He was the 11th pick in the field and started at around 40/1 but it was upsets all round when the  second spot went to Gaia Force 12/1, having his first race on dirt, and Sekifu at 47/1.  Fourth home was Tagano Beauty on 16/1.  The trio was substantial, the trifecta (correct order in Japan) was enough to retire on and if you had the pick 4 you could probably buy the race course. 

This means that Peptide Nile has an entry for the Breeders' Cup should they choose to go.
