Admire Moon won the $4.4 million Japan Cup, giving the crowd at Tokyo Racecourse a home winner for the second year in a row after holding off a strong challenge from Pop Rock and favorite Meisho Samson in a photo finish.
Chosan held the lead before tiring with just over 200 yards remaining, with Admire Moon taking charge and finishing a head in front of Pop Rock, who was a neck ahead of Meisho Samson. Vodka was fourth in the 18-horse field.
A total of 18 horses were in the lineup today. Foreign horses have won the event 14 times to Japan's 12, with local thoroughbreds the champion in seven of the past 10 years.
