Grandpa Pui bloodline strikes again on the British racecourses, while Minnie Hauk is 3rd again.

3rd place of Oka Sho '97 (the winner of the race was Kyoei March (grandmother of Marche Lorraine), while the second place was Mejiro Dober, who took victories on the later two Classics) - but never won the graded stakes afterwards.

Probably one of the oldest still living direct descendants of Sunday Silence (photo taken at anniversary of his death), currently living in small retirement farm Candy Farm in Urakawa.

T M Spada was the first horse on which Imamura won the graded stakes, with CBC Sho (G3) in 2022.

Even after badly losing at Derby, 2nd place of Yayoi Sho and 3rd placer of Satsuki Sho from Uehara team still doing good and not done yet, and won today as the favorite horse - though because of his way getting out of blocking near the finishing line his jockey Sasaki got the suspension today.

Seems like he's preparing for AkiTen, based on the distance?

4-year-old (sire: Constitution) owned by Susumu Fujita advanced to open class - but ironically all his previous victories before today, outside the debut race, were in local races on Kawasaki racecourse.

Honestly, one of the most promising Shiplings born in this generation with his consistency.

3-year-old Tommy Barows getting opening only at final 200m and completely obliterating everyone with the final spurt.

Let's see the pedigree... WAIT A SECOND, THE GREAT GRANDSON OF BIWA HEIDI?

Even at presence of Yutaka Take, Triple 📞rown still being himself.

And for bonus: Take-san looking at newly arrived to Shadai Stallion Jantar Mantar, and also being near the stable of F4 (and getting stared at by him).
