Both World Ace (4th) and Tosen Homareboshi (3rd) turned out to have suffered tendon injuries after the Tokyo Yushun. It was announced that TH would be retired, perhaps to a riding horse, while WA will try to come back, possibly in a year's time, but it would be difficult for him to live up to such a high expectation before the classics as the best 3yo colt.

In addtion, Adam's Peak, 3yo colt out of Singhalese, also suffered a tendon injury. Whether coming back or not is unknown at the moment.


Well, personally, all recent favourite horses of mine either lost capacity to race again, suffered serious injuries, or just died. Sort of getting tired of watching racing.

Tosen Homareboshi was retired to the Breeders Stallion Station:

His syndicated shares are already sold out (price: private). His family line down from Crafy Wife(USA) is well-known for having produced several top horses in Japan, like Tosen Jordan (half-brother) and Company (a Shadai stallion).
