▼ Comments from jockey Kosei Miura

"Thank you for asking me about this precious opportunity of the first pitch ceremony. This is my first experience with the first pitch ceremony, and I am more nervous than horse racing, but I will do my best to make a good pitch, so I would appreciate it if you could watch over me warmly. The Satsuki Prize will also be held at Nakayama Racecourse in Chiba Prefecture, which is the same as Zozo Marine Stadium, so I hope to liven up the horse racing so that it does not lose to baseball."
