Corazon Beat with Takeshi Yokoyama on board won her first graded stakes title with a track record time in the G2 Keio Hai Nisai Stakes. Logi Leon finished second and Orchid Romance came home in third. The winning time was 1:20.6, a track record time for two-year-olds by 0.2 seconds.

Winning jockey Takeshi Yokoyama commented, "Her movement during the race was better than I was expected. Keita (Tosaki) gave me lots of advice about her so I was well prepared for any kind of pace and race style," adding his thanks to jockey Keita Tosaki who was on the saddle from the second start to the last start.

With this victory, she is one step closer to being able to qualify for the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies with the sum of her earnings. Takeshi Yokoyama expressed his excitement at the prospect, "I always liked her since the debut," he said. "She is straightforward and easy to ride during the race. I am excited for the big stage and I am ready."
