I remembered Lys Gracieux. She was a late maturing mare who predominantly raced against fillies and mares. She thrashed a decent field in Cox Plate in Melbourne in 2019, the year after another champion (Aussie) mare created history with 4 consecutive Cox Plates. Lys Gracieux went on to win the G1 Arima Kinen at the end of 2019 before her retirement.
I'm amazed that Gentildonna wasn't on the list. She won G1 Sheema Classic over 2400m in Meydan, Dubai in 2014 in her only overseas visit and at that time she dominated Japan racing. She and Almond Eye were both champion mares and both bowed out by winning their final G1 races.
Other remarkable & memorable achievements for Japan: Seeking the Pearl #シーキングザパール - Prix Maurice de Gheest, 1998 Taiki Shuttle #タイキシャトル - Prix Jacques le Marois,1998 Stay Gold #ステイゴールド - Hong Kong Vase, 2001 Cesario #シーザリオ - American Oaks Stakes, 2005 A Shin Hikari #エイシンヒカリ - Prix d'Ispahan, 2016
改めてサンデーサイレンスの凄さを実感した
I could watch this video all day. So proud of Sunday Silence who started Japan’s racing dynasty.🏇

David Wong- I completely agree. I hope Crown Pride wins the Kentucky Derby this Saturday.

Although Delta Blues did not become a stallion, he is now living a peaceful life after a successful career as a dressage competition horse.
日本馬が海外のレースに挑戦するようになって50年くらい経ちますがこういう特集が組める時代になったんですね。
そういえば特集に登場した10頭以外にも、日本でなかなかGⅠを勝てなかったのに香港でGⅠ初優勝を果たしたステイゴールドもいましたよね。
Just a Way is Best❤
I think Just a way is the best at Dubai1800m.
I am India from panjabi 💖💖💖💖💖💖
