As you already know, I'm earning much money in horse racing recently. This is maybe my first time to keep more than 20,000 JPY as my annual balance. At the same time, I started thinking one thing. That is
"When will I run out of all money?"
In other word, if I continue losing with my current rule (2,000 JPY for GI, 1000 JPY for GII and GIII), when will my money become zero? To answer this question, I checked the schedule of upcoming graded races and calculated how much I need to spend for them. As a result, it turned out that I can keep a plus balance until 2nd July. This means I already achieved making a profit in the first half of 2023. It sounds very nice!!
From today, I put "Expire date" in the end of this blog. If this date becomes 31st Dec., my dream will come true. I hope the expire date will get later and later.
Life in Germany
Dresden
I went to Dresden last week. This city is located in eastern Germany and it took about 6 hours by bullet train (ICE).
I walked around inside the city on the 1st day and went to a famous mountain on the 2nd day. Today, I would like to write about the 1st day.
According to one of my colleagues, Dresden is a new city. Dresden was severely damaged during World War II and most buildings were restored after that. When I arrived at the first destination, I understood what he had meant.
As for this church, not only the appearance but also the interior looked new. Since there were many tourists there, I waited in line for about 15 minutes before entering the church.
After taking the above pictures, I headed to the next famous spot. On the way, I found a large wall painting.
This is one of main attractions in Dresden, but I already passed it before being interested in the detail.
Then, I arrived at the famous square.
Contrary to the first church, this church still looked old. I found many statues standing on the top.
This reminded me of one scene of Hurry Potter, where similar statues start moving after a female teachar says something.
Next, I went to a palace. I had already checked this palace with a sightseeing book in advance and it said there is a beatiful courtyard with many fountains. I was looking forward to seeing it, but unfortunately what I saw there was completely different.
As you can see, it was under construction.
Although I was walking with disappointment after that, a nice view from a bridge and a nice Japanese restaurant I found by chance refreshed me.
That's all about the 1st day. I think the 2nd day was more impressive for me. I will write about it tomorrow.
Prediction
Kyoto Shimbun Hai（GII, Kyoto, T2200m）
My favorite : ⑥Satono Glanz (Odds : 1st)
・The level of this race looks low this year and I can't find a horse which I'm willing to bet on. That is why I decided to rely on the race favorite and Kawada-san. This horse can keep a good position and run fast in a home stretch. I think this style has the highest possibility to win a race in general.
・Besides him, I bet on ③Dotto Kuru and ⑨Maxi. The former horse has an experience of getting the 3rd place in a graded race. The latter one got the 3rd place in his last race, which looks high-level from my point of view. I think these 2 horses are in a good compromise point between odds and strength.
・Based on the above thoughts, I bought the following QUINELLA tickets.
Betting ticket
Total : ¥1,000
Total in 2023 : +25,260 (Expire date : 2nd Jul.)
Collection rate : 145.9%
Hitting rate : 14.3% (7/49)
Ino-meter : Losing 1 race in a row
