Partly explains why Shadai has been on a buying spree overseas for mares. There is a raging fire that needs fuel. FOREVER YOUNG will be added to this library of sires ๐Ÿ‘‡

I'm also really glad Yahagi went with the Tokyo Daishoten over the Champions Cup. The extra time between races and his ties to Oi probably had a lot to do with it. But just looking at the layout, I don't like Chukyo's 1,800m dirt course for Forever Young. As I've said before, it's a tricky course. You've got the uphill start, the climb in the straight and the shape of the turns to contend with. You never know how a horse will handle it until he runs there, but even a good horse can run well below form at Chukyo. That's why I'm not a fan of the course.
What I like about Yahagi is that he knows the difference between a race he'd love to win and a race that suits his horse. It's been nearly five years since his last JRA G1 win, and nearly two years since he won a JRA G2 or G3. Some of his recent comments make me wonder if he's getting impatient for another graded win on the JRA circuit. I imagine he'd love to get that first win in Europe, too. As I've said before, part of a trainer's job is finding races you think your horse can win. Yahagi writes in his book that the owner's interests come first. His reluctance to run Forever Young in the Arima Kinen fits with that. Honestly, I gave the horse no chance of winning it, so I can understand why Yahagi felt it was too much to ask of him. Some fans might find the Tokyo Daishoten a less exciting choice. I'm relieved that's the target.

FOREVER YOUNG will have one more start before he retires, via @netkeiba! The highest-earning racehorse currently in training will run in the G1 Tokyo Daishoten at Ohi Racecourse on December 29. He won the race in 2024. ๐Ÿ“ธ @EclipseSports @BreedersCup #ใƒ•ใ‚ฉใƒผใ‚จใƒใƒผใƒคใƒณใ‚ฐ #็ซถ้ฆฌ

There are actually 9 more G1s coming up in Japan, Hopeful Stakes is run on a Saturday this year and the G1 Tokyo Daishoten is not a JRA race.
7 (seven) straight weeks with a G1 every Sunday coming up on the JRA. Fasten seatbelts. #JRA
