Parent and child's first undefeated triple crown horse father inherits the running of Deep Impact

Contrail is a male horse born in Niikappu, Hokkaido in 2017.



His father was undefeated in 2005 and became a triple crown horse. It is a characteristic.



Contrail was quiet and attracted attention by winning all the G1 races only for 2-year-old horses.



Last year, when he became a 3-year-old horse, he won the Satsuki Sho, Japan Derby, and Kikuka Sho, all three classic races without losing from his debut, and became the first parent and child to achieve the triple crown undefeated.



At last year's Japan Cup, Almond Eye, who had the highest number of eight wins in the G1 turf as a Japanese horse, and Daring Tact, who achieved the undefeated triple crown with a mare, drew a lot of attention.



Contrail chased Almond Eye, who took the lead in the last straight line, but allowed the 9th win in the turf G1 and finished 2nd.



After finishing 3rd in the April race, he avoided the summer race and entered the Emperor's Cup last month.

It was the most popular, but lost to Efforia, a 3-year-old horse who won the Satsuki Sho this year, and finished second.

Attention was focused on whether the Japan Cup, which will be the last run, could be used to decorate the final beauty.
