Straight, Auguste Rodin coming from the outside with ferocious legs. Chase the King Of Steel (King of Steel) who escaped earlier.

I will accelerate and line up from the outside.

As it is, one horse goes out and wins. It was a big difference from the 3rd place onwards.

Auguste Rodin's father, Deep Impact, won the Triple Crown in 2005, and is well known for his commentary phrase when he won the Kikukasho, 'the crystallization of modern Japanese horse racing.' In 2006, he tried for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in France, but he finished 3rd, but was later disqualified due to detection of a banned substance. After retiring, he was very active as a stallion and died in 2019 at the age of 17.

The first generation of Deep Impact progeny was born in 2008. In that generation, Marcelina immediately won the Ouka Award. In 2009, French-born Beauty Parlour won the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, also known as the French 1000 Guineas. Since then, his offspring have won classic races in Japan or Europe almost every year. Those born in 2020 are the last generation left behind by Deep Impact, and with Auguste Rodin's victory, Deep Impact has achieved the record of 'all generations win classic races in Japan or Europe'.
