Mikki Queen, who was excluded from the $1,553,842 Japanese 1000 Guineas at Hanshin Racecourse on April 12 because of a lack of earnings, won the $1,667,457 Japanese Oaks at Tokyo Racecourse on Sunday for her second consecutive win.

Ridden by Suguru Hamanaka, Mikki Queen, the 5-1 third choice in a field of 17, closed from off the pace to win the Grade 1 Japanese Oaks by three-quarters of a length over Rouge Buck, the 8-5 favorite. Culminar, who was second in the Japanese 1000 Guineas, finished third.

Let’s Go Donki, who won the 1000 Guineas, finished 10th.

Al Kazeem won the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup on Sunday at The Curragh in Ireland, his second victory in the race, and his first Group 1 tally since being returned to training after a brief and unsuccessful career as a stallion during the winter of 2013- 2014.

Racing under entirely different conditions, the emergent 5-year-old gelding Solow did the same thing Sunday at Longchamp he had in March at Meydan, galloping to an impressive Group 1 victory.

Facing just three foes and with primary rival Cirrus des Aigles failing to run to form, Solow made short work of the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan. Racing third under Maxime Guyon coming for home, he attacked the pace-setting Gaillo Chop with a little more than a furlong to run, overwhelmed the pacesetter with powerful acceleration, and was geared down to win by 1 1/2 lengths.

Ordak Dan, who won the Group 1 Gran Premio 25 de Mayo in Argentina in 2013 but missed 18 months because of injury before returning to action in late 2014, is part of a field of 15 in Monday’s Gran Premio 25 de Mayo at San Isidro, Argentina.

The winner of the turf race at 1 1/2 miles will receive a fees-paid automatic berth for the Breeders’ Cup Turf at Keeneland on Oct. 31, provided the winner is nominated to the Breeders’ Cup program.

Gleneagles won his second Guineas of the spring, overcoming traffic trouble to win the Irish 2000 Guineas by three-quarters of a length Saturday at The Curragh.

Heavily favored Saturday after winning the May 2 English 2000 Guineas in his first start at 3, Gleneagles found himself buried down along the rail in behind horses much of the one-mile trip as Ivawood, third in the English 2000 Guineas, set the pace.

Let’s Go Donki can become the first filly to complete the Japanese 1000 Guineas and Japanese Oaks double in three years Sunday at Tokyo Racecourse.

The Grade 1 Japanese Oaks has a purse of approximately $1,663,457 and is run at 1 1/2 miles on turf. The race drew a field of 18 3-year-old fillies, 13 of which ran April 12 in the Japanese 1000 Guineas at Hansin Racecourse. Culminar and Contessa Thule, second and third in the Japanese 1000 Guineas, are part of the Japanese Oaks field, a race also known as the Yushun Himba.

When Cirrus des Aigles made his career debut in 2008, Solow was two years away from being born, yet those two geldings – 9-year-old Cirrus des Aigles and 5-year-old Solow – are the principals Sunday at Longchamp in the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan.

At seven furlongs or one mile, Gleneagles has been virtually unbeatable, and he will be favored to win again while facing 10 foes Saturday at The Curragh in the Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas.

Dan Excel became the first horse to win consecutive runnings of the $3.95 million Singapore Airlines International Cup at Kranji Racecourse in Singapore on Sunday, leading throughout for a half-length win over Military Attack, the winner of the race in 2013.

Dan Excel (13-5) was ridden by Tommy Berry and gave Hong Kong-based trainer John Moore his third consecutive win in the race, first run in 2000. Moore trained Military Attack in 2013, but the 7-year-old gelding is now trained by Caspar Fownes of Hong Kong.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Dan Excel, a 7-year-old Irish-bred gelding, returns to the location of his latest win in Sunday’s $3.95 million Singapore International Cup at Kranji Racecourse in Singapore.
