Japanese horses entered Kentucky Derby returned to their latest work on the Churchill Downs Dirt run on Tuesday, and mostly listened to Louisville before the race day in KY.
Hayret Daytona and Luxor Cafe finished five rotating training at 1: 02.4. Although their time was the same, they were very different how they went to Kentucky.
Luxor Cafe, trained in Kentucky and embroidered by the 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, won the invitation by winning key betting races in Japan. This included Fukuryu Stakes in Chiba’s Nakayama hippodrome last month.
Japan’s admiration, Daytona ranked fourth in Sümbül Stakes in February, which was won by Luxor Cafe on the Tokyo Hippodrome. After that, the instructor Yukihiro Kato took his Colt to Dubai, where he won the UAE Derby on April 5 and won 100 points for elimination, and he was more than enough to take him to Louisville.
In recent years, Churchill Downs has emphasized more emphasis on inviting horses from Europe and Japan to derby. This includes creating a series of races similar to the road to Kentucky Derby in the United States, although much less races in both places.
No horse in Japan has won Derby, but Forever Young came third last year, a three -way photo ended by Mystical Dan and Sierra Leone.
The last horse Sunny’s Halo, who was trained outside the United States to win the run for roses, was. 1983 champion Ontario was grown in Canada. The 1964 winner Northern Dancer was also raised in Ontario. The 1971 winner Canonero II came from Venezuela.

While the post position for Derby takes place last Saturday, there is still a horse that can still compete with 1-1/4 miles.
Baeza worked at Churchill Downs on Tuesday. Based on the score structure of the road to Kentucky Derby, Colt trained by John Shirreffs would need another entry to be drawn by ET on Friday to enter Friday.
In an interview with Kentucky HBPA, Shirreffs, who trained 2005 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo, said, “The races have a lot of landing and exit.” He continued: “We do not get into my elimination yet, as they say, hope is spreading forever.”
In his only preparation for Kentucky Derby, Baeza led the 5th April Santa Anita Derby, but lost less than a length of journalism, and Colt is expected to be a favorite on Saturday.
In addition, if Baeza made the field properly, the distant external writing would start at 20.
Three years ago, Rich Strike was also appropriate to add last minute and released one of the biggest disorders in the 150 -year history of the race and paid $ 163,60 for a $ 2 bet to win. He started through the 20th door.
