Do Deuce (5yo, colt), who was set for his final race in the G1 Arima Kinen but withdrew due to lameness in his right foreleg, will leave the Ritto Training Center as scheduled on December 25. Trainer Yasuo Tomomichi confirmed the plan on December 24. The colt will first move to Northern Farm Tenei in Fukushima Prefecture before arriving at Shadai Stallion Station in Abira, Hokkaido, where he will begin his stud career. "His body is fine, and he's eating well," said trainer Tomomichi.

Shadai Stallion Station also announced on its website that Do Deuce's initial stud fee will be set at 10 million JPY.
