Here are the horses of interest for this weekend running at Niigata and Kyoto Racecourses, the latter of which plays host to Sunday’s G1 Shuka Sho, the final leg of the Japanese Triple Tiara. Daring Tact (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}) will go favored to become the sixth to complete the sweep, joining the likes of Gentildonna (Jpn) and Almond Eye (Jpn), but would be the first to do so undefeated. Daughters of US Grade I winners Ria Antonia and Hilda’s Passion will try to play the role of spoiler:

LUCKY MO (JPN) (c, 2, Uncle Mo–Lucky to Be Me, by Bernstein) is a half-brother to 2016 GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Champagne Room (Broken Vow) and was purchased in utero for $1.25m at the Keeneland November sale in 2017. Bred on the same cross over Storm Cat as champion and GI Kentucky Derby hero Nyquist, Lucky Mo is also a half-brother to a colt by Yoshida (Jpn)’s sire Heart’s Cry (Jpn) that fetched ¥190m ($1,775,701), the joint sixth-highest price at this year’s JRHA Select Yearling Sale.

Jackie’s Warrior Dam, Weanling Half-Brother Supplemented to Keeneland November

Both the dam of and weanling half-brother to unbeaten leading juvenile colt Jackie’s Warrior (Maclean’s Music) have been supplemented to the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, it was announced Sunday–one day after the Steve Asmussen pupil further solidified himself as the favorite for the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile with a 5 1/2-length romp in Saturday’s GI Champagne S. at Belmont. Dam Unicorn Girl (A. P. Five Hundred) will be offered in foal to leading sire Into Mischief; her weanling colt is by American Pharoah. Both will be consigned by Beau Lane Bloodstock during the Book 1 session on the sale’s first day, Nov. 9.

“It was a very impressive victory for Jackie’s Warrior in the Champagne, and Unicorn Girl in foal to Into Mischief on one cover and carrying a colt will be well received at Keeneland November,” said Carlo Vaccarezza, who owns the mare and weanling with John Williams. “Also selling the weanling half-brother to Jackie’s Warrior by American Pharoah will show what she’s capable of moving forward. John and I are extremely excited for this opportunity.”

Beau Lane offered: “There is no telling what Unicorn Girl can do with a foal by Into Mischief. She is a powerhouse. She tried her heart out every time she raced. She’s a quality mare who was an overachiever, and she passes that on to her babies. They have the same attitude. She is the kind that can give you that special horse.”

A debut winner at Churchill in June, Jackie’s Warrior–a $95,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by J. Kirk and Judy Robison–annexed the GII Saratoga Special S. Aug. 7 and GI Runhappy Hopeful S. back at the Spa a month later.

“Jackie’s Warrior proved his star power with his dominating performance in the Champagne, and we look forward to seeing him at Keeneland for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile,” Keeneland President-Elect and Interim Head of Sales Shannon Arvin said. “Keeneland is especially excited to offer his dam, Unicorn Girl, who is in foal to the popular stallion Into Mischief, and his weanling half-brother in the November Sale.”

Catalog pages for both horses will be released later this week. Click here for a promotional video.
