This time, I would like to introduce Japanese horses who have run mainly in Japan.

In short, they are the horses who went to foreign countries and won races there.

First of all, from horses that won GI races overseas.

The order of introduction is in the order of Aiueo, the Japanese alphabet and there is no particular meaning in the order.

Japanese horses who have run mainly in the country

The mark 👑 in front of names shows that the horses are winners of GⅠ races overseas.

Today I would like to introduce four horses, all of which have won overseas GI races.

👑Vivlos

Race she won: Dubai Turf 2017 (GⅠ)

The Dubai Turf in 2017 is the only race that she went abroad and won.  It was her first race in a country outside Japan.

Jockey Moreira rode very well in this race, and I thought he was really outstanding.

You may think that Vivlos was able to win the race because the jockey rode her.

However, please see below.

2018, 2019 Dubai Turf  Second place

2018 Hong Kong Mile  Second place

She ran overseas in the above four races only.

In other words, she won or finish second in all the races!!

During this time, she ran in the Nakayama Kinen and the Tenno Sho Autumn in Japan and finished in 8th place.

The other two races in Japan were also 4th and 5th.

Foreign jockeys rode her in all the four overseas races, but jockeys were different in the races.

2018 Dubai Turf Jockey Christian Demuro
2018 Hong Kong Mile Jockey Buick
2019 Dubai Turf Jockey Barzalona

What I want to say is that her good runs abroad are not just due to Jockey Moreira.

In the Dubai Turf, she won or finished second for three consecutive years.

So, I can’t deny that the racecourse suited her.

But even in Hong Kong, she was in second place …

Vivlos was a small horse and her maximum weight was 440 kg when she was active.

I assumed she would not be able to run well in foreign countries as she was small.

I thought she would lose her appetite when she was transported overseas.

However, she achieved such good results abroad.

I would like to ask her why she was so strong overseas.

👑A Shin Hikari

Race he won: Hong Kong Cup 2015 (GⅠ)、Prix d’Ispahan 2016 (GⅠ)

Vivlos and A Shin Hikari … They are unique horses.

I wonder if such distinctive characters are needed to win big races overseas.

Jockey Yutaka Take had rode him since the Miyakooji Stakes in May 2015 when he was active.

For this reason, the jockey rode him in both of the two races that he won overseas.

Vivlos won the Shuka Sho (GⅠ) in Japan, but A Shin Hikari couldn’t win a GI race in the country.

I didn’t honestly feel that he could run well in Europe as he was a front-runner, although he might be able to achieve a different result in Hong Kong.

So, when I heard that he would go to Europe, I thought, “Why bother?”

Yes, it was me who was wrong. I still remember his strong win in the Prix d’Ispahan.

He could not come to top places in the next race, the Prince of Wales Stakes (GI) of Royal Ascot, although he was a favorite then.

The ground was so heavy due to consecutive rain.

He participated in the Hong Kong Cup again in 2016, but he could not come to top places.

He retired after the race.

However, I think the record of 4 starts and 2 wins in the races overseas are good enough.

After retiring, he became a stallion in Japan, and his children are running well.

With such good results overseas, I sometimes wonder what it would have been like for him to be a stallion overseas.

It would be fun if some of his children would succeed overseas.

Kizuna

Overseas Race he won: Prix Niel 2013 (GⅡ)

As you know, Kizuna is a GI horse who won the Japanese Derby.

However, since he didn’t win a GI race overseas, he is treated as “a winner of a graded race” in this page.

After winning the Derby, Kizuna went to France in the fall of 3 years old and participated in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

The prep race was the Prix Niel.

It became a hot topic because he defeated a British Derby winner of the year, Ruler of the World.

He finished fourth in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.  Orfevre also participated in the same race, finishing second.

The winner was Treve.

Orfevre was 5 lengths behind her, so it was a race that the winner was strong.

After this, some children of Deep Impact ran in the race. I think that it was a good fight to be in fourth place at the age of 3.

Winning GI in Japan at the age of three and winning a graded race overseas would be even more praiseworthy.

Kizuna only traveled abroad at the age of three.

He retired after running in the Tenno Sho Spring in 2015. He is now a stallion.

His chidren are running very well, and the winning rate seems to be very high.

Currently, it can be said that he is the leading successor to his sire.

I hope that he will stay healthy and continue to produce good children for many years to come.

👑Glory Vase

Race he won: Hong Kong Vase 2019 and 2021 (GⅠ)

He is the only horse who is still active as a racehorse among the horses I introduce today. He turned 6 years old this year.

This is the first time I’ve covered him in this blog, so I’ll write his profile.

Glory Vase

Born on March 2, 2015

Sire: Deep Impact (JPN) Dam: Mejiro Tsubone (JPN)

Dam’s sire: Swept Overboard (USA)

Owner: Silk Racing

Trainer: Tomohito Ozeki

Lifetime record: 13 starts for 5 wins

Main races he won: Hong Kong Vase 2019 (GⅠ)、Nikkei Shinsyun Hai 2019 (GⅡ), Kyoto Daishoten 2020 (GⅡ)

As you know, Glory Vase has not yet won a GI race in Japan.

Given that he is 6 years old this year, I don’t think he has much time left.

However, I hope he will manage to win a GI race in Japan as well.

It was Jockey Moreira who rode him in the Hong Kong Vase. He was amazing as expected.

Lucky Lilac, who retired the other day, finished second in this race, three and a half lengths behind the winner.

Among many children of Deep Impact, A Shin Hikari has won the highest international rating of 129.

Glory Vase received the second highest rating of 125. I think that the Hong Kong Vase race was highly evaluated.

He ran in three races only in 2020 and was decided not to run in the Arima Kinen.

I hope that he will be in good physical condition this year and win races.

Glory Vase also won the 2021 Hong Kong Vase🎉 Click here on the details.

👑Gentildonna

Race she won: Dubai Sheema Classic 2014 (GI)

The great thing about Gentildonna is that her win in the race is just one of her great achievements.

After winning the Japan Cup at the age of three, she traveled overseas for the first time in the following year.

She ran in the same race, the Dubai Sheema Classic, but she finished second.

The winner, St Nicholas Abbey was strong.

However, she went overseas and ran in a night race for the first time then.

According to her trainer, she did not seem to fully understand that she ran in a race on the day.

However, in the following year, both her connections and she herself were firmly determined to win and participated in the same race.

Jocky Moore rode her then.

It was said that Magician trained by Aidan O’Brien was a strong rival.

I was impressed by the comment of Naohiro Goda, who explained in the race broadcast on the Green Channel,

“I want Moore to do something about it.”

That’s because the jockey rode Magician and won the Breeders’ Cup Turf before this race.

He knew his characteristics well.

And, as Mr. Goda said, the jockey managed to do it!

He changed the course boldly in the home straight where their path in the front was blocked and there was nothing they could do.

Gentildonna immediately followed his instruction and pierced through to finish first. It was great. I was so excited.

She retired after winning the Arima Kinen this year, so It was only the two races abroad that she ran in.

The results of second and first place in the big overseas race , Dubai Sheema Classic are still wonderful.

She has won seven GIs.

It’s amazing that she won big GI races that male horses also ran in, except for the three races that were only for fillies.

👑Shahryar

Race he won: Dubai Sheema Classic 2022 (GⅠ)

I introduce his profile first.

Shahryar

Born on April 13, 2018

Sire: Deep Impact (JPN) Dam: Dubai Majesty Me (USA)

Dam’s sire: Essence of Dubai (USA)

Owner: Sunday Racing

Trainer: Hideaki Fujiwara

Lifetime record: 18 starts for 4 wins

Main races he won: Tokyo Yushun 2019 (GI), Dubai Sheema Classic 2022 (GⅠ)

He is a full brother to Al Ain, a dual GI winner in the Satsuki-sho in 2017 and the Osaka-hai in 2019.

2021 Japanese Derby winner, Shahryar.

He is the first derby horse who won an overseas GI.

After finishing 3rd in the Japan Cup last year, he took a rest.

The Dubai Sheema Classic was his first race this year.

I’m really sorry, I’m sorry, but I didn’t really expect much this time.

He was abroad in the first race of this season.

I also heard the news that he lost weight after arriving in Dubai.

However, with Jockey Christian Demuro on his back, he ran smoothly and finally passed Authority, another Japanese horse.

He stayed at the front despite Yibir’s frantic run in the home straight.

I was very happy to see his strength again.

Many people praise the strength of Yibir, but Jockey Demuro said,

He had more room than you could see.

 

Shahryar, who wisely followed the race and won the victory, is also worth being praised.

The trainer Fujiwara, who manages him, is looking to enter the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

I think Shahryar is particularly good in a light track among children of Deep Impact.

So I wonder if he would suit the race.

It can be said that the reason why Shahryar became the first Derby winner who won an overseas GI is that all the other horses ran in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

However, Trainer Fujiwara has a track record that made Tosen Ra, who had run in long distance races win a GⅠmile.

He is a trainer who is highly evaluated for his training method that suits races he aimed for.

If he trains Shahryar to participate in the race, a good result might be expected.

The Japan Cup and Breeders’ Cup were also mentioned as the target of Shahryar.

Therefore, at this stage, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe may be just one of the candidates.

It’s great that Shahryar, who specializes in a light track, won the Dubai race this time.

I think it’s difficult for horses to travel abroad twice a year.

When I thought so, I remembered that there was a child of Deep impact who easily did that.

It was the one introduced above.

I want Shahryar to continue running safely no matter what kind of plan he has in the future.

And I also hope he will be a good stallion after his retirement.

 

So far, I have introduced the four Japanese horses by Deep Impact who have won GI races overseas.

Every horse was unique and I enjoyed writing.

Next time will be the last, but I will continue to introduce his children who won overseas grade races.
