Interesting!

This reminds me. One of my favorites, The Truth or Else, was one of the first horses to compete in South Korea's equivalent of the Breeders' Cup that was both trained and based in America. He was a respectable fourth in his race. I was looking forward to seeing him hopefully retire to stud someday but he unfortunately died of a heart attack. The other horse was Papa Shot that same year, who was third in his race. I wonder what happened to him.

Article about it, which was 2017.

Naturally I would like to see Anarchist or one of the Japanese win. But if not I hope Hansen sires a winner :D

There is another Japanese horse named Keiai Dorie competing this year.

Glad both Remake and Crown Pride defended titles respectively.
Remake and Crown Pride received automatic berths into the BC Sprint and the BC Dirt Mile, respectively
Will they go to Del Mar next?

Happy to see Anarchist and the Japanese horses we're familiar with do well.

Something Lost, the 5th place finisher, is a Hansen son by the way. :D
