Post-race feedback
1st Danon Smash (Jockey Kawada)
“I won the GI in Hong Kong at the end of last year, but I’m glad I got the title in Japan.
(The rain) was a great point, but I didn’t think of anything and let the horse run as it wanted. Resistance was in front of me and I was able to go with a good pace.
Turn 4 was an outstanding response, a path was made and the competition with Resistencia continued for a long time, but it was the best that he showed his will and won.
I am sorry for the result of last year, but I am grateful for the result.
I have a good horse on board (for the second victory in a row in the group race). I want this horse to go smoothly where it should go. “
(Takayuki Yasuda’s coach)
“This victory is full of joy.
Today’s slime was pretty bad so I thought I had to leave it up to Jockey Kawada. And unsurprisingly, it was a nice spray.
The pace along the way was good, it was an exquisite race, and in the end it was a squeaky difference and it came out. In the rain, it’s peeling off and it’s getting stronger. I realized once more that I came here and became wonderfully strong.
I am registered for the President’s Sprint Award in Hong Kong on April 25, but if I am very tired, I would like to freshen up. “
2nd place Resistance (Suguru Hamanaka)
“I think the horse was calm and the atmosphere was good. It was a way to leave the start in five minutes and let the horse go and refrain from doing it, but the horse was fine. I wanted to live up to my expectations with a sudden change, but I’m sorry. The horse felt the power. “
3rd place Indy Champion (rider Yuichi Fukunaga)
“I was able to run the 1200m flow and used my legs responsively until the very end. Even at 1200m, I was able to run in a well balanced way without spinning and without losing distance.
4th place Turave Surah (Katsuma Sameshima rider)
“It was not popular, but I thought this course in Chukyo was suitable. Originally it was a horse with high skill, and today I thought about running with good pace, and I continued with the race while watching Danon Smash. difference in clothing. “
5th Mozu Superflare (Matsuwaka Fuma Jockey)
“I got off to a good start from the inside box. I was able to get it going with a good pace, but by turn four I was picking up speed while slipping on the bad inside taxiing. Still, I’m trying my best.”
6th Sound Chiara (Kouhei Matsuyama Jockey)
“He was a power hungry Baba, but I think he did the best he could to the end.”
Ninth Seiun Kosei (Hideaki Miyuki Jockey)
“He was as responsive as when I won this race, but in the end my legs went up.
14th Lauda Sion (M. Demuro Jockey)
“The atmosphere was good and I felt really good. I thought I was in a good position, but I felt like I was too good at it and I got caught in some heavy ground.”
