In the Falcon Stakes, Jo Cappuchino won his first grade race.
In the NHK Mile Cup, he was the 10th favorite.
He ran 2nd from the front and took the lead 250 meters from the finish line.
He broke the race record and won by 2 lengths.
It was his first G1 win.
In the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), he was the 7th favorite.
He took the lead and ran at a fast pace on a poor track with heavy rain falling.
He ended up in last place, 9.3 seconds behind the 1st-place finisher, Logi Universe.
He certainly made the derby a lot of fun.
However, many of the horses that ran in the Derby that year were later injured or performed poorly due to the soft and slippery track.
(Perhaps the fast pace he set may have contributed to their injuries and poor performance.)
He, like many others, had trouble adjusting to his condition and did not return to racing until a year and five months later.
In the Takamatsunomiya Kinen (2011), he was the 1st favorite, perhaps because he won the Silk Road Stakes in his last race.
In the third corner he was blocked by Dasher Go Go. (Patrol Video)
He finished 10th in the race, due in part to his failure to break smoothly from the pack as he entered the homestretch.
Dasher Go Go finished 2nd but was demoted to 11th after the race for obstructing Jo Cappuccino.
He retired in 2012.
As a racehorse he would not have had much luck.
He may have originally been a horse with more potential.

As a sire

He was not in much demand as a stallion because of his poor results as a racehorse.
However, his crop’s Winners/Starters figures were so high that he began to get some attention.
His breeding count has increased due in part to his move to Big Red Farms in 2016.
In 2017, he bred more than 100 mares.
As of 2022, his foals have not had much success in graded races, with one G2 winner and one G3 winner.
However, his crop’s Winners/Starters figures remain good.
He is regarded as a stallion with low breeding fees and reasonable prices.
