Only the tenth female jockey ever to be licensed by the JRA. Born in Shiga Prefecture, Seina Imamura followed in the footsteps of her father, Yasunari, pursuing a career as a jockey from an early age. Now, at just 22 years old, she’s already writing her name into Japanese racing history. 🏇✨

History was made by two girls who just conquered the Japanese Oaks! ✨ At just 22 years old, Seina Imamura became the first female jockey to win a Japanese fillies’ Classic race, while Orfevreling nodded the entire time. Star Anise got completely blocked, but Pierrot parted the field like Moses 🏇

Was worried for a moment there, but C. Lemaire proved once again why he’s the GOAT. Embroidery swung out to the right and absolutely flew past everyone in the final straight. After winning the Shuka Sho and Oka Sho, she now adds the Victoria Mile to her resume, Tachyon is proud!

NHK Mile Cup wraps up with a dramatic finish as Rodeo Drive, a distant descendant of Special Week, takes the win! Him and Ask Ikigomi both launched late spurt and it was so close we actually needed a VAR review before D. Lane was confirmed the winner. Also feel bad for Cavalerizzo… he got blocked 😭

Tomorrow, Eishin Flash will be coming to Tokyo Racecourse!

That's why you stay even after graded races. To see such fight at the end is always amazing, no matter if it's allowance or NAR. Lord Voyager took the race, however true pace chaser acceleration from Smart Seeker made everyone question who won. Great race which provided heat to the very end 🐎🔥

This G3 was even more heated than G2 today. Trovatore takes Epsom Stakes G3 after the battle against Stellenbosch. Distant descendant of Special Week trained his guts well, because there was no hesitation in his run. Congrats to both first, and second place, it was truly a special race 🐎👏

Congestus takes Shimbun Hai G2 with last spurt that passes Bereshit! It's his third win, and keep in mind he only raced three times. If you thought that Don Erectus was a funny namme then Bereshit is here to prove that Japanese fellas don't stop inventing interesting names

Mayano kid really flew today, and didn't let anyone took Shumpu Stakes from him after taking the lead. It's always interesting to see those straight races. Today he secured his 3rd win in Niigata 1000m, congrats to all Maya fans 🐎✈️

We had Sunday Funday, but today meet yet another goofy name, and the winner of Seiryu Stakes – Don Erectus!

The hero of Derby, Osaka Hai now takes Tenno Sho (Spring) G1, his second crown! A lot called him fraud yet today he showed his Kitaling stamina and speed. End closers shined today. Croix du Nord and Wurttemberg, true dead heat that probably caused a few heart attacks including mine, amazing race!

It's nice to watch NAR. Especially when you are getting surprised by such a close race. Sei Christina surged forward and snatched the victory in Mizusawa 12R Rusu Hai Hidaka Shou. Truly dead heat. The pedigree includes Fuji Kiseki, Orfevre, and Stay Gold

Umamusume spotted with the winner of Satsuki Sho G1 - Kohei Matsuyama

Meet Kohei Matsuyama. 36 years old jockey who dominated not only First Crown but also First Tiara races this year with Lovcen and Star Anise. How crazy would it be if he took them both, especially since his horses are top contenders, and he looks to be in top form as well. Stay tuned 🔥

Lovcen does it again! Satsuki Sho G1 is not only his first crown, but he also beat the record of Museum Mile. I was rooting for him since jokingly named Hopeless Stakes, and he didn't disappoint. His front runner style is strong, and he held the first spot. Sirius behind, and Green Energy blocked GG

Sweep Tosho fans behold, because the only still active offspring just won RItsuunkyo Stakes after a great acceleration. While the pack was stacked, she surged from the left side, and stunned everyone by how she SWEPT the competition. She truly made her mum Tosho, and father Deep Impact proud

Looks like gate malfunctions will be with us for more. Ecoro Eight took "early start" very seriously, and led Take far into the track after the gate that wasn't supposed to open decided to let him go all out way before the race started

Unbelievable! Kitasan Black's kid again dominates the Jump race. He surged forward and created a huge gap that got him the new Nakayama record! Ecoro Duel, the one to succeed Oju Chosan, the one who doesn't let anyone catch up to him, and the GOAT of Nakayama, congrats to him and his jockey Kusano!

That’s why you never skip allowance races. Vin Brule showed exactly what it means to steal a win in the final spurt. It looked like Special Week's descendant Harmony Song had it under control, but Vin Brule said “not on my watch” and snatched the victory right at the wire 🏇

Takeshi Yokoyma celebrates his 800th win today 👏

First leg of the Triple Tiara - Oka Sho just wrapped up, and Star Anise takes the win! The Daiwa Major progeny surged forward and broke away from the field so fiercly no one caught up. Alankar managed to secure 5th place, despite spending most of the race at the very back. Congrats to all🏇

Oka Sho was delayed due to the physical examination of Lily Joie. She will race after all, however let's hope nothing bad happens to her during the race

If anyone watched allowance races today then his last spurt was so crazy it left everyone in shock as he flew by. He didn't place well during the race, but the sheer power of his sudden surge is nuts . I wonder how it would go if he hit it perfectly. The star I'm talking about is the Okameno Koi

Reservation takes the New Zealand Trophy (G2)! A strong run to hold the lead all the way to the line. The descendant of Special Week – Rodeo Drive, despite being the favourite, just couldn’t catch up in the end. Another race where second place pushes hard late, but it’s not enough 🏇

The distant descendant of Agnes Tachyon, and double tiara winner Embroidery takes the G2 today. She held on brilliantly and didn’t lose steam even as Kamnuyak launched a strong late surge. Another win for Christophe Lemaire, what a race 🏇

G1-only fans be missing out fr. These “smaller” races hit just as hard Crossed the line and I genuinely had no idea who got it. Absolute head-to-head, had to go frame by frame to see it. And it turns out a distant descendant of Maruzensky takes it today. Asbolute cinema. See you on NHK Mile Cup

Y’all thought Kitasan horses were done after that G1? Nah 😤 Reverberate said "actually", and took the lead. Others tried to catch up, but he didn't let anyone best him. Just cruising the whole way and the gap at the end? Huge if we compare it to the other races. Congrats Kitaling!

honestly, this is the cutest, unexpected thing I've seen today

Kitasan Black’s kid really said “I got this” 😭 Takes the Osaka Hai (G1) with a crazy late run, just flies past Meisho Tabaru (Gold Ship gang). Wasn’t even sure he had it mid-race but that acceleration is actually unreal. What a finish. Congrats Croix Du Nord, and Yuichi Kitamura, awesome G1 🐎🔥

Sakura Bakushin O fans, rejoice🌸🔥 One of his descendants just took the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen, and broke the race record. New race record: 1:06.3, smashing it by 0.4s. Absolute Bakushin, and C. Lemaire doesn't stop, he took February Stakes, and now the sprinter race. RIP Namura Clair fans

March Stakes (G3) concludes with yet another goofball name "Sunday Funday" takes the number one spot. He stayed close to the front all the time, and when he decided to take the lead, he never let it go. I guess he really did have a Fun Sunday

HE CAME SO CLOSE 💔🔥 FOREVER YOUNG finishes second in the Dubai World Cup (G1) Our Ebayan tried to close in, but MAGNITUDE held firm and never gave him a chance to shorten the gap. "600m... I saw Forever Young, and I knew it's time to go" commented the winning jockey Amazing race! #HorseRacing

FROM BEFOREE THE LAST TO FIRST Eight race and CALADAGAN absolutely obliterates the field with a monster late charge! Around the 400m mark he turned into pure speed, flying past everyone from near last to take it. Bloody hell, what a demon to do so witht such an ease! #DubaiWorldCup #HorseRacing

LATE EXPLOSION in Dubai Turf (G1) 🔥 OMBUDSMAN unleashes a massive turn of foot around the 300m mark and blows past the field! GAIA FORCE led for most of the race, but got swallowed up late and drops out of the top 5. Brutal pace shift. That acceleration was unreal #DubaiWorldCup #HorseRacing

OUT OF THE CORNER AND GONE 🔥 DARK SAFFRON takes the Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1)! He hit the front after the final turn and never looked back. He kept pushing every last cm to the line. Absolute dominance Did anyone expect him to hold that lead? 👀 #DubaiWorldCup #HorseRacing

Al Quoz Sprint (G1) delivers a thrilling finish! 🐎🔥 LUGAL comes home second after a fierce battle, unable to hold off NATIVE APPROACH in the final strides. The two went head-to-head near the finish, but NATIVE APPROACH just edged ahead. Incredible display of determination from both! #HorseRacing

Christian “The GOAT” Demuro 🐎🔥takes UAE Derby (G2) on WONDER DEAN! He powered past SIX SPEED to seal another big win. Demuro said WONDER DEAN performed exactly as expected and thanked the strong support from Japanese trainers. He also hinted that he might run in the Kentucky Derby! 🦅 #HorseRacing

Third race of the day, the Dubai Gold Cup (G2) and what a turnaround! 🔥 SUNWAY led the field up to the 400m, but faded when it mattered most as the pack swept past. FAIRY GLEN delivered a true late surge to take the win, holding off CABALLO DE MAR right on his heels. #DubaiWorldCup #HorseRacing

Second race of the day, the Godolphin Mile (G2), goes to BANISHING! 🐎💨 A strong acceleration put him in front with a clear margin, leaving COMMISSIONER KING behind #DubaiWorldCup #HorseRacing

Dubai Racing Saturday kicks off with the Dubai Kahayla Classic (G1) for 5yo+ and what a finish! 🐎🔥 FALAAH storms home with an outstanding late burst, snatching victory in style from MURAAD. Pure class in the final stretch! #HorseRacing #DubaiWorldCup

Yoshihiro Furukawa (48) earns his 600th win in the Kokura Daishoten (G3). 11,749 rides and still going strong. His lone G1 came aboard Ein Bride in the 1997 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies. Not defined by trophies, but by longevity and resilience. Huge milestone — congratulations!

The first G1 of the 2026 Japanese season – the February Stakes 1600m. Costa Nova defends the title and wins it back-to-back! Christophe Lemaire keeps the momentum going, adding yet another G1 to his collection after Tenno Sho (Autumn), Kikuka Sho, and Shuka Sho. Simply unstoppable!

Forever Young does it again, the GOAT wins the (G1) Saudi Cup for the second year in a row! 🏆🎌 $10 million heads back to Japan, and he’s now closing in on becoming the highest-earning Japanese horse ever. Ryusei Sakai proves once more that he’s one of the very best jockeys out there. Amazing duo!
