Race Prediction & Full Analysis | B3 Class
Date: December 19, 2025
Under the night sky of Kawasaki Racecourse, an era will draw to a close. The 11th race, the “Tadashi Konno & Seishi Yamazaki Retirement Memorial,” is more than a B3 class race; it’s a special stage honoring two great jockeys who have been pillars of South Kanto horse racing. With over 2,000 wins each, their simultaneous retirement marks a significant turning point for Kawasaki Racecourse as they embark on a new path as horsemen.
Known as a track that “tests jockey skill” due to its unique shape. The tight corners and a short 300m final straight demand high cornering technique and make a good position by the 4th corner an absolute prerequisite for a strong performance.
This time of year, the track is often fast. With many speedy, front-running horses in this race, the strategy leans towards a “front-runner advantage” bias, where leaders can hold on to the finish line in a “wire-to-wire” scenario.
1
Sire California Chrome. Fuses speed with power. Innermost gate is a significant advantage. If it can lead smoothly, it can bounce back.
2
Sire Henny Hughes. Very stable record and perfect condition. A strong contender for this race.
3
Sire King Kamehameha. Consistently lacking a decisive finish. Aims to navigate efficiently from the inside.
4
Sire Nadal. A 3-year-old with growth potential. Distance reduction could provide a good stimulus for a change in performance.
5
Sire Deep Impact. Return to its suitable 1500m distance could bring a significant turnaround. An attractive long-shot candidate.
6
Sire Dunkirk. In a slump with poor recent results. Best to observe.
7
Sire Meisho Bowler. Consistent placings and smooth training. Potential to place highly depending on race development.
8
A “Kawasaki specialist” with an almost perfect record here. Previous loss can be disregarded. Top favorite.
9
Sire Reve Mistral. Has struggled in recent races, suggesting a tough race ahead.
10
“Golden combination for dirt” pedigree. Showed strong performance despite a bad start last race. Can contend if it starts evenly.
11
Sire Shanghai Bobby. Well-balanced pedigree. Could be an interesting contender if it gets into a smooth rhythm.
12
Classic dirt pedigree, but age (8 years) is a drawback. Poor recent form makes a turnaround difficult.
