what the fuck...

Fat Miracle looking fatter than usual.

/uma//jp/

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>538950580
The zoom would have been perfect for this invalid crashout.

>>538950580
Reminder that this whole issue started because Orfe (hors) sent a part of his soul/memory back to warn IKZE without any context. So technically this was Orfe on Orfe violence.

Oh nyooooo...

Lesbian uma sex

I would gladly have sex with King Kamehameha, yes.

Lesbian umas are simply (more) harem-compatible umas.

don't even care about losing a race, i respect the shit out of this torena

oh nyo wrong thread

>>538952770
kino

I guess I should start by saying that I am in love with Curren Chan. I have considered whether it could be that I have a need for companionship etc, but this isn't the case. I am quite a giving person, and do a lot for my teammates, but with this girl I would do anything for her. I feel my heart beat faster when I see her and I seem to be blind to her flaws. I know she isn't perfect, and I haven't put her up on a pedestal or built a false image of her, but I feel that she is perfect for me. Curren is aware of how I feel, and that I have never felt this strongly before about anyone, but thinks of me only as a friend.
The problem is that I can't distance myself from her, and I'm not sure I'd want to have to lose our close relationship in order to stop feeling this way. It is probably important to mention that we take almost all of the same classes at Tracen Academy, live in the same dorm and do most of our training together, so I would estimate that I spend at least 6 hours a day with her. On many occasions we have even just talked for more than 6 hours straight on umastagram! (Which I can't do even with Yasunari-san, despite having an extremely close relationship with him). At the moment I'm trying to stop feeling this way without sacrificing any of our relationship, but I'm failing miserably. Our relationship is still intact but I don't feel remotely different about her. I don't know what to do...
I've not seen her in 2 weeks because I'm on vacation in Hong Kong, and when I get back next week she'll be away - so I won't have seen her for a month. The problem is these past 2 weeks, although I've met loads of great people (and one or two sprinters who are definitely interested in having some fun), I can't think about anyone but her. I find myself rejecting people simply because they don't make me feel the way this girl does when I'm with her. How long will it take before I stop feeling this way and just man up and get over her?

>>538954850
Lord Kanaloa please...

First time seeing that pasta.
>uma pov
Get off umachannel and find yourself a trainer, bitch.

>>538954850
Made me choke on my drink. Fuck you.

>>538954850
I thought curren was brought along during the hong kong trip irl

Aston Machan or Rhein Kraft?

>>538956381
Oh shit she was. Uh just think it's 2013 or something.

Now even the Irish floods their track to prevent JP from winning...

>>538952770
What in the fuck is this.

The latest Cinderella Grey chapter was amazing. I don't want the manga to end.

>>538957823
The nips should really do some slushy turf mock races at this point, at least to prepare for Europe.

>>538961390
Probably easier to just send the hors off to run in Europe for a year and prep for the big race.

>>538952770
オホ声 in my umamusume?!

>>538954850
>t.

>>538952770
They may have shifted to still pics rather than 3D, but I enjoy that they're still keeping to the silliness. I hope they do this with other umas.

The mares...

Four hours until Our Boy's race.

>>538922914
>another story where some uma's parent is a cunt
Man I remember Groove's dad ditching her mom and Kingu's mom literally being one

What is the case for Espoir's? I know she take care of her mom but that's just it.

>>538930287
if it's too keep down shit like gore, retarded futa (horse cock) and the like. I would be fine. But honestly I still wish for good umamusume lewds.

its the same feeling i got back in february

SHIN EMPEROR NIIBAN NINKI

>>538964903
What's the feeling you got back in february

>>538964317
Espoir's dad is an accomplished dirt trainer and Espoir trained with him since she was young, but he was constantly yelling at her telling her that she was weak and calling her an idiot for refusing to admit that. It's why Espoir didn't want to run on dirt at first.
He's still better than Kingu's mom because it wasn't done out of malice, he's just a very brash person and he was training her the only way he knew how. In his experience, a hors that doesn't face their own weakness and conquer it early on will risk facing further complication later on in their career and possibly even serious injuries. He, like Espoir, was just too stubborn and short-tempered to explain this to her properly and resorted to just constantly yelling at her instead.

>>538967576
wow that explain her attidute. Also he seems to be one of those old-school dudes...

sadly he was right, but his approach is too much of an ass.

>https://youtu.be/ZSXKOolnog8?t=9m42s
Huh, so the scene where a piece of rock hit opera was not alluding to the injury in gate but the iron chipping away from front uma's horseshoe. First time seeing this info though, wonder if the guy's just misremembering it.

>>538970708
I hope to see my Childhood friend this month...

When is Croix' race?

>>538971871
tomorrow

Ah okay I thought I missed it when I saw Irish Champion Stakes was already up soon.

umariokart?

https://x.com/JayRAye02/status/1966756499901874338
Hard to believe the 4th V sister by Kitasan just lost against Satono Diamond's colt called All Nut

>>538974836
Not much you can do when Moreira's there. I had no idea he was back already, I thought he was just going to show up for Sprinters Stakes.

This is netkeiba's link, not sure if you guys can use it outside of Japan.

any idea what's that patch of turf-less ground in the start of the track?

>>538978858
For which track?

>>538980342
Leopardstown track just now during the fillies race

>>538980484
Oh, this thing? It's probably the road/maintenance path. There's usually a set path for when a car need to get into the inner course.

SOON
You guys think Yahagi and Fujita will pull Shin out if he flop here?

>>538977246
>>538977641
Tact is perfect, it is just her thighs and ass were valued more.

horse otaku, please enlighten me. why did they implement this character?
Samson Big is genuine a do nothing horse.. even other losers like Royce and Royce were racing against named umamusume..

hell Samson is so unknown that they dont even know what happens after the horse career is over.

whats the lore here?

>>538982535
Uma takes a lot of influence from 馬なり1ハロン劇場 and Samson BIG is Brian's best friend there because they were the only two that ran all the classic races that year. Also Brian doesn't really have any friend in the school right now outside of Amanee-san.

>>538982535
they got the rights to Rainbow Dahlia and then realized that her owner also owned samson big, so they decided to throw her in star blossom

>>538981924
Understandable.

about to start

Our boy on the scene.

>>538978475
Damn doesn't work in my country

I heard the commentator said that there's a pacerunner. Anyone caught which hors it was?

>>538984864
The other obrien horse, Kilimanjaro

No chance for Shin Emperor...

JOBBED

Shin Jobber...

Bugger. That was rough for Shin. Was it the ground, then?

That was an insanely bad rides

>>538985609
Whenever Shin's counted out (like 7th fav in JC) he does well and when there's much expectations he jobs. niiban stinki cursed him

The start was good but felt like he was struggling for the entire race after

first time my hors is being used this much

>>538985730
Wasn't he niban ninki this time? In any case, I can't even blame it on Ryusei since Shin clearly couldn't keep the pace with everyone around him. He had a good start, even managing to get in front of Kilimanjaro, but then he fell to second and then barely held on to third the entire race. I hope he's not injured or anything.

>>538985960
Yeah he was niban this time along a wet soft ground I didn't expect him to do well. But damn last is rough...

Croix's team can sleep peacefully tonight knowing they have a comrade, in case they job tomorrow

Make sure to do your daily pulls!

>>538986316
Oh shid wrong thread!

>>538986260
Wait, Croix's running tomorrow?

>>538985960
O'brien playing dirty as usual with sacrificial pacer and Sakai being dumb didn't even let Shin to try fighting the lead when he clearly needs it

why the random ass gravel(or dirt) patch?

>>538986778
It's a road to the inside of the course. Seems like they use it as parking space.

>>538986653
Tomorrow 2.30 frog time
>>538986758
Yeah, he should have kept that momentary lead early in the race and be a niger instead of falling back into place again. Wonder what happened there

>>538986758
Thing is, I'm not sure if it's a case of Sakai just letting Shin fall back or if it's Shin being unable to keep up the speed. I'm incline to believe it's the latter since he couldn't even finish in the top 5.

>>538985705
How was it Sakai's fault? The horse just ran like shit

>>538987205
It's the same thing happened in DSC, didn't let the horse fighting its own race and immediately kills the momentum required for late race

Someone's knocking on my door.

>>538977641

>>538988471
You heard me.

>>538982535
added for the laurel manga, only horse to run the entire triple crown with narita brian except nearly trailing in last each time so they say he achieved the "reverse triple crown". similar existence as haru urara but never had the same fad status and it's unknown when he died.

https://youtu.be/Z5uE1qnYgKo
Fuckin A, never realized I needed this.
Hope this one doesn't get nuked like the last guy.

>>538982535
>>538982991
>>538990736
I need to roll Samson BIG for cute moments with her and Buchan, I want to see Samson's disbelief when I guide her through the triple crown

>>538982535
Samson was called the Reverse Triple Crown because he was the ONLY horse to participate in all three of 1994's Classics with Brian and always placed last/near to last place. Plus there was a manga about Samson and Brian being BFFs. She is pretty much Brian's exclusive Urara.

Does Legend Teio have any surviving descendants?

>>538995307
I wonder if they'll acknowledge his disappearance somehow.

Tact here at the Outdoor Horses UmaTube channel and I'm here with my hus- Trainer and we're deep in the Hidaka Mountains. We're going to catch massive bears and hunting Ezo deer. We're gonna cook up good food and have an amazing time

>>538999601
a quick look shows he kept racing for a few more years after classics so I could easily see that part being skipped over

>while we wait for the fresh catch to cook, let's get these out on a tray.
>NICE!

>>539000390
he ended up going to steeplechase in the end

>>539000443
Not really a fan of this design.

>>538996259
How long was the delay for Transcend and Calstone? I could've sworn they were shorter Dream Journey's.

>>539008454
I think Transcend was two weeks after her reveal during the 3rd anniversary, and Calstone was announced the same pakalive as Dorija, but Dorija is still the shortest.

>>539007530
This, but with all fan designs

my hero just released her card, gonna have fun tonight

>>539009021
Nah, some Dodos are good. Nox is cursed to have some really strange design choices in all of them. They try to hard.

>>539010085
My wife...

Do you guys buy skills at the end of the run when fan farming?

>>539011532
no, it's a waste of time

is umasampo permanent

Looks like future Tact and future Torena were getting frisky in the hot springs.

Is Shin Emperor still heading to the Arc after that performance? Not sure whether Arc also has a purse quota since I don't think Shin has won much this year.

Just piggied out and grabbed the 新人トレーナー support ticket, who should I get? This is my roster.

LUBE SEX

>>539017024
does it have chrono? if so then her

>>539017024
>Vivlos
You're obligated to get her sisters

>>539022394
It does. Chrono over Gentildonna?

>>539022973
pick with your ninjin, you won't regret it either way

What does a horse trainer do IRL? Like, on a scale of
>football handegg coach (only needs to know Xs and Os, the rest is handled by GM and other staffs)
to
>football divegrass manager (handles pretty much everything from main squad to scouting and academy)
How much is a trainer's responsibility?

>>539024917
>>football divegrass manager (handles pretty much everything from main squad to scouting and academy)
This.

>>539026409
That's a lot of pressure for a million yen investment.

>>539026409
That much? How many horses does a trainer manage per stable usually?

speaking of handegg and divegrass, what was the slang term for baseball again?

wat do

>>539027381
To be fair, a trainer would usually also have staff to help them, that's why you have sub-trainer(s) and groom(s). But everything from scouting (well, advising since they can only point out good hors to owner or buy babby hors in their place), housing (making arrangements for where the hors will rest when not training), training (coming up with training menu and researching courses/opponents), and paperwork (signing up for races, overseas expedition, etc) and sometimes even the smaller aspects like cleaning the stable or hors. Naturally this varies between trainer to trainer, some owner might take a more active hand in their hors' career, other trainer might just leave everything to the jockey and sub-trainer.
>>539027536
Five and a half million yen based on latest data. But you have to remember that the salary can varied wildly between trainers, since a majority of their income comes from what hors owners are paying them and their share from winning races.

>>539033078
Luckswing, I think?

Should I burn my crystal shards now or wait for the card rework update?
I still don't really understand how the new system will work.

>>539033078
luckswing, like the other dude said

>>539038331
In the new system you will exchange crystals for tickets that have every SSR you own listed in it. There's no functional change from the way it is now so there's no rush. The only deadline is for if you want to convert unused dupes into cleats because after the update they will be automatically applied.

>>539023327
I'll ticket Chrono next time.

>>539033140
You're totally crippled right now if you don't have any of the meta speed cards, you'll need Ai-chan or more than anything atm

>>539014296
what the hell...

>>539033869
>>539039424
ah

>>539040435
Oh I meant like the actual support card change, not the shard exchange. I just know that they won't lock a card's special ability behind level anymore.
>>539033140
Like the other anon said, you can't do much without a good speed card. Do you have some crystal shards to MLB her?

>>539042464
I've only got one. I'm probably gonna pick her anyway regardless.

>>539040435
>because after the update they will be automatically applied.
i think they announced recently that they won't make it automatic

>>539043069
Aye, they did. Now you can horde your wife's cards to the end of time.

I still like this person's art style for the most part, but I'm a bit miffed that he started giving every character he draws an unnecessary six pack ever since global released.

>>539043680
>Sex pack
>Unnecessary
Ok fagtron.

>>539043069
It's still automatic what was changed is that surplus dupes aren't going to be automatically burned anymore. I'm referring to burning copies of cards you can still use to LB.

>>539044234
oh yeah checked it again, you are right
>最大性能解放済み」のサポートカードの蹄鉄変換を自動で行わないようにいたします。※同名のサポートカード入手時の性能解放は自動で行われます。

Really not sure what to think of Shin Emperor now, I'll just treat him like a wildcard with good chances to hit podium when he's below 6th favs

I wish Tange Sakura would sing Menishuki...

Why are her armpits speaking?

>>539045569
yours don't?

Why are they holding off Buena for so long

ouuuuuhhhhh marebutts and maresmell

>>539045535
Is that a new Sakura.

>>539045135
I'm just gonna write it off to the field condition. He's fucked if the frogs water Longchamp again.

>>539046560
Of all the retro memes to resurface, I was not expecting the 10 year bazooka throwback.

>>539048856
Quite old, actually…

This must be the work of Golfgom!

Even Yahagi was confused

>>539053053
What does sex with a creature feel like?

Drive being the face of keiba beginners will always make me smile.

>>539054345
It's weird. He had more time to get used to the ground and course, he grew a lot, Ryusei got more experience, Yahagi had local help, and he was nearly dead last.

>>539054514
Funny, especially when Gaim, the rider show with actual horses, is right there. But I get it, Ryoma Takeuchi is Japan's National Boyfriend.

He's just saving his energy

Man, why does the Kamen Rider with the coolest concept (sengoku warlords) have to be paired up with fucking fruits of all things. I hate the Kamen Rider word randomizer.

Great birdview of the race, Delacroix had an excellent travel while Shin really feels unfocused with how much He's bumping around

>>539055636
>>539056036
they only ride horse in the opening

>>539056215
Speaking of Delacroix, looks like he will not participate in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

>Delacroix, the winner of the Irish Champion Stakes, will not be running in the 2025 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The decision came after the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt secured an automatic berth into the Breeders' Cup Turf following his victory at Leopardstown on September 13. The connections have opted to focus on the Breeders' Cup instead of the more challenging, longer-distance Arc

I regret rolling for Seiun Sky so much

>>539057630
Interesting that two of EU's best 3yos are aiming for BC Turf instead of Arc

>The connections have opted to focus on the Breeders' Cup instead of the more challenging, longer-distance Arc
But they're both 2400m races??

>>539058032
Can you blame them when winning, or even placing good in BC gives more stud value nowadays?
>But they're both 2400m races??
probably taking the track condition into account + europeans talking

If tomorrow's race ruins Croix's career for the rest of this year, I'm gonna lose it.

>>539058335
today actually. In 7 hours

>>539058335
I'll just laugh, because FUCK kitasan and FUCK sunday racing

>>539058525
>because FUCK kitasan
gladly

>>539057630
Not a surprise, O'Brien usually play it safe to up the stud value. It was a miracle that Augustus Rodan got to run the Japan Cup.

>>539058335
>flop the arc

>Can you blame them when winning, or even placing good in BC gives more stud value nowadays?
lmao.
that article says they just want to participate in a race they can win more likely.
lmao.
that article says they just want to participate in a race they can win more likely.
european breeders just think american turf horses aren't that good.

>>539059348
They're not wrong.

>>539059348
True, in BCT their biggest contenders are fellow European raiders (Godolphin) and few JP mobs

>>539060082
Punished Gimlet.

>>539015497
Good stuff.

The positionin was good , Sakai wanted to chase Delacroix but like he said shin did not respond, nothing like he accelerated but couldn't reach he said he didn't respond

>>539015497
we need to find this bazooka wielding bastard and bring them to justice
they've done too much damage

And now O'Brien retires Delacroix

>>539060472
You can't stop me motherfucker. I'll shoot your wife next and you can see how many kids you had with her.

>>539060317
Oh now that's really weird, maybe he was distracted through whole race?

>>539060870
didn't the same thing happen to decile?

>>539061101
Decile was really distracted and kinda restless, nothing like shin
Like yahagi said we just don't know what happened

>>539061363
We need to put your ass behind bars

so are we just looking at a kamunyak sweep tonight or

>>539061548
Probably. She's ichiban stinky at 3.5. Surprised it's not higher when she's a G1 winner.

>>539059754
anyways I hope in this year's BCT, american breeders will prove that idea is wrong.

>>539061775

No, enjoy your train crossing.

I had a dream where cygames released Panthalassa and I played through the whole campaign, by the end I was crying over nigers and yelling at Pan to beat Nox. This game is ruining my brain.

>>539065509
Hey do you still remember?

>>539065692
What if we misinterpreted the song and it was actually about Spe or some or hors instead?

>>539069108

So Moreira tried to break to the outside at the 4th corner (at 01:17) and crashed into Teresa who then push Kamunyaku, almost causing Kawada to fall off her.
That explains why it was such a close race for Kamunyaku, then. You can see Kawada yelling at Moreira at the end too.

WOOOOOOON! that was nerve-wracking

IT'S COMING HOME

Waaaaaay too close, He almost got nosed

So will Japan finally won gaisenmonsho this year?
is the track wet?

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOMGOGMOGMOGMOMGOGMOGMOGM

Going to be a pretty entertaining week leading up to l'arc

FROM THE INNER CAMERA
CLEAN FINISH

Holy shit that was damn close

>>539086136
It was really soft. He won but that performance won't cut it for the Arc. Hopefully he gets more used to the turf or it dries up like with Byrantine's race.

Holy shit. That was so close.

He won but that wasn't convincing

Anyone speak French? Why do they keep bringing up Lememe?
And man, Desk-kun looks fucking exhausted. He still have half a month to train with Croix, but goddamn, it's going to be a hell of a race.

>>539086321
I figure' so.
Aventure & Gezora is the main threat on Arc, those frog fillies loves swampy Longchamp track.

Longchamp's going to be a river by the Arc.

>>539086321
>>539086574
I'll just assume (cope) that's the handicap doing its work, Croix's carrying 58kg just like the older horses

I hope Croix's spurt on the final straight can be something substantial

>l'Arc trending
They're inhaling hopium at MAX level

I don’t want to get my hopes too high, because last time Deep Bond won his prep races, it ended badly for him and he ended up at the bottom… But maybe some Japanese horse can place in the top 3–5. Alohi & Croix might do well, I think.

>>539087551
Hm, nyes.

The race was full of bums and it was this close. Croix is going to have to show a hell of a lot more than this. Haven't followed the french honses much but doesn't seem like the field at arc is that strong. If they had a hons like Ace Impact or Treve running Croix would have no chance

>>539087551
stop being an UNBELIEVER and ride the BIG WAVE!!

>>539087881
It's the fillies, they're the biggest threat

>>539087551
the Frogs’ ohimba will teach the Elevens a lesson at the L’Arc
>>539087881
the fillies that races in Prix Vermeille is legit threat.

>>539088041
I saw Aventure was ichiban ninki, but idk how good she actually is. Kalpana jobbed already, but obviously could still deliver a stellar performance at the Arc.

Nyooo, not the ohimbas...

>>539087551
>Shin Emperor jobbed
>it's so over
>Croix Du Nord won (barely)
>we're so back

>>539087551
wouldn't have it any other way
pride goeth before the fall

>>539088186
she won the Prix Vermeille, a G1 race at Longchamp last week. she’s got a great record on bogged frog turf, and iirc the trainer said she LOVES it when the track gets soft, take that as you will. Also, her rival Gezora is just as much of a threat. though there’s a wild card with Minnie Hauk, since O’Brien’s been hyping her up, so who knows

So blue genes are pretty much useless at this point, right?

>>539089008
Useless for Shin Emperor yes

>>539089063
Rude.

Who else is on the JP team besides Croix and Shin again?

>>539089249

>>539088186
>I saw Aventure was ichiban ninki, but idk how good she actually is
She was 2nd on last year's Arc and its prep behind Bluestocking

Hmmm, checked the L’Arc hashtag in jp twitter, there’s overwhelming hopium, but there are also a lot of people being pessimistic. What I noticed is that most of the pessimists are veteran keibafags (they also brought up Aventure being a threat as well). Interesting.
Also kinda funny seeing a bunch of nip tweets begging the frogs not to water the track, so their horses can win, lol. they know they don't stand a chance if the track is fucking wet kek

>>539089513

>>539089781
You don't understand, this is the very first time ever they have three horses win their prep race overseas. This time they'll win for sure

>>539089934
Of all three preps only Byzantine's has a meaningful field to benchmark off

Here we go again

>>539089754
>What I noticed is that most of the pessimists are veteran keibafags
There’s only so much hopium a person can take...

>>539089934

only in france, for two days from now. would have been disqualified if he used the whip two more times I think. already found his whipping it a bit odd watching it live, combined with croix stumbling a bit when whipped. the pressure probably got to him.

nyoooooo...

Do I get to see more of Mayano in future JP updates or is the game one of those revolving door gachas where characters get permanently shelved after their time on the spotlight is done?

>>539145085
it takes a while and the distribution is not even but umas usually tend to come back in story events at some point, last year's Halloween was one of those times for Brian and Maya and Maya actually got her second alt in this one

>>539145587
A 3 year wait to see a character again seems a bit long...

Wish they added content for old characters more often, I miss the old gachas were the casts were smaller and characters got more screentime.

>>539146232
I could see that point for most other gacha but in this case it's counterintuitively better to keep growing the cast since it means filling in gaps in uma groups who raced one another or otherwise have some connection. One big case in point is Golshi's own career story vs career stories of umas who came out much later and raced with Golshi, nowadays there are so many more umas from that time that can bounce off one another and make those uma stories much more lively and interesting. Which reminds me that new career stories are another opportunity for umas from longer ago to appear again and this time have a more interesting group to interact with than they did before

don't forget that there's more races tonight because of the nip holiday

>>539146232

Cute creature.

>>539147010
I need Gakumas cast to expand because I want to raise my dumb wife Nadeshiko.

The main issue is whether the japanese can keep up with Arc challengers. they have to race against local frogs horses that are comfortable running in longchamp, plus other strong European horses. JP can win as many G2/G3 races on european tracks as they want, but if they can’t keep up with the best yuro horses, it’s useless.

>>539154360
Stego’s bloodline feels like a cheat code for the Arc, and it makes me wonder why the japs don’t send more of Stego’s grandkids to race there. You’d think with Dorija spawn, T7S getting 4th place they’d realize that. i have trust in Alohi, but I wonder if Dura bloodline can really handle Longchamp’s wet track, though the combination of his damsire does look interesting.
>>539156843
I’d say it’s 50–50. there are a lot of doubters and a lot of hopefag, but the hopium narrative is too strong since JP normies eat it up so it override any doomposting at Xitter.
I’ll just pray Croix doesn’t end up like Makahiki, only won Derby & 1 frogs G2, and jobbing everywhere....

It's because IKZE wasn't there with him. The local jockey didn't know that he had a habit of slowing down if he thinks he already won.

>>539164178
Orfe got second in the Hanshin Daishoten and flopped bad in HaruTen, so his connection opt to drop IKZE and go with a local jockey who had more experience riding in France and Longchamp instead.
Mind you, they got Soumillon who was probably the best French jockey at the time so they had no reason to worry. They just forgot how hard Orfe is to ride.

It's the weight, Croix was over 500kg and almost lost his prep, while Byantine Dream was under 470kg and had a convincing win. Longchamp really favor lighter JP horses

>>539166174
You just know it'll be the driest season in France if that happens. Remember what happened when they sent a literal who to run the Arc only for the ground to be completely dry and the hors had a great time?

>>539160092
I'm still mad they didn't even try to send Sol to Arc, He's a mud lover and has the right weight as well

>>539166612
>We'll never get "あ、やべぇ" panicked Orfe because it doesn't fit with her current design

>>539166174
I remember I read some post or article (I believe it's from Yahagi, cmiiw), basically yurop hors running style is similar like dirt hors.
and funniest coincidence is that those JP hors that perform well in Arc (El & orfe) are excellent dirt sire.
nips ALMOST unlock the key but they never tried this somehow (their cope was because their dirt horse is shit & longchamp is turf, which not true when they never tried it).
especially a lot of yuro horse has american dirt horse pedigree

And it's only been, what, four years since he started his hors ownership journey? I hope it happens.

>>539168587
You will never be a classic winner

Anyone know what happened to Sol de Mayo during Nakayama 3rd race? He had to stop running at the final corner and got on the truck out of the course, so I'm worried if he's injured or something. He's a Duradpawn so I hope it's nothing serious.

>>539166652
and it was during Equinox active years too. imagine if Silk were brave enough to send Equinox to the L'arc at that time...

>>539167558
How much does it cost them to send hors to Arc anyways? With how obsessed they are over the Arc, you'd think they'd try all possible strategies conceivable to man, but they're just brute forcing their participation by doing almost the same thing over and over. Are they just waiting and hoping for a year with a weak field from the baguettes or what.

>>539178729
YAMATO DAMASHII

Hey dachis, divegrass manager here. Been a while, but we finally have some updates. We'll have VGL Friendlies soon, no dates yet but expect them in a few weeks. As always, I need you to pick up to 3 teams, you can see the active ones here https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//vg/_League /ink/, /akg/ and /pcrg/ are banned for this round since we just played against them.
Also, there's a chance New Thread Cup will happen if there is enough interest. I can't enter it myself, but if you(yes, I'm talking to (You)) are interested in helping the team out and wanted to try your hand at managing - well, now is your chance!

>>539178729
we literally had this discussion last thread, it's because training solely for europe means missing out on training for the more juicier turfs at home and the middle east and literally anywhere else than europe. No one's ready to do that for the meme l'arc

>>539179094
>kamikazes into the arc every year
Sounds about right

>>539179635
DEEPU IMPACKUTO BANZAI

>>539179475
With Arc being such a meme for the elevens. What other, better fitting, equally prestigious (or even more) international G1 race do you guys think they should be going crazy over instead of the Arc? Before delving into keiba I thought they'd try for the American races more but that doesn't seem to be the case?

>>539179304
How are /uma/ and /umajp/ being treated in the VGL? I mean, if the team is handed over to the EN version general, wouldn't that make all JP-only players in the roster kinda sorta ineligible?

>>539180156
Breeder's cup and middle-east G1s obviously. I personally consider BC turf the pinnacle of turf racing at present, the position that was occupied by arc 2 decades ago.

>>539180156
They've been trying to invade US races more and more in recent years, it's just that the US main focus is on dirt races while Japan focuses on turf, so they don't have that many hors that can go up against the best the burgers has to offer.

>>539178729
>With how obsessed they are over the Arc, you'd think they'd try all possible strategies conceivable to man
due to legal issues, there's not much they can do.
they need to return home withing 60 days.
the case of El Condor Pasa is the only exception, the owner was willing to give up on every single domestic race and to spend a million dollars on trying L'Arc.

>>539180250
As far as I'm concerned we're both the same team for now. If someone decides to split them, well, I'll just stick to jp. But I think it'll be like /gflex/ where someone would try and fail miserably when they realize their split is ass with no culture on its own.

>>539180313
>I personally consider BC turf the pinnacle of turf racing at present
What makes you say that? I know British/Irish races are in a dire straits right now with them struggling to find enough hors for a full field even in a grade one race, but the best turf horses are still from those two countries.

>>539181034
we are talking about the race and not the horses so the horse's nationality doesn't matter. Anyway just look at the horses fielded in BC turf for the last few years and compare them against the field in other cups that could be considered competition. Sheema comes close in both the international diversity and the horse quality, but I just find the track bland for some reason

>>539179304
fgog or alter would be kinda amusing. This is a negative vote though, unless someone else agrees and thinks we should face off.
>>539180790
This. They don't seem all that interested in making a team anyways.

>>539181418
When it cones to Dubai Sheema, we've already seen a lot of Japanese race horses win that so I guess it wouldn't be as spicy anymore for the nips. Speaking of, it still makes me curious how Gentildonna (a Sheema winner) would've performed in the Arc in some other timeline. She did defeat an Arc competitor (Orfe) and also a winner (Solemia).

>>539181034
Thanks to Burger turf horses being shit, BC Turf actually serves as a more fair and balanced fighting ground for international races just like Dubai Sheema Classics. Unlike Arc with huge european bias

>>539181665
I'm not saving that to my Top Loaf archive.

How did burger horse racing become so dirt focused anyway? Their first track was turf only, and their early sires from Canada or the UK where it was mainly turf.
It's not like they started in the west coast where it'd be expensive to keep healthy turf.

>>539183354
cheaper.
american racing is all about the cash at the end of the day

>>539182626
it's funnier when an eu turf horse gets sent to job in the BC classic instead though

>>539182626
Arguably the same could be said about the HK Vase (and HK is even closer to Japan in distance compared to Meydan), but European horses still win more frequently

Flaming Hoop, a Heart's Cry spawn under Kaneko's colour, won the Pui Memorial Cup with Moreira. Someone needs to stop this Br monster.

>>539183962
>possibly returning to HK for a Oct-Dec short-term license
There's your answer :^)

>>539183575
I understand it, but a race in a rice field is never a pleasant sight.

>>539181926
If Shin Emperor is Ryusei's wife, then what's Forever Young's role in the team? Trainer's childhood friend/bro?

>>539184120
Nyoooo... He's going to steal all the big races.

>>539184396
I like the look of it, personally. Something about 'Murican grit.
But it's pretty shitty on the racers, yeah.

>>539184774
Dunno? He's supposed to be Caspar Fownes's main rider this time, but since Caspar doesn't have contestants in the HKIR Moreira's up for grabs.

Zac and KYR had the Sprint practically locked down, and RW's coming back for the Cup so the main question is what to do with the Vase and Mile.

I'm guessing it's a JP hors for the Vase, but I'm not sure if he'd stick with Soul Rush or get snapped up by an HK owner for the Mile.
JMac'd probably try to convince connections to run VB in the Mile at least (to make sure he gets both VB and RW rides)

Feiern Kranz's really fighting Moreira. Doesn't bode well for his chance in the race.
>>539185237
Oh, I meant for Japanese races. I don't even know what big HK races are coming in the new few months.
I'm just worried about him Magic Manning all the horses I like while he's here in Japan.

>>539183575
>american racing is all about the cash at the end of the day
Does they make good money?

>>539185237
i get why VB is likely doing the mile but he looked great over 2400, kinda want to see him try the vase

I love these chuuni phrases, can't believe I might be missing out on these. Are there any more?
https://x.com/netkeiba/status/1966808696370930112

>>539185973
Lmao Feiern almost threw Moreira there at the gate.

Kranz fucking headbutted the gate and might have broken a tooth. His mouth's covered in blood.

>>539186351
what a dork

Museum Mile won St Lite Kinen

>>539185973
He's only staying in JP until Sprinters Stakes iirc, so that's why there's time for HK afterwards.

For HK it's basically the HKIR and its prep races, if HKJC approves the license Moreira'd show up just in time for the Premier Bowl (G2)
This race should be pretty interesting: Since KYR's still in Australia and Lucky Sweynesse's just back from JP, this would be fairly open to everyone else imo
Probably Helios Express' best chance in grabbing a G2, at least

more like museum 1.25 to 1.5 mile am i right

Museum Mile in first, Kranz dead last. Tosakiiiii's doing really well this year. Not sure if Museum Mile will actually run the Kikkasho, but I hope he does.
There's a nip screaming about how he'll never forgive Moreira.

God, Kranz, what an absolute mess

>>539186893
Already declared aiming for Akiten

Feels like Yamanin Bouclier started to bloom as well hitting 2nd as 8th fav, it's his 2nd time losing against Museum Mile but with much closed distances

I've seen nips already in despair over the very real possibility of the Magic Man cockblocking Natural Rise from becoming the first Dirt Triple Crown.

>>539187924
Tell their riders to git gud :^)

He's so lean. On an unrelated note, Tosaki was sweating like mad, you'd think riding a horse at such high speed would be nice and cool.
>>539187509
Ah. So another Kikkasho with no Satsuki Sho or Derby winner.
>>539187924
Please no. I want Reve to win the Sprinters Stakes, but I love Natural Rise too. I'll only accept his defeat if it's by Night of Fire.

>>539180156
they should try australia races. they have a lot prestigious races like cox plate & melbourne cup. funny Japan already won the 2 races with Delta Blues (Melbourne Cup) & Lys Gracieux (Cox Plate)
or they could try aiming for Ascot G1 which is far more prestigious than L'arc (literally backed by UK Royal Family, can't get more prestigious than that). I heard bong track aren't as bogged like L'arc & Satono Reve did well on Ascot track despite placing 2nd.
but honestly America, Middle East, Hong Kong & Australia is the best place for nip hors to run, their turf is similar like Nips firm turf + they have a lot of big purse races unlike yuropoor races anyway

https://x.com/yahagistable/status/1967503834173034729
What did they talk about

>>539191119
>Australia
Depends on which race you're talking about.
Victoria Racing (Cox Plate, Melbourne Cup) has pretty strict quarantine requirements (there's a reason why Danny Shum decided against going to the Cox Plate again)

ATC (Everest, Golden Eagle) is easier quarantine-wise, at least

>Royal Ascot
It's less bogged compared to frog tracks (especially during Royal Ascot week), but the undulations are still a bitch to deal with.
(York is arguably easier to adapt to, being flat+usually dry ground)
Reve is kind of the exception, not the norm here.
Timing-wise it's also pretty awkward, being end of the spring season.

man I'm not really optimistic with current nips jockey.
they’ve been dabbed on by gaijin jockeys even on their own turf. Even one of the good young jockeys like Sakai still fumbled in international races and doesn’t know how to deal with euro pacemakers.
Makes me wonder if JRA will loosen the restrictions for NAR jockeys. I doubt we’ll get a lot of new JRA jockeys in the future, with the JRA jockey school getting fewer students and graduates every year, the good ones getting older and older…
what went wrong?
I hope Sakai keep getting better, man.

>>539192860
>checked Everest purse
>20million for sprinter race
that's hella lot of money there, also JP trained horse has won Golden Eagle too, nice.
Japan should start invading Aussie, seriously.
they have a lot of big purse races compared to euro G1s, and Aussie turf is friendly to JP horses, literally heaven for milers and sprinters.
even aussie G2 has bigger prizes than euro G1, what a fucking joke.

>>539194079
Except the Aussies are sprinter powerhouses.
If JP has a hard time with Hong Kong sprinters, Australia will eat them alive.
Danon Smash's HKS was in a year where HK's sprinter ranks are in its weakest, and Kanaloa is Kanaloa.

Also the Everest uses a Slot-Holder system, so you need to pay to get a slot and pick your Champion, unlike other invitationals where you can just register your horse.
Inglis planned on picking Invincible Papa this year, but the latter chose to run in the BCTS instead.

>>539194079
>milers and sprinters
JP should acknowledge that mile and short are worthy of their time first. They're too fixated on that 2000-2400 distance.

>>539194486
Not to mention this year has that giant KYR-shaped elephant in the room

>>539194527

Somehow, the NAR keeps pumping out new jockeys every year without fail. They got 10 new graduates this year alone.

>>539192860
>Victoria Racing (Cox Plate, Melbourne Cup) has pretty strict quarantine requirements (there's a reason why Danny Shum decided against going to the Cox Plate again)
>ATC (Everest, Golden Eagle) is easier quarantine-wise, at least
How does that even work? They're still horses coming into the country.

>>539196829
Different racing clubs, different rules.
Simple as.

>>539193180
The gaijin jockeys who come are literally the best of the best that's why they romp. Top tier rides + top tier jockeys bring great results.

>>539194486
JP can just raid Aussie mid-to-long distance races. If they can compete in the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, and Australia Cup, that’s already amazing. I’m being generous here, but some JP horses are capable of keeping up with HK sprinters and even winning HK races as long as they’ve got the right horse, training, and jockey. Most importantly, the horse has to be COMPATIBLE with said track. it’s funny that I can see the future where Japan beating Aussie’s best sprinters on their own turf being way more plausible than Japan winning the Arc at this point. Hahaha…
>>539196554
Maybe NAR jockey school is less strict than JRA’s, but the fact that Ryusei Sakai exists, and he’s not a JRA graduate makes me think there are hidden gems or diamond in the rough among NAR jockeys. Yahagi keeps using NAR jockeys too, and so far they’ve been competent. Oi’s got so many talented jockeys as well.
Sakai is still very young, he has a room to grow

>>539196396
I still remember when Sakuya was the porn queen, good times.
Kinda sad that shinymas never managed to break into the mainstream, even though it’s still somewhat popular in otaku circles.

>>539197130
>best of the best
>Badel is literally mid-tier, 10th on the jockey rankings last season

>>539197559
Sakuya is kinda emblematic of the debacle as a whole, innit?
Sexo design, but the approach they took with the characters was too slow-burn to ever get popular.
It's kinda funny how with all the pre-launch horniness it ended up becoming the 2deep4u branch, but has now shifted to whoring its idols out. Circle of life.

Anyway, back to hors.

>>539197674
Badel barely did anything. Starke looked good on Kamunyak until it turned out that she was actually that good and just took a bit to fill out. Losing to Moreira, Lane, Moore, C.Demuro or Murphy is fine. I will give you that losing to King was embarrassing as fuck though.

>>539197369
There's a reason why Japan considers Hong Kong Sprint to be the sprint equivalent of the Arc.
Like I said Kanaloa is a different league by JP standards, and Danon Smash came in a year where the locals were abnormally weak. In any other year they'd be lucky to get a Place.

Reve did perform solid here to give him credit, at least on par with Helios Express. If KYR weren't around he might have a genuine chance.

Oddly enough despite both being sprinting specialists HK and Aussie sprinters don't get much chance to go against each other these days, so this year's Everest would be interesting

https://race.sp.netkeiba.com/race/shutuba.html?race_id=202506040911
Is this Sprinters Stakes lineup fully confirmed?

I refuse to believe this is middle schooler, she looks like a newlywed wife wtf

>>539198324

>>539198149
Isn't Rachel King the best female jockey around?

>>539198381
Yeah, mine.
Athletes are generally more filled-out than their peers, so to speak.

>>539197920
She would've made a fine Inu Musume.

>>539198519
Yes which makes her around like mid tier. Tosaki with Mikki Fight jobbing that February Stakes race.

>>539196396
That's me with CG/Deresute. Time flies.
>>539197369
NAR jockeys just have more chance to ride over all, I think. They race more than JAR jockeys, get more chance to try out different horses, and have more competition between the various racecourses. It's how you get people like Tosaki or Ankatsu. Ooi in general is just bless with a lot of funding and a lot of graded races.
