T.M. Opera O continued to roll, notching his sixth straight win this year with a 2 1/2-length victory in the 122nd Emperor's Cup at Tokyo on Sunday.

Running as No. 13, the 4-year-old chestnut champion blasted not only the "jinx" that has kept the race favorite from the winner's circle of the race's fall version for the past 12 years, but a similar jinx on his young rider, Ryuji Wada, who until Sunday had never won at the Tokyo course.
