The “NHK Mile Cup” held at the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu City, Tokyo is a 1,600 meter G1 race on turf for 3-year-old horses, and 18 horses entered this year’s race.
Jantar Mantar, who won the 1,600m G1 race for 2-year-old horses last year and finished third in this year’s Satsuki Sho, was the second favorite and raced at the front of the pack from the start. I did.
He then took the lead midway through the final straight and pushed past the rest of the pack, gaining a two-and-a-half length lead over second place and winning with a time of 1 minute 32.4 seconds, his second G1 race win.
Second place went to the most popular Ascoli Piceno, who also won a G1 race when he was two years old, and third place went to the 10th favorite Rogilion.
Jockey Masamasa Kawada, who took the reins for Jantar Mantar, said, “He did a really good job.I thought that in the 1,600m race, if he ran normally, he wouldn’t be defeated by someone his age.”
