TOKYO — Eishin Flash stormed to victory in Japan's Emperor's Cup Sunday to end a winless streak of more than two years for the five-year-old. Italian Mirco Demuro steered Eishin Flash past favourite Fenomeno to win in a nail-biting finish and secure a first win since the 2010 Japan Derby. Watched by Japan's Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, making a rare appearance at the races, Eishin Flash clocked one minute 57.3 seconds over the 2,000-metre Tokyo Racecourse. Second favorite Rulership finished third, just behind Fenomeno. It was also a first Emperor's Cup victory for trainer Hideaki Fujiwara. — AP
