LUGALFollowing its last run in the Takamatsu Palace Memorial (G1, 1200m) on March 30th, this horse again adopted its usual front-running style but ultimately failed to maintain the lead, finishing seventh. Prior to that, in December's Longines Hong Kong Sprint (G1, 1200m), a slow start and racing wide throughout clearly hampered its performance, resulting in an eleventh-place finish. Notably, it struggled at the same venue in last year’s Takamatsu Palace Memorial due to soft ground, suggesting a preference for firmer surfaces. However, its impressive victory in September's Centenary Sprint Cup (G1, 1200m) was memorable; leading from a good position along the rail with a fast pace, it scored an upset win demonstrating explosive power under specific race conditions. Overall, this horse prefers to lead and performs better on good to firm ground, though its 2023 victory on heavy ground proves adaptability.
