Juryoku Pierrot, who carried Seina Imamura to victory in the Japanese Oaks in May, will not take up her entry in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe this autumn, according to trainer Ryo Terashima.The daughter of Happy Value (Zenno Rob Roy) will instead target the third leg of the Japanese Fillies' Triple Tiara, the G1 Shuka Sho at Kyoto on October 18 prior to a run in the November 15 G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup. Imamura is expected to retain the ride.Terashima told Net Keiba, “We've decided to stay domestic this year. Her win in the Listed Wasurenagusa Sho was so impressive that we pushed from our side just to get her entered, but even watching her in the paddock, she's not an easy horse. Her ability is extremely high, but for this year, we felt it was better to proceed in order, first against her own generation in a Group 1 and then against older horses in a Group 1.”He added, “At the moment, we're planning to go straight to the Shuka Sho and then on to the Queen Elizabeth II Cup without using a prep race. If she still has something left, the owner and I have also discussed possibly targeting the year-end Arima Kinen. From a pedigree standpoint, there is a desire to challenge a race like the Arc. We'd like to produce the kind of results in Japan that make people say, 'Maybe we should have gone after all,' and then perhaps consider that kind of opportunity again next spring.”The post Japanese Oaks Heroine To Skip Arc And Target Shuka Sho appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
