I took a look at the schedule for the classics, and it would be pretty intense to attempt all 5 (or 6 if you include the Shuka Sho). Basically, the all-open and mares-only races take place at around the same period, which as I understand it would be brutal for a horse to attempt.
...could you please share you enthusiasm with us!This weekend is the Oka ShoWikipedia:Oka ShoThe "Oka Sho" is finally this weekend!The opening of the
Japanese Classics!!Turbo!
As for the Classics...Wikipedia:Japanese Classic RacesI even won the Derby last year!
My goals are pretty bigTokyo Yuushun, aka the Japanese Derby.
Wikipedia:Tōkyō YūshunYou know, Turbo.(So then she's aiming for the triple crown?)For stallions, this means winning the Satsuki Sho, Japan Derby and Kikuka Sho. For mares, this means winning the Oka Sho, Japan Oaks and Shuka Sho.The Japanese Classics quintuple crown!This would only be possible for mares, since two of the 5 classic races are restricted to them, and Twin Turbo was a stallion in real life.
