[Intermediate adjustment]Previously, there was a problem in terms of compromise, as it was “runaway” at the Ouka Award. However, in the previous race, Centul S, although the return horse was a little more excited, in the actual race it was the run of the honor student. He calmly advanced in the early stages and showed a yokozuna sumo wrestling that pushed the following in a long-awaited straight line. Moreover, it comes with the bonus of updating the course record. After that, it is adjusted in the stable for the big goal Sprinters S. On the 21st, he warmed up on the slope 15-15, and marked a 4F 49.4 sec (horse) in the slope training on the 24th, which was a week ahead of him. As expected, the last was a slowdown lap of 12.1-12.9, but considering the speed of the overall clock, there is no problem.
[Final chase]The final chase follows the established “success pattern” and is a single wood run with Ikezoe jockey riding. I accumulated as much as I might in the early stages, and made adjustments as usual, accelerating steadily from around the 4th floor. Communication with the main battle was perfect, and at the end I was feeling good and my legs were popping. The fact that I was able to take a course that was almost the same as the last run in the previous run is also a proof that I have grown up.
[Opinion]It seems that the previous race was a kinkin finish, and the actual race was a record-breaking run. As expected, it was a situation where I wanted to wonder if there would be a reaction, but in the middle, Sakaji hit his personal best. Has the owner of unfathomable physical ability reached the realm of perfection? Stable at a very high level.
