Efforia, by Epiphaneia, was a strong winner of the Kyodo News G3 at Fuchu for the 3yos.

Starting on 6.3, he defeated Victipharus, by Heart's Cry, by 2 ½ lengths over the 1800m course with Shahryar a head away in third and favourite Stella Veloce back in fifth.   Unfortunately the boys were too strong for Leftovers, the only filly in the race.

At Hanshin it was a more predictable finish with Loves Only You an appropriate winner on Valentine's Day. This was in the Kyoto Kinen G2 over 2200m with second favourite Stay Foolish in second place and the third money going to Danburite who started on 10/1.
