On the 25th, the field and gate numbers for Hong Kong's G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize were confirmed. Mad Cool will start from gate number 11. Groom Nagura emphasized, "Mad Cool is a horse with a good start, so as long as we secure a good position, we are not too concerned about the inside or outside gates." Sunrise Ronaldo drew gate number 6. Groom Yasuda commented, "I think starting from the middle to the inside is good, so number 6 is fine. I believe jockey Damian Lane will position him well."

In the G1 Champions Mile, Elton Barows has drawn gate number 5. Trainer Haruki Sugiyama was calm after the draw, stating, "I don't particularly feel that we've got a difficult gate, not too far inside nor too far outside." Obamburumai will start from gate number 10. Trainer Yoshimura commented, "I didn't want the inside gate, so being on the outside isn't a problem." On the same day, Obamburumai also conducted a workout on the turf, clocking 51.6 seconds for 4 furlongs. "The time was faster than planned, but he felt fresh, and the atmosphere was good," Yoshimura added, expressing his satisfaction.

In the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup, North Bridge has drawn gate number 3. Trainer Okumura said, "It's a race where we wanted an inside gate, so it's like a wish come true." Hishi Iguazu, starting from gate number 1, will have a strategy "to achieve the best performance," according to Trainer Hori. Prognosis will start from gate number 5, and rider Kiyoyama commented, "We want to discuss and develop a strategy in consultation with the trainer and jockey Yuga Kawada."
