JPN- Nakayama- Arima Kinen (GI) 12/24

[tenfurlongs]

One of two fields during the Japanese racing season where the public selects the participants by voting. Equinox has been retired, and Liberty Island is sitting this one out, but most of the rest of the top horses are taking place (Sharyar, Through Seven Seas, Do Deuce, Tastiera, Deep Bond.) Ryan Moore, Tom Marquand, and Luke Morris all have rides.

Will check the replay in the morning.
1:40am post time for me not probable.

Look at the crowds at the track for this race Christmas Eve. Crowds of this level, SRO, would be rather rare at any US track these days. On any day
