It was the first G1 victory for himself and his jockey, Katsuhide Maruyama, who rode him in nearly all of his races. However, it was not very well received at first:
"The day marked the final day of racing at Hanshin Racecourse before it underwent a complete renovation over the course of several years. Furthermore, it had been announced that this would be Oguri Cap's final race in the Kansai region. As a result, the highest attendance in the history of the Takarazuka Kinen was approximately 86,000 people. When the Takarazuka Kinen came to an end, with Oguri Cap losing and Osaichi George winning, there was a moment of silence in the stadium." (Translated from Japanese Wikipedia)
