Japan racing, 2013-14

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 (!).

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:

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.

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

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.
