Takamatsunomiya Kinen (G1) - Preview

20 Mar 5:04 pm

Top racing action is back just over a month from the February Stakes. This Sunday, March 24, Nagoya’s Chukyo Racecourse will host 2019’s first Grade 1 event over turf – the 1,200-meter Takamatsunomiya Kinen, a race that decides the spring’s top sprinter.

Twenty-two horses 4 years old and up, including seven fillies and mares, have been nominated for the race’s 49th running. Eighteen of those, ranging in age from 4 to 11, will leave the gate at 3:40 p.m. Sunday. The final draw will be announced on Friday morning.

This year puts the spotlight on champion sprinter Lord Kanaloa’s first crop, represented here by expected race favorite Danon Smash, but any number of newcomers or veterans could conceivably take home the ¥110 million winner’s share. The favorite has only won three times in the past 10 runnings, but double-digit picks have made it into the top three just as often.

Races are run to the left at Chukyo, as they are at Tokyo and Niigata. Like Tokyo, Chukyo is not for lightweights. The course slopes upwards after turning into the straight and continues to the finish for over 400 meters, demanding both power and stamina.

The Takamatsunomiya Kinen is the 11th race of 12 on Sunday at Chukyo Racecourse.

Fillies and mares carry 55 kg, all others 57 kg.

Here’s at look at some of the expected top picks.

Danon Smash – The Lord Kanaloa-sired 4-year-old Danon Smash has brought home 4 wins and a second since moving to 6 furlongs, thus winning him the lion’s share of attention going into the Takamatsunomiya Kinen. His last three starts, all Grade 3 events, saw him finish second behind Nac Venus in the Keeneland Cup at Sapporo last summer, scoop the Nov. 25 Keisei Hai at Kyoto and start this year with a win of the Silk Road Stakes at Kyoto in January. He’s quick out of the gate, moves easily to within striking distance and has excellent responses and speed. This fellow is considered ready for a Grade 1 win. He’s best over fast ground but has fared well over softer. Though his three starts racing to the left have failed to bring him a win, he did run second in his debut at Niigata. Trainer Takayuki Yasuda is optimistic. “Physically, he’s much more solid compared to last year.” Slated for the ride is the Ritto-based Yuichi Kitamura, who has ridden Smash’s last six runs. Kitamura debuted in 2006 and despite 45 Grade 1 experiences to date and a formidable 90 JRA wins last year, is still gunning for a top-level victory.

Mozu Superflare – Taking on her first Grade 1 is the American-bred speedster Mozu Superflare, a 4-year-old by Speightstown, winner of the 2004 Breeders’ Cup Sprint. Mozu Superflare, with six wins from 14 starts has had difficulty settling and though she still lacks patience, she has matured to where she can hold her ground. She has made the top three in her last five starts, moved slowly up in level and captured her first graded-stakes race last out wire to wire in the 1,200-meter Yukan Fuji Sho Ocean Stakes on March 2 at Nakayama. She clocked 11.4 seconds over the first furlong, covered the first half in 32.3 seconds and still had enough to give for a 34.8 over the latter half and was able to top Nac Venus by over a length. Previously raced twice at Chukyo, Mozu Superflare’s last run there brought her a fifth in the Chunichi Sports Sho Falcon Stakes (G3, 1,400 meters) last March. “She’s totally different from that race,” says trainer Hidetaka Otonashi. “She’s much stronger now.” However, the Takamatsunomiya Kinen has only been won twice wire to wire since the race became a Grade 1 race in 1996. Shonan Kampf (represented here by Love Kampf) did it in 2002 and Laurel Guerreiro in 2009. Expected to be in the saddle is Yutaka Take, who rode the winner in this year’s February Stakes. Take is two for two with Mozu Superflare.

Let’s Go Donki – Runnerup in both last year’s race and the year previous, 2015 Oka Sho winner Let’s Go Donki is taking on the Takamatsunomiya Kinen for four years straight. Though now 7 years old, this daughter of King Kamehameha is giving little indication of slowing down. After her Takamatsunomiya Kinen run last year, she made the board in five of six starts, three of them Grade 1 level events. Last out she ran second in her first start of the year, the Hankyu Hai, (G3, 1,400 meters) at Hanshin on Feb. 24. Always a big girl, she weighed in at 506 kg and is expected to show improvement this time out. Let’s Go Donki has won only one win in her 25 starts following her Oka Sho victory, but she has consistently finished in second or third place despite being given a rather mixed bag of turf and dirt races and distances from 6 to 8 furlongs. She should be fresher this year, not having had a Hong Kong trip to recover from as she did last year and also having skipped the February Stakes.

Nac Venus – Nac Venus surprised as the third-place finisher last year at only 10th pick of the day, which helped boost the winning trifecta to an over 600-fold return. Like last year, the now 6-year-old daughter of Daiwa Major is going in to the Takamatsunomiya Kinen off a second-place finish in the March 2 Ocean Stakes at Nakayama. But unlike last year, she sat out the Silk Road Stakes after running in the Carbuncle Stakes in early January. She has held her ground admirably in both her last two starts running second behind Mozu Superflare, even doing so running under a full 5 kg less in the Carbuncle Stakes. With only two full weeks between races, trainer Hiroaki Sugiura says he’s giving Nac Venus relatively light work. “Her summer bids at Sapporo and Hakodate did affect her autumn starts (a seventh in the Grade 1 Sprinters Stakes and 15th in the open-class JBC Sprint), but this time she’ll go to the gate in better shape.”

Dea Regalo – The 5-year-old Dea Regalo aced her last start, the Feb. 16 Kyoto Himba Stakes (G3, 1,400 meters), even though her weight had increased 32 kg since her race 3 1/2 months prior. Still, it represented only a 10-kg increase from her top weight of 476 kg the year before for the same race. Trainer Masahiro Otake says, “Last out, I think her being a bit heavy may have helped her mentally, or maybe it was the fast pace. I think it will be much busier this time over 6 furlongs and she is, as before, looking quite big. She came back from the farm at 500 kg and her weight may be up from last start.” A chronic poor starter, the daughter of Manhattan Cafe is also now consistently sharp out of the gate. One concern is the fact that she has failed to perform to the left, having finished 16th and 6th in her only two counterclockwise starts, both at Tokyo.

Logi Cry – The Heart’s Cry-sired 6-year-old Logi Cry is being given the first 1,200-meter race of his career, which has thus far brought him five wins from 16 outings, with a total 10 finishes in the top three spots. Having been raced all but once over the mile, he took on 1,400 meters for the first time last out in the Hankyu Hai (G3, Hanshin) on Feb. 24. He finished third just over 2 lengths off the winner. “With the long homestretch at Chukyo, I think he should be able to handle his first 1,200,” says trainer Naosuke Sugai. Experienced racing to the left, Logi Cry ran second last year in the Toyota Sho Chukyo Kinen, a Grade 3 mile at the Nagoya track. He recently clocked a personal best up the hill course.

Daimei Princess – The 6-year-old Daimei Princess was sired by 2000 Takamatsunomiya Kinen champion King Halo. Now 25 races into her career, Daimei Princess only stepped up to the graded-stakes level last summer and took on her first Grade 1 last September – the Sprinters Stakes at Nakayama. She finished fourth in that only 0.2 seconds behind winner Fine Needle and ahead of Let’s Go Donki and Nac Venus. Though her results were poor in her two races hence (a sixth in the Silk Road Stakes on Jan. 27 and a 10th in the Ocean Stakes on March 2) and she has been slow out of the gate over her last three starts, Daimei Princess shouldn’t be dismissed.

* * *
Another to watch is Ares Barows, who has won at the Grade 3 level over the Chukyo 1,200. Last out, he overcame a wide draw to finish fifth in the Silk Road Stakes only 0.4 seconds behind winner Danon Smash, who carried 1 kg less. Also interesting is Mr Melody, who though 7th in the Hankyu Hai, finished only 0.1 seconds behind Logi Cry in that race after bumping into another horse coming into the stretch. It will be Mr Melody’s first 1,200 on turf, but he has proven successful at Chukyo at the Grade 3 level over 7 furlongs.

Inti Secures Seventh Consecutive Victory in Februa18 Feb 10:10 am

Race favorite Inti extended his winning streak to seven by capturing his first G1 title in this year’s February Stakes. The son of Came Home marked a ninth in his debut start and had been undefeated in all six starts that followed up to his latest Tokai Stakes (G2, dirt, 1,800m) triumph four weeks earlier. Overcoming issues concerning recovery from fatigue which forced him to limit his starts to three in both the 2017 and 2018 season, the lightly raced five-year-old now boasts a record of seven out of eight, all on dirt over 1,700 or 1,800m distances. Trainer Kenji Nonaka celebrates his eighth graded win and first JRA-G1 title since opening his yard in 2008. Since his latest 2017 Arima Kinen victory with Kitasan Black, this is jockey Yutaka Take’s 76th overall JRA-G1 win and fifth February Stakes title—Gold Allure (2003), Kane Hekili (2006), Vermilion (2008) and Copano Rickey (2015).

While defending champion Nonkono Yume missed his break, the rest of the field broke smoothly with Inti sent to the lead to set the pace chased by Sunrise Soar and Success Energy in second and third. Yutaka Take produced a perfect ride driving the five-year-old chestnut to victory while repelling a determined challenge from runner-up Gold Dream to land a neck win.

“The horse broke well and we were able to take the lead and set at an ideal pace. He was a bit too eager in the post parade and I was worried that he had used up his energy, but we secured a safe lead at the last turn and he showed amazing strength to the wire. He has so much potential, we have a lot to look forward to in his future starts,” commented Yutaka Take.

After settling in mid-field, 2017 champion and last year’s runner-up Gold Dream shot out of the chasing group with a good burst of speed 300 meters out and threatened the leader with the fastest late charge but was a neck short in second.

Eighth favorite Yuranoto ran on the rails in mid-division right beside Gold Dream up to the final turn and found a narrow path to advance to third at the furlong marker but proved no match for the winner finishing four lengths from the runner-up in third.

Under Nanako Fujita, who became the first Japanese female jockey to ride in a G1 event, fourth pick Copano Kicking trailed in the rear and lost ground going wide on both turns. The Spring At Last gelding showed the second fastest late drive but had too much ground to make up and finished a six-length fifth. “I am truly grateful to all who made it possible for myself to ride in this race. I have experienced this course numerous times before but today, everything looked totally different,” commented Nanako Fujita after the race.

Other Horses:
4th: (8) Moanin—traveled in 5th, showed tenacious effort while no match for top 2 finishers
6th: (10) Sunrise Soar—stalked leader in 2nd, ran gamely up to furlong pole, outrun
7th: (7) Sunrise Nova—settled 3-wide 3rd from rear, passed tired rivals at stretch
8th: (5) Success Energy—chased leaders in 3rd along rails, weakened in last 200m
9th: (9) Wonder Lider—raced 3-wide in 4th, ran willingly until 200m pole, gradually dropped back
10th: (14) Omega Perfume—sat around 8th outside Gold Dream, never fired at stretch
11th: (1) Queen’s Saturn—saved ground 2nd from rear, angled out, even paced
12th: (12) Nobo Baccara—traveled 3-wide in 11th, showed little at straight
13th: (13) Nonkono Yume—was off slow, made headway on outer route, failed to respond at stretch
14th: (4) Meisho Utage—hugged rails in 10th, showed brief effort, fell back after furlong pole

February Stakes (G1) - Preview12 Feb 6:37 pm

Grade 1 horseracing action in Japan returns for the first time in 2019, when the February Stakes will be run at Tokyo Racecourse next Sunday (February 17). The 36th running of the race kicks off the top level races which increase in frequency from March. The February Stakes is run over a mile on the dirt course, although the start is on turf, just off the main oval dirt track. The race was originally known as the February Handicap back in 1984, when it was a Grade 3. It was upped to Grade 2 status in 1994, when it became known as the February Stakes. Final changes came when it was made a Grade 1 race in 1997, and an international Grade 1 in 2007.

This year there have been 18 nominations for a maximum field of 16, and another competitive field of top class dirt horses looks sure to line up at Tokyo on Sunday. The race is for 4-year-olds and up, with a set weight of 57 kg, with fillies and mares claiming a 2 kg allowance. Since the year 2000, nine 5-year-olds have won, while next best have been 4-year-olds, claiming the race seven times over that period. First favorites lack a bit of a grip on the race, with just three winning in the last ten years, the last being Copano Rickey in 2015. Record time for the February Stakes is 1 minute 34.0 seconds, set by Moanin in 2016.

Some of the step races leading up to this year’s February Stakes have included the Grade 1 Tokyo Daishoten, held at Oi last December over 2,000 meters, the Grade 3 Negishi Stakes over 1,400 meters at Tokyo in January, and the Grade 2 Tokai TV Hai Tokai Stakes run over 1,800 meters at Chukyo, also last month. A number of the runners are coming off runs in these races and will be battling it out again for this Sunday’s ¥100 million winner’s check. The February Stakes will be Race 11 on the Sunday card at Tokyo, with a post time in Japan of 15.40.

Here’s a look at some of the runners expected to head the betting market:

Inti: Something of a revelation on the dirt racing scene in Japan, Inti keeps being given stronger tests and keeps passing them with flying colors, as the 5-year-old has now won six straight races, five of them as favorite. His latest win came in the Grade 2 Tokai TV Hai Tokai Stakes over 1,800 meters at Chukyo in January. Trainer Kenji Nonaka is hoping the horse can give him his first Grade 1 victory. “It was a real test for him last time, but he got to the front and put in a strong run to win the race. There’s a slight concern with him racing left-handed and how he corners out of the backstretch, but I was satisfied enough last time,” the trainer said. Inti will be ridden by four time February Stakes winner, Yutaka Take.

Gold Dream: The 6-year-old needs no introduction to racing fans in Japan, taking out the Grade 1 dirt double of the February Stakes and the Champions Cup in 2017, as well as finishing second in last year’s February Stakes. He’s finished first or second in his last six races, and his recent partner, Christophe Lemaire, will be in the saddle again. Trainer Osamu Hirata commented on the horse: ”It’s been the usual pattern with him, giving him a break at Northern Farm Shigaraki. He came back to the stable on the 23rd of last month, and everything’s fine with him, including a piece of uphill work in around 52 seconds on the 30th, when he moved very well.”

Omega Perfume: The 4-year-old colt by Swept Overboard has only been unplaced once in nine starts (which have included five wins) and that was when he was fifth in last year’s Grade 1 Champions Cup. The Shadai Farm bred colt was a great buy at the 2017 Chiba Thoroughbred Sale. His trainer Shogo Yasuda said, “He had a break at the farm after the Tokyo Daishoten, and has come back refreshed, weighing about 460 kg, which is good for his workload. I’m not worried about the race over 1,600 meters at Tokyo.”

Copano Kicking: Nanako Fujita will make history when she rides Copano Kicking on Sunday, becoming the first ever female JRA jockey to ride in a Grade 1 race. Copano Kicking is an American bred by Spring At Last, and has won his last four races, which have included two Grade 3s, the latest the Negishi Stakes over 1,400 meters at Tokyo in January. All three Grade 1 wins for trainer Akira Murayama have come in the February Stakes, and he’s hoping he can grab the headlines here. He recently commented: “The horse took up a good position in his last race before going on to win well. It was a strong performance, and while not perfect, it shows me he’s capable of running a good race from any position.”

Sunrise Soar: The Symboli Kris S 5-year-old chased home Best Dirt Horse for 2018 Le Vent Se Leve to finish third in last year’s Grade 1 Champions Cup, and is a horse that likes to be prominent in a race and give it his all, no matter what the distance. He’ll be ridden for the first time on Sunday by jockey Hironobu Tanabe, who teams up with trainer Hiroshi Kawachi. The trainer said, “In the horse’s races last autumn, he didn’t win, but put in some good runs against Grade 1 performers. He’s getting better as he matures, and he hasn’t been losing weight between his last workouts and getting to the track on race days.”
A couple of other horses should also be mentioned. Worthy of note is the other Sunrise runner, Sunrise Nova, and last year’s February Stakes winner, Nonkono Yume. While the former could only finish eighth last time in the Grade 3 Negishi Stakes, it shouldn’t detract from his overall good record of finishing in the first three 13 times from 20 starts, and a generally good track record at Tokyo. Nonkono Yume would just need a slightly better break from the gate and to not be too far behind turning for home, when the now 7-year-old gelding really finds his best turn of foot to finish strongly down the long Tokyo homestraight.

Saturnalia Continues Undefeated with G1 Hopeful St29 Dec 10:28 am

Heavy favorite Saturnalia won his first G1 title while undefeated in three career starts since debuting in June and coming off his latest victory in the Hagi Stakes in October. The son of legendary sprinter Lord Kanaloa is out of Cesario, winner of the Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks)-American Oaks double in 2005, who has also produced two previous G1 winners, Epiphaneia [2013 Kikuka Sho (Japanese St. Leger), 2014 Japan Cup] and Leontes [2015 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes]. Trainer Kazuya Nakatake claimed his second career JRA-G1 title after saddling Jo Cappuccino to victory in the 2009 NHK Mile Cup. Jockey Mirco Demuro landed his fourth G1 victory of the season and 28th overall—his latest being the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes with Admire Mars.

Saturnalia broke sharply to secure a good position among the front group, allowed Cosmo Calendula to set a considerably slow pace while settling well a length behind in second position early. Still unhurried as the field began to close in before the final turn, the Lord Kanaloa colt found another gear passing the furlong pole, instantly dislodged Admire Justa 100 meters out and drew away easily to a 1-1/2-length victory to conclude his two-year-old debut season with three wins in as many starts.

“I feel great. I knew I was riding the strongest two-year-old of the season but it was his first time over 2,000 meters so I was a little worried. He really showed his strength though squeezing his way through the narrow opening. I am really looking forward to his three-year-old season,” commented Mirco Demuro.

Admire Justa broke smoothly and was positioned smartly outside the eventual winner in third, moved up to close in on the leader rounding the third corner, sprinted out to take command in the early stretch but was unable to sustain his bid as the winner flew past his outside while holding well for second.

Nishino Daisy took advantage of an inside draw and saved ground inside at the heel of the eventual winner as the three top favorites formed the front group chasing Cosmo Calendula. The Harbinger colt dropped back briefly as the runners outside began to make headway approaching the last corner but showed impressive turn of speed to come out from between horses and track the winner once again, just short of pinning Admire Justa.

Other Horses:
4th: (13) Cosmo Calendula—set slow pace, showed tenacity until 100m pole, weakened in final strides
5th: (2) Breaking Dawn—raced in 6th behind winner, in contention with leaders at top of stretch, weakened in last 200m
6th: (11) Vin de Garde—sat 2nd from rear, checked at early stretch, met traffic 200m out, quickened thereafter
7th: (4) Hiruno Dakar—ran 3-wide in 7th, turned to straight in good striking position, failed to respond
8th: (3) King Listeia—was off slow, trailed in rear, advanced on outer route, passed tired rivals
9th: (7) Mikki Black—settled in 10th, made headway after 3rd corner, found little room at early stretch, even paced
10th: (10) Madre Voice—traveled in 11th, lacked needed kick
11th: (9) Just a Gigolo—raced 4-wide in 9th, checked at final corner, lost momentum
12th: (6) Hakusan Taiyo—hugged rails in 8th, outrun after 3rd corner
13th: (12) Tanino Drama—sat 4-wide in 5th, faded after 3rd corner

With Pro Tipster MAX over 20 well-known professional tipsters provide their racing tips for a fee (from 100 yen/race). And their tips aren't just symbols that indicate the outcome, but proper racing tips that indicate the betting combination and how to allocate funds--racing tips whose wins/losses are completely transparent in this head-to-head world--a totally different critter from other horseracing tip sites, which only post their wins, but not the balance of wins/losses. The racing tips software [Sugouma Robot] is equipped with expected value theory for automatically buying only betting tickets with high expected yields.

Next, try registering your tips in the [Tip Coliseum]. Simply registering a tip on a race will double the fun of watching them run. And up to this point it won't even cost you a single penny.

Umanity POG

Recommend using!

[POG] stands for Paper Owner Game. Even though it's a virtual game, the horses are all real--several thousand JRA registered thoroughbreds. You select from among them and if your bid wins the auction, it's registered as your POG horse. You can keep up to 20 POG horses in your stable and the game is in competing for prize money with those horses. Apart from the game, pictures of about 400 race horses have been posted, and appreciating their beautiful bodies is one more pleasure.

Q4:
Can I see racing tips for free?
A4:

There are both free tips and those you pay for.
You have to pay for the racing tips of professional tipsters.
Doing so requires the Umanity virtual currency, Gold (G).
Gold can be purchased with credit card.
Although you can view the racing tips of non-professional tipsters for "free," in some cases you need to use Umanity points, which you can get for free by being active on the site, such as by logging in, posting tips in the Tip Coliseum, etc.

Q5:
What is the U-index?
A5:

It is an index developed exclusively by Umanity to indicate the performance of a racehorse.
The value is based on the time over the distance of each horse to date, and estimates whether and how well they will perform in this race; as such, the higher the index, the better the race performance is expected to be.
The U-index is provided to Umanity members free for high-stakes races. To use it on all races, you have to become a member of the Umanity VIP Club, which is a paid service.
