Lucky Kid

Godolphin’s homebred Lucky Kid took over the top spot on the Japan Road leaderboard when scoring a 22.50-1 upset in Sunday’s Hyacinth S. at Tokyo.

The Japan Road resumes late Saturday night (12:25 a.m. ET) with the Hyacinth S., where Triple Crown nominee Arcadia Cafe will try to emulate his half-brothers by winning the metric mile affair.

This week’s prep races figured to have limited impact on the Kentucky Derby and Oaks Power Rankings. In the end, it arguably had even less relevance than may have been imagined.
