2011 Takarazuka Kinen

A total of 16 horses assemble for the 2011 Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin on Sunday, June 26.

Buena Vista, coming off a narrow second in the Yasuda Kinen, will get a lot of support for favorite. The extended distance would be welcomed.

The main oppositions to Buena Vista are likely to be Rulership, winner of the May 28 grade two Kinko Sho and Eishin Flash, a runner-up in the grade one Tenno Sho Spring on May 1.
