Horse Racing News for Overseas:
In Japan, on days when major races such as the Japanese Derby are held, some racegoers sprint as soon as the gates open in an attempt to secure the best seats before anyone else.
Among fans, this rush is sometimes jokingly compared to a horse race itself and referred to by nicknames such as ‘The 0th Race of the Day’ or the ‘Opening Gate Stakes.’🤣
So, in summary...
Now we have two racehorses that will try to attempt to get the third crown to become a Triple Crown winner!
For the Spring Triple Crown:
Croix du Nord.
And for the Classic Triple Crown:
Lovcen.
Come to think of it
if you were a fan after Uma Musume S1, you'd see Almond Eye
if you became a fan after S2, you'd witness Contrail and Daring Tact
if you became a fan since last year, maybe...
All Japanese Derby winners in the past 10 years were 504kg or lower. Lovcen is not only a 3x G1 winner, a Double Crown winner, but he is also the BIGGEST Japanese Derby winner in the past 10 years weighing 522kg!!
Lovcen captured the second jewel of the Triple Crown with his Japan Derby triumph!!!
Remarkably, this is now the third straight year that the Japan Derby winner has been sired by a Kikuka Sho winner!
Let's promise ourselves never to fall into something as meaningless as racism.
I simply want a better society and a richer culture, and I believe that, deep down, everyone wants the same thing.
Hurting someone takes only a moment. Living with the fact that you did can take a lifetime.
I will continue doing everything I can to create a better future.
For that, I need all of you.
RAAOOO!!!
Make sure to listen to my new original song DRAW!! 🎨✨
I did my best with it and even though I know I still have so much to improve, I really hope you’ll like it and give it a chance!
Thank you so much for all your support 🩷
