- In the Victoria Mile, she lost to Apapane who is a Triple Crown Filly.
- She had been the first favorite since her debut in JRA races. (19 times)
But in the Japan Cup, she was the second favorite for the first time because she didn’t win over a year.
The first favorite horse was Danedream.
She won for the first time in a year and a month.
Evalution for her
- Some say she’s the strongest filly or mare in history, while others say she’s lost a lot of times.
It’s very much appreciated that she competed in a lot of races without injury, and even when she lost, she finished second and third a lot.
