Racehorse's body form is really beautiful.
They are athletes. Strong, and sophisticated.
It's really photogenic.

Went watching horse-race on last weekend.
We visited Nakayama Race-Course.(中山競馬場)
I’ve not bet, just enjoyed watching beautiful horses beside the race-track.
It was first time for me. And we could have exciting time.

We could see the horses very near.
Before race starts, horses looks very furious and sometimes nervous.
And jockey was trying to make them settle down.

At the last corner,
all horses spurt at once. It's really exciting view.
Many people who bet money shouts their horse's name out.

At the time of goal,
around there is filled with people's scream and sigh.
Watching Keiba(競馬 horse-race)is very interesting and enjoyable
even without betting.


というわけで、中山競馬場にちょこっと行ってた。
ハマっちゃう性格なので、あえて一円も賭けず。
まぁ、yomeは賭けていたけど。賭けなくても意外と楽しめるものですな。
入場料は200円。その気になれば一日楽しめるぞ。

  1. Very interesting to see..
    I have been to the Singapore Turf Club once. This was a very special experience because horse races are not a big thing in Switzerland..

    Thanks for your comment.

    Singapore horse-race is also exciting, I guess.
    In Japan,horse-race is held every weekend at various race-course.

    That was my first experience but horse-race is daily scene in my country.
    Come and watch the horse race in Japan someday. :)
