Sixpence won the Fuji TV Sho, a trial for the 2000 Guineas, at Nakayama.

Ridden by Christophe Lemaire fe fisnihed 3 ½ lengths ahead of Allego Brillante, by Deep Brillante, who had started on 25.3.  Lucullan Feast was third – he's by Isla Bonita (who was one of our favourites) and was on 7.3, with the latter two horses helping the Yokoyama fortunes as they were ridden by K and T respectively.  We expect that he actually cost more than sixpence but it's a nice name and you should be able to win more than his name by following him.

At Hanshin T O Royal endorsed his claims as the leading stayer at the 3000m trip in the Daishoten.  He defeated Warp Speed by 5 lengths with Blow The Horn third.  He will now head to the Tenno Sho and who knows - maybe Melbourne?
