The Reiko Hara colourbearer was content to race near the rear of the pack as Castle Top (Jpn) (Bamboo Ere {Jpn}) cleared his rivals and raced on an uncontested lead. After entering the backstretch, Omega Perfume began to make inroads toward the front, and with less than a half-mile remaining, punched the breeze well out in the centre of the track right behind the pacesetters as the far turn loomed. Another Truth (Jpn) (I'll Have Another) had taken over leadership duties in the meantime, and Omega Perfume sidled closer to the rail on the far turn to save some ground. He was in a good rhythm and poised in third before throwing down his challenge a quarter-mile from the wire. It took him the length of the lane, but he gradually wore down stretch leader Clincher (Jpn) (Deep Sky {Jpn}) to keep his Daishoten winning streak intact. It was two lengths back to Westerlund (Jpn) (Neo Universe {Jpn}) in third, who was a neck in front of fourth-place finisher Mutually (Jpn) (Pyro).

The consistent grey did not begin racing until he turned three, but in addition to winning the Tokyo Daishoten four times (2018-2021), he has also filled the runner-up spot in the Listed JBC Classic at Kyoto on four occasions 2018-2021. Second in the Listed Kawasaki Kinen to start his year in January, he resurfaced with a fifth in the Listed Teo Sho at Oi on June 30 prior to his second-place finish in the JBC Classic on Nov. 3.

Pedigree Notes

Although he stood his entire career in Japan, the late Swept Overboard was a dirt star Stateside, winning the 2002 GI Metropolitan H. and 2001 GI Ancient Title Breeders' Cup H. Omega Perfume is one of two Group 1 winners, six group winners and 10 black-type winners for Swept Overboard.

The first foal produced by the three-time winning Omega Frangrance, Omega Perfume leads the quartet of winners from four to race for the daughter of Gold Allure. She missed to Mind Your Biscuits for 2020, but does have a weanling colt by Epiphaneia (Jpn) and was bred back to Bricks and Mortar.

Outfooted early in the initial charge from the stalls, the grey rated in eighth three off the fence into the first turn. A bit keen in the opening quarter mile, the 1-5 chalk progressed up to sixth as Work and Love (Jpn) (Sinister Minister) held a three length advantage on the field. Improving a few more spots with a half-mile remaining, Omega Perfume remained well off the inside as the final 400 metres loomed. He let down strongly in upper stretch and challenged Casino Fountain (Jpn) (Casino Drive {Jpn}) for the lead, while History Maker (Jpn) (Empire Maker) and Westerlund (Jpn) (Neo Universe {Jpn}) were making up ground on the inside and outside, respectively. However, Omega Perfume’s determined drive wore down his rival inside the final 25 yards to win by a neck with the luckless Casino Fountain a half-length in front of Westerlund for second. History Maker was fourth, a nose behind.

Second in the Listed Japan Dirt Derby over the same track and trip as the Tokyo Daishoten in 2018, Omega Perfume did land the G3 Sirus S. one start later and claimed his first Tokyo Daishoten that December. At four, he accounted for the Listed Teio Sho that June and three starts later his second Tokyo Daishoten, incidentally exactly a year ago. The G3 Heian S. went his way in May, and runner-up performances in the Teio Sho on June 24 and the Nov. 3 Listed JBC Classic were his latest two outings prior to Tuesday’s contest.
Pedigree Notes
Omega Perfume is one of two Group 1 winner for his late sire besides dual G1 Sprinters S. hero and sire Red Falx (Jpn). He is also one of 10 black-type winners for the 2001 GI Ancient Title Breeders’ Cup H. and 2002 GI Metropolitan H. victor.
The first foal of his three-time winning dam, Omega Perfume is followed by the winning 4-year-old filly Blooming Bouquet (Jpn) (Workforce {GB}) and the placed sophomore colt Extra Note (Jpn) (I’ll Have Another). Omega Fragrance has a yearling colt by Roses in May and she was covered by Epiphaneia (Jpn) this spring.
