Caterpillar's Murmur
Not Good at All
(TUE) March 17th, 2019
7:48 p.m. Having clinging to Nakayama 1800m for the past three weeks, there's something I noticed about the pace. It's more likely to go at a relaxed pace when the majority of the compeitors are either extending the distance frome their previous race or running the same distance as their most recent race.
What happens when the pace drops on Nakayama 1800m is that it helps the outer post drawers sweep up the outside if they have the potential as a sweeper, which was exactly what happened in Spring Stakes.
As of today, there are 18 horses entered for Flower Cup, while half of them ran in a mile race previously. I wonder if the same thing will be repeated this week?
Oh, no. I just spotted the name of Exceed, a younger sister to Equinox among the entrees. The rider not to mention, is Christophe, which means the most favored win odds could again drop to the one point something range. That's not good, not good at all.
The End
Caterpillar
