他望着记分牌上那个巨大的≈ot;2≈ot;字，又看向那个把第三名甩得无影无踪的差距，长叹一声，用力拍了拍栏杆。
北欧神话中，诸神的黄昏是众神与巨人同归于尽的终末之战。
而在这片皇家草坪上，一匹来自东方的赛马，在黄昏的光影中触碰到了赛马发源地欧洲所谓的≈ot;神≈ot;的衣角。他没能将神拉下王座，却搏斗到了最后一步、最后一息。
这半个马身的距离，虽是败北，亦是刻下的第一枚勋章。

这是一场真正经典的盛夏巅峰对决，前段步速平均，但是最终演变成一场令人血脉喷张的双马单挑，将其他高水平赛驹远远甩在身后。冠军确立了其欧洲最强马的地位，但他被迫拿出了全部看家本领，因为这匹来自日本的挑战者表现出了惊人的进步。完赛时间出人意料的快，验证了前两名马匹的精英级评分。

望族 (法)，凯旋门大赛冠军，确立了自己作为世界最佳中长距离马的地位，尽管他被迫竭尽全力才击退了一个令人震惊的挑战；他在后方稳定走势，行进间力量感十足，直道入口处从外侧顺畅推进，最后2弗隆处加速挑战领先马，在强力推骑下展现了充沛的后劲，于最后50码取得领先并保持至终点；他是一匹罕见的天才冠军，“+”号表示，鉴于这场比赛的水平无法准确定义，评分仍有上升空间。

2 northern river (jpn) 北方川流
ratg: 131+
负重weight: 9-7 (605kg)
血统pedigree: adjudicatg - oonlight nata(northern taste)
赔率isp：17/2
评论ntary:
northern river (jpn), whose previo japan cup was workanlike rather than spectacur, produced a career-best perforance that was a revetion, takg the highest-rated horse trag to the very liit; tracked pace on ner, travelled strongly, kicked clear turng , opened up 2 lengths lead and looked the ner until fal 100 yds, headed but kept on galy; a assive step forward on for, though it reas to be seen if he can back this up or if this was a ≈ot;lightng a bottle≈ot; perforance on favorable fir ground the ≈ot;+≈ot; dicates that the ality of this race depends on the horse&039;s subseent perforance, and there is still roo for the ratg to iprove
北方川流 (日)，虽然前走赢下日本杯的表现只能说是工整而非惊艳，但本场比赛跑出了职业生涯最佳水准，令人大开眼界，将现役评分最高的马逼到了极限；在内栏紧跟步速，走势强劲，转入直道后加速甩开对手，一度建立2个马身的优势并看似胜券在握，直到最后100码被超越，但依然顽强坚持；这是其状态的巨大飞跃，不过他究竟是真正达到了世界一流水平，还是仅在有利的硬地上昙花一现，仍需后续观察。“+”号表示，这场比赛的水准取决于该马的后续发挥，评分仍有上升空间。

血统pedigree: rahy - jood (nijsky)
赔率isp：13/2
评论ntary:
fantastic light (a), a globetrottg racer, ran a respectable race but was siply blown away by the front pair; tracked leaders, ridden 3f out, outpaced by runner-up turng , kept on one pace fal furlong, beaten 4 1/2lengths; he is a -css horse his own right, which puts the perforance of the o to stark perspective
奇异光芒 (美)，环球征战的实力马，跑出了一场值得尊敬的比赛，但仅仅是被前两名彻底摧毁了；全程紧跟领先集团，最后3弗隆处受催策，入直道时跟不上前方的节奏，最后一弗隆保持均速，最终落后55马身；他本身已是实力赛驹，这更加反衬出前两名马匹发挥的恐怖。

大利波 (爱)，加冕杯冠军，表现不算丢脸，但对手实力太强；紧跟领放马，最后4弗隆处开始推骑，在直道入口处失去位置，勉强坚持获得第4名；证明其实力低于顶尖的精英层级。

空中神宫 (日)，日本二千坚尼（皐月赏）的冠军，在其欧洲首秀中令人大失所望；处于中游，早段抢口，在斯温利底路段已受压，直道上迅速力弱；显然无法适应起伏的赛道或对抗古马的坚实步速。
