Janpoke Saito mentions Omatase-chan’s future
Speaking of Kanazawa horse racing, “Omatase-chan”, or Omatase Shimashita, owned by Jungle Pocket’s Shinji Saito, made headlines when she was transferred from Kadobetsu Racecourse in Hidaka-machi, Saru-gun, Hokkaido.
Saito had hoped to run Omatase-chan at his hometown Funabashi Racecourse in Chiba Prefecture, but he was short on prize money and thought he could make his dream come true by improving his performance at Kanazawa Racecourse. However, the last race of the year was cancelled due to snow…
Horse racing fans were convinced that 「it was a good thing the event was cancelled」 because of the snow.
Janpoke Saito said of Omatase-chan, 「We will consider her future while assessing her physical condition and other factors」.
Fans are also looking forward to seeing more of his work in the future.
As an aside, how to enjoy Kanazawa Racecourse…
Although there was no race at the Kanazawa Racecourse, they were creative in arranging panels of Uma Musume for visitors to enjoy.
Some people enjoyed gourmet food at the on-site restaurant, Basyoya.
Many fans of Basyoya have been tweeting a lot about it.
