Changed Measures

(SAT) June 14th, 2025

9:50 p.m. You may be tired of hearing my apologies by now, but I will apologize anyway for being late again as well as not being prepared.

I have changed measures when calling a bit so as to win the last spring G1, Takaraduka Kinen. It has been getting me confused while I deleted horses with less possibilities up until Yasuda Kinen, and since it also consumed a lot of time, I decided to try things the other way. In other words, I crossed out all the horses at the start this time to pick up only the ones that might have a chance in certain conditions.

Enough with the lecture. The horses currently remaining are Bellagio Opera, Chuck Nate, Lord del Rey, Durezza, Sol Oriens, and Meisho Tabaru.

I'm thinking of betting in formation, though haven't yet decided whether it should be trio or trifecta. If I'm forced to say, perhaps I might key Sol Oriens in case I'm betting on a wheel. Will skip tomorrow as Mr. N-jima is coming again BTW.
