Horse racing Yasuda Memorial almond eye is not the second G1 record update

Horse racing Yasuda Memorial almond eye does not set second G1 record, June 7 16:59

The Yasuda Memorial of horse racing was held, and the almond eye, which aimed at the eighth consecutive victory of the Japanese horse in the G1 race of the turf, was the 2nd place and the record could not be updated.

The race was contested on a 1600-meter turf course at the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu, Tokyo, with 14 horses running.

Last month, the Almond Eye, which has set the record for the G1 and seventh win in the same course, was the most popular, with a win of 1.3 times.

Alliedeye, who had a bridle by Jockey Christoph Lemer, lost a third place last year and was slightly behind in the start, advancing to the rear.

And although he caught up on the last straight line, he could not catch the third most popular Gran Alegria in last year's Sakuraka Award horse that came out earlier, and lost to the second place with a difference of two horses.

The record of the number of Japanese horses winning the Shiba G1 race has not been renewed for 35 years since Cymborildorf, who was called the "Emperor", won his first seven wins in 1985, and this time the almond eye was lost. Will continue to be the focus of attention.

Jockey Ikezoe of Gran Alegria Riding "Worthful Victory"

Kenichi Ikezoe, who was riding the Grand Alegria who won the Yasuda Memorial over the almond eye, said, ``I had a leading horse behind me, but I thought the almond eye would move with confidence, so the last Desperately chased the horse. He did his best and was a valuable victory against the great members."
