Japanese racing fans are discussing the Shuka Sho, with news that Juuryoku Piero's connections will skip the race, meaning no Shuka Sho–Oaks double winner is in the field this year. Coverage on netkeiba notes only three past instances of such a sweep, including Fine Motion's 2002 campaign. Jockey Seina Imamura is also drawing search interest alongside the autumn G1 race in Japan.

Japanese racehorse Juuryoku Piero will not be entered in the Shuka Sho, the final leg of the fillies' Triple Crown. Netkeiba notes that with the omission, no winner of both the Oka Sho and Japanese Oaks will contest the race, something seen only three times before, including Fine Motion's victory year of 2002. Racing fans are debating the decision and what it means for the filly's autumn campaign.

Japanese horse racing fans are focused on Lobchenk as the Kikka-sho, the final leg of the Triple Crown for three-year-olds, approaches. A projected field published by netkeiba lists Lobchenk among 22 possible runners alongside Danon History, with the colt drawing attention as one of the notable entries for the race at Kyoto.
