With L'Arc Hype lets hyped up Japan current most famous trainer interview

https://gendai.media/articles/-/166968

seen this article spread on X and it basically explain everything what Yoshito yahagi experienced himself, and basically confirmed these :

1.Australia not preferable for expedition due to stricter regulation

2.Famous Dubai,Saudi,HK and even U.S racing are invitational based

3.Lots of money needed to think for Europe Expedition, since they are self funded, but Yahagi also mention subvention possible.

Point 2 and 3 are main factors, when you are invited , you probably only spend money for travel, once you get there they will provide hospitality for free, the horse get from their grazing pastures and stables.

for L'Arc travel you need to prepare everything from registering which not guarantee an entry, also need to renting a stable and pasture in France which also expensive.

I also realized something Yahagi is 65 and born in march, and time is tickling, he won't even train Forever young's first crop ... (well he can but he won't see them race in classics as his trained racehorses). sad =(

Instead Of L'Arc chopping block, Now I am more curious which asshole Japan gonna send this December to try stop Romantic warrior from getting his 5th Hong Kong Cup Title ?

Only 5 Equinox yearlings? I expected more considering its THE silk stallion. I guess they don't want to put too many horses at very high price.

No Pixie Knight which is sad, its another G1 winner owner by Silk. Does he have any yearling by Sunday or Shadai?

Croix Du Nord beating his uncle who have just discharged from hospital

A sight I never want to see

It's Tabaru, who's yet to know what hell he comes into for his return to Hanshin.

But honestly with the recent incidents at Kyoto Racecourse it's probably for the best.

Fingers crossed for the first spring triple crown!

I am creating this thread because many people misunderstand that Byzantine Dream and Sugar Kun can run in the 2026 Takarazuka Kinen. There is absolutely no way. Their fan vote rankings are way too low—37th and not even in the top 50, respectively. On top of that, neither of them has won any major stakes races recently.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get a seat for myself. It was a lovely race! Please excuse me by yelling!
