Mile Championship


Kyoto 11th Race

#2 Smile Jack...For three consecutive races from March 21 to June 6th did any horse have as competitive fractions as Jack had. A true miler , after a 4 month break, Jack went up in distance in the G2 Mainichi Okan where he ran admirably but fell short.The Tenno-sho showed nothing except that this horse has developed nicely into a mid-pack stalker regardless of the distance. Back at 1600m and with 2 quality races in the books, perhaps that Spring form will be regained and get a good horse over 10.1 on the boards.

The Wager: #2 with 4,8,11,12,15,16....¥1000 Each-Way Exacta

Long shot saver...# 12 Absolute...too good of horse to be at 50.0. After nearly 5 months off I'm not so certain his form will be off!

The Wager: #12 with 4,8,11,15,16...¥500 Quinellas

Total Wager: ¥14,500....Profit index on every ticket from 8-2 ( 49.5) to 11-2 ( 145.0)

Nice call on Air Wolf. I didn't buy any tickets on Saturday though...

I like Smile Jack. He could definitely do well here and I really think the pinch-hitting jockey could be a plus. It's not an easy race though. Anything could happen so I'm gonna be bold.
The wager: 2-16-17...4000 yen trio (320,000 return)
9-16-17...4000 thousand yen trio (220,000 return)
2-9-16...3000 yen trio (360,000 return)
2-16... 1000 yen quinella (37,000 return
16-2...2000 yen exacta (130,000 return)
2-9...1000 yen quinella (64,0000 return
9-2...2000 yen exacta (260,000 return)
9-16...1000 yen quinella (25000 return)
9-16...2000 yen exacta (100,000 return)

Total outlay: 20,000 yen (high risk, high return approach...)

It is a difficult race...the odds are spread out evenly between the top tier horses. Your #9 To the glory scares me a bit too..I will probably add him to Jack to be on the safe side. Good luck

Yeah that pace burned him. And my picks were pure dog crap...glad I don't do this for a living. LOL

JC should be exciting.
