- In the Toyota Sho Chukyo Kinen, he won by 5 lengths.
It was his first grade race win. - In the Kinko Sho (2002), he was 2nd favorite.
He won by 1+1/2 lengths over the 2nd place finisher, Air Shakur. - After that, he was running well but not winning.
- In the Takarazuka Kinen (2002), he lost to Dantsu Flame by a neck.
- In the Kyoto Daishoten, he lost to Narita Top Road and finished 2nd.
- In the Kinko Sho (2003), he lost to Tap Dance City and finished 2nd.
- In the Takarazuka Kinen (2003), he lost to Hishi Miracle by a neck.
- In the Tenno Sho (autumn 2003), he lost to Symboli Kris S and finished 2nd.
- In the Yasuda Kinen, he was 6th favorite.
It was a race in which there was no strong horse and no one was considered to be the leading contender.
Tsurumaru Boy was considered to be good at long distance races since his sire is Dance in the Dark and his dam-sire is Soccer Boy.
He came from the very back of the pack on the home stretch.
He took the lead 100m before the finish line and won by a neck.
He finally won a G1 race at the age of six. - He retired in 2004 and became a stallion.
However, he was not in much demand as a stallion and was retired early.
Besides him, Delta Blues failed to become a stallion, and That’s the Plenty and Three Rolls were retired early due to lack of demand, so the survival of the sire line of Dance in the Dark is doomed.
