SATONO REVE notched his first G1 triumph in the Takamatsunoiya Kinen

Satono Reve delivered his impressive performance from the middle position and secured his first G1 victory in the Takamatsunomiya Kinen (1200m, turf) at Chukyo on Sunday. Ridden by Joao Moreira who has received the JRA short-term stint, Satono Reve not only avenged his half-brother Hakusan Moon’s defeat in the race ten years ago and but also saw him follow in the footsteps of his sire Lord Kanaloa.
Opting to hold back just behind the leading pack after a good start, he used other horses as windshields to conserve energy until the crucial moment. With 250 meters to go, he swung Satono Reve to the outside and ignited his finishing kick.
Hammered down to Hajime Satomi for 54,000,000yen in the 2019 JRHA Select Sale Foal session, the 6-year-old horse by Lord Kanaloa, Satono Reve took his first graded race success in the G3 Hakodate Sprint Stakes (1200m) in June and won the following G3 Keeneland Cup (1200m) in August. He finished disappointing 7th in the G1 Sprinters Stakes but showed his class when finishing 3rd in the G1 Hong Kong Sprint last time.
