The Beginning of Citrus Keiba

 

Welcome to my blog about Japanese horse racing, meaning “keiba” in Japanese. 

I’m Zach Stein, and thank you very much for checking out my blog. 


Most of Citrus Keiba’s posts will assume that the reader has a basic level of 

knowledge regarding keiba. To clarify, I will seldom explain jargon such as “lengths”

and assume that the reader understands the general structure of the JRA and NAR.

For those who are new to keiba, I will post introductory articles in the next two weeks. 


The weekend of November 29-30th will be the first weekend of coverage, with the 

Japan Cup as the first G1 covered by Citrus Keiba. G1, JG1, and Jpn1 races will 

always receive pre-race previews and post-race recaps posted within two hours of 

the finish. G2 and G3 races may or may not receive post-race recaps, but recaps will 

be posted within twelve hours of the finish. Odds of G2 and G3 races receiving extra

coverage will increase if there is not a G1 race that weekend. Other races, including

Listed, Open, maiden, debut, JG2, JG3, Jpn2, Jpn3, and other conditional races will 

usually not be covered.

 

In addition to pre- and post-race preview and recap articles, other content that may

be posted include personal opinion pieces, guides, English-language interviews, 

and Umamusume-related content such as which horses I think should be adapted 

into Umamusume.

 

I sincerely enjoy horse racing, particularly keiba, and I hope to spread awareness 

and enjoyment of keiba in the Anglophone world with my blog.
