Cervinia became the third filly in this decade to win the final two legs of the Triple Crown for fillies in Japan with a victory in Sunday’s Grade 1 Shuka Sho at Kyoto Racecourse.
A day after the 2-year-old filly Desert Flower made easy work of the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket Racecourse in England, her stablemate Shadow of Light toughed out a narrow victory there Saturday in the Group 1 Dewhurst.
The post position draw for Sunday’s Grade 1 Shuka Sho Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Kyoto Racecourse in Japan worked in favor of the contenders Queens Walk and Cervinia. It was not as kind for Stellenbosch, winner of the Grade 1 Japanese 1000 Guineas earlier this year.
Desert Flower, a Godolphin homebred trained by Charlie Appleby, won the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket by 5 1/2 lengths, running her record to four wins from four starts and vaulting to second favorite with British bookmakers for the 1000 Guineas on May 4.
