Held at the Tokyo Racecourse on Day 1Emperor’s Prize, Autumn(G1) is the most popularAlmond eyeHe achieved consecutive victories in response to the overwhelming popularity of winning 1.4 times. In addition to reaching the new Shiba G1 record and eighth victory, he proved his position as No. 1 in active duty.
Not surprisingly, C. Lemer, the main race, emphasized “pressure” many times in the interview with the winning rider. Since the Arima Memorial (G1) at the end of last year, which marked the first disastrous defeat of her career, the “prestige” of the strongest queen, who had a soft sail, gradually faded.
When the scheduled Dubai Turf (G1) was canceled due to the influence of the new corona virus this spring, he won the Victoria Mile (G1) against the mare, but at the Yasuda Memorial (G1) he was completely defeated by the next lower Queen Great Joy. . .. For Almond Eye, the content that is arguably the first loss was whispered by some media and fans as an “anxiety theory”.
However, this time it was a victory to dispel such noise. The strongest queen once again proved her prestige against six G1 horses.
When that happens, I am curious about the “future” of Almond Eye.
At Silk Racing, to which Almond Eye belongs, the queen is the last autumn horse race because retirement is stipulated in March at age six. Before the race, there was speculation among fans on the net that they would set an unprecedented record in the Emperor’s Prize drop and retire with the big circle.
However, in an interview with the winning rider, Lemer said: “She still wants to run.” In the future, he hopes to continue his active career, saying, “I think I can use it once or twice”, while doing so as a “choice between the trainer and the horse owner.”
Also, Sakae Kunieda, who looked back at the race and said, “I’m relieved,” said, “I want to talk to the owner and decide.” It seems to be there.
“Since there are only two G1s to be held in Japan in March next year, the Dirt Febrary S and the 1200m Takamatsunomiya Memorial, Almond Eye will probably be retiring within a year. If this horse is racing, either Japan C (G1) in November or Hong Kong International Race in December. Considering that the Arima Memorial (G1) at the end of the year was defeated last year, there is a possibility of challenge. I don’t think it’s expensive “(horse racing reporter)
In fact, Almond Eye has already entered for Hong Kong C (G1) and Hong Kong Miles (G1) in the Hong Kong International Race in December. Although I gave up last year due to the heat, if I only planned an expedition to Hong Kong once, I would be here.
However, many fans would like Japan C, where the triple-crown female’s Dearing Tact has announced it will begin, and the triple-crown mare’s contour camp is also eager.
“If Almond Eye, Contrail and Dearing Tact collide, I think there will only be Japan C this fall, both before and after.
Of course there are problems like conditions, but for Almond Eye camp, it is very big that G1’s shoulders and 8 wins have been unloaded by winning this Emperor’s Award / Autumn. If I had lost the Emperor’s Award in the fall, there would have been almost no Japan C challenge. “(Another reporter)
If Almond Eye, Contrail and Dearing Tact meet at Japan C this fall, the world of horse racing will be in full swing. Who is the really strong horse? That must be the true horse racing thrill that many fans want.
