Almond Eye Lives Up To The Hype


Recommended Posts

  • Journalists

Japanese fillies’ Triple Crown and G1 Japan Cup winner Almond Eye (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}–Fusaichi Pandora {Jpn}, by Sunday Silence) was perhaps the most anticipated horse of the night in Dubai, and she lived up to expectations with a one-length victory over compatriot Vivlos (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), winner of this race two years ago. Traveling midpack and on the outside, Almond Eye began to work her way forward under Christophe Lemaire coming off the turn. It was apparent the filly was full of fuel at the top of the lane, with Lemaire sitting cool, and while he had to give her a few reminders to keep clear of the classy Vivlos late on, she hit the wire in a hand ride. Lord Glitters (Fr) (Whipper) got up for third. Lifetime Record: 8-7-1-0. O-Silk Racing Co. Ltd. B-Northern Racing  (JPN). T-Sakae Kunieda.
