Forever Young to race in final career start at Tokyo Daishōten

Forever Young, trained by Yoshito Yahagi, is set for his final race on December 29, 2026, at the Grade 1 Tokyo Daishōten at Oi Racecourse. This decision follows a distinguished career in which the five-year-old has won numerous top international races, including two Saudi Cups and the Breeders' Cup Classic. Yahagi emphasized the importance of allowing local fans a last chance to see the champion race in Japan, despite other enticing options for retirement. Forever Young will retire to Shadai Stallion Station after his farewell race, expected to continue his legacy in breeding.
