Fans went wild as rare 'unicorn' horse Sodashi stormed to victory in a £1.7 million race.
The white filly thrilled racegoers at Tokyo with her late burst in the Victoria Mile on Sunday. Naosuke Sugai's star had several lengths to make up on the leader on the run to the line. Jockey Hayato Yoshida galvanised his mount for a final effort and she powered clear for an impressive success.
“It was like a dream for a white horse to be able to win a Grade 1 race at Tokyo racecourse,” said Yoshida. In footage of the performance, huge cheers go out from the crowd as the 'white wonder' stretches ahead of her 17 rivals. The win earns her a place in the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Keeneland in November.
