Japan: Fan-Favorite Filly Chrono Genesis Delivers Popular Repeat Victory In Arima Kinen Sponsored by:
Chrono Genesis repeats in the 2020 Arima Kinen
Voted first pick by a record number of 214,742 ballots, race favorite Chrono Genesis displayed a determined performance in capturing this year s Arima Kinen (the Grand Prix), her third G1 victory following the 2019 Shuka Sho (G1) and this year s Takarazuka Kinen (the Grand Prix, G1). The Bago filly has become the 15th horse and the second mare to dominate both Grand Prix races following Lys Gracieux last year (11th horse to win both races in the same year). Not only is it the first time in 60 years for a filly/mare to claim the Arima Kinen title two years in a row, but also the record set by fillies/mares to claim G1 races open to both male and female runners in a single season has now been extended to nine.
