Eishin Flash after racing
He won the 2012 Tenno Sho (Autumn) with the Emperor watching, and Mirco Demuro dismounted and bowed to the imperial box: one of the images of modern Japanese racing. Retired from stud, he arrived at Versailles Resort Farm on 31 October 2025, forming a trio from a golden crop with his contemporaries Rose Kingdom and Hiruno d'Amour. That jet-black coat is as good as ever.
