Japan: Six Undefeated Colts Among 18 Contenders For Asahi Hai Futurity

It's the turn of the colts this coming Sunday, when Hanshin Racecourse once again stages a Grade 1, with the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes run over a mile on the outer turf course at the Kansai track. It'll be the 73rd running of the race for 2-year-olds, with the exclusion of geldings, and the colts carry an allotted weight of 55kg.

This year sees 19 nominations for a maximum 18 runner field, and just to show the competition involved, six of the nominated horses are unbeaten in their short careers so far.

The winner's purse this year is JPY 70 million (about US$610,000). The race is timed to start at 15:40 Japan time, and will be Race 11 on the Sunday card at Hanshin.

Here's a look at some of the horses bidding for a win in the race:

Serifos: Trainer Mitsumasa Nakauchida won the race last year with Grenadier Guards, and while leading the trainers' table this year, he sends out this unbeaten colt by Daiwa Major here, who has won both the Grade 3 Niigata Nisai Stakes and the Grade 2 Daily Hai Nisai Stakes, as well as one other race in the three times he's been to the races. Visiting jockey Cristian Demuro has been booked for the ride, and the horse looks sure to be one of the favorites, as he tries to keep his unbeaten record intact. Serifos runs in the colors of the G1 Racing Co. Ltd.

Geoglyph: There's no doubting the potential of the chestnut colt by Drefong, who came home a four-length winner in the Grade 3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes over 1,800 meters (1 1/8 miles) at Sapporo in September. He won his only other race on his debut at Tokyo in June, also winning over 1,800 meters.

Assistant trainer Yu Ota said: “He ran well in the Sapporo Nisai Stakes, even though he was a bit too relaxed. Returning from the farm recently, he looks sharp, and the jockey reports the horse to be in good shape in training. With two wins over 1,800 meters, there shouldn't be any problem over a mile.”

Geoglyph looks set to be ridden by Christophe Lemaire, who has ridden the colt in both his starts to date.

Danon Scorpion: Another unbeaten colt, the son of Lord Kanaloa is coming off a win in the Hagi Stakes over 1,800 meters at Hanshin in October, and won his other race on his debut in June, also at Hanshin, over the course and distance of the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes. Step by step, he looks good for a shot at a Grade 1, and in a recent piece of work at Ritto on the woodchip course under race jockey Kohei Matsuyama, he posted a six furlong time of 81.9 seconds, with a final furlong time of 11.7 seconds, his third time to clock under 12 seconds in recent trackwork. The horse was bred at K.I. Farm and is trained by Takayuki Yasuda.

Dobune: The colt by Deep Impact was purchased for quite a sum at the 2021 Chiba Thoroughbred Sale, and has got his career off to a good start, winning both his races since September, the latest being the Kikyo Stakes over 1,400 meters at Chukyo in October, after winning a 1,500-meter race on his debut at Sapporo. He's trained by Koshiro Take, and the trainer recently said: “He's an intelligent horse and knows a lot already, as well as being quite relaxed. He can certainly take on a Grade 1 with the ability he shows, although he will need to run to his best.” Jockey Hayato Yoshida looks set for the ride on Dobune.

Do Deuce: Trainer Yasuo Tomomichi and jockey Yutaka Take team up here with the Heart's Cry colt, who is out of the American bred mare Dust and Diamonds, who in turn is from a strong line of other American bred horses. Do Deuce won on his debut at Kokura in September, and since then has won his only other race, the Listed Ivy Stakes over 1,800 meters at Tokyo in October. He's developing the right way, and has been working well, if only lightly, on the woodchip course at Ritto, as he also aims to stay unbeaten in the big race on Sunday.

“He's a horse with a lot of power and has good racing sense. He showed what a good finish he has when winning the Ivy Stakes last time,” said the trainer recently.

Otaru Ever: A confirmed frontrunner in what he's shown so far, the striking dark bay colt by Leontes cuts quite a dash when he's out in front, racing in the green and white checked colors of owner Ikuko Sumitani. He finished third in the Grade 3 Niigata Nisai Stakes, behind Serifos, over 1,600 meters in August, and he led all the way to win the Shumeigiku Sho over 1,400 meters last time at Hanshin in November. He's already repaying some of the JPY 45 million he cost at the 2020 Select Sale, and he's an interesting entry here.

Deep Impact Yearlings In The Spotlight

The foal session of the JRHA Select Sale is normally the headline-grabber, but the presence of four yearlings from the final crop of the late, great Deep Impact (Jpn) during Monday's opening session could just steal the show during the two-day sale in Hokkaido.

Deep Impact, the Triple Crown winner and breed-shaping sire, died on July 29, 2019, having missed much of the preceding covering season with the spinal issues that ultimately took his life. His small final crop was expected to contain around 20 foals, four of which will go under the hammer this week and will, in fact, bookend Monday's yearling session. They are lot 1, a colt out of GII Gulfstream Park Oaks and GII Black-Eyed Susan S. winner Go Maggie Go (Ghostzapper); lot 52, a filly out of GI Beverly D. S. winner Watsdachances (Ire) (Diamond Green {Fr}); 130, a filly out of the four-time winner Jewel Maker (Jpn) (Empire Maker); and lot 248, a colt out of champion and three-time Group 1 winner Sweep Tosho (Jpn) (End Sweep), who has produced seven winners from seven runners.

At the first renewal of Japan's market-leading sale following Deep Impact's death last summer, buyers were keen to get their hands on some of his last progeny and indeed he was responsible for the top six yearlings by price and twice during the session his progeny set a new record for high price for a yearling at the sale, topped by a half-brother to GI Kentucky Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia (Street Boss) who fetched ¥510-million (£3.77m/€4.19m/$4.75m) from Tetsuhide Kunimoto.

Deep Impact has continued to posthumously justify those buyers' confidence in the 12 months since the 2020 Select Sale; he earned his eighth consecutive champion sire title in 2020, his leading light being Contrail (Jpn), who was his third straight G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) winner-and sixth overall–and emulated his sire by winning the Japanese Triple Crown. For good measure, Shahryar (Jpn) continued the Deep Impact Tokyo Yushun procession this year.

Deep Impact likewise bolstered a remarkable record in Europe last July with Fancy Blue (Ire), winner of the G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Nassau S., and he notched a fourth European Classic winner in four years-and fifth overall–last month when Snowfall (Jpn) ran away with the G1 Cazoo Oaks by a record 16 lengths. Others to fly his flag over the past year include G1 Mile Championship, G1 Sprinters S. and G1 Victoria Mile winner Gran Alegria (Jpn); G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup scorer Loves Only You (Jpn); G1 Osaka Hai victress Lei Papale (Jpn); G1 Yasuda Kinen winner Danon Kingly (Jpn) and Fierce Impact (Jpn), who became the latest Australian Group 1 winner for his sire in the Makybe Diva S. Last year was, in fact, Deep Impact's best-ever year by stakes winners and calendar-year earnings, with 35 black-type winners notched (for 46 total stakes wins) and $78,145,659 in the bank.

The JRHA Select Sale will, of course, not be all about Deep Impact; leading local sires like Epiphaneia (Jpn), Heart's Cry (Jpn) and Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) are well represented. With the death of Deep Impact and King Kamehameha in 2019 and the more recent retirement of Heart's Cry, Japanese stud masters have made a significant investment in stallion prospects the past few years and those represented by members of their first-crop weanlings or yearlings here include American Horse of the Year Bricks and Mortar; G1 Japan Cup winner Cheval Grand (Jpn); champion 3-year-old Satono Diamond (Jpn); multiple Grade/Group 1-winning sprinter Mind Your Biscuits; Deep Impact's G1 2000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior (Jpn); and the Japanese-bred, American Grade I winner Yoshida (Jpn), who himself graduated from this sale. The catalogue also includes some of the first Japanese-bred progeny of GI Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome, and second- and third-crop progeny of American champion sprinter Drefong, who has his first runners this year.

Other highlights from Monday's yearling section of the catalogue include a Heart's Cry colt who is the first foal out of G1 Golden Slipper She Will Reign (Aus) (Manhattan Rain {Aus}) (lot 19); a colt by Satono Diamond out of G2 Oaks d'Italia winner Cherry Collect (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}), a stakes producer and half-sister to G1 Yorkshire Oaks victress Sea Of Class (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) (lot 65); a Daiwa Major (Jpn) colt out of GI Alcibiades S. winner and stakes producer Wickedly Perfect (Congrats) (lot 74); a Lord Kanaloa colt who is the first foal out of G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. winner Queens Ring (Jpn) (Manhattan Cafe {Jpn}) (lot 96); a Lord Kanaloa colt out of American champion female sprinter Finest City (City Zip) (lot 100); a colt from the first crop of American Triple Crown winner Justify who is the second foal out of GI First Lady S. scorer Zipessa (City Zip) (lot 113); a Heart's Cry colt who is the second foal out of triple Grade I winner Curalina (Curlin) (lot 132); a Heart's Cry son of French Classic winner Elusive Wave (Ire) (Elusive City), a stakes producer whose progeny have topped this sale twice (lot 141); and a colt by Just A Way (Jpn) out of Australian Classic winner Absolutely (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}) (lot 193).

Highlights of the foal section include a filly by Kizuna (Jpn) out of dual Group 1 winner Covert Love (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}) (lot 307); a colt by Duramente (Jpn) out of dual Grade I winner Vasilika (Skipshot) (lot 316); a Frankel (GB) colt out of GI Las Virgenes S. winner Callback (Street Sense) (lot 329); a Heart's Cry filly out of American champion 2-year-old She's A Tiger (Tale of the Cat), whose Heart's Cry colt was last year the second-top lot at the foal sale when bringing ¥270-million ($2,451,091/£1,763,058/€2,063,729) (lot 342); a colt by Maurice (Jpn) out of dual Grade I winner Photo Call (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (lot 388); and a Lord Kanaloa colt out of Australian champion Yankee Rose (Aus) (All American {Aus}) (lot 398).

The yearling session of the JRHA Select Sale begins at 10 a.m. local time on Monday, with the foal session following at the same time on Tuesday.

Full Brother To Yoshida Leads JRHA Foal Sale

While Monday’s yearling session of the JRHA Select Sale in Hokkaido, Japan, was all about the progeny of Deep Impact (Jpn), the late great champion sire had no produce in Tuesday’s foal session-his final crop containing only around 20 foals-and thus it was another son of Sunday Silence, Deep Impact’s former Shadai studmate Heart’s Cry (Jpn), who dominated proceedings during Tuesday’s foal sale. Heart’s Cry was responsible for the three highest-priced lots, all sold by Northern Farm and out of American mares.

Last year’s foal sale had set records for aggregate (¥9.78-billion/£72-million/€80.2-million/$89.8-million) and average (¥50.4-million/£371,286/€413,262/$462,765) and so the fact that Tuesday’s figures were slightly off from those numbers during the first foal sale for many years without Deep Impact’s presence is no disgrace. At the close of trade 203 foals had changed hands from 226 offered for a clearance rate of 89.9% that matched last year’s figure. The aggregate of ¥8,334-billion (£61,994,126/€68,162,184/$77,708,299) was off by 14.8%, while the average of ¥41,054,187 (£305,607/€335,946/$382,799) was down 18.6%. The median proved more stable, dipping by just 3.3% to ¥29-million (£215,876/€237,282/$270,336).

Teruya Yoshida, owner of Shadai Farm and chairman of the JRHA, recognized the challenging climate globally and the absence of Deep Impact.

“I would like to express my sincere thanks to the owners and trainers for attending the sale during such a challenging period and for supporting the market,” Yoshida said. “The market was slightly down today and I think the key factor is the absence of Deep Impact. When Northern Dancer died, the top end of the bloodstock market in America declined, and same thing happened here today.

“On the other hand, I believe the quality of mares we have in Japan is world-class and the quality of horses bred in Japan is world-class as well. I think the buyers were confident [enough] to make big investments in the horses we offered.”

Passion Prevalent Again

Taking top billing at the foal sale was the full-brother to Yoshida (Jpn) (Heart’s Cry {Jpn}), who will himself have the opportunity to reinvigorate the Sunday Silence line in the U.S. having just completed his first season at stud at WinStar Farm in Kentucky. Yoshida, who proved extremely versatile on the racecourse while winning Grade Is on both dirt and turf, was himself a graduate of this sale, having been bought by WinStar for ¥94-million (£699,266/€768,826/$876,375) from the yearling session in 2015. Tuesday’s colt (lot 365) is just the second progeny of the dam Hilda’s Passion (Canadian Frontier) to visit the ring, and he was bought by Yoshihisa Ozasa for ¥380-million (£2,827,376/€3,108,491/$3,542,793).

Ozasa did not attend the sale but said in a statement through Racing Manager Morito Kajihara, “I think this is the outstanding individual in today’s catalogue. I was bidding in earnest and am very happy to buy such a fantastic young horse. I hope he grows up well and will be in the field of major races in future.”

Yoshida is not the only luminary on the page; Hilda’s Passion herself won the seven furlong GI Ballerina S. at Saratoga and was bought by Katsumi Yoshida for $1.225-million from Fasig-Tipton November in 2011. Tuesday’s colt is her eighth foal, and in addition to Yoshida she is also responsible for the G3 Shinzan Kinen victress Sanctuaire (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}).

The Yoshida brothers have made a regular habit of plundering the auction rings at America’s breeding stock sales for some of the best-credentialed mares, and that strategy certainly paid dividends on Tuesday. The year before he had swooped for Hilda’s Passion, Katsumi Yoshida took home the champion 2-year-old filly She’s A Tiger (Tale of the Cat) from Fasig-Tipton for $2.5-million. The GI Del Mar Debutante winner-who crossed the wire a nose ahead of another Katsumi Yoshida recruit, Ria Antonia (Rockport Harbor) in the 2013 GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies before being demoted to second for interference-has already produced the winning 4-year-old Tigrasha (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), while her 3-year-old filly by Daiwa Major (Jpn) and 2-year-old daughter of Deep Impact are as-yet unraced. She’s A Tiger’s latest produce, a Heart’s Cry colt (lot 407), was her first progeny to visit a sale ring and the bay was bought by Masahiro Noda of Danox Co. Ltd for ¥270-million (£2,008,925/€2,208,536/$2,517,987).

“As there are no Deep Impacts on the market anymore, we decided we would like to buy a very nice foal by Heart’s Cry,” said Yoshiki Okada, racing manager to Masahiro Noda. “Our team inspected the consignment from Northern Farm and made a short list of foals by Heart’s Cry. He was on the short list and Mr. Noda selected this one from the list. The mare She’s A Tiger, who was the U.S. champion juvenile filly, is very good-looking horse and the foal is also good looking. The price was more than we expected but Mr. Noda did not want to stop bidding.”

A Deep Impact half-brother to GI Kentucky Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia (Street Boss) was the star turn of Monday’s yearling session, setting a record price for a JRHA yearling of ¥510-million (£3,794,400/€4,171,800/$4,756,197). The dam Sheave (Mineshaft)’s colt foal by Heart’s Cry (lot 383) was in the spotlight on Tuesday as the third-highest priced foal when bought by Miwa Holding for ¥210-million (£1,562,400/€1,717,766/$1,958,361). Sheave was a private acquisition by Northern Farm.

Kanaloa Colt An Early Highlight

The first $1-million-plus foal of the sale came early in the session when a Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) colt (lot 316) out of the G1 Premio Lydia Tesio and G2 Oaks d’Italia scorer Final Score (Ire) (Dylan Thomas {Ire}) fetched ¥200-million (£1,488,061/€1,636,565/$1,865,106) from Ryouichi Ootuka. While many bidders battled it out for remaining heirs to the Sunday Silence line, Ootuka-who won last year’s G1 Kikuka Sho with World Premiere (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn})-said he was taking a different approach.

“This is the pick of the day for me,” Ryoichi Ootuka said. “He is from a very successful female line, which is full of black-type, and it caught my fancy that he is Sunday Silence free, which would be a big advantage when he becomes stallion. While the price is more than I thought, I did not want to miss him.”

Final Score’s first two foals are both black-type placed. She is herself out of the listed-winning Holy Moon (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}), who produced three consecutive Oaks d’Italia winners in Cherry Collect (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}), Charity Line (Ire) (Manduro {Ger}) and Final Score-the latter two also won the Lydia Tesio-and the Italian Group 3 winner Wordless (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) before throwing her best produce of all, the G1 Yorkshire Oaks and G1 Irish Oaks winner Sea Of Class (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).

Lord Kanaloa, who has indeed proven an exciting outcross, provided another highlight lot in 539, a colt out of G1 VRC Oaks winner Kirramossa (NZ) (Alamosa {NZ}) bought by Tetsuhide Kunimoto for ¥140-million (£1,041,642/€1,145,777/$1,305,781). A colt out of GI Santa Anita Oaks winner Crisp (El Corredor) (lot 445) brought ¥80-million (£595,360/€654,560/$746,160) from G. Riviere Racing.

Sister To Champion Shines

Dual Horse of the Year Kitasan Black (Jpn)-by Deep Impact’s full-brother Black Tide (Jpn)–had first-crop yearlings selling on Monday but it was on Tuesday that he shone brightest with two foals cracking the top 10. First up was a half-brother to last year’s champion 2-year-old filly Resistencia (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}) (lot 334) bought by Azabu Shoji for ¥190-million (£1,413,980/€1,554,580/$1,771,966), and he was followed by a colt out of G1 July Cup winner Fleeting Spirit (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) (lot 484) picked up by INZEL Co Ltd for ¥110-million (£818,620/€899,896/$1,025,875).

The foal sale featured a filly from the first crop of American Triple Crown winner Justify (lot 397), and she went the way of Takeshita Koichi for ¥80-million (£595,360/€654,490/$746,049). The chestnut is out of Not Now Carolyn (Tapit), a daughter of Maryfield (Elusive Quality) who, like Hilda’s Passion, won the Ballerina S. and has produced the G2 Futurity S. second in Ireland, Radio Silence (War Front). A filly from the first crop of Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (lot 323) brought ¥41-million (£304,978/€335,421/$382,350) from Miyazaki Toshiya.

New JRHA Record For Deep Impact Colt

Almost a year after his death, Deep Impact (Jpn) still casts a long shadow over Japanese racing and breeding and the legendary stallion was responsible for two new records and the six most expensive yearlings at the JHRA Select Sale, at which turnover was down only fractionally from a record-breaking session in 2019.

The first record was set just 56 lots into the yearling session when his son out of the GII Santa Ynez S. winner Forever Darling (Congrats) sold for ¥400 million (£2.95m/€3.28m/$3.73m) to Masahiro Noda of Danox Co Ltd. That stood for only a matter of hours until lot 114 entered the ring. The dark brown colt, a half-brother to the Kentucky Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia (Street Boss) and offered by Northern Farm, swiftly set a new high price for the sale of ¥510 million (£3.77m/€4.19m/$4.75m) when bought by Tetsuhide Kunimoto, who has already enjoyed top-level success with a son of Deep Impact in the 2015 Japan Cup winner Shonan Pandora (Jpn). Like that colt, Kunimoto’s latest acquisition will be trained by Tomokazu Takano.

“I have been involved in the ownership of racehorses for more than 35 years and I am sure this is one of the best yearlings I have ever seen,” said Kunimoto of the son of the unraced Mineshaft mare Sheave, whose Deep Impact 2-year-old has been named Satono Sky Turf. “I visited Northern Farm three times to inspect yearlings and went to the barn of Northern Farm at the sales ground this morning. I was determined to buy him. Price is no object with regard to this colt and I hope his quality is as high as his price.”

Absolute Lady (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the dam of dual French Classic winner La Cressonniere (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), was bought privately by Teruya Yoshida of Shadai Farm in 2016 and her first mating with Deep Impact produced a colt, who was offered as lot 67 and will in future race in the same colours as his sire after being bought by Kaneko Makoto Holdings Co Ltd for ¥220 million (£1.62m/€1.81m/$2.05m).

In all, 13 members of the penultimate crop of Deep Impact were catalogued for the sale, and 12 sold for an average price of ¥2.08 million (£1.54m/€1.71m/$1.94m). The stallion covered just 24 mares at Shadai in 2019 before succumbing to the neck injury that would ultimately claim his life.

Heart’s Cry (Jpn), Deep Impact’s erstwhile stud-mate and fellow son of Sunday Silence, has long been a dependable performer for Shadai and top among his 21 yearlings in the catalogue was lot 50, a half-brother to the American champion juvenile filly Champagne Room (Broken Vow), and another from leading consignor Northern Farm, who sold for ¥190 million (£1.4m/€1.56m/$1.77m). His dam Lucky To Be Me (Bernstein) was bought by Katsumi Yoshida for $1.25 million at the Keeneland November Sale of 2017 when carrying the colt now known as Lucky Mo (Jpn) (Uncle Mo).

The Shadai Stallion Station was dealt a double blow when King Kamehameha (Jpn) died just a fortnight after Deep Impact last August, having been pensioned before the 2019 covering season. Ten members of the former dual champion sire’s final crop were offered for sale at Northern Horse Park, including lot 258, the last horse through the ring who, according to sale custom, was sold without reserve. None was needed, however, as the daughter of Marciano (Jpn) (Fuji Kiseki {Jpn}) brought the hammer down in favour of Azabu Shoji at ¥170 million (£1.25m/€1.39m/$1.58m) to end the sale as the second-most expensive filly of the day. Her dam is a sister to the top-class sprinter-miler and stallion Kinshasa No Kiseki (Aus), while another half-sibling, Catshaan (Aus) (Catrail), has produced the G1 AJC Australian Oaks winner Absolutely (Aus) (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}).

Alongside the vast array of offspring of Japanese stallions, both Kitten’s Joy and Caravaggio made a mark when each represented by a ¥105 million (£775,063/€861,761/$979,461) yearling.

The Kitten’s Joy colt (lot 147), bought by Masahiro Noda and consigned by Shadai Farm, is out of the GI Santa Margarita S. winner Joyful Victory (Tapit). The mare’s current 3-year-old Saqqara King (American Pharoah) is in training for Godolphin with Charlie Appleby and won last year at Newmarket as well as twice being listed-placed in France.

The War Front mare Old Time Waltz, a daughter of the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup winner Together (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was exported to Japan in 2018 when carrying a foal from the first crop of Coolmore’s Caravaggio. The resultant offspring, also a first foal for the mare, was offered as lot 174 through Northern Farm and will race, like the King Kamehameha filly, for Azabu Shoji.

Despite the fact that international visitors were unable to travel to the sale this year, and that Japanese travel restrictions had meant late inspections for most domestic purchasers, the yearling section of the JRHA Select Sale posted its second-highest level of turnover in its history following the record returns of 2019. The aggregate of ¥10.43 billion (£77m/€85.5m/$97.2m) was amassed by the sale of 229 yearlings at an average price of ¥45,537,118 (£336,330/€373,427/$424,557). The median of ¥31 million (£228,958/€254,202/$289,023) was unchanged from last year.

Assessing the market at the end of the yearling session, Northern Farm principal Katsumi Yoshida, said, “This is an amazing market. I was actually worried about the market because there were travel restrictions in Japan until June 19 and owners and trainers could not come [to Hokkaido] to inspect yearlings catalogued until then. I am very happy with the gross, which is the second highest at the yearling session, and am more than happy with the clearance rate of 92%. I would like to express my sincere thanks to owners and trainers who supported the market.”

The JRHA Select Sale concludes on Tuesday with a single session of 238 foals.
