Spring House Cleaning

Tallying up the win/loss , profit/loss for the Spring. After three months we are showing a profit thanks in part to the good return in the February Stakes. Trainer Kazuya Nakatake 's good run early in January ,Katsuhiru Tanaka's Birthday card on Feb 25th, and Carnavolet's return on the straight Trifecta( March 10th ) round out the bigger wins thus far this campaign. Missed out on Trip in the Yayoi sho as a major wager, but the key horse did manage a 2nd place finish, but unfortunately to no profitable avail.

Tosen Ares moves up to a graded race after finally winning at the 1600 level. All but one of his five wins came here at Nakayama. If he can hit the start( unlike the last time Shibata rode him) this 12-1 horse could figure here.

Owner Richie Kondo hasn't had much success in the main races thus far this year. Let's see if Historical can turn that around.
