[Intermediate training]Won the Keisei Cup in January with a sharp step. In the spring classic performance, they finished 6th in the Satsuki Sho and 8th in the Japanese Derby, and did not win or lose. After that, he announced that he would devote the summer to rest, and that he would start from the Centlight Memorial early in the fall. He returned to Miho on August 19 as planned. At the first clock on the 25th, Shigeru Kojima rode, and immediately put three horses together against two two-year-old new horses. Due to the difference in dignity, he was able to join the chase, and it seems that the care at the ranch was going well. Since then, he has used both wood and slope, and has made careful adjustments. Akira Sugawara jockeyed on September 8th, one week ahead, and three horses chasing two horses with wood. When I got out in the middle of the straight line, Kuragami chased firmly so as not to let his guard down, and each of them came in ahead by a large difference of four lengths.

[Final overtaking]During the week of the race, Shigeru Kojima will be on horseback with Wood. If you attach to the opponent with corner work, the gear will not go up and you will run side by side to love the opponent. When the commander lightly sent the go-ahead at the last minute, he reacted quickly and finished half a horse length away.

[Opinion]The watch face is not that flashy, but the number is more than enough. In order not to get too emotional, the amount of training is emphasized rather than the load. There is calmness, and the leg handling that is set up is light. Unfortunately, there is no mood for the Kikuka-sho, Emperor-sho, and Autumn, so I’m going to give it all I have here, which is close to the best conditions.
