Probably Mostly Fast

(TUE) February 24th, 2026

9:20 p.m. They say we're having a full-fledged rain in a while. Forecasts are predicting rain all day throughout tomorrow, which will be a blessing as it hardly rained since late last fall in Kanto and we are dryig up. The season is moving and it will become warmer with every rainfall. That's something to be glad about. I can't just sit back and be glad, though as the amount of rainfall can change the results of races drastically.

Nakayama turf seems to start in good condition for now, unless it rains heavily on Saturday despite the forecasts' predictions. Looking back, the last Nakayama races were run on well-conditioned turf with the finishing time turning out to be quite fast. As a matter of fact, the last grade race on Nakayama turf, AJCC recorded 2 min. 10.8 seconds for 2200m on Course C.

The second Nakayama turf races start from Course A, perhaps slightly tougher than last September because it has been overseeded, but probaly mostly fast, I guess.

The End
