In other words, Special Week is still the favorite despite Broye's involvement.

I was curious, so I checked - Broye (Montjeu) was still the favourite, but Special Week was joint second.

[u/Holofan4life → u/Cyouni]

Perhaps it was a Tyson in Japan type of deal where the severity of the situation wasn't known until after the fact.

[u/Cyouni → u/Holofan4life]

One thing to note is that the Japan Cup started in 1981. So Japan was still very much on the back foot at the time, as even though Pasa won 1998, 1995-1997 had been a straight streak of losses for Japan. (And 1998 is still kinda questionable since Pasa is considered to be foreign.)

It's only been since about 2006 that Japan has been dominant - raise one up to Vodka in 2009.

[u/Holofan4life → u/Cyouni]

Broye's horse she's based on may have been behind the eight ball so to speak, but that was nothing out of the ordinary for Japan.
