Caterpillar's Murmur

Might Rain

(SAT) September 14th, 2024

8:41 p.m. Yet again, I have seven horses remaining on my list of candidates for Rose Stakes. One of the reasons beside my being irresistably sleepy is because I heard they might be having rain in Chukyo.

Today's Chukyo turf races all finished with pretty fast records thanks to the temporary fence that covered the damaged inner parts of te course. But if it rains during the night and possibly into the day tomorrow, the track condition which I assumed to be firm and fast can change drastically.

Therefore, I thought it would be better to make my final decision tomorrow after I've cchecked the turf condition. And these are the names of the horses currently surviving on my list; Canicule, Queen's Walk, Aurora X, Celesta, Tagano Elpida, Sekitoba East, and Regaleira. I'd probably key Queen's Walk FYI.

Meanwhile, Centlight Kinen's entry has been closed with 14 horses, with the barriers drawn and announced. Will have to work on it tomorrow.
