My summer vacation has finally started since yesterday. The main activity of this vacation is a travel to the U.K. with other Japanese expats. During this travel, we plan to challenge a casino. Therefore, I would like to keep unlucky in terms of "luck conservation law". In other words, I would rather buy wrong betting tickets for today's horse racing. A today's small unlucky thing means a larger lucky thing next week.
Life in Germany
Preparation for the U.K.
I have already started the preparation for the travel to the U.K. little by little.
・Large backpack
We will arrive at Heathrow airport in the U.K., but I heard that lost baggage often happens at that airport. Therefore, I would like to refrain from using a suitcase and checking in it. Instead, I decided to use a large backpack and carry it on-board. I already bought it last week. Since I didn't have a backpack suitable for a long-term travel, this was a good opportunity.
・Plug converter
The type of plug in the U.K. is different from both Germany and Japan, which means I need to prepare a plug converter. After talking this point with my Irish colleague, he kindly lent me his converter. According to him, the same type is also used in Ireland. I was lucky to have a chance to ask him for it.
The main objective of this travel is to visit some places relating to Harry Potter. In order to enjoy it completely and effectively, I'm watching the movies at the moment. I have already watched the first 4 movies some years ago, but I have never watched the rest. Regarding the first 4 movies, since I already know the story roughly, I tried the original English version. However, it was quite difficult to understand it even though I used English subtitles. I thought Harry Potter is not suitable for English study due to a lot of unique words such as magic or medicine. I only found that Ron often uses the slang "Bloody hell".
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this travel. I will show pictures on this blog or Twitter.
Prediction
小倉記念（GIII、小倉、芝2000m）
My favorite : ⑭Catedral (6th favorite)
・I have already included this horse in my betting some times. Based on the results of the past few years, horses which can run fast in a final straight are more likely to get a high rank and he satisfies this condition. In terms of jockeys, Mr. Danno rode him for the first time in the last race and got the 2nd place. This combination looks good.
・For a similar reason, I also would like to bet ④Geraldina.
・I bought a quinella ticket consisting of the above 2 horses.
Betting ticket
Total : ￥1,000
関屋記念（GIII、新潟、芝1600m）
My favorite : ⑤Ria Amelia (7th favorite)
・When she was young, she attracted attention as a promising horse. However, she was not able to show such a good performance as expected. Her result was bad last year, too. Nevertheless, she got the 4th place in the first race this year and showed a sign of revival. This situation often happens for Deep Impact's children. I hope she will run well again in this race.
・Besides her, I'm interested in ④Zadar because he doesn't gather votes despite his win in January this year. I don't want to miss this chance to get much money via him.
・My main betting ticket is a win type of ⑤Ria Amelia. In addition, I bought a quinella one and a quinella place one consisting the above 2 horses.
