4th-CKO, ¥9,680,000 ($85k), Maiden, 2yo, 1600mT
SPEED GLAMOUR (f, 2, Into Mischief–Island Escape, by Petionville) has finished runner-up in her last two, a seven-furlong turf maiden at Tokyo Oct. 10 and a similar finish over that main track 13 days later (see below, SC 3). A $250K Keeneland September RNA turned $500,000 OBS March breezer is out of a three-time stakes-winning mare who is also responsible for Tricky Escape (Hat Trick {Jpn}), herself a treble Grade III winner on turf (x2) and sloppy dirt. This is also the extended female family of Grade I winners Wild Syn (Wild Again) and Awesome Humor (Distorted Humor). B-Machmer Hall (KY)

Sunday, December 5, 2021
4th-NKY, ¥13,400,000 ($118k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200m
FREUD SENSE (c, 2, Street Sense–Fenwick Hall, by Freud) is the second foal from his stakes-placed dam, a full-sister to MSW Miss Narcissist. Bought back on a bid of $110K at KEESEP last fall, the New York-bred fetched $160K at OBSMAR after working a quarter-mile in :21 flat. Freud Sense hails from the female family of Mighty Eros (Freud), the stakes-winning dam of GSW & GISP Faypien (Ghostzapper). B-Final Furlong Stable (NY)

Notable US-Bred Runners in Japan: Nov. 7. 2021

In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for this Sunday running at Hanshin and Tokyo Racecourses, featuring the much-anticipated debut of one of this year's breeze-up sales toppers:

Sunday, November 7, 2021
2nd-TOK, ¥9,680,000 ($85k), Maiden, 2yo, 1400mT
WALKER TESORO (f, 2, Speightstown–January Jones {Brz}, by Shirocco {Ger}) is the second foal from her Brazilian Group 1-winning dam, who was acquired privately by these breeders and mated to a sire with which they have experienced much success. Walker Tesoro returns to the course and distance of her Oct. 17 career debut, a solid runner-up effort from a high draw that should have her sitting on a win (see below, SC 16). Speightstown, the sire of 33 winners from 41 to race in Japan, has accounted for the owner's Rieno Tesoro, a stakes winner on dirt and Group 1-placed going a mile on turf against males. B-Mr & Mrs Kenji Ryotokuji (KY)

4th-HSN, ¥13,400,000 ($118k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200m
CLOS DE MESNIL (f, 2, Practical Joke–Valiant Emilia {Per}, by Pegasus Wind) was bought back for $65K as a Keeneland November weanling in 2019, but improved into a $120K KEESEP yearling and attracted a sales-topping bid of $750K from trainer Hideyuki Mori at this year's OBS March Sale after breezing an eighth of a mile in the bullet time of :9 4/5. The Mar. 18 foal was the most expensive of the eight juveniles Mori signed for at OBSMAR. Each of the remaining seven horses has already started, led by Dugat (Practical Joke), a $190K purchase who broke his maiden for this filly's owner Susumu Fujita by four lengths at Hanshin Oct. 16. Clos de Mesnil's third dam produced Peruvian GSW/G1SP Thundering Emilia (Thunder Gulch), whose son Helium (Ironicus) upset this year's GII Tampa Bay Derby, and she is also the dam of Peruvian G1SW Emilia's Moon (Malibu Moon). B-Teneri Farm (KY)

Munnings’s Eda Easy As You Like in the Anoakia

Baoma Corp's Eda (Munnings) made light work of four fellow juvenile fillies to post her first stakes success in facile fashion in Sunday's Anoakia S. at Santa Anita.

Away without incident from the inside stall, the bay was beaten for speed, then angled away from the fence to stalk the pace outside of Shes Bout a Mover (Mastery) through a quarter in :21.90 and a half in :44.98. Pressing past the front-runner with a minimum of fuss at the head of the lane, Eda was under very little urging from Flavien Prat, who took a quick peek to his left to look at the infield screen to make sure the race was in safe keeping. In the end, Eda had 2 1/4 lengths to spare on the maiden Lady T (Into Mischief), while her stablemate Benedict Canyon (Midnight Lute) ran on for third.

Second, but promoted to first in her June 19 debut going five furlongs over this surface, Eda missed by a head to Elm Drive (Mohaymen) in the GII Sorrento S. at Del Mar Aug. 6. That effort established Eda as the clear favorite for the GI Del Mar Debutante, but she dropped back to finish fifth after attending a punishing early pace.

Bred in Kentucky by Nate McCauley, who successfully raced Munnings's daughter Venetian Harbor in partnership, Eda was a $240,000 Keeneland September yearling who matured into a $550,000 OBS March juvenile after breezing in :10 flat. Show Me is the dam of a weanling filly by Karakontie (Jpn) and returned to Munnings for her most recent covering. Eda is the 53rd black-type winner for her sire.
