I've created a new page on earthquake information. It may not be enough but am doing my best on updates.

Caterpillar's Murmur

Bad Cycle

(SUN) June 20th, 2021

4:42 p.m. There's been an accident in Unicorn Stakes. Pink Kamehameha has bolted to the inside crashing into the fence and rider Hiroshi Kitamura has been thrown off the course, landing on his left shoulder. Hope Kitamura and the horse is all right.

Hiroshi Kitamura hasn't had much luck lately, he's been riding on and off partly because of injuries and his backache. He once had a chance to get himself into a good cycle when he was riding Kitasan Black, but then he fell again injured, and was replaced by Yutaka after winning Kikka-sho, with Yokoyama Sr. in between. Kitamura has been in a bad cycle since then.

I'd waved goodbye to Ca Va at an early stage of my pondering, so he went unmarked although I had Smasher on my wheel. I guess this is what happens when you ignore someone waving at you. I called right about Keiai Lovage and Luce d'Oro however, can't let Keiai Lovage's terrible start pass without a remak or two.
