A group of nine horses from Japan bound for the Breeders' Cup are scheduled to arrive at Santa Anita Tuesday, according to Santa Anita Stall Superintendent Jeff Metz.
Among Japan's expected contingent are Dubai World Cup (G1) winner Ushba Tesoro and former classic starter Derma Sotogake, who came to the U.S. earlier this year for the Kentucky Derby (G1) and finished sixth.
Two years ago at Del Mar, horses from Japan collected their first-ever wins in a Breeders' Cup. Marche Lorraine lit up the tote board in the Distaff (G1) when prevailing by a nose at 48-1 and Loves Only You won the Filly & Mare Turf (G1) at 4-1.
According to Metz, an additional 42 horses from Europe are scheduled to arrive at Santa Anita on Sunday, Oct. 29. The 40th Breeders' Cup will be run Nov. 3-4 at Santa Anita.
