Shuka Sho (Grade 1)

THE Triple Crown is a much revered accolade in Japanese racing circles. The title is reserved for a three-year-old who wins all three of their respective classics, for the female sex, coined as the Triple Tiara. The races include the Oka Sho (1,600 metres), Yushun Himba (2,400 metres) and the Shuka Sho (2,000 metres). Recent winners of the female Triple Crown include Almond Eye (2018) and Gentildonna (2012).
