Green Gruner (Jpn). Seven. He is the winner of your first bet from the three crops to the race.
Fifth pick on the chessboard with a score of 13-1, practitioner Ikuo Aizawa took the lead early on and finished the first round with a score of 24: flat, while being overwhelmed by Boy Bikini (Jpn) (Beach patrol {Jpn}). That pair ran in tandem from three stretches into the race, before Gruner Green took the lead on the track. Chestnuts were halfway through at 1:00.40, and showed no signs of weakening for a few periods after that, as the airport headed straight into the house.
Greatly organized by Mirco Demuro, with a score of 8-1 Top Knife (Jpn) (Declaration Of War) regrouped resolutely in the inner round, Gruner Green could only hold out with a tight scoreline. Wurttemberg (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}) made some late points to take third place, falling 1 1/4 of the length back.
Coming in third at the first claim of more than 2000 meters in Tokyo on October 9, Gruner Green graduated there with a stalking ride after cutting back to 1800 meters on October 29.
Genealogical Notes
With the oldest ponies just 4 years old, Lovely Day’s first bet winner and group winner was Gruner Green. He also has Praelude (Jpn) listed twice to his name.
Special Week (Jpn) mare Lady Derby (Jpn) placed three times in second and third, and hit the black with only her second pony, Jungle Pocket (Jpn) colt Verde Green (Jpn), who will go on to win a pair of Japanese team races. Now, with dozens of ponies on record, with 11 runners-up and eight winners, Lady Derby has been covered by Cheval Grand (Jpn), but no ponies have been reported this year. Second dam Umeno Fiber (Jpn) (Sakura Yutaka O {Jpn}), a champion in her hometown and the heroine of the 1999 Japanese Oaks team, is the grandma of the bet winner and Japan G1 runner-up 2000 Guineas Sans Rival (Jpn) ( Rule {Jpn})
