Ascoli Piceno, was an emphatic winner of the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies' to maintain her unbeaten record. The champion two-year-old filly returned to Miho Training Center at around 3:30 a.m. on the 11th. "She looks a little tired, but she is eating well. That's the great thing about her." said assistant trainer Suzuki.

"I was nervous that Ascoli Piceno wouldn't hold on to her lead and be passed because the other horses came from the inside and outside to challenge in the straight. She was strong enough to hold on! I hope she will mature and grow up again by the spring, and I hope she will be able to compete in the big races." he said.
