It's impossible, isn't it?
I guess all I can do is pick Buena Vista for the win since it's her last race and I'm sentimental. I know how good Orfevre is though and no question have to use him in the 2nd spot cause it really is between those two. This is where I get mixed up. I know Victorie Pisa is 4 for 4 at Nakayama but well actually I just deleted what I wrote cause obviously both of us are fans of SO many of these horses (how many G1 winners in thie field? Almost all of them!). One of the few I have not yet had any attachment to is Earnestly and I've gotta say, he looks really good right now so if I were playing (and I think I'll sit it out cause it's Christmas Eve and all).. if i were though I'd use him in the 3rd spot (maybe Tosen Jordan too) and fret over half the field to fill out the super. A fan of waaaay too many. It's ridiculous! Good luck to you, my friend, and may they all come home safe... and happy retirement to Buena Vista! Lest I forget, Pelusa is out... http://japanracing.jp/_news2011/111224.html edit - I'm a degenerate... I played a tri and a super and will leave it at that. Basically what I had said only I added in the horses I really like underneath (Rose Kingdom, Rulership, To the Glory, Jaguar Mail and 2 others that i can't think of right now!).

Well good for him.
Another superstar... Still haven't even watched the replay but it's here along with full results for anyone else who missed it. It's been fun watching her career though, hasn't it? Aaah well. http://japanracing.jp/en/index.html Merry Christmas!

the torch is passed. golden boy takes it. you could see at the top of the stretch he was going to win. very bright future ahead of him. i hope he stays healthy and continues to progress.... he will be fun to follow.
buena vista ran like she was over the top. eager early and flat late. plus i really don't think she likes the inside. it's been a spotty year for her but getting the japan cup made it all worth it. she had a fantastic career - have a great retirement girl! p.s. Merry Christmas to you too!

PPs, February Stakes (Espoir City, Transcend, Yaminan Kingly, Silk Fortune, Grand Prix Boss et al)...
http://japanracing.jp/_news2012/pdf/120208.pdf Sunday Star (or anyone!) is Smile Jack gonna go? Do you love the name Tosho Freak as much as I do?  (I wonder if She Is Tosho has had any runners yet).

Anyone playing tonight?
Definitely using Wonder Acute with Transcend... possibly Silk Fortune, Danon Come On or Yamanin Kingly who I'd assume will be at massive odds. (I like Grand Prix Boss and Smile Jack but am not seeing either one here)... Barrier draw... http://japanracing.jp/_news2012/120217.html

Yeah it was very strange! I still say he wins the Arc this year (that was my prediction on the predictions thread).
Who do you like in theTakamatsunomiya Kinen? Does it just belong to Curren Chan? The barrier draw is... tomorrow?

I didn't consider that one at all until I just now went to look... not sure. I mean I might use him underneath... will be at nice odds and hey if he (he or she?) can beat the big guns that would be cool.
Curren Chan is sooo good, it would be nice to see Dasher Go Go get a big win, I know Lord Kanaloa will be one of the favorites and rightly so... I know he can't do it here but I will definately use (and root for) Jo Cappuccino. The one I'm not sure what to do about is Majin Prosper. If I play a super I'll use Tokai Mystery in the 4th spot even though that would be nearly impossible for her. (Her odds will be massive though so why not?). Of the top of my head right this second I'm thinking... Curren Chan / Grand Prix Angel, Dasher Go Go, Lord Kanaloa and then add your guy in the third spot. Saver on my old man Jo. This will change a thousand times though. You?

How did you do?
She is just so good, isn't she? I put in my plays and had to leave and of course didn't have San Carlo anywhere. Full results, replay, pic of Curren Chan here of course (I know you know, I meant for anyone else who wants to see her!). http://japanracing.jp/en/index.html
