- In 2004 (age 2), he won the Radio Tampa Hai Nisai Stakes.
- In 2005 (age 3), he could not win a turf race.
His connections decided to make him run in dirt races.
In the Urawa Kinen (G2), he won by 3 lengths. - In 2006 (age 4), he won two G2 races.
He could not win a G1 race. - In 2007 (age 5), he showed a great performance.
- In the Kawasaki Kinen, he was easy to win by 6 lengths.
It was his first G1 win.
He lost in Dubai but had no enemy in Japan.
(Kane Hekili, the same age as him, was injured and resting.)
He won the JRA Award for Best Dirt Horse (2007). - In 2008 (age 6), he won two G1 races.
- In the JBC Classic, he won defeating Success Brocken who was a dirt-derby-horse.
- In the Japan Cup Dirt, he lost to Kane Hikili.
Kane Hekili returned from injury and won the first time in 2 years and 10 months.
Vermilion lost in a Japanese race for the first time in two years. - In the Tokyo Daishoten, he lost to Kane Hekili again.
He never beat Kane Hekili once in his life. - In 2009 (age 7), he won two G1 races.
- In the JBC Classic, he won the race three times in a row.
- In 2010 (age 8), he won the Kawasaki Kinen.
He broke the record time.
He won the JRA grade races for seven consecutive years.
It is the most in history.
Episode
- He was a very strong horse, and he held the record for wins in a G1 race at the time.
He was truly a dirt champion horse.
But the fact that dirt racing is often seen as a downgrade and that he’s never beaten Kane Hekili is why he’s not rated so highly.
He was sometimes called “空き巣の王者 (the Champion of burglary of an empty house)”.
- He belongs to the same “Scarlet Family” as Daiwa Major and Daiwa Scarlet.
