PPs, Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby)...

http://japanracing.jp/_news2014/pdf/140521.pdf

SS... will Isla Bonita be the favorite?

At this early stage am interested in One and Only, Win Full Bloom and World Imnpact (...and possibly the filly, Red Reveur).

Need to play this one so will look more later.

Let me know who you like!

Poor Glorious Days - sent all alone for the Ysauda Kinen (his 3rd try). Oh for the days when a few of the raiders would go over together!

Hope he wins but who knows with Just a Way and Mikki both pointed.

Joao Moreira has the mount. :)

Barrier draw...

Win Full Bloom scratched from Tokyo Yushun

Win Full Bloom (horse number 7) has been scratched from the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) (G1, Race 10) on Sunday, June 1, at Tokyo Racecourse due to lameness in his left shoulder

looks like you have it figured out :). To the World deserves a look for sure.

Hope you did well, Sunday Star.

Only had a win bet... played a tri and a super but didn't use Meiner Frost or Tagano Grandpa anywhere.

It's all good (... and have read that Ekimae is alright).

Hey Sunday Star it is exhausting work losing all kinds of bets! :D

So today whatever I handicapped I sucked at but the few things that were okay were cause of horses I just like SO I will forgo reason here and do a simple win bet on my HK raider, Glorious Days, a show bet - which I rarely do - using Whale Capture, put something together with Just a Way, Mikki and the other favorite (I just blanked out.Duh!) and call it a day.

Good luck if you're playing!

Odds...

edit:

Okay $20. to win on Glorious Days
$10. show, Whale Capture
tri... 6/7,8,10/1,3,7,8,10,11,13,16,17
exacta... 6,7/6,7,8,10

Just a Way wow, looked dead in the water but class came through over the crazy longshot

Jesus I almost had a heart attack watching that one! Lost everything but it's all good. :D

Gold Ship, Win Variation, Gentildonna, Denim and Ruby, Verxina, Hit he Target, Hokko Brave...

I'd say the Takarazuka Kinen looks like it'll be a good one (!).

http://japanracing.jp/_news2014/pdf/140618.pdf

definitely - looks like a great race. hopefully Denim and Ruby will get back on track. i think soft ground will favor Gold Ship and firm ground will favor Gentildonna. but Win Variation and Hokku Brave should not be overlooked.

In looking I keep coming back to Win Variation but it's still early (and besides - the data analysis can start to freak me out just a little when there's a red flag but whatever!)... there is still time!

Barrier draw:

Morning line...

http://japanracing.jp/_news2014/pdf/140628.pdf

Okay I am rooting for Gold Ship, Gentildonna, Denim and Ruby and Verxina (yes I know that is ridiculous. I am about two seconds away from deciding on passing completely but am not sure if that's the smart thing to do)...

Had to get that off my chest first. :D

Was going to use Win Variation and Hokko Brave on top but it is just not cost effective so even though I fear Hokko Brave.

Win Variation / Hokko Brave, Verxina, Hi the Target and will throw Denim and Ruby, Tosen Jordan, Gentildonna and Meisho Mambo in underneath. (To hell with it I just added in Gold Ship and Fame Game... $1. tri for $24. and a little $10. win on Verxina).

Good luck if you're playing.


edit - Did a wps on Verxina instead (she's at 38/1 with 7 mtp) and then an exacta with her and WV on top. Leaving it at that.

edit - Gold Ship wins.. Verxina 3rd.

nice run by Gold Ship. i guess he likes that track and distance :rolleyes:

apparently Gentildonna needs a race after the Dubai trip. she didn't have it. not sure what happened with Win Variation....expected a better run from him. and Verxina made a nice run to hold on for 3rd.

i wish they would send one or two of their good ones to the Breeders Cup. i suppose the timing isn't right though...and their purses are so rich at home.

Wish they would too, SS.

Hey did you hear about this?

I think it's ridiculous.
