Could This Be a Historic Turnaround?
In a surprising twist, Savariant, a horse that finished in 12th place in its previous race, the Naruo Kinen, is now aiming for a remarkable comeback in the upcoming 59th Sapporo Kinen, the only G2 summer horse race. This feat has never been achieved since the 2,000m turf race was introduced in 1990. Historically, no horse has managed to win after finishing in the double digits in the previous race. However, Savariant’s challenger, Challenge C, has an impressive track record of 21 consecutive victories, which cannot be underestimated. To shed further light on the situation, “Oshi no Uma” has interviewed assistant trainer Tatsuhiko Matsuura, who shares insights from three different angles.
Incredible Performance by Otake Stables in the Hokkaido Series
Otake stables have had an outstanding performance in the Hokkaido series this summer. Combined, they recorded the highest number of wins in Hakodate and Sapporo, with an impressive record of [7, 0, 3, 10], equating to a winning rate of 35%. In Sapporo alone, Otake stables come second only to Sugai’s stables with a winning rate of 50%, boasting a record of [4, 0, 1, 3]. Assistant trainer Matsuura confidently stated, “We have specific goals in mind for this race, and jockey Miura is fully committed to achieving them.”
