In the Emperor’s Award, the first GI challenge, Spring was the 3rd favorite, 5th place, and Takarazuka Kinen was the 15th favorite, 15th place. However, the Emperor’s Prize Spring is the result of attacking in the form of marking a deep bond, and the Takarazuka Kinen is out of the reference because it took a step back at the start. It would be premature to give up on these two races.
He is often seen as a stayer because he has run well in graded races over 3,000m, including 2nd in the Stayers S at the end of the year and 2nd in the Hanshin Grand Prix at the beginning of the year, but he wants to go on the road, and his best is 4 wins. 2400m boasting 3 wins.
At last year’s Kyoto Grand Prix, he lost to 12th place without a highlight, but the plus 18km was clearly a comfortable finish, and he was slow to react in the race. It’s different this year, as I’ve been using the CW course and slopes since early September, and I’ve been carefully riding them. If you don’t like the big loss in the previous year and the previous race, it’s a good existence, and with this member, you can even win the first graded prize.
