3 minute read

Sunday's G1 at Tokyo saw a huge upset when 35/1 shot Lauda Sion won.

Under Mirco Demuro, who won this last year, Lauda Sion became the first of Real Impact's progeny to win a G1.

Resistencia put on a good show but not enough to add anything extra in the last 50m and was 1 ½ lengths away in second. 

There was a good go for 3rd with Gilded Mirror, a daughter of Orfevre, getting in ahead of Taisei Vision and Luftstrom.

Our roughie Shine Garnet was not far away in 6th and is worth following.  She is also a daughter of Orfevre.

Although they had a weight advantage, good to see that 3 fillies finished in the first 6.
