I noticed the 5th WBC (World Baseball Classic) will start next week. I'm looking forward to it, but it is difficult to watch the games live unfortunately due to the time difference. Since Amazon Prime is in charge of broadcasting, I will watch them with the chasing playback function. I hope Japan will be the champion since the 2nd WBC.
Regarding horse racing, the retirement ceremony for Fukunaga-san was held in Hanshin Racecourse yesterday. The most impressive thing was Kawada-san, who is famous for his calm and emotionless attitude, shed tears. I was able to realize how Fukunaga-san is respected by everyone. I'm sure that he will produce many competitive horses as a trainer.

I reached the 1200th game in Mahjong-Soul.
As you can see in the table above, I was able to decrease the number of the 4th place in the recent 100 games. As a result, my point was recovered to around 3000pts. The pictures show the comparison between the current status and the past one at the 1100th game. What I would like to focus on is the increase of "和了率" and "副露率". Recently, I realized the importance of doing "副露" proactively and scoring frequently. I was affected by M-league, where the professional players tend to score without "副露". However, the most important thing in Mahjong-Soul is to avoid the 4th place. After the recent 100 games, now I'm feeling like having many chances to score could lead to a low percentage of the 4th place. With this new style, I would like to achieve a promotion to "雀聖3" as soon as possible.
By the way, I'm watching the following YouTube recently.
In this series, the professional player, Shibukawa-san gives many advices to the V-Tuber. He said "You must avoid getting the 4th place as a result of aiming to go up from the 3rd to the 2nd". I was so impressed with this words because I had a similar situation.
In this game, I ignored the 7p from the 4th place player in order to get a higher rank. However, the 4th place player scored afterwards and I was overtaken. Through this experience, I decided to accept the 3rd place always from now on. I will keep it in mind whenever playing Mahjong-Soul.
Prediction
弥生賞ディープインパクト記念（GII、中山、芝2000m）
My favorite : ⑩Gruner Green (Odds : 6th)
・Even though he is a winner of a graded race, his odds is not so low. For example, the lowest-odds horse is ④Top Knife, but ⑩Gruner Green beated this horse in the race mentioned above. From my point of view, there is a gap getween his real strength and his odds. That is why I think it is worth betting on him. In addition, Demuro-san took care of this horse in all of his races. I believe he knows well how to control this horse.
・Besides ⑩Gruner Green, I would like to highly evaluate ②One Direct and ④Top Knife. Regarding the former horse, Lemaire-san maybe selected him even though he was able to select ①Revoltade also. As for the latter horse, needless to say, he got the 2nd place in a GI race which was held in the same course.
・I bought the following TRIFECTA tickets.
Betting ticket
Total : ¥1,000
Total in 2023 : -25,000 (JPY)
Collection rate : 0%
Hitting rate : 0% (0/24)
Ino-meter : Losing 43 race in a row
