[1] His major wins include the 2010 Tōkyō Yūshun and the 2012 Autumn Tenno Sho, as well as the 2010 Keisei Hai and 2013 Mainichi Okan.

[6] The horse was then sent to the Satsuki Shō, where he was the 11th most favored to win but managed to finish 3rd, securing priority entry to the Japanese Derby.

This marked the first Tokyo Yushun victory for both Uchida, trainer Hideaki Fujiwara, and owner Toyomitsu Hirai.

Later at Takarazuka Kinen, Katsumi Ando [ja] took over the role of jockey following another accident that left Uchida injured.

After a summer break, the horse started off unplaced in the Mainichi Okan, but at the Autumn Tenno Sho, which became the first Tenno Sho in 7 years to be attended by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, the horse won his first race in 13 starts, and his second Grade I race since the Japanese Derby.

Following the race, Eishin Flash's jockey, Mirco Demuro, dismounted from the horse, removed his helmet, and knelt in front of the Emperor and Empress.

[5] As Toyomitsu Hirai passed away on the March 2, ownership of the horse was transferred to Katsuhiko, his second born son.

He was planned to run in the Arima Kinen as his final race, but his gait showed signs of problems, and as a result the horse was scratched.
