Caterpillar's Murmur
Who Would That Be?
(SAT) December 20th, 2025
9:08 p.m. The track condition is the only factor left.
Forecasts have finally announced that rain will be expected in Hyogo where Hanshin Race Course is located, but the predictions about precipitation are divided between forecasting companies. Some say it would be a full-fledged rain around noon to early afternoon, while others say it would just be a drizzle.
The track condition of Hanshin turf early today when it had been checked was closed to that of a good to firm condition, although JRA's annnouncement said it was firm. Fast finishing time has been recorded, which seem to show that the ground is firm. Rain or no rain, I assume we'll have another fast finish of say, 1 min. 32 seconds range. Horses taking their positions way behind will have a hard time to catch the front runners.
The six horses currently remaining on my list are Ecoro Alba, Corteo Soleil, Cavallerizzo, Diamond Knot, Admire Quads, and Realize Sirius. From these six, one will have to go depending on tomorrows track condition. Who would that be, I wonder?
The End
