Rivara (Jpn) (Kinshasa no Kiseki {Aus}) surprised 11 of her competitors in the G3 KBS Kyoto Sho Fantasy S. when she split the odds 69-1 into a 1/4 win over Hanshin on Saturday.

Still under slight pressure from Ballerina (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}), she headed straight into the house with her ears perked up. Hardly sent by Shu Ishibashi at the time, she stole a march on her opponents and built enough base to counter the second 5-2 pick. Bouton d’Or (Jpn) (Big Arthur {Jpn}) and Red Hill Shoes (Jpn) (Heart’s Cry {Jpn}), who appeared from the clouds with their demonstration. A split length chase.
Asked for the third time in the heat of newcomers to Fukushima in July, Rivara recovered to win a Niigata maiden over 1200 meters on August 14. The illusion was her first attempt in distance 1400 meters.
