3rd-CKO, ¥10,480,000 ($72k), Maiden, 3yo, 1800m
CUPIDON (c, 3, American Pharoah–Chocolate Pop, by Cuvee), a half-brother to the versatile MGSW & GISP Airoforce (Colonel John), finished midfield in two tries over this distance at Hanshin last year and made his seasonal return with a runner-up effort in a 1400-meter allowance at Urawa on the NAR circuit June 1. A $300,000 purchase by Kokhi Maeda out of the 2021 Keeneland September sale, the gray would become a 31st Japanese winner for his Triple Crown-winning sire. Springhouse Farm acquired the multiple stakes-placed Chocolate Pop in foal to Bernardini for $460,000 at Keeneland January in 2017. B-Camas Park Stud & Lynch Bages Ltd (KY)

BUSHIN (c, 2, Into Mischief–Flawless, by Mr. Greeley), the full-brother to Horse of the Year Authentic, switches to a minimum trip on the dirt for this third go, having finished a debut third at a mile on the grass June 3 and second over six furlongs at this venue June 24 (see below, SC 8). Flawless was offered with this colt in utero at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton November Sale days after Authentic's championships-clinching victory in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic, but was retained by Peter Blum after bidding reached $4.1 million. Bushin fetched $800,000 at Keeneland September last fall and the mare has since foaled a pair of Into Mischief fillies for Blum. B-Peter E Blum Thoroughbreds LLC (KY)

BUSHIN (c, 2, Into Mischief–Flawless, by Mr. Greeley) is a full-brother to 2020 Horse of the Year Authentic, whose dam was offered two months after the latter won the GI Kentucky Derby and just 24 hours following his victory in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic, but was led out unsold on a bid of $4.1 million with this colt in utero at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. An $800,000 Keeneland September acquisition by trainer Hideyuki Mori on behalf of owner Susumu Fujita, Bushin is kin to a yearling Into Mischief filly named Priceless, and the 16-year-old Flawless foaled another full-sister to Authentic this past Mar. 30.
