FROM: Masahiro Usuda General Manager, Media & Publicity Department, THE JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION (JRA) DATE: October 21, 2018 SUBJECT: RESULT OF THE 79TH KIKUKA SHO (JAPANESE ST. LEGER, G1) The history of Kikuka Sho, the Japanese St. Leger and the last leg of the Triple Crown race for three-year-old colts and fillies, dates back to 1938—a year after Japan’s 11 racing clubs integrated into one organization named Nihon Keiba Kai (forerunner of the JRA). Initially called “Kyoto Norin-sho Shoten Yonsai Yobiuma Kyoso”, the race was renamed to Kikuka Sho in 1948. The race distance, however, has not changed since the first running, except in 1979 when the race was held at Hanshin Racecourse during Kyoto’s stand renovation. The Kikuka Sho features three-year-olds, most of who have grown dramatically since the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby, G1, 2,400m) held five months before, prior to their summer break. The Kikuka Sho winners have both the speed and the stamina to prove their caliber as the potential breeding stock. The last of the seven Triple Crown winners in JRA history was Orfevre (JPN, by Stay Gold) in 2011 who proceeded to prove his power against older G1 caliber in the Arima Kinen (G1, 2,500m), which led to his Horse of the Year that year. 2015 Kikuka Sho winner Kitasan Black (JPN, by Black Tide) and 2016 champion Satono Diamond (JPN, by Deep Impact) were chosen as the Horse of the Year and Best Three-Year-Old Colt, respectively, in 2016. This year’s line-up included runners coming off trial races, St. Lite Kinen (G2, 2,200m; Sep.17)—Generale Uno who claimed his second grade-race victory in the race, 2017 Kyoto Nisai Stakes (G3, 2,000m) winner Grail (3rd) and third-place Derby finisher Cosmic Force (7th)—and Kobe Shimbun Hai (G2, 2,400m; Sep.23)—runner-up Etario who was fourth in the Derby, Radio Nikkei Sho (G3, 1,800m; Jul.1) winner Meisho Tekkon (3rd), the Satsuki Sho victor Epoca d’Oro (4th), the 2018 Kyoto Shimbun Hai (G2, 2,200m) winner Stay Foolish (5th) and 2017 Hopeful Stakes (G1, 2,000m) champion Time Flyer (6th). The field also included the Radio Nikkei Sho runner-up Fierement, Shinanogawa Tokubetsu (Allowance, 2,000m; Aug.4) winner Grandiose and Blast Onepiece who won the Niigata Daishoten (G3, 2,000m; Sep.2) against senior rivals. Toho Jackal (JPN, by Special Week) renewed the race record and course record by 1.7 seconds to 3:01.0 seconds in 2014. THE 79TH KIKUKA SHO (JAPANESE ST.

Trainer: Yasuo Tomomichi Jockey: Yutaka Take Seventh Pick Fierement Outduels Second Favorite Etario in This Year’s Kikuka Sho Seventh pick Fierement claimed this year’s Kikuka Sho (Japanese St. Leger), the last leg of the Triple Crown, and captured his first graded victory in his only fourth career start, to become the the Kikuka Sho champion with the least career starts. The son of Deep Impact broke his maiden in his debut start just this January and marked another win in the following Yamafuji Sho (Allowance) in April. His first grade-race challenge in the following Radio Nikkei Sho (G3) in July resulted in a runner-up effort. All his past three races were raced over 1,800 meters. This win marked trainer Takahisa Tezuka’s fourth JRA-G1 win following the 2013 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes with Asia Express. For jockey Christophe Lemaire, it was his 19th JRA-G1 title following his Shuka Sho victory with Almond Eye just a week ago and his second Kikuka Sho title following his win with Satono Diamond in 2016. Breaking smoothly from stall 12, Fierement traveled wide, settling around eighth from the front runner Generale Uno while Etario, breaking slowly from stall 9, steadily advanced forward in the first lap to position himself behind the subsequent winner. As the field of 18 crowded together rounding the last corners, Etario, under Mirco Demuro, took a wide turn and advanced to the front entering the homestretch while Fierement threaded through the horses and exerted a powerful late charge to catch up with the Stay Gold colt in the last 200 meters. The two colts dueled fiercely to the wire with Fierement claiming the race with a photo-finish win. “I had confidence in him as he felt good during the training. We briefly met traffic in the straight but my mount stretched really well with his bursting kick.

The fall racing season is heading towards the Japan Autumn International Series, which will be held over four weekends between November 12 and December 3, consisting of four prestigious G1 races: the Queen Elizabeth II Cup (G1, 2,200m), the Mile Championship (G1, 1,600m), the Japan Cup and the Champions Cup (G1, dirt, 1,800m). Total prize money for the four G1 events will amount to around ¥1.28 billion (about US$11.1m), with additional bonuses for winners of designated overseas G1 events who run in the Japan Cup. Bonuses will also be provided for winners of designated overseas G1 events who finish within the top three in the QEII, Mile Championship and Champions Cup. Kitasan Black Aims for Consecutive Japan Cup Victory Kitasan Black (JPN, H5, by Black Tide) put in a brilliant performance under Yutaka Take in the Japan Cup last year, taking command from the start and did not give his rivals a chance to challenge as he continued strongly to the wire, leaving runner-up Sounds of Earth (JPN, H6, by Neo Universe) 2-1/2 lengths behind. All 14 Japanese horses that ran in the race last year are still in training as of the end of August and are considered ready to stake their claim to the Japan Cup title again this year. The following are updates on last year’s top finishers, up-and-coming three-year-olds and prominent older horses.

  • Results of the 15Th Victoria Mile (G1)

    Results of the 15Th Victoria Mile (G1)

    FROM: Junichi Takada General Manager, Media & Publicity Department, THE JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION (JRA) DATE: May 17, 2020 SUBJECT: RESULTS OF THE 15TH VICTORIA MILE (G1) In accordance with the restructuring of JRA racing program for fillies/mares executed in the 2006 season, the Victoria Mile was established to give the older fillies/mares a stage to prove their ability among their own sex, in addition to the Queen Elizabeth II Cup, which had been the only G1 reserved for older fillies/mares. While the Queen Elizabeth is run over 2,200 meters and held in mid-November, the Victoria Mile is held in spring and provides female milers a chance to claim a G1 title without having a tough competition in a mixed field. The race, however, attracts not only fillies/mares suited to the mile distance but also outstanding runners from the middle-long distance group. Past victors include two-time Horse of the Year winner Vodka (JPN, by Tanino Gimlet; ’09), 2010 Horse of the Year Buena Vista (JPN, by Special Week; ’10) and 2010 fillies’ Triple Crown winner Apapane (JPN, by King Kamehameha; ’11). Meanwhile, both Verxina (JPN, by Deep Impact) and Straight Girl (JPN, by Fuji Kiseki) claimed consecutive Victoria Mile titles in 2013-14 and 2015-16, respectively. The top three finishers will earn automatic starting positions in the French G1 Prix Jacques le Marois (1,600m) where not only will they be exempted from paying registration fee but will be given a total of €20,000 as a transportation subsidy. The race also joined the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series this year, enabling its winner to earn automatic starting position in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1, 1,900m).

On the basis of the recognition that the dissemination to overseas countries of information on the Japanese local governance system and its operation was insufficient, the objective of this project was defined as the pursuit of comparative studies on local governance by means of compiling in foreign languages materials on the Japanese local governance system and its implementation as well as by accumulating literature and reference materials on local governance in Japan and foreign countries.
