The '98 Mainichi Okan featuring the battle between Japan's two greatest horses of the 90s.

The brilliant run-off Silence Suzuka VS the great El Condor Pasa.

It was there only meeting and El Condor Pasa's only career loss in Japan. He lost a big stretch duel with Montjeu in the Arc the following year, while Daylami struggled with the ground that day.

This was one of Silence Suzuka's 6 straight Group stake wins before breaking down with a 15 length lead on the far turn in the Emperor's Cup. The final time was 1:44 4/5ths for 9 furlongs.
