ITM 2024 Japan Cup Roundtable Preview

Mike Pribozie hosts a stellar panel of JRA experts, including Klaus Ebner, Alan Carasso, and Alex Henry, to discuss the 2024 Japan Cup. This year, a stellar field with Japanese and European interests will race over 2400 meters at Tokyo Racecourse.

Headlining the three from abroad is the Irish-bred, six-time G1 champion Auguste Rodin, whose win of the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Ascot in June secured his eligibility for the JC bonuses. France fields Goliath, winner of this year’s King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, and Germany brings this year’s Grosser Preis von Baden champion Fantastic Moon.

Japan’s team lost last year’s Japan Cup runner-up Liberty Island to the Hong Kong Internationals, but previous month’s Tenno Sho champ Do Deuce, 2024 double classic winner Cervinia, 2023 Tenno Sho (Spring) winner Justin Palace, double G1 winner Stars on Earth, and eight others, will go to the gate Sunday gunning to keep the big money at home.
