◆68th Arima Kinen G1 (December 24th, Nakayama Racecourse, turf 2500m = Good)
At the end of the day, the Grand Prix was contested by 16 horses, and the favorite to win, Justin Palace (4-year-old male, stabled by Haruki Sugiyama, sire Deep Impact), ridden by Takeshi Yokoyama, lost to 4th place. He was aiming to make a comeback following finishing 2nd in the previous race at the Tenno Sho Autumn, but was unable to win his second G1 victory, his first since the Tenno Sho Spring 2023.
He entered the race in 3rd place in the fan vote, the highest of any horse running. Trainer Haruki Sugiyama was born on December 24th on the day of the race, but he was unable to celebrate his 42nd birthday with a horse under his care.
In addition, Deep Impact’s offspring had a total of 71 wins in G1 and was tied for the lead with Sunday Silence’s offspring, but was left behind as the sole leader.
