2024 Japanese Racing

[tachyon]

Shin Emperor third in the Champion Stakes with traffic issues, not bad. I hope they still want to run him in the Arc.

Yeah, the Japanese Derby 3rd ran very well in his first start in Europe.
We knew he didn't dislike European turf at least.
He will head to the Arc, of course.

Yoshito Yahagi has just commented,

''That was a tough race, in which Coolmore had four runners and we had only one.
I'm sorry for the fans in Japan who backed us holding win tickets.
Shin Emperor was only about 70% today and he will improve from here for the Arc.''

16 selected horses for the Japan Dirt Classic (Jpn1. 2000m dirt at Oi on Oct 2nd) have been announced today!!
The Japan Dirt Classic is the final leg of the Japan Dirt Triple Crown.
I wonder if this Jpn1 field could be even more competitive than a G1!!
Can't wait!!

It's a very strong field. Very much looking forward to the matchup of Forever Young and Ramjet.
