Very tough horse with a good turn of foot. He’s certainly something very special.

Legendary horse from JAPAN

Forever Young is a super horse! He always shows up, no matter what track, country or continent. He proves over and over again that he is the best dirt horse in the world. I can't believe how good this horse really is. Congratulations to the connections and a big Thank You for keeping him racing!

HASHIRE HASHIRE JOHN UMAMUSUME!

@Amabie0308

The owner of Forever Young is also the owner of Umamusume. Back-to-back championships? It’s incredible!

@wisteriawisteria1472

Congrats, FOEVER YOUNG?

@albertnuqui9682

Congrats to FY for the repeat, and to Nysos for a gutsy runner up in his first race at that distance and first time to travel outside the US. Bob was spot on that a 1&1/4 classic distance runner has an advantage due to track depth.

Umazing!

@lordtartaros3738

Without knowing Nysos I thought his name was spelled Nice Horse??

@???-13

The presence of two BC horses made the race more valuable. Nysos and Buffert showed strong determination, while Forever Young and Sakai displayed the pride of last year's champions.

I think forever young also set the record for the heaviest Japanese horse to win a G1.

He’s about 580kg here. Hishi Akebono was 560kg when he won the sprinters stakes in 1995

los japones tienen que hacerle una estatua en el aeropuerto de japon cuando lleguen los viajeros lo primero que vean es a este caballazo que grande eres Forever Young
