社記 その時神主《割書：遠久三男｜》教文《割書：還補中｜》
○貞和四年五月六日、社頭の馬場において式日の如く十番の競馬が行われた。装束も式日と同じである。これは氏人中の立願を果たすもので、元弘年間に往来田勘が落馬した時の願である。社司の参随は意のままである。装束は布衣である。禄の役は六人、ツヅミショウコ二人以上、八人は氏人を兼ねて選ぶ。束帯である。
【二番から一遅で走ること 経千追加】
一 文化八年五月五日、大雨洪水のため既に橋を引き上げようとしたが、それによって神事を急がせ、一番だけ三遅で走り、二番から十番まで一遅で走った。希代の例である。天正二年の競馬、これを例と言うべきか。
但し催奉行より階下左方経紹へ、一番の余りは一遅も無く番をするよう申し入れられたが、それでは法も無いので、せめて一遅でも構わないから有った後に番をするのが良い旨、経紹より返答があり、それによって右の通り決定し、催奉行より乗尻中へその趣旨を申し入れた。
左 主税清祈 例により勝

Shrine Records: At that time, head priest Kyōbun 《marginal note: third son of Tōhisa｜》《marginal note: during restoration to position｜》
○Jōwa 4th year (1348), May 6th: Ten rounds of horse racing were held at the shrine grounds' horse track, following the same format as the ceremonial day. The costumes were also the same as on the ceremonial day. This was to fulfill a vow made by the shrine people, a vow made when Ōraiden Kan fell from his horse during the Genkō era. The participation of shrine officials was at their discretion. The costume was court dress (ho'i). For the reward ceremony, there were six officials, two or more tsuzumi-shōko musicians, and eight people selected from among the shrine people. They wore formal court dress (sokutai).
【Running from the second round with one delay - Added by Tsunekazu】
One: Bunka 8th year (1811), May 5th: Due to heavy rain and flooding, they were about to remove the bridge, so the ritual was hurried. Only the first round ran with three delays, while from the second to tenth rounds ran with one delay. This was an unprecedented example. The horse racing of Tenshō 2nd year - can this be called a precedent?
However, the ceremony magistrate requested to the lower steps left side Tsunetsugu that rounds after the first should proceed without any delays, but Tsunetsugu replied that since there would be no proper procedure in that case, it would be better to have at least one delay before proceeding with the rounds. Based on this response, the above decision was made, and the ceremony magistrate conveyed this decision to the riders.
