Unfancied runner Peptide Nile ran away with the Dirt G1 at Tokyo.
He was the 11th pick in the field and started at around 40/1 but it was upsets all round when the second spot went to Gaia Force 12/1, having his first race on dirt, and Sekifu at 47/1. Fourth home was Tagano Beauty on 16/1. The trio was substantial, the trifecta (correct order in Japan) was enough to retire on and if you had the pick 4 you could probably buy the race course.
This means that Peptide Nile has an entry for the Breeders' Cup should they choose to go.
