On May 23, 2010 (Sun) at the Tokyo Racecourse, the GI race `` Yosuke Mare (Oaks) '', Apapane of Haruna Masayoshi and Santemilion of Norihiro Yokoyama on the line at the same time, After about 10 minutes of photo judgment, it was the winner. It is the first time in the history to win the same race in the Central Horse Racing GI race.

In horse racing, as a rule, the difference in arrival is made visually, but if the difference is small, photo judgment is made. Even when the time difference is almost zero, it is judged by the head difference (about 40cm) or the difference of the hook (about 20cm), but this time the difference was not confirmed in the photograph.

The Yuma Mare is the second crown of the 3-year-old mare classic race , followed by the Sakura Flower Award, the Yuma Mare, and the Chuka Award. The most popular on the day before was the show moon that won the Tulip Award (GIII), and the Hanshin Juvenile Phillies, Sakurabana Award and Apapane, which won two GIs, were the second most popular.

The race took place in the rain. Apapane is attached to the rear outside of the group of horses , and Saint Emilion runs in front of it. Apapane once took the lead at the remaining 200m of the straight line, but Sante Million returned from within, and Sante Million brought the position advantage at the remaining 50m. When you pass the goal board, you will be in a state that “the body is advantageous for Saint-Emilion, but raising and lowering the neck looks advantageous for apparel”.

The result was entangled in the photo judgment, and after about 10 minutes of judgment was made, the victory in the same arrival was decided.

The photo judgment result is exactly the same. Apapane is now double crowned, and Saint-Emilion is the first GI conqueror.

That is not the case, but Narita Hayabusa and Rasian Gold won the 15th Emperor Award in 1992 (the races held at the Oi Racetrack, and the regional horse racing GI races from 1997). doing. By the way, Narita Hayabusa was the rider of Norihiro Yokoyama and Rasian Gold was the rider of Masayoshi Haruna, and the odd combination was the same as this case.

At this time, the difference between the first Flower Park (Tahara Naritaka Riding) and the second Aisin Washington (Kumazawa Shigefumi Riding) was only 1cm, and the photo judgment took 12 minutes.
