Mainland Horse Partner Juxing Horse Food Express: In the HOPE STAKES (2000 meters) of the first-class race held in Nakayamacho, Japan, the 2-year-old stallion "Killer Ability" (maternal Killer Graces, maternal grandfather Conggaree) taught by Saito Takashi won the crown and became his father's "Deep Impact" (patrilineal "Sunday Tranquility"). Silence) is the 54th champion of the First Division.
In this competition, he was led by jockey Takeshi Yokoyama and defeated the "Juntiangong" (patrilineal "Great Shock") at the finish line with a half horse position. Lagulf (patrilineal "Full Of Time") trailed second place by a quarter and eventually finished third. Takeshi Yokoyama said: "I trained day and night on the saddle for two weeks, and I am confident that he can run well and fast. Our location was good, this little stallion could relax in the rear, and I was confident that he would win the championship. He will be able to go further. For me personally, the goal this season is to win a First Division title and another 100 wins. But the results of the five First Division winners were really unbelievable to me. I am very grateful for the support of all the owners and, of course, for the wonderful performances of the horses this season. Killer Graces (paternal Congaree), the mother of "Killer Ability", was a first-class winner in the United States, and she is also the half-sister of second-tier champion Chocolate Ride (paternal "Candy Fast Step").
