And no surprises that her jockey Chrisophe Lemaire got the top jockey after 204 winners in 2020!

The 2yos were Danon The Kid and Sodashu, the 3yos Contrail and Daring Tact and the older male Fierement.

Gran Alegria won the Sprinter/Miler, Chuwa Wizard the Dirt, Meisho Dassai the Jumps and there was a Special Award for Chrono Genesis who collected the rare double of the two Grand-Prix races, the Takarazuka Kinen and the Arima Kinen.

Top trainer was Yasuo Yahagi who saddled 60 winners.

There are two G3 races on Sunday and Monday but we know very little about the runners so shall discuss these when we get the results.
