TENNO SHO (SPRING) 2026
(G1 / Kyoto / 3200m)
๐ฐ1st : ยฅ300,000,000
๐ฅ Croix du Nord
(Kitasan Black x Rising Cross (Cape Cross))
A Kitasan Black one-two finish
Race Splits:
12.9-11.3-11.8-11.9-12.0-11.6-11.8-13.2-13.1-12.0-12.6-12.4-11.7-11.7-11.6-12.1
It turned into a long sustained drive over the final four furlongs, but the early stages were not slow either. The race shape strongly favored the closers.
Even with only a narrow margin at the finish, Croix du Nord was far stronger than the result itself suggests.
With this victory, he has now won G1 races at all four of the JRAโs major racecourses.
this mark the first attempt for Kitasan Black offsprings to try and conquer G1 Tenno Sho Spring
and both of them finished 1st and 2nd :)
congratulations Croix du Nord! ๐ฅ
we get him next time Wurttemberg!! ๐ฅ
Croix du Nord before Osaka Hai
vs
Croix du Nord before Tenno Sho (Spring)
he feels rather freshed out after running Osaka Hai and seems to be in top form, I think he should be able to one up his last performance
