Hiuchigatake Tokubetsu Training Analysis 2026
── 1-Week-Prior Work × Race-Week Work × WHGR ──
April 12, 2026 (Sun) Fukushima Race 9 | Turf 2600m | 13 runners | Post time 14:05
1. Pre-Race Slope Work — 0 of 13 Runners
The third Fukushima race analyzed, and once again zero horses worked the slope the day before. Following the Minpo Hai (2 at exercise level) and Kitakata Tokubetsu (1 at exercise level), this confirms that pre-race slope theory is completely non-functional at Fukushima.
2. 1-Week-Prior vs. Race-Week — Readiness Comparison
Improving Type (key focus):
#11 Nihonpiro Gordy — Slope 53.0→50.9★ (fastest of all) (−2.1)
#13 Herz As — Slope 55.2→53.0 (−2.2). WHGR +195
Race-Week Rush Type:
#4 Take the Crown — Slope 64.3→53.0 (−11.3). WHGR +450★★ (1st)
#9 VIP Chase — Slope 67.6→54.9 (−12.7). WHGR +250★★
Stable Type:
#2 Danon Anturas — Slope 66.1→67.1 maintained + Wood 69.6→66.6 improving
#5 Take It Easy — Limited slope data. Wood 69.3→68.2 (improving)
3. B-4 Pattern — Kayano Koji Stable Entry
#5 Take It Easy (Kazuki Kikusawa × Koji Kayano stable)
■ B-4 Pattern: Kayano stable OOS recovery rate 745%★★★ → highest of all stables.
■ WHGR Combined: +250★★ (3rd)
■ Training: Wood 69.3→68.2 (improving trend)
→ From the strongest B-4 pattern stable (745%) with WHGR +250 backing. A double entry from the same Kayano stable as Meiner Mistral in Nakayama R6.
4. Combined WHGR Ranking
| Rank | # | Horse | Jockey | Total | Notes |

5. Overall Assessment
| # | Horse | Readiness | WHGR | Pattern | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Take the Crown | Rush 64.3→53.0 | +450★★ | A | |
| 5 | Take It Easy | Wood 69.3→68.2 improving | +250★★ | B-4 Kayano 745%★★★ | A |
| 11 | Nihonpiro Gordy | Improving 53.0→50.9 fastest★★ | −140 | B+ (training ◎ WHGR ✗) | |
| 12 | Laurel Orb | No slope data | +380★★ | B+ (WHGR only) | |
| 13 | Herz As | Improving 55.2→53.0 | +195◎ | B |
Conclusion
1. #5 Take It Easy (Kayano stable) — From the stable with the highest B-4 pattern value (OOS 745%★★★), with WHGR +250 support at 3rd. A double entry from the same Kayano stable running in Nakayama R6, with competitive intent clearly present.
2. #4 Take the Crown — WHGR +450 leads the field + rush-type race-week slope 53.0. Strong WHGR backing, but the jump from 64.3 to 53.0 in one week raises temperament concerns.
3. Three consecutive Fukushima races with zero pre-race slope work. Pre-race slope theory is completely inapplicable at Fukushima. Decision axes narrow to “1-week vs. race-week readiness” and “WHGR + pattern.”
4. #1 Penetrate Go has WHGR −680 (horse −340 + jockey −340), the worst level across all races today.
