A carefully managed career ends Sunday afternoon for the three-time champion Gran Alegria (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), who faces a group of Japanese miners to defend his title in the G1 Mile S. Championship at Hanshin Racecourse.
Daughter of senior and Breeders’ Tapitsfly trophy winner (Tapit) has finished outside the top three only twice in 14 starts so far, including a fourth at G1 Osaka Hai in April, a dispute over unsuitable wet ground and a 2000-plus long ride meters have the ability to stretch her.

“With her speed, I think she should be able to get through the 2000 meters well, but when she turns around the bend at Tenno Sho, she has to be pushed earlier than usual,” said coach Kazuo Fujisawa, who each 5 times won said. of the race – like Gran Alegria – is about to retire. “It was a familiar course for her, but I think it was a bit long. This year, a wonderful foal appeared in the combination and this pony is about to retire. She is a horse that has given her everything since she was two years old, but I am asking her this, please give it all yours one more time. “
