On Sunday, March 28th, the 11th race of the Nakagyo meeting was held at Kyoto Racecourse. The race featured 9 horses from both inside and outside Japan in a highly competitive field. In the end, it was King Elmes from along the inner rail that came out on top, claiming victory for the 2021 Kyoei Cup 2-Year-Old S. Rider Ryo Sakai was aboard King Elmes for this win, marking his 300th JRA win since his debut 8 years ago. The horse is owned by Yoshito Yashiro’s stable and proved to be a worthy contender against its opponents. The other horses in contention included Kiseki Asahi (2nd place), Umino Hayabusa (3rd place), Hirosaki Ichiya (4th place), Tochihikari Taka (5th place), and others who ran their hearts out but were unable to take home first prize. King Elmes’s performance was truly impressive and will no doubt be remembered as one of the most memorable races of 2021 so far. Congratulations to all involved!
