Today I went to see a horse race (Keiba) that to today in Tokyo.
Very close to where I live in Fuchu Racecourse is a very big which often hold large horse racing, so I could go in a few minutes by bike.

Entry without a reserved seat is worth 200 yen (1.4 €) and the entrance with reserved seats somewhere a little more special worth 1000 yen (7 €). I do not have reserved seating means that there are a few seats, but not for everyone, so just sit the first to arrive, but as the recent large and there is so many places to get feet, not to do much missing. Also, you can be in and out of the race area to go see how they train the next they will go for a run, as the races start in the morning and end in the afternoon, so that price can be seen up to 12 races.

The races today were specifically racing mares, and after a race, spend about 30 minutes until it starts the next, and raced today in most parts of Japan, and between one race and one could see racing giant screens of the other cities.

The site is very well conditioned, with many shops, giant screens in the middle of the racetrack, hundreds of televisions inside the enclosure and especially hundreds of machines to place bets on the winning horses.

I do not follow the races here in Japan normally, so I did not know horses usually win, but as I ever tell you, I have had horses a few years , so today, before each race, I went and I put to see how the horses trained and then told they had Ayumi horses look to be the best and the horse that I thought would win, and the three races we've seen, I have hit in 2 which would be the winning horse and the third has been second the horse that I thought would win. It may be coincidence, or intuition, but there were displays graphs of the number of race horses who had won the previous positions, the expert opinion etc and everyone was looking at this data to make bets.

You can see all the photos here .
