One Second

(TUE) November 18th, 2025

9:10 p.m. Let's move on to Mile Championship.

This mile G1 is hard to approach, though. The reason is because this race has turned into a wild race two years in a row since 2023, in other words, after the Kyoto renewal. Until then, Mile Championship mostly finished on the favored side. What exactly has changed, then?

As far as I know, the finishing record became faster compared to before the renewal. The finishing time of 2019, the last time this race was held on Kyoto turf was 1min. 33.0 seconds while last year's Mile Championship ended with 1min. 32.0 seconds. The gap reaches one second. A one-second time gap in the world of horseracing where they beat their rivals by a nose or a head, is actually big and said to be equivalent to 5 lengths.

What I fear is that the property of therace might have changed.

The End
