Caterpillar's Murmur

NOT think TOO MUCH

(SUN) February 8th, 2026

8:35 p.m. Full-fledged snow started to fall way past midnight and it was piling up around three in the morning. So it didn't come as a surprise when JRA announced today's Tokyo (and Kyoto) raes to be postponed. Well, there were times like this in the past. I'm not sure but it could have been Kisaragi-sho if my memory is correct.

Tokyo Shinbun-hai has been officially announced to run on... Tuesday! I'm sure the snow would be gone by then. Tuesday is a work day for me so personally I can't welcome the decision with all my heart, though I know it can't be helped considering the safety of the horses as well as the jockies.

At least they're not gonna draw the barriers again. That's one good news. Let's look at the bright side that the snow has given me some more time to think so that I can win. At the same time, let's NOT think TOO MUCH as to change the decisions I've already made after a lot of pondering.
