the past 10 years,Emperor’s Award, SpringThe most popular horse is[3-2-0-5]. In the last five years, the most popular horses have always been in a row, such as Deep Bond, which finished second last year, and Fierement, who won consecutive championships in 2019 and 20. However, looking before 2016, Tsushima had to go back to the winning horse Deep Impact in 2006, and even within the third place, it was Asakusa Kings in 2008. In this way, the reliability of the most popular horse is not so high.
Looking for the commonalities of good-running horses, the counterattack of the previous Nikkei Sho defeated group stands out. Last year’s world premiere won the Nikkei Sho 3rd place, Stiffelio also won the 3rd to 11th most popular 2nd place in 20 years, and Fenomeno in 2014 succeeded in regaining the Emperor’s Award and the spring consecutive championship from the 5th place.
In addition, there are many revival of long-distance performance horses that had been sluggish in the short run. Curren Mirotic in 2016, who was the 13th most popular but rushed to 2nd place, ran well in 3rd place in the previous year’s Tenno Sho Spring, and the 14th most popular and turbulent 12th year winner Beat Black was also 3rd. At the age of three, he had a track record of wearing three at the Kikuka Award.
This year’s Tenno Sho, Spring, has become a popular deep bond, but the ambush team is also multi-talented. I would like to aim for a long-distance gun from a long-distance track record horse that was a defeated group in the previous Nikkei Sho or a poor short-distance run.

At the Hanshin Daishōten, which was a big challenge for a long time, horse racing from behind without a dash at the start. Even so, I was able to catch up with the flow along the way and seemed to be able to recover well, but when I compared the straight lines, I couldn’t use my spicy legs and I was up to 4th. It was the first time in two and a half months since the last run and grazing, and his lack of intuition had an effect.
Manyo S, who was a big challenge before the second run, was quite a horse race, and the member’s fastest climb from the back won the race. Although there was a difference in handicap from the second horse, it was the first time in the race that there seemed to be plenty of room. This time, he was hit and the sign was rising as usual, and in this state, even this opponent is not inferior.
However, is it really tough if you step on the back at the start? I want to confirm the sign of the day. Father Gold Ship is the winner of the 15th Emperor’s Award, Spring. Produce a good dividend with stamina inherited from his father.
