I heard a bad news last week.
Yahoo Japan is my main Internet search engine.
I always check news via Yahoo Japan on both my laptop and iPhone.
After this operation is effective, I can still access Yahoo Japan if I use a VPN connection.
However, I don't want to make an additional effort to use it every time.
That is why I have to find another search engine suitable for my homepage.
If you know any other ways, please let me know.
Regarding horse racing, I had a good start in 2022, but the total in January was eventually minus.
It is difficult to keep "Shaba" for a long time.
I have to go back there as soon as possible.
By the way, Lemaire-san's condition is so bad.
He has never been within Top 3 in January even though his horses were popular.
I could notice his bad condition in the early stage and completely avoid betting him.
I can say that this strategy was successful.
I will continue it for a while.
Life in Germany
Alternative to Eho-maki
Japan has a culture called "Setsu-bun" on 3rd February.
On that day, some Japanese people eat Eho-maki forward a fortunate direction silently.
When I lived in Japan, I tried this custom every year.
Eho-maki is a kind of maki-zushi, but I can't get it here in Germany.
After all, I ate tortilla instead of Eho-maki.
We generally make a wish while eating Eho-maki.
Of course, my wish is to get back much money from JRA!
Prediction
きさらぎ賞（GIII、中京、芝2000m）
Favorite : ③Dante’s View (1st popular)
・The main reason why I selected this horse as my favorite is that he has good race experiences. He ran in 東スポ杯2歳S (GIII), which is said to be high-level. Moreover, he won in Chukyo Turf 2000m, which is the same course as this race.
・As for a jockey, I think that Kawada-san is now the most reliable jockey.
・This horse is produced by Northern firm and such a horse tends to get a higher rank in this race. In terms of the producer, ⑦Foursquare and ⑧Serket are also produced by Northern firm. I prefer ⑦Foursquare among them because the jockey of ⑧Serket has never won in a graded race.
・In conclusion, I bought a quinella place ticket composed of ③Dante’s View and ⑦Foursquare.
Betting ticket
Total : ￥1,000
東京新聞杯（GIII、東京、芝1600m）
Favorite : ⑭Catedral (6th popular)
・I selected this horse as my favorite in his last race, マイルCS (GI). His rank was unfortunately 9th at that time, but the cause of this defeat is clearly a delay start. Even though he had this mistake, the time difference between the winner (Gran Alegria) and him was not so large (0.6s). I want to believe his potential one more time.
・It is good that he got the 2nd place in this race last year.
・I bought a win ticket and some quinella tickets relating to ⑭Catedral. For the quinella tickets, more popular horses were selected except for Lemaire-san.
