Meanwhile, expectations are rising for him as a rising horse after winning four consecutive wins from an undefeated match.epiphanyHowever, this time “dangerous hot horse” target.
■ Anxiety that accompanies a fascinated rising horse
When Epiphany won his first victory in the spring of 3 years old in the spring of the undefeated game, he rushed up the conditional game at once and entered the open with 4 consecutive wins. He was worried about his feet and ran with a gap between him, but if he doesn’t have the ability, it’s not easy to win four consecutive races, and this is his first attempt at a graded prize, so expectations are high.
However, looking back on the past, the JCC in the United States is a stage where graded prizes speak for themselves. Looking at performances by class in the previous race over the past 10 years, runners that have used graded races make up the majority at[9.9.8.76]while runners in the 3-win class in their previous race account for[1.0.1.12]. And only two horses entered the multiple win range.
Moreover, Danburite, who won in 2018, has experienced the classic triple crown, including 3rd place in the Satsuki Sho in the previous year. . Twenty-seven of the 30 Top 3 finishers over the past 10 years had previously finished in the Top 3 of a turf 2,000m or longer graded race, so they performed well in middle- and long-distance graded races. If you don’t have the experience, you will be forced to fight hard at the American JCC.
In addition, Epiphany has run all turf 1800m since its debut, and this time it will be the first 2200m. In the past 10 years, the results by distance run were almost equal, with the long distance group[4.7.7.56]and the short distance group[6.3.2.46]but the long distance group was the last to leave a result. Most of the 2000m run groups, and the extension group from 1800m is[0.0.1.13]which is not good.
Red Raven, who was the most popular team in 2014, won the conditional race of 1800m and lost to 4th despite gaining high support due to its momentum.Father Epiphaneia x Mother Father Deep Impact has the same pedigree as Aristotle, the champion of the year before last, and it seems that there is no problem with distance aptitude, but this time he faces a high hurdle with a first graded prize and a sudden increase in distance.epiphanydare to say “EraseI want to go.
