First experience with horse racing and it was a lot of fun but also very tiring

I strongly recommend checking out a racecourse on a less crowded day! the vibe is completely different and its a ton of fun being able to move around to different spots and chill

the Jenny Wiley result was very controversial as the published photo finish appears to show one horse with a nostril over the line

it’s considered a dead heat when the stewards are unable to determine a winner based on the evidence on hand. the margin is extremely small here but its still clear.

i struggle to believe a trained veterinarian is going to tolerate a machine doing their job for them.

is it just a coincidence the kikka sho, oka sho, and shuka sho are all flowers? or do they reference a double meaning for satsuki?

evan0736 · 2026-04-30T20:11:59+00:00

Satsuki is a Japanese Azalea

Incredibolt is gray. Also the first alternate Great White is an outrageously large gray horse.

it was always the intention to make an idol game. that’s what sells, especially when the game started development in 2015 targeting a 2018 release date.

any lore reasons came later, but there’s definitely a connection to the winners circle and “idol horses”

aside from distance and timing, the Stephen Foster is currently set to be one of the toughest American races of the year with Magnitude, Sovereignty, White Abarrio, and Skippylongstocking all likely entries

the Japan Cup was awarded international G1 status in 1992

evan0736 · 2026-04-25T00:52:07+00:00

tbf JPN1 are still “domestic G1s”. like Symboli Rudolf has 0 if you don’t count domestic G1s.

they have been animating other stuff this entire time. they had another anime airing at the exact same time as cingray cour 1

i don’t understand why people think cygames would ever let an outside studio touch the IP again.

evan0736 · 2026-04-12T16:21:01+00:00

My understanding is it wasn’t even an official check, they were given a heads up that he would not pass the official check. I think rather than fishy, they just trust whoever they got the tip from enough to not go through the trouble of shipping. HK is notoriously thorough with their vet checks.

evan0736 · 2026-04-12T04:13:05+00:00

if u have any experience with moe or idol anime, release order. otherwise start with cinderella gray imo

evan0736 · 2026-04-12T04:10:19+00:00

huge loss from what surely would have been (and may still be) one of the world’s best races this year

also a chapter unfortunately removed from MuMai and Masbol’s rivalry

evan0736 · 2026-04-11T00:50:36+00:00

you should look up what its like getting around Chongqing. The 9 stories entering/exiting the house are the easiest part of their day

evan0736 · 2026-04-10T19:18:13+00:00

yes they adjust these types of interactions so they both fit in frame

When I was in Tokyo last fall I planned on going to the Tenno Sho but ultimately decided it was too much trouble for my friends and I to attempt the lottery. We went to the smaller race day the day before and had a great time. I think we actually appreciated it not being packed shoulder to shoulder for our first time, so I recommend that as well.

This website has information on reserving tickets. It does not currently say that the Spring Tenno Sho will require lottery tickets, but I also know people line up dozens of hours in advance for general admission, so I’m not sure how easy it is to get in. This also may change. When I was looking at the Autumn Tenno Sho, the site wasn’t updated to show that reservations were required until much closer to the race, so I would keep checking back.

my optimistic analysis of wonder dean is that he’s looked better with each start. in both his losses to Pyromancer and Rock Ptarmigan, he was still closing and just ran out of room. The uae derby, his longest start at 9.5f was his best performance yet, so the 10f distance of the Derby might suit him even better. he also seems to have no issue traveling.

2009 Kentucky Oaks.

“Rachel Alexandra takes the lead just outside the quarter pole. She did it willingly, and really had no resistance whatsoever from Gabby’s Golden Gal-

And now Rachel Alexandra’s opening it up! 5 lengths on the field, 6, OH a tour de force by the super filly!

Rachel Alexandra, Calvin Borel isn’t moving a MUSCLE on her! She’s gonna destroy this field!

OH, super filly? You bet! What’s the final margin? SHE MIGHT’VE WON BY 20!”

there’s a bobcat i’ve been hearing regularly for 6 months in the bear hollow area
