Stellenbosch reversed the form with Ascoli Piceno from last year's Hanshin Juvenile Fillies by winning the Oka Sho. She appeared in good health at the Ritto Training Center where she was staying on April 8th. "She ate up and there seems to be no problem with his legs. I am relieved for now," smiled Tamura, the assistant in charge.

This was a first G1 title for the daughter of Epiphaneia. Tamura added "I feel like I'm floating in the sky. When jockey Moreira came back with a smile on his face, I couldn't stop crying, and couldn't help it". Stellenbosch is scheduled to leave the Ritto Training Center today, April 9th.
