Harp Star rolled from the back of the big field to win Sunday's Group 1 Oka Sho, or Japanese 1,000 Guineas, at Hanshin Racecourse by a neck over Red Reveur. Nuovo Record was third. Harp Star, a Deep Impact filly, ran 1,600 meters in stakes-record time of 1:33.3. "It's as if she knew this was a big, Grade I race," said winning rider Yuga Kawada, "because she gave it her best."
