Japanese star Obamburumai produced an explosive finale to give the $10 million Golden Eagle its first International winner in spectacular fashion at Rosehill on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Japanese are known for being a class above in racing and Obamburumai\u2019s victory could result in more raiders targeting the Sydney spring.<\/p>\n

Still a three-year-old, Obamburumai was given a perfect ride from Josh Parr, who replaced the injured Yutaka Take during the week. He stuck to the rail, on a day when that was a huge advantage, before driving through on the inside of Pericles to nab him in the final couple of strides.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Japanese team have made me very comfortable since I picked up the ride [on Tuesday] and I\u2019m super proud and pleased to be able to pull out a decent ride for them and get the job done,\u201d Parr said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wasn\u2019t the big horse I expected [on Wednesday] but the feel he gave me had me very confident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually had a phone call from my mum last night and she said, \u2019What can I expect?\u201d I said, \u2018I\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019s the best horse I\u2019ve sat upon but he\u2019s going to need a lot of luck\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got the luck and he showed his ability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obamburumai had been buried back in the fence midfield as the Godolphin\u2019s Golden Mile found the front and controlled the tempo to the turn. When Zac Lloyd accelerated on Golden Mile in front, he let Pericles off his back and the stablemate looked the winner into the 100m.<\/p>\n

But Pericles started to drift out under pressure, allowing Obamburumai to come through with a stunning burst.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was adamant to hold the back of Hawaii Five Oh, which I thought would have to be one off [the rail], but he got pushed to the fence and I got pushed to the fence as well,\u201d Parr said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I ended up following the one I wanted but on the fence.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the horse\u2019s credit, he adapted to that situation. I knew from the 500m mark all I needed was clear air.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got it, even though there was a decent gap to the leaders, I knew I was going to win. It was a pretty nice last 200m because he really let down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obamburumai, which was backed from $12 to start $7, charged through to win by a long neck from Pericles ($12), with Golden Mile ($41) hanging on for third another half-length away.<\/p>\n

Obamburumai\u2019s trainer Keiji Yoshimura was left screaming his charge home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the perfect ride from Josh,\u201d he said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t so much confident, but knew the horse was ready to run his best.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be able to win on such a big stage, the international stage in Australia, it gives me a confidence boost going forward as a trainer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behind there were hard-luck stories with favourite Amelia\u2019s Jewel suffering bad interference in the straight and ran 11th.<\/p>\n

Ben Melham thought he was the winner on Pericles when he charged past Golden Mile.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really went quick when I came off the leader\u2019s back,\u201d Melham said. \u201cI thought he was home. Just got beaten by a better one on the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lloyd said Golden Mile couldn\u2019t have done any more.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gave me a great thrill. That was a peak performance by the horse,\u201d Lloyd said.<\/p>\n
