That Derma Sotogake, what a horse! I heard folks talkin’, this one, a real runner. They say it’s a colt, four years old. A young one, but strong, like a bull calf.
This Derma Sotogake, it’s been racin’ since last year, 2023 they say. And 2024 too. Racin’ all over. Its daddy, they call it “Mind Your Biscuits”. Sounds funny, don’t it? And its mama, “Amour Poesie”. Fancy name, but this horse, it ain’t just fancy, it’s fast!
They say this horse ran in Meydan, I don’t know that place. But it won there, big win, they say. C P Lemaire, that’s the one ridin’ it. Must be a good rider to handle a horse like that.
- This horse, it’s a winner.
- Won big in Meydan, wherever that is.
- C P Lemaire, that’s the jockey.
Some folks say this Derma Sotogake is the “dirt champion” from Japan. Dirt, turf, whatever, a good horse runs on anything, I reckon. Won somethin’ called the “Derby” in 2023. Must be a big deal, that Derby.
I seen pictures, this Derma Sotogake, it’s a chestnut. Pretty color. Like a shiny penny. But don’t let that fool ya, this horse ain’t just for show. It’s built for speed.
They got all these numbers, these “statistics” they call ’em. Showin’ how fast it runs, where it runs, who it runs against. Lots of numbers, more than I can count on my fingers and toes!
Some races, it wins by a lot. Some, it’s close. But it’s always up there, fightin’ for the win. That’s what matters, ain’t it? The fight in the horse.
- Chestnut color, pretty like.
- Fast, that’s what they say.
- Wins a lot, sometimes close, always fightin’.
They talk about “class levels”, like school, but for horses. This Derma Sotogake, it’s in the top class, I bet. Only the best for this one.
And “track conditions”, muddy, dry, whatever. This horse, it don’t care. It runs. That’s all it knows. Run, and run fast. Just like a good horse should.
I don’t know much about this “Hidetaka Otonashi”, that’s the trainer. But he must be doin’ somethin’ right. Gotta know how to handle a horse like this Derma Sotogake. It ain’t no plow horse, that’s for sure.
They say this horse is from Japan. Far away place. But speed, that’s the same everywhere. A fast horse is a fast horse, no matter where it’s from.
- Top class, this Derma Sotogake.
- Runs on any track, don’t matter.
- Trainer, Hidetaka Otonashi, must be good.
- From Japan, but fast is fast everywhere.
This “Timeform Ratings”, another one of them fancy terms. Just another way of sayin’ how good the horse is, I reckon. And this Derma Sotogake, it’s got good ratings, I hear.
They say “Man O’ War” was the best ever. Ran a long time ago. Won almost every race. Carried a lot of weight, too. This Derma Sotogake, maybe it’s the next Man O’ War. Who knows?
But one thing’s for sure, this Derma Sotogake, it’s a horse to watch. It’s got the speed, it’s got the heart, it’s got the fight. And that’s all that matters. Keep an eye on this one, folks. It’s goin’ places.
This horse racin’ is a tough business. Longest, toughest race in the world, they call it the “Mongol Derby”. I wouldn’t know about that, never been to Mongol. But it sounds rough. This Derma Sotogake, maybe it could run that race. It’s tough enough, I bet.
- Timeform Ratings, sounds important.
- Man O’ War, best ever, they say.
- This Derma Sotogake, maybe just as good.
- Tough horse, this one, could run any race.
They used to have this long-distance mail system, back in the old days. Set up by some fella named Chinggis Khaan. Horses carryin’ the mail. This Derma Sotogake, it could’ve done that, too. Fast and strong, that’s what you need for that kind of work.
So, you look for a horse that’s always up front, always in the top. That’s this Derma Sotogake. Always in the mix, always tryin’ to win. That’s what makes a good racehorse.
This Derma Sotogake horse, it’s somethin’ special. Remember that name. You’ll be hearin’ it a lot, I reckon. A real good one, this horse is. A real good one.
