8:27 p.m. Tired since I had to clean the whole house. Although my place is very small, it's a task to clean all the rooms which is why it keeps me away for as long as passable.

Time to start checking out the features and recent trends of Kyoto Daishoten, apart from the fact it usually ends without going wild. Basically, Kyoto Daishoten rarely runs at a tight pace as the leading battle settles before the horses enter the first corner. Last year was an excepton in that sense. Because the race usually unfolds at an average to slow pace, the inner post drawers naturally gets the advatage. So it's only the front runners that need caution concerning horses starting from outer posts, just like Sprinters' Stakes.

The results of the past 10 years back up what I said, except for King of Koji who won the third place in 2020. This I believe, was a special situation when the inner post drawers other than Kiseki turned out to be not capable enough to finish above third place.

The End
