The answer to that question is "The Final Race held at Kochi Racecourse on the 31st".
Weren't you all ecstatic with the Arima not too long ago?It's the climax of all races of the year...But didn't you go to watch the Hopeful Stakes in person on the 28th?
While the 2025 racing calendar has the Hopeful scheduled before Arima, in regular years the Hopeful Stakes is held on the 28th of December, the last workday in Japan, which is often after the Arima Kinen which is held on the last Sunday of every DecemberW... well, I also can't call it an end of the year if I don't look over the Juniors who will be the future of racing...and also to Ooi on the 29th to watch the Tokyo Daishoten...Well it's the climax of dirt racing so If I don't watch it...WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FINISH THE YEAR!??It won't be the end of the year for me unless I watch the Arima.She's saying the exact same thing as my grandpa!Chrono and New Years greetingsThey do say "Kinpai is the key to the whole year" after all...
A parody of "一年の計は元旦にあり (New Year's Day is the key to the year)." The Kinpai Chrono is referring to is the Nakayama Kinpai, which together with the Kyoto Kinpai, is held every year in early January to start off the JRA racing calendar.I wanted to start off by going to Nakayama Racecourse...
