Tamamo Black Tie, ridden by Hideaki Miyuki, surprised punters with victory in the G3 Falcon Stakes at Chukyo Racecourse. The three-year-old colt travelled prominently and benefited from a clear run up the rail to secure a hard-fought win at odds of 26/1. Race favourite Carro Veloce stayed-on resolutely but ultimately failed by just a nose.

Outsider of the 14 runners, Thousand Sunny at odds of 156/1, finished a further three lengths behind in third place. The trifecta returned at odds of 8328/1
