Dilenma

(SAT) February 28th, 2026

9:26 p.m. The turf condition of Nakayama today seemed good as expected, though the moisture hadn't evaporated much overnight. Therfore, inner post starters will largely be advantaged. Unless the pace gets tight, which is unlikely to happen, trailers starting from outer posts will have a hard time.

It makes me think that I might as well bet on the inner barriers from 1 to 5 but then, bracket quinellas have lower odds compared to trios. If I tried to bet on all the horses drawing these inner barriers, then there would be too many of them. Now there's a dilenma.

Currently, the names remaining on my list are all from inner posts, Seiun Hades, Magic Sands, Spark Richard, Lebensstil, Cervinia. Oh, Kalamatianos was still left from an outer post. Wish I didn't have to buy Cervinia, as I don't feel like Nakayama with the tight corners can draw out her best performance.

The End
