DARING Tact emerged as a potential star on Sunday with victory in the Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) at Hanshin racecourse.
Unbeaten in three starts, the Haruki Sugiyama-trained daughter of 2014 Japan Cup winner Epiphaneia produced an extraordinary burst of speed from way back to pick off her rivals, catching favourite Resistencia a few strides before the line, in a race run behind closed doors.
What a closing kick!

She is now expected to tackle the Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) – on May 24th, before hopefully the final leg of the Japanese Fillies’ Triple Crown, the Shuka Sho, in October.
