2023 Japanese Racing

[tachyon]

So happy to see this! Won really nicely and has a big stride. Wonder where the big gray goes next?

His jockey Yuga Kawada had commented that he would be a G1 contender in overseas in 2024-2025.
He is still green and will continue to improve from now on.
I have no idea about his next start.
I only guess that trainer Yoshito Yahagi will take a step-by-step approach with this Arrogate colt.

Hope they continue to let him develop at his own pace and give him all the time he needs - they will be rewarded!

Mystic Lore was impressive -- he certainly has a bright future and it's exciting to read he may run abroad next season.

Mystic Lore(USA) has been entered for the G3 Leopard Stakes.
Barrier will be drawn tomorrow.

How exciting- hope Mystic Lore runs well!

Sinister Minister 3yo filly Riot Grrrl(JPN) won the G3 Leopard Stakes.
I thought that was a total throwout for the race-favorite Mystic Lore(USA). He finished second last.
He pulled throughout the race and didn't seem to know how to turn anti-clockwise.
Next time!

Disappointing

But he's still young and only raced 3 times now, I think he'll get better.

The BC CLASSIC could be the ''Ultimate Goal'' not only for Ushba Tesoro but also for the racing industry / community in Japan as a whole!

2yo champion & dual classic winner Liberty Island(JPN)(Duramente) will return to Ritto in September before she attempts to become the Triple Crown winner for Fillies in the G1 Shuka Sho in October.
Her connections have indicated that she would be pointed to the G1 Japan Cup to complete her sophomore campaign.
The Japan Cup this year is going to be a helluva race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



-- video: Liberty Island's summer vacation -- the ''Lady'' (jockey Yuga Kawada call her so) is too cute!

[brunanas]

Mandarin Hero raced last week (finished 2nd). Derma Sotogake is listed as a probable for the Nihon TV Hai (in September?).

Exciting news! And tachyon, I visited A Shin Forward today- not sure if it was mentioned on here, but he's been gelded and retired to Old Friends Cabin Creek. He looks fantastic, and I'll post some photos later if you'd like!
