2022 Japanese Racing

[tachyon]

Many racing fans in Japan have been deeply impressed not only by the winner Equinox but also by the runner-up Panthalassa today, as the latter reminded us of the legendary Silence Suzuka (Sunday Silence).
Panthalassa went first 1000m in 57.4, exactly the same sectional time Silence Suzuka had marked in that tragic Tenno Sho Autumn in 1998, and came home safe.

HANSHIN 11R
THE QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 CUP(G1)

This looks like an exciting race, and one I will be watching.

Will also take note of the Dirt Routes today as well. Watch these in case any invaders come over here.
R6 1-1/8 on Dirt
R7 1-1/4 Dirt
R1 was 1-1/8 on Dirt. Came in 5-7-3
1st Jasper Barows(JPN) Shane Foley/Shimizu, Hisashi
2nd Isaias (favorite 1/1) Lemaire/Yoshimora
3rd Shonan Akidon Fukunaga/Takano

For the QE2 (1-3/8 on Turf) I like these horses, no order but not using the top favorites for the win spot. Not wagering but I liked these
11 (Namur)
15 (Lilac)
18 (Geraldina)
8 (Andvaranaut)

Longshots:
9 (longshot) Win Kitos
14 (longshot) Akai Ito


Trying to get more into foreign racing, most fun time I've had all year was capping the Melbourne Cup with a friend. We went in on exacta becuase it's really hard to get a tri in a field of 22, esp with the high level of runners in this one. I think we worked on it for 2.5 days, on the phone.....played a few exactas and it paid over $600. So paid off our work. Hard to get that kind of $$ in U.S. races for an exacta. The Melbourne Cup was an absolutely fantastic field of 22 horses. I bypassed capping the BC races to concentrate on it instead.

It has just started to rain in Hanshin now.
We may need to see how this will affect the turf and the horses.

Hanshin R8 2200m turf was won by Orfevre 3yo colt Mixology(JPN) going the same course and the distance as the QE2 cup.
Turf condition has been downgraded to yielding now.
Stay Gold line is believed to love the soft.

[tachyon]

I hope that the 2020 Triple Tiara winner Daring Tact will return to the winner's circle in 2 years.

I never listen to the talking heads, they kept saying how Lilac was out of condition blah blah blah but I liked her. And it helped move her up from 40-1 to 79-1 odds for me. Ditto, they were getting off geraldina as she was jumping all over the place, moved her odds from 8-1 to 9-1. It was a dead heat for 2nd but my horse paid more.
Geraldina won.

18 $20.20 $9.80 $8.10
15 . $31.90 $39.70
$1.00 Exacta 18/15 $207.10


My 14 longshot ran 4th @40-1.

Geraldina(JPN), 2018F. Maurice(JPN) x Gentildonna(JPN) by Deep Impact(JPN), won the G1 QE2 Cup 2200m turf at Hanshin under Christian Demuro on Nov 13th 2022!!!
Gentildonna became the 10th JRA G1 winning broodmare to produce one or more JRA G1 winner in history.**
I would love to see Geraldina run in the Japan Cup!!

This result makes me very happy: I was a fan of her dam, Gentildonna, who was a wonderful race mare. Geraldina reminds me of her.

[tachyon]

Magical Lagoon(IRE) will not run in the Japan Cup after finishing last.
It sounds like Win Marilyn(JPN)(2nd) and Daring Tact(JPN)(6th) are considering the Japan Cup in two weeks.
