About
Eagle Farm R6 XXXX QTIS Three-Years-Old Handicap – Giapponese is a 3yo chestnut colt from Australia trained by Stephen Lee. He is by Admire Mars out of Bounding Along. Giapponese has recorded three victories so far. On 31 Jan 2026 at Eagle Farm he claimed his most important win, taking the $85,000 QTIS 3-y-o Hcp. The horse has been profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 983% return on investment.
