Takarazuka, Hyogo Pref. – – The second most popular Chrono Genesis flashed on the field on Sunday and picked up the Takarazuka Kinen at the Hanshin Racecourse.
Yuichi Kitamura steered the 4-year-old mare to victory six lengths ahead of sixth favorite Kiseki. Outsider Mozu Bello finished third ahead of favorites Saturnalia before the race.
“She ran very well. I wasn’t worried about the track or the other horses, I just rode and believed in my horse,” said Kitamura.
“We got off to a good start and were able to walk around at a good pace. She responded well when we hit the straight.”
The race was the first first-class event for Chrono Genesis since second place in Osaka Hai in April.
