Winter Champion Race Overview
- Race Name: The 8th Winter Champion
- Date: November 16, 2025
- Racecourse: Saga Racecourse
- Distance: Dirt 1400m
- Entries: 12 horses
- Analysis Basis: Provided form guide and pedigree data only
Keys to Race Development
Predicting the race development hinges on the “passing position” data from the form guide. This year’s field is clearly divided into prominent front-runners and effective closers.
Key Front-Runners (Pace Setters)
- 4. Meiner Sahara: Secured wire-to-wire victories in his previous race “Omura Bay” and three races prior “Tenzan,” leading with passing positions of “1-1-1-1.”
- 6. Silver Ghost: Boasts strong early speed, leading or sitting second in three of his last four starts.
- 2. Digital Scion: Won wire-to-wire in the “Toukino Hi” race two starts ago, demonstrating potent gate-to-wire ability with “1-1-1-1” passing positions.
Closers / Late Chargers
- 5. Ooicho: Consistently races from mid-pack or further back, relying on a powerful late surge.
- 7. T M Fonte: Achieved a brilliant come-from-behind victory from mid-pack in the “Saga Open” two starts ago.
The Ultimate Showdown: Pace Battle for Supremacy
The central drama of the Winter Champion will unfold with the fierce battle for the lead between 4. Meiner Sahara and 6. Silver Ghost. Data indicates both horses are natural front-runners, and their rivalry has produced clear results in their last two direct encounters:
- Previous Race “Omura Bay” (November 1): Meiner Sahara seized the lead and won, while Silver Ghost settled in 4th.
- Two Races Prior “Saga Open” (October 19): Silver Ghost dictated the pace and finished 2nd, with Meiner Sahara settling for 4th.
This data strongly suggests a correlation: “the horse that secures the lead tends to finish ahead of its rival.” In this upcoming race, Silver Ghost (54kg) holds a 2kg weight advantage over Meiner Sahara (56kg). The crucial first turning point will be whether Silver Ghost can leverage this weight difference to reclaim the lead.
In-Depth Comparison: The Crucial “Omura Bay” Contenders
Six of the twelve entries previously clashed in the “Omura Bay” race (Saga, 1400m, good track) just two weeks prior on November 1st. The results of this key prep race serve as the most critical reference for our Winter Champion predictions.

“Omura Bay” Results (November 1)
1st: 4. Meiner Sahara
- Time: 1.28.8
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: 1-1-1-1
- Final 3F: 39.0
- A flawless wire-to-wire victory, showcasing top-tier speed. However, data from the “Saga Open” two races prior, where he failed to secure the lead and finished 4th, suggests a potential vulnerability if he can’t dictate the pace. Sired by Symboli Kris S, out of a dam by Agnes Digital.
2nd: 9. Lord Midnight
- Time: 1.29.5
- Time Difference: 0.7s
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: 4-4-3-3
- Final 3F: 39.0
- Exhibited consistent performance sitting just off the pace. With recent finishes of “1st, 4th, 5th, 2nd” in his last four starts, he has a reliable record as a strong contender for a top finish.
4th: 6. Silver Ghost
スポンサーリンク
- Time: 1.29.8
- Time Difference: 1.0s
- Weight: 54kg
- Passing Positions: 3-3-2-2
- Final 3F: 39.7
- His 4th-place finish is likely attributed to conceding the lead to Meiner Sahara, suggesting that settling off the pace may not suit his style. With a 2kg weight advantage over Meiner Sahara in this race, a reversal of fortune is statistically possible if he can snatch the lead.
5th: 2. Digital Scion
- Time: 1.30.2
- Time Difference: 1.4s
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: 5-5-4-4
- Final 3F: 39.5
- Boasts an astonishing “8-11-1-1” record at Saga, finishing out of the money only once in 21 starts on this course. He tends to perform better on a softer track, so the track condition on race day will be a crucial factor.
6th: 11. Abierto
- Time: 1.30.3
- Time Difference: 1.5s
- Weight: 54kg
- Passing Positions: 7-7-7-6
- Final 3F: 38.4
- Recorded the fastest final 3F among all runners in the “Omura Bay” race. Possesses the latent ability to make a significant impact if the race pace plays to his strengths.
8th: 1. Meiner Douglas
- Time: 1.31.1
- Time Difference: 2.3s
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: 9-9-9-9
- Final 3F: 38.6
- Having been outpaced by over 2 seconds by the top contenders in his last two starts, a significant turnaround appears statistically challenging.
Saga Course Performance Comparison
| Horse Name | Record (1st-2nd-3rd-Unplaced) | Top 2 Finish Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2. Digital Scion | 8-11-1-1 | 90.5% |
| 8. Febukirana | 14-9-5-20 | 47.9% |
| 6. Silver Ghost | 4-1-2-2 | 62.5% |
| 4. Meiner Sahara | 8-1-1-5 | 60.0% |
| 5. Ooicho | 4-2-3-3 | 50.0% |
Spotlight on Contenders: Talented Horses Beyond the “Omura Bay” Group
To avoid taking the “Omura Bay” results as absolute truth, we must consider the outcome of the “Saga Open” held on October 19th.

“Saga Open” Results (October 19)
1st: 7. T M Fonte
- Time: 1.28.2
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: ⑤-4-4-2
- T M Fonte impressively surged past Silver Ghost, Ooicho, and Meiner Sahara to claim victory. His winning time of 1:28.2 was 0.6 seconds faster than the “Omura Bay” winning time (1:28.8), underscoring a high-quality performance. With a comfortable racing schedule, he skipped “Omura Bay.” As the only horse to defeat Meiner Sahara when the latter raced off the pace, T M Fonte emerges as a prime contender.
2nd: 6. Silver Ghost
- Time: 1.28.7
- Weight: 54kg
- Passing Positions: 1-1-1-1
3rd: 5. Ooicho
スポンサーリンク
- Time: 1.29.1
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: 8-7-7-4
- The form guide consistently shows Ooicho to be a powerful finisher. If the front-runners engage in a fierce speed duel, setting a fast pace, this horse’s potent late kick positions him for a strong challenge.
4th: 4. Meiner Sahara
- Time: 1.29.4
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: 3-2-2-3
5th: 9. Lord Midnight
- Time: 1.29.9
- Weight: 56kg
- Passing Positions: 6-5-5-5
3. Kona Black
- Kona Black boasts a 3rd-place finish in a JRA turf open class, confirming his inherent speed. However, his initial start at Saga resulted in a 6th-place finish with an unremarkable time. His adaptability to the Saga Dirt 1400m remains “unknown” based on current data. Sired by Kitasan Black.
Data Evaluation of Other Entrants
- 8. Febukirana: While possessing the most Saga course experience, recent performances have shown a lack of consistency against top-tier competition.
- 1. Meiner Douglas: Having finished more than 2 seconds behind the leading contenders in his last two starts, a significant improvement appears statistically unlikely.
- 3. Vagabond: Returning from an approximately three-month layoff, coupled with the presence of strong front-running rivals, presents a challenging scenario based on current data.
- 10. Dimei Seven: A transfer from JRA. Having typically raced over middle distances, his ability to adapt to the 1400m sprint is an unknown factor.
Conclusion: Winter Champion Prediction Summary
- Who will seize the lead?: The battle for pace supremacy between Meiner Sahara and Silver Ghost is paramount. If Silver Ghost can exploit his weight advantage to secure the lead, a reversal of the previous race’s outcome is highly probable.
- “Omura Bay” Contenders vs. “Alternative Route” Runners: Meiner Sahara, who dominated “Omura Bay,” and Lord Midnight, who finished 2nd, are strong contenders. However, T M Fonte, who decisively defeated both in the “Saga Open,” could be the dark horse with the strongest underlying data.
- Track Conditions and Course Aptitude: Digital Scion, a proven Saga course specialist, will see his chances significantly boosted if the track conditions are to his liking on race day.
