Caterpillar's Murmur

A Pickle

(SAT) February 7th, 2026

8:35 p.m. The threats became true and it really snowed in Tokyo today. Althuogh snow is not falling right now where I live, forecasts say it will start falling again. As a result, five races after Race 8 have been cancelled at Tokyo to avoid the risk of accidents. Forecast opinions seem to be divided between lasting snowfall and the contrary, so I just can't tell whether races will even be run tomorrow or not, let alone how the track condition might be.

Nevertheless, I'm back with my call for Tokyo Shinbun-hai as I promised on Thursday. I'm a caterpillar of my words. Here are the names on my list: Lavanda, Off Trail, Sakura Toujours, Emperor's Sword, Red Mon Reve, and Water Licht. I might add Sirius Colt in case the race runs on a good to firm track. But then, I will have to delete one from my list, which is a pickle.
