Caterpillar's Murmur

Before Zoom Meeting

(THU) December 2nd, 2021

6:28 p.m. The barrier draw for Champions' Cup has been announced. Let me run through the draw before my zoom meeting starts.

Post Number	Horse Name
1	Sodashi
2	Casino Fountain
3	Aunrise Nova
4	Inti
5	Air Spinel
6	T O Keynes
7	Sunrise Hope
8	Suave Aramis
9	Auvergne
10	K T Brave
11	Another Truth
12	Clincher
13	Chuwa Wizard
14	Danon Pharaoh
15	Meisho Hario
16	Cafe Pharaoh

Sodashi has drawn the inner-most post. This might not be good for her since it's her first dirt race and many horses don't like to have sand kicked into their faces. However, looking at it from a different aspect it could be a good draw since Kurofune descendants tend to perform better when starting from inner posts. Chuwa Wizard the most favored has drawn post number 13 but it might not be a problem if he could sweep up the outside like last year starting from post number 12.
