The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Chiba 2026, 一哉 西川 crossed the line in 1:21:17: 105th of 295 men, faster than 64% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 51% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:30 on the median. A harder second half: 1:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
That was 3:27 off the time at Taipei 2026.
