23rd Fukushima Himesayuri Stakes — Workout Analysis 2026
── Pre-race gallop × Full slope lap sequence × Current week × WHGR ──
Sunday, April 19, 2026 · Fukushima 11R · Turf 1800m · 16 runners · Post 15:15 · G3 · Fillies & Mares
No runner clears the WHGR ★★ threshold (+200 or above), and zero runners completed a pre-race Friday gallop. Selection is based entirely on the current-week slope workout data, with a new emphasis on the full 4-lap acceleration sequence (Lap4→Lap3→Lap2→Lap1). Sustained acceleration from start to finish is the primary selection criterion.
1. Pre-race Gallop ── Zero of 16 runners completed
All 16 runners, from both Ritto and Miho stables, skipped the Friday pre-race gallop — consistent with long-distance travel logistics to the Fukushima venue. Pre-race gallop evaluation is therefore omitted entirely. The assessment focuses on current-week timed workout content and full lap sequence analysis.
2. Slope Workout — Full Lap Sequence Analysis
This report introduces a new evaluation criterion: the full Lap4→Lap3→Lap2→Lap1 sequence. Horses that sustain continuous acceleration from start to finish are rated highest. Horses that decelerate mid-workout and only finish fast in the final furlong receive a lower rating.
Current-week Slope: Full Lap Sequence (Key runners)
| # | Horse | Lap4→3→2→1 | Accel. Rating | Abs. Time | WHGR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | Joyful News | 15.5→14.7→13.6→12.3 | Sustained ★★★ | ★★★ | +20 ◎ |
| 3 | Paradireine | 16.8→13.8→12.8→12.0 | Sustained ★★★ | ★★★ | +20 ◎ |
| 4 | Anri Road | 16.4→15.5→14.6→12.3 | Sustained ★★★ | ★★★ | ±0 · |
| 9 | Conduia | 16.2→15.1→13.0→12.2 | Sustained ★★★ | ★★★ | −80 · |
| 13 | Kogane no Sora | 14.5→13.6→13.2→13.0 | Sustained ★★★ | ★★ | +100 ◎ |
| 8 | Braun Ratchet | 14.2→13.6→13.7→13.6 | Late accel only ★ Decel at Lap2 |
— | −40 · |
#8 Braun Ratchet (Tezuka S-rank) shows a deceleration at Lap2 (13.7s), breaking the sustained acceleration pattern. The Tezuka S-rank signal (wood 1F ≤11.3s) was also not triggered (1F: 11.5s). Downgraded accordingly.
3. Overall Assessment
| # | Horse | Lap Sequence | Accel. | WHGR | Wood | Grade |

Sustained★★★ | +20 ◎ | 1F 11.1★ best | A |

Conclusion
1. #14 Joyful News (Ohno / Otake stable) — Slope 15.5→14.7→13.6→12.3: sustained acceleration ★★★ + gain ★★ (−1.8s) + absolute clockwork ★★★. Wood final furlong 11.1s is the fastest among all 16 runners. Both slope and wood confirm peak readiness — the strongest dual confirmation in this field. WHGR +20 is the only weakness.
2. #3 Paradireine (Tanai / Chida stable) — Slope 16.8→13.8→12.8→12.0: large sustained acceleration ★★★. Final furlong 12.0s is the outright fastest slope time. Steady ★★★ + absolute clockwork ★★★. WHGR +20.
3. #4 Anri Road (Tomita) — Slope 16.4→15.5→14.6→12.3: textbook sustained acceleration ★★★ + absolute clockwork ★★★. WHGR ±0 is modest but workout quality is consistent.
Note. #8 Braun Ratchet (Tezuka S-rank) — Despite the S-rank stable, the slope shows a deceleration at Lap2 (13.7s). The Tezuka signal (wood 1F ≤11.3s) was not triggered either. Downgraded to B this race.
Betting Structure
◎ Win #14 (1 ticket)
◎ Place #14 (1 ticket)
※ No WHGR ★★, no pre-race gallops — confidence level is below standard. Passing is a valid option. If participating, minimum 2-ticket structure only.
