What a finish. Lovcen closes from the clouds and a Japanese triple crown will be on the line October 25th. 13 Peintre Naif screwed up the tri by getting 2nd. Awesome run from Basse Terre to get 3rd at 29-1 if only he couldve held 2nd.

Tokyo Yushun part 3
- Basse Terre (21-1) 4th dam produced Stormy Atlantic and two mares who produced US graded stakes winners on turf and dirt
- Lovcen (3-1) she is the obvious strength of the field and deserving favorite who’s 3rd dam produced the dam of Exaggerator
Early Tokyo Yushun (Japan Derby) thoughts (1/2)
- I think Forte Angelo is sitting on a big run at hopefully around 21-1
- Kafuji Emmental has some cool pedigree notes as he is half to Continuar and has Almond Eye connected to second Dam and he should be around 75-1
Tokyo Yushun part 2
- Reichsadler (12-1) 3rd dam is Turn Back the Alarm and have always been high on horse
- Bereshit (19-1) mom won Japanese Oaks and 6 Graded stakes. 2nd dam has ties to Dream Core who ran 2nd in oaks last week
Have watched this 100 times since last night. Incredible story and the crowd absolutely losing it is awesome. Can’t wait for Derby day next Saturday. JRA>>>>>>>>anything else

Star Anise has ran away in back to back G1s so somebody will have to step up. Maybe #3 Alankar can stay at a decent price. Longshot #11 Ametista

@barshoelife Shoe I talked to you before the Makers Mark about Zulu….not only did I put $50 to win on Zulu I then lost the ticket and my iPad. Either way nice talking.
