A surprising thing happened in Tokyo Racecourse yesterday.
In the 12 race, after the main race, the 16th popular horse achieved giant-killing.
She was the least popular horse and her odds for the win ticket was 549.4 times!
This was the 3rd highest dividend in the history of JRA.
By the way, the 2nd place was the 5th popular horse and the 3rd place was the 12th popular horse, which meant that the dividend of trifecta ticket was ¥14,600,040!
Horse racing gives us a dream.
Life in Germany
iPad
I finally purchased iPad in Germany.
I tried to buy it when I went back to Japan, but I couldn't because it was out of stock.
The main reason why I want iPad is that Mahjong-soul can be played in a larger screen than iPhone.
It is possible to use my laptop, but it is slow recently and there is a concern that other players can guess my situation from a click sound when playing it with my friends.
In addition, I wanted a portable device to see a movie like YouTube and AbemaTV because my room is large now and it is not easy to carry my laptop every time.
By the way, in Germany, iPad costs €379, which is around ¥50,000.
If I buy it in Japan, it costs around ¥40,000.
This difference comes from a tax.
That is why I recommend that you buy Apple products in Japan if you live in Europe.
Anyway, I hope that iPad will make my life more comfortable.
Prediction
京都記念(GII、阪神、芝2200m)
Favorite : ②Maria Elena (5th popular)
・Most of the horses in this race are likely to run in a rear position. On the other hand, ②Maria Elena often ran in a front position and I expect that she will be able to get a good position easily.
・I would like to stress that she got the 2nd place with a little bit difference in the last race, 愛知杯 (GIII), where horses which came from a rear position were advantageous.
・I simply bought the win ticket of ②Maria Elena.
・My only concern is that ②Maria Elena is also Soshina's favorite...
Betting ticket
Total : ¥1,000
共同通信杯(GIII、東京、芝1800m)
Favorite : ②Asahi (2nd popular)
・It is a good point that he got the 2nd place in 東スポ杯2歳S (GIII) because the horses which took part in that race ran well in some graded races after that.
・He has already run in this course 3 times even though the total number of races which he participated in is 4. I think that this experience will make him relaxed.
・⑤Geoglyph also looks strong, but I'm worried about his heavier handicap and Lemaire-san's condition.
・In conclusion, I decided to buy trifecta tickets, where ②Asahi is in the 1st place and ⑤Geoglyph is in the 2nd or 3rd place. In addition to them, I selected 3 horses (⑧⑩⑪) for the other place in my trifecta tickets.
