Epiphaneia has always threatened to do great things and on Sunday at Fuchu he did it.

He's got great breeding as he's by Symboli Kris S and his dam Cesario had won the American Oaks in California, so she would be very proud today.

No excuses for the beaten brigade with Just A Way second and Spielberg the best of the 3yos in third place.

Gentledonna was game in defeat and finished fourth, just in front of Harp Star and the best of the overseas horses was Ivanhowe who came storming down for sixth place.

One and Only was 7th, Fenomono 8th, Isla Bonita 9th and Tamamo Best Play 10th. Of the other overseas runners Up With The Birds finished 16th and unfortunately Trading Leather was pulled up in the straight.

Christophe Soumillon was the winning jockey and the trainer Katsuhiko Sumii who used to train Vodka.

The crowd today exceeded the 100,000 and although rain was threatening at one stage it didn't come but having the race so late in the day (even if it is only 4pm) meant that it was quite gloomy.

Epiphaneia has continued the domination of the race by the 4yos.
