It was revealed on the 27th that Blow the Horn, winner of the G1 Takarazuka Kinen, is scheduled to start his autumn campaign in the G2 Kyoto Daishoten.

Trainer Tatsuya Yoshioka explained, "He's done himself no damage in the first half of the season and seems to be taking it easy, thanks to his lighter frame. The owner has mentioned the Kyoto Daishoten as his next target." The horse was sent to the pasture farm on the 27th.
