Yusuke Fujioka and Peptide Nile are off to a great start to 2024 with their victory in the G1 February Stakes. With Peptide Nile winning the race, the payout of trifecta reached 1,530,500 JPY.

This is the second G1 title for the winning jockey Fujioka, and the first G1 title for trainer Hidenori Take. Fujioka reflected: "(The) pace was fast and I was worried if he could stay until the end. I could position ourselves upfront without much of a contest and that worked well for us. This victory is all on him," he added with a huge smile.
