Danon Decile (Japanese: ダノンデサイル; foaled April 6, 2021) is a Japanese thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2024 Japanese Derby.

Background

[edit]

Danon Decile was foaled at Shadai Farm in Chitose, Hokkaido on April 6, 2021. He was bought by Danox [ja], the asset management company of Mitsuhiro Noda, at the 2022 JRHA Select Sale [ja] Yearling Session for 135 million yen.[2]

Danon Decile was later put in the stable of Shogo Yasuda [ja] at Ritto Training Center.

Racing career

[edit]

2023: Two year old season

[edit]

Danon Decile debuted at a newcomer race for 2-year olds held at Tokyo Racecourse over a course of 1600m on October 9, where he came in fourth behind Fabulous Star. The horse won his first race at a maiden race on October 28 held at Kyoto Racecourse over a course of 1800m. Danon Decile finished the season off in November 25's Kyoto Nisai Stakes, his first graded race, where he placed in the rear of the pack throughout the race before catching up to take the lead, only to finish fourth behind Shin Emperor [ja].[3]

2024: Three year old season

[edit]

Danon Decile started the season off with the Keisei Hai, held on January 14 at Nakayama Racecourse, where he ran 5th for most of the way before taking the lead on the final stretch. Urban Chic attempted to catch up to the horse, but managed to stave him off with a 3/4 length lead; securing his first graded victory and the title of the oldest JRA jockey to win a graded race for Norihiro Yokoyama, who was his jockey and was 55 years and 10 months and 23 days old at the time.[4] The horse also received some additional attention as reviews of the race footage revealed the horse had defecated during the race.[5]

The horse was later entered in to the Satsuki Sho on April 14, but was scratched at the last minute after the horse showed signs of lameness on his right foreleg.[2][6]

On May 26, at the 91st Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), the horse was placed in the front of the pack, where he was able to take the lead from Justin Milano on the stretch. This marked Yokoyama's 3rd Derby win, and the oldest JRA jockey to win any graded JRA race at the age of 56 years 3 months and 4 days, surpassing Yutaka Take's previous record of 54 years 9 months and 10 days.[7] Meanwhile, his trainer, Shogo Yasuda, won his first GI race with this race, and also became the youngest trainer to win the Japanese Derby at 41 years 10 months and 19 days old.[8]
