The 125th Emperor Akihito and 125th Empress Michiko were there to observe the race. An event like this is named ''Tenran Keiba'' (天覽競馬, lit. "Imperial Visit to the Races"). The next time the Emperor went to watch a Tenno Sho was 7 years later in 2012, and the last in Showa.
			** Sweep Tosho was seen refusing to move an inch until Ikezoe dismounted her and had to tag along the leading staff, making the Emperor's eventful visit awkward for Ikezoe.
