Almond Eye sets World Record, Arc target for 2019
At Tokyo Racecourse on Sunday the 25th for the 38th Japan Cup, post time favorite Almond Eye justified the hype. The Longines clock stopped at 2:20.6 when she finished the 2400m race over Tokyo’s massive turf course. She shaved 1.5 seconds off the track record and set a new world record for 12 furlongs. She also became the second three-year-old filly, after 2012’s Gentildonna, to win the Japan Cup. From five starts this year, Almond Eye has completed a perfect season with four G1 wins, and she looks to take on the world next year. Almond Eye will be looking to deny Enable a third consecutive Prix de l’Arc de Triumph next October.
