When we left the racecourse, the eastern sky had turned to the color of night, leaving only the sunset with some blood in the opposite direction.
"With his performance, it would be a pity not to go to Dubai."
The Darley Japan camp representative who just met said this half-jokingly, and the UAE Racing Association official who was following him also took advantage of the situation and proposed a reception invitation for the Dubai World Cup night. In addition to Chongli who just made a big splash at Japan Cup, Sawin Matoba also received the same invitation.
After a brief consideration, I agreed.
Although it is still early before the night of Dubai World Cup, it is not impossible that something unexpected happens during the process.
Passing through Kyosho Road, at the station we were separated from the crowds of people who were also coming out of the racecourse.
The second half of the journey suddenly became much easier. Turn left at the entrance of Koganei Road and enter the shopping street. The busy traffic lights fell behind and only the light from the nostalgic street lamps was left in front of you.
An izakaya named Windward Tavern.
If I remember correctly, it was also this company that I made an appointment with before Japan Cup Race and Wada last year.
However, the result of the game at that time was really unacceptable to everyone involved, and coupled with the general depressed mood, we made the decision to "temporarily postpone the reflection meeting to a later date" with the consent of all parties.
After a long detour, we are back here. I thought so and opened the store door, and immediately heard the laughter of Mr. Sugiyama "wahahahaha" from the other side of the store door.
"It's really lively."
And the excitement was too much. After closing the store door again, he reluctantly gave an apologetic look to the other customers in the store.
In front of the seats near the corner, people related to the camp have gathered here, headed by Master Wada and Mr. Sugiyama. Everyone chatted and communicated casually like a family gathering.
-Or it is indeed a family gathering to some extent. After all, from Trainer's teacher Wada to Jockey's Haruki and training assistant Keijiro, there are already quite a few people from the Wada family alone.
There are two square tables put together, and there are already a lot of drinks and snacks on the table.
"Thank you for coming!"
"Oh! It's finally here, President is so slow."
Haruki Jun smiled and nodded this way.
"Sorry, sorry, I just had a chat with Racehorse official from the UAE for a while."
He put down his luggage bag and sat down between the seats given by Haruki-kun and Keijiro-kun, and spoke.
"That means I'm going to Dubai next year, right? Not only the questioner, Mr. Sugiyama, but also several other related people looked at me with some expectant eyes.
"Not only Duraran, the other party also invited Sawin, which turned it into a happy worry."
So how about letting Sawin run Dubai World Cup came from the half-joking suggestion from training assistant Keijiro.
Of course, this is just a mostly joke suggestion.
After all, Sawin itself is not really a proud horse on mud. Let's not say whether it will hit United States's first-line mud horse Racehorse. Even if the opponent is a strong local or domestic horse, the chances of winning are not optimistic.
For Saudi Cup, the location and distance are quite suitable.
However, on the basis that Stallion's prospects have been ensured, there is naturally no need to take risks on the Saudi Arabia expedition.
In the same way, although I initially thought about whether Emperor's Prize would go on an expedition to Hong Kong after the game, I still gave up such an idea.
Under Mr. Sugiyama's slightly surprised gaze, he said, "If everyone goes to Dubai, then Duraran will go to Sima Classic
Competition, Sawin goes to the grassland competition" camp split is expected.
If it can prove its strength at a distance of 400 and a half miles, the prospects of Stallion will also be improved. It is reasonable for the breeders Matoba to have such an idea, but after understanding the true range of Sawin early in the morning, they have not considered competitions of more than 2,000 meters.
However, compared to the coming year, which seems far away now, there is another issue facing the camp.
The year-end Grand Prix, Arima Memorial.
"So, Arima Memorial will go, right?" Well... we still have to see the status of Duraran at that time to decide."
After hearing this, Mr. Sugiyama showed a somewhat disappointed expression.
But after all, I just finished running and consumed a lot of Japan Cup.
In addition, in addition to Chongli, there is actually another child whose goal is Arima Memorial - although the horse owner would rather have her compete with Hong Kong.
Now it seems that there is a high probability that Poetic Banquet will stage a "same title showdown" with Chongli in Arima Memorial. Since Devon Coe Jockey's short-term exemption has expired, the new partner chosen by the camp is Ryan Moore Jockey.
As a result, Ryan Moore Jockey readily accepted the commission, thus ending Breeders' Cup's post-game vacation at United States.
Although I am glad that the other party accepted the request, but in this case, the plan of "letting Poetic Banquet and Devon Coe Jockey go to Hong Kong International Races" has to be abandoned.

East Sport Horse Racing critic"[@KeijiroWada:
I started to suffer from insomnia about a week before the competition. It is said that Haruki also had trouble sleeping. Even his uncle often walked around Stables without saying a word, which shocked everyone several times.
On the contrary, Duraran himself was no different from usual. He slept soundly until he was saddled up and took to the field today.
I was walking with Duraran in my hand while listening to the announcement in the stadium. It turned out that the popularity before the game was much lower than I expected. I was still wondering if I had heard it wrong. I found that my uncle and Haruki had unconvinced looks on their faces, so I had to admit that I had heard it wrong.
I don't have any deep memories about the race itself. Since we started in front of the stands, I stayed with my uncle and the others after I sent Duraran into the gate. Until we crossed the line, everyone was staring at the notice board quietly. The moment we came out, we started to hug each other and celebrate as if we were finally relieved.
A year late, Japan Cup wins.]"
