TWO-YEAR-OLD MAIDEN
KYOTO
TURF1800
Yusuke Fujioka
He jumped out the gate quick, so he was pushed out to be front. He settled down going upside with another horse in his inside. He quickened up in the straight but horses came from behind passed him and held 3rd place. It was fast pace earlier and advantage for horses come from behind. It wasn’t his day.

KYOTO
DIRT1900
Yuga Kawada
He was the 3rd favourite in the race. Even though it was the first time running on Dirt surface for him.
He broke well but took time to get into his stride, because he is such a big horse.
He travelled well and didn’t look like the first try on dirt. He was on bridle coming into the staight.
He was pushed and got clear the field. He won conforably and impressive.
I guess he blossomed on Dirt surface.

TWO-YEAR-OLD NEWCOMER
KYOTO
DIRT1400
Yasunari Iwata
He was the favourite in this Newcomers Race.
He had plenty of speed and brave enough to go to the front. It looked like he had a safety margin in the straight.
But his concentration didn’t last till the finishing line. He just got caught in last 10m.
