The year is coming to an end.
Even here at Honshu, the Fuchu of pedestrians on the street has turned into a thick color.
After crossing the boarding gate and sliding open the phone screen, I first used LINE to send a safety message to RacheIHo, who was left behind at Nishiken Farm.
[Be sure to take more photos]
Also! We will also cheer in front of the TV!!!]
These two replies were immediately followed by a tearful cat emoji.
I remember that on most game days, Rachel Ho was drawn with the option of [leave] rather than [avoid], so she often received protests from those who were unlucky.
Even so, goddess luck occasionally fails.
Chongli and Poetic Banquet left Year-End Grand Prix, but those who stayed behind were Nishiken Farm who had been lucky in the past.
Although when Hopeful Stakes raced yesterday, the horse owners and members of the Nishiken Farm production team were very happy, but that was the case before the Hopeful Stakes race ended.
Dawn, who started at the fifth gate, collided with the running horse at the adjacent gate after exiting the gate, and once fell behind significantly in the middle of the road, he caught up to the lead.
However, the club and Dawn-kun himself were rewarded for the first time, but ended up being overtaken by three consecutive moves.
Although it is a completely satisfactory result, both the horse owners who supported the race on site and online and everyone who produced Nishiken Farm experienced a roller coaster of emotions while watching the race.
On the other side, Arima Memorial has been worried about the gate position before the game.
Not only did Chongli draw the eleventh rank that Wada and Mr. Haruki were satisfied with, but Poetic Banquet also drew the fourth rank of the inner gate with great difficulty.
Maybe this is what Dr. Kobayashi calls "the balance of fortune".
Then I checked my phone again to see if there was any new reply from Liu Bei Wei.
Maybe it's because I don't want to be stimulated anymore, or maybe I'm just too busy to get away. In short, there are no new unread messages popping up except for the message Rachel Ho just sent.
Then just wait until you get to the racecourse and take it out to look at it again.
In this way, we embarked on Arima Memorial's game watching journey.
The sun has risen, and the bustling streets of Central Tokyo are gradually filled with pedestrians of all kinds.
Looking at the scrolling text on the electronic signboard outside the rental car window, one can feel the atmosphere of Year-End Grand Prix even before arriving at the racecourse.
The birthplace of the modern Racehorse that carries your and then my dreams is United Kingdom, and the one that was held in Japan in the form of imitating United Kingdom Racehorse and overcame various difficulties and developed to this day is Japan modern Racehorse.
During this period of history, as a competition unique to Japan and gaining national support, it was probably Arima Memorial.
Just like All-Star Game in professional baseball, Fans votes to determine the running horse. The three-year-old horse that has gone through the classic route competes with the ancient horse to determine Japan's first place. Horse King - held during the Europe offseason at the end of the year and created as a year-round summative event, is Arima Memorial.
Under the cold sky of the twelfth lunar month, I tried my best to cheer for Racehorse, which carries my dreams, and it felt like the long year was over.
Not limited to the horse racing community and horse fans, to this day Arima Memorial is probably generally considered a festival or celebration by the people.
There are also many people who say "Only Arima Memorial buys horse racing tickets" and "Only Arima Memorial looks at Racehorse", just like the New Year's Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Even Mr. and Mrs. Ravide, who are usually not very keen on watching games on the spot, are rarely interested this time.
-On the contrary, another Mr. Deputy Stable Manager has been doing some kind of facial exercises since a few days ago, sometimes feeling high and sometimes sighing.
"BOSS
Just when I was thinking, "Is Zepp too silent today?", Germany, who was sitting slightly bent over in the passenger seat of the rental car, spoke up.
"What's wrong?"
"Will Duraran retire after Arima Memorial?"
"Hmm... Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, both I and teacher Wada are more inclined to let him try the five-year-old season."
Even with the most optimistic expectation of "Arima Memorial Lesheng", as the third-generation foal of True Call whose Stallion market has become saturated, it is difficult for Chongli to establish its advantages as Stallion in terms of performance and pedigree - at least for now.
In addition, judging from the panel and actual horse body feedback, there seems to be room for continued growth, so after discussions, the camp made the decision to continue active duty next year.
"That is to say, at least this year's Arima Memorial will not have the final beauty of Duraran. Zepp looked like he hammered his head with regret, and then returned to the hesitant expression just now.
Light's Wedge, will retire after today's Arima Memorial game.
According to Mr. Deputy Stable Manager, "If Duraran also plans to retire, there will be no need to hesitate about the position of his life like now."
To be honest, I don't understand his logic at all.
"Duraran, Poetic Banquet, Lighty, just follow your heart and support the horse you like.
"But as expected, I was still very confused. Mr. Deputy Stable Manager then started doing the same set of facial exercises.
After arriving at the racecourse, leading the members to complete the registration and disbanding, we first watched the morning race with Mr. Sugiyama, who came to the scene as the representative of Nishiken Farm.
By the way, I also tried to send an invitation to Nishiken Farm, the manufacturer of Poetic Banquet, but maybe because the prediction of winning the championship was not high, the other party chose to decline in the end.
"This child is my destiny in this game. Where is Yuki-kun?"
"Then I'll choose the Chestnut Horse end near the inner gate."
Although they did not purchase horse racing tickets, the two horse owners and horse breeders were infected by the surrounding atmosphere and played a game of guessing Winning Horse.
The results were mixed since the beginning of the morning game. Although both players' accuracy rates were much higher than before, the iced oolong tea they drank in the cold air seemed to increase the frequency of going to the toilet.
The competition continued, and finally it was Arima Memorial, the final battle at the end of the year.
While worrying about Mr. Sugiyama who had not come back from going to the toilet, he left the running horse owner's room and went to the green space in the center of the parade ground to wait for the running horse to enter.
After Light's Wedge, who seemed a little anxious, took the lead to appear on the stage amidst exclamations and noises, Year's Derby Winner Humanity Flourishes also followed Lead Horse faithfully onto the stage of Arima Memorial.
A few horses behind is Poetic Banquet.
Although the popularity before the game was not too high, when Poetic Banquet came on the stage for review, there was a continuous round of applause from behind the railing.
"The child is in good condition. Although his concentration is still not enough, his awareness of the game has finally been developed."
Master Ikee looked at Poetic Banquet with a smile on his face and gave Ryan Moore Jockey the easy instructions of "Perform your best".
Soon after, Chongli, who was the Grand Prix Top Vote-Getter and Most Popular, appeared on the stage, and a loud cheer broke out from behind the railing.
On this side of the camp that attracted much attention before the game, the pre-game atmosphere of Master Wada and Mr. Haruki tended to be more serious and heavy.
When looking at them, it seemed that even his own mood was getting a little nervous unconsciously.
"Race 11, the horse riding was marked by the loud voice of the racecourse's banning committee member, and the unique high mood of Arima Memorial began to permeate the venue.
There is a strange atmosphere that Fuchu's Derby or Japan Cup don't have—it's probably the title of "the last show at the end of the year" that makes people start to look back on their own time this year.
The gate box was displayed on the large screen directly in front of the venue and on the small screen next to Chairman Ma, and the sending committee members also began to move towards Starter's Tower.
Racehorse Paper undulated like white waves in the field, rolled into a tube and waving.
The cheers flying under the blue winter sky even swallowed up the sound of the horns played live.
The end of the year, Arima Memorial[@shinvshengyouchia
Although I didn't watch it, judging from the feedback in the group after the game, I really missed a big show. Anyway, it's good that I wasn't injured.
Although Ryan Moore failed to be stolen from the next door in the leaf trough before the game, there was no big problem with Yokoyama's performance. Judging from the feedback from the Uchida teacher before the game, I thought he would follow suit. He pulled a big one like his dad, but the result was surprisingly good. In a sense, it is also a kind of Prolific Maestro. Although it is another year of G1 and even 0 rewards, I feel that I can look forward to next year's Classics]"
