It was the 2nd starts for Ocean Seven. He ran a good race in previous time against already-run horses. He was chosen to be the favorite here.
He missed the break but quickly got into the stride. He got up to the mid position going around the first turn.
When the pace quickened up, Ocean Seven was pushed along. He started charging last 1 furlong. He close at home but he was about 1 length short in 3rd.
He looked promising in the future.

It was the first try in the Graded Stakes company. He was still the favorite.
He was slow into the stride. The pace was vary fast early part of the race. Great Pearl had hard time keep up with the pace. His engine started going in the backstretch. He gradually made up the ground. He was sitting in the 2nd position, going into the straight.
He was in the front 1 furlong out and kept the safety lead and won in a good style.
Great Pearl is a Graded Stakes winner now and plenty more to come in the future.

We waited for this horse to grow and get mature till this moment. Gilded Armour was the 3rd choice in the race, even though it was the first time out for him.
He raced from the middle of field. He was pressed in the backstretch, showed greenness. He was brought to the outside of track in the straight. He closed at home but 1 length short and finished 3rd.
He showed his ability in his first start.
