Christophe Lemaire's incredible run of results shows no signs of slowing down. On November 3rd at Funabashi Racecourse, the French ace guided odds-on favourite Mikki Fight (Colt, 4yo) to an emphatic victory in the JPN1 JBC Classic, pulling three lengths clear of runner-up Meisho Hario.
The triumph marked Lemaire's fourth consecutive G1-level win this autumn, following his victories in the Shuka Sho, Kikuka Sho, and Tenno Sho (Autumn).
The Shuka Sho, which he won aboard second favourite Embroidery, carried a first prize of 110 million JPY. The Kikuka Sho, his third straight win in that race with top choice Energico, offered 200 million JPY to the winner. He then claimed the Tenno Sho (Autumn) aboard Masquerade Ball, earning 300 million JPY in first prize, before adding another 100 million JPY from the JBC Classic.
Since jockeys receive 5% of the winning purse, Lemaire's four-race autumn G1 sweep has brought him an estimated 35.5 million JPY in prize money alone, a testament to both his skill and remarkable momentum during this historic stretch.
