Tayasu Tsuyoshi (Japanese: タヤスツヨシ, April 26, 1992 - July 29, 2008)[5] was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse, the winner of the 1995 Tokyo Yūshun, and a breeding stallion.[3]
Tayasu Tsyoshi's first race was on August 7, 1994, at Sapporo, where he came in 3rd.[6] He ran the debut once again and had a same result before switching to eventually his most common jockey, Sadahiro Kojima.[7] This decision worked out for the team as he picked up his first win on September 25, 1994, at Chukyo Racecourse. The next race he joined was the Momiji Stakes at Hanshin Racecourse in which he lost to Fuji Kiseki by one and a quarter length behind.[8] He then redeemed himself by winning the Erika Sho on December 3, 1994.[6]
He won the biggest race of his career, by winning the 1994 Radio Tampa Hai Sansai Stakes and finishing it with a record time.[9] He had a good showing at the 1995 Satsuki Shō, coming in 2nd.[6] Then he won the biggest race of his career by winning the 1995 Tokyo Yūshun on May 28.[6] His win in the Yushun sparked for the beginning of Sunday Silence dominance era to come as he and Genuine won two classics (Satsuki Shō, Tokyo Yūshun) whilst Dance Partner took the Oaks.[10] He finished out his career quietly in 1995 with 5th and 7th place finishes at the Kobe Shimbun Hai and the Kyoto Shimbun Hai.[6] His final race was on November 5, 1995, at the Kikuka-shō, where he came in 6th.[6] He developed tendonitis after and was officially retired on July 27, 1996.[11]
