October 17th

BEST BET*** Tokyo 7th Race....#１ CRAWFORD...Her last two races were finishes of 9th and 7th but yet she has morning odds of 6.7. It would seem the odds should be higher however this Sunday Racing Co horse had promising numbers as a 2yr-old which until now haven't carried over into her 3yr campaign. Generally weak field here to give her a greater chance at re- discovering her talents.

# 8 Rhein Dream...this blog is 3/4 on winning percentage on this horse. Came in 2nd last time out in a race that should have been won, still a key horse in a box ticket that has potential.

#8 Smart Gear..Been to the well many times with this horse and have came up dry. He doesn't seem to be digressing ( fractions still strong) but he cant seem to go full throttle. Came in 2nd last year in this race and maybe the other Take riding him for the first time can figure something out. Getting over 10.0 on a horse that is capable.

September 26th FLASH is BACK

<FLASH >JOURNEY

Bygones to Summer and now the Autumn Campaign is upon us. Instead of the likes of Maruka Shenk and Field Bear, we can now look forward to more marquee names like Dream Journey and Rose Kingdom highlighting our racing programs.

A couple of good races kick starting the season this Sunday. Unlike last week where I was shooting for a result these races here don't seem to have that horse to reap any big ticket.

Kobe Shinbun Hai
Hanshin 10th Race

Except for last year where Piko won, this is a race always won by the DERBY entries. There are four in the race headlined of course by the winner Eishin Flash. What has been most impressive about this horse is his ability to fire on any pace. A downfall for most stretch runners, Flash seems to do better the slower the race develops, which bodes well for him in this race too.

Rose Kingdom..Gonna take a risk here but this race looks like window dressing for a possible Tenno-Sho run in October. It took trainer Hashiguchi two races to get him in form for 2000 meters the last break of 3 months. This being 2400 and with Yutaka on board just doesn't seem right to me.

(6) San Diego.....Most of his success came in the Fall
(8) Silk Olde.....Could be capable or not
(10) Reve....needed a pace before, lets see what time off has done.**************************

All Comers
Nakayama 11th Race

Dream Journey had 59kilo last year and handled it just fine coming in 2nd. One has to always worry for a potential down spiral considering his breakout year in 09, but there would have to have some major digress issues not to be on the board in this one.

The Wager: #3 with 6,8,10 ￥2000 Each -Way Exacta
(6) Silport..interesting front runner abet at 2200...if the pace is a crawl the distance wouldn't matter much anyways.
