Track Conditions

(FRI) June 27th, 2025

9:03 p.m. The barriers have been drawn for both grade races Hakodate Kinen and Radio NIKKEi-sho.

Hakodate seems to have had quite a lot of precipitaion from Thursday. The forecast says Saturday and Sunday will be sunny, though the track condition is concerning. The pace Auswahl leads would be average, I assume.

As for Radio NIKKEI-sho, the two runaways formerly mentioned both drew outer posts. Considering Shonan Macbeth has drawn the outmost post, perhaps Tsumura might want to take the lead more badly than Yokoyama Sr. riding Tres Saphir.

Fukushima's turf seems to be in very good condition, BTW.
