Teio Sho | Horse Racing Free Tips

Produced wide off the final corner, Meisho Hario (Jpn) (Pyro) knuckled down late and was shoved across the line by Suguru Hamanaka to just touch off perfect-trip Crown Pride (Jpn) (Reach the Crown {Jpn}) to become the first horse to successfully defend his title in the 2000-metre Teio Sho at Ohi Racecourse. T O Keynes (Jpn) (Sinister Minister), fourth at 1-2 last year and the 2-1 favourite this time around, kicked on strongly between the top two in the final 30 metres, but was forced to settle for third.

Meisho Hario bounced alertly from gate four, but drifted back through the field, as Silk Racing's well-backed Promised Warrior (Jpn) (Majestic Warrior) made the running. Crown Pride, the 2022 G2 UAE Derby winner, landed in the box seat for Yuga Kawada, while T O Keynes raced in that one's slipstream a few lengths in arrears. Riding for luck into the straight, Kawada sent Crown Pride through inside of a weakening Promised Warrior with a furlong to travel and set sail for the wire, but Meisho Hario kept grinding away farther out into the track and got the better of the bobber.

Meisho Hario returned 18-1 when besting mutliple G1 Dubai World Cup placer Chuwa Wizard (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}) in this event 12 months ago and closed the season with a third to future World Cup hero Ushba Tesoro (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}) in the Dec. 29 G1 Tokyo Daishoten over Wednesday's course and distance. An excellent third to Lemon Pop (Lemon Drop Kid) in the G1 February S. Feb. 19, Meisho Hario was exiting a victory in the Listed Kashiwa Kinen at NAR Funabashi May 4.

A half-brother to T O Royal, third to Titleholder (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}) in the 2022 G1 Tenno Sho (Spring) over 3200 metres, Meisho Hario has a 2-year-old half-brother by Drefong, a yearling half-brother by Bricks and Mortar and a half-sister by Rey de Oro (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}) foaled May 17. Third dam Amizette (Forty Niner), a full-sister to former Japanese-based stallion Twining and a half to American champion Althea, produced European MGSW King of Rome (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and US GSW/GISP Super Espresso (Medaglia d'Oro).

Making his first start since a seventh to Maximum Security (New Year’s Day) in the $20-million Saudi Cup Feb. 29, reigning champion Japanese dirt horse Chrysoberyl (Jpn) (Gold Allure {Jpn}) got the jump on defending race winner and even-money favourite Omega Perfume (Jpn) (Swept Overboard) to take out a Group 1-quality renewal of the Teio Sho (2000m) Wednesday evening at Ohi Racecourse.

Tracking the pacesetting Wide Pharaoh (Jpn) (Henny Hughes) from a three-wide perch in third, Chrysoberyl–last year’s G1 Champions Cup hero–was asked for a bit of run entering the second turn to hold his spot inside of Omega Perfume, who made a bold five-deep move in an attempt to improve his position. Chrysoberyl was popped the question in upper stretch by Yuga Kawada, pinched a break into the final furlong and held firm as Omega Perfume gave game chase. Chuwa Wizard (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}), last year’s runner-up, closed late for third.

With the victory, the progeny of Chrysoprase have now earned close to US$13 million. Chrysoberyl’s older full-brother Chrysolite (Jpn) was a five-time stakes winner on the NAR circuit, including the 2013 Japan Dirt Derby, before romping home to win the inaugural Keeneland Korea Cup in 2016. He now stands stud in that country. Chyrsoprase is also responsible for G1 Takarazuka Kinen winner and champion Marialite (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and the 3-year-old colt Verdite (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), a debut winner over 2000m on turf last December. Chrysoprase’s most recent foal is a yearling colt by Horse of the Year Kitasan Black (Jpn).
