Expensive Bolt d’Oro Breezer Gets Going in Japan

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 weekend running at Kokura, Niigata and Sapporo Racecourses:

Saturday, September 3, 2022
5th-SAP, ¥13,400,000 ($96k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1500mT
EMETH AMOUR (f, 2, Union Rags–Trensa, by Giant's Causeway), a $220,000 Keeneland September graduate, is a full-sister to GISW juvenile and current Spendthrift stallion Free Drop Billy; a half to dual Group 1 winner, champion and Japanese first-crop sire Hawkbill (Kitten's Joy); and to the dam of GSW/GISP 'TDN Rising Star' Emmanuel (More Than Ready). The Jan. 27 foal looks to become the sixth winner from seven foals for the Michael Matz-trained Grade III-placed turf distaffer Trensa, a daughter of GI Ballerina S. winner Serape (Fappiano), whose other produce include treble Grade III winner Batique (Storm Cat). The American Pharoah yearling half-sister to Emeth Amour is cataloged as hip 96 to Keeneland September. B-Helen K Groves Revocable Trust (KY)

5th-KOK, ¥13,400,000 ($96k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200mT
FROM DUSK (c, 2, Bolt d'Oro–Foolish Cause, by Giant's Causeway) fetched $200,000 at last year's KEESEP sale, but lit up the tote at OBS March to the tune of $900,000 after breezing an eighth of a mile in :9 4/5. A half-brother to juvenile stakes winner Foolish Humor (Distorted Humor), the dark bay is out of a half-sister to the late Get Stormy (Stormy Atlantic), a three time Grade I winner on the turf.

Sunday, September 4, 2022
6th-NII, ¥13,400,000 ($96k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1400mT
NITRO JOURNEY (c, 2, Speightstown–Twice the Lady, by Quiet American) was scooped up for $340,000 at last year's KEESEP sale about three months before half-brother Doppelganger (Into Mischief) earned 'TDN Rising Star' honors on Los Alamitos debut. The latter would go on to hit the board in this year's GII San Felipe S. and GIII Affirmed S. The colt's SW/MGSP dam was purchased for $350,000 by WinStar at the 2013 Fasig-Tipton November Sale and she has since amassed a perfect produce record from three previous foals to the races. B-WinStar Farm LLC (KY)

11th-KOK, Kokura Nisai S.-G3, ¥58.6k ($418k), 2yo, 1200mT
PROTOPOROS (JPN) (c, 2, War Front–Cavale Doree {Fr}, by Sunday Break {Jpn}) is the first foal from his French Group 3-winning dam, also third in the 2016 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, and who was purchased by Katsumi Yoshida for the equivalent of $883,272 at the 2019 Tattersalls December Mares Sale. The bay debuted in the Carrot Farm green-and-white hoops going this distance at Chukyo June 16 and made light work of that group, graduating by 3 1/2 lengths as a 2-5 shot should (video, SC 1). Yuichi Fukunaga is back in the irons this weekend. B-Northern Racing

Notable US-Bred and -Sired Runners in Japan: June 12, 2022

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 Chukyo and Hakodate Racecourses:

Sunday, June 12, 2022
2nd-HAK, ¥9,900,000 ($74k), Maiden, 3yo, 1700m
SWEET ZAZ (f, 3, Nyquist–Century Park, by General Meeting) was beaten double digits into 12th when debuting in a nine-furlong turf event in March, but switches to perhaps a more suitable surface for this second go. A $67K Keeneland September buyback, the late April foal is out of the winner of the 2009 GIII Santa Ysabel S. (synthetic) who was purchased by Narvick International out of the 2017 KEENOV sale and produced a filly by Exaggerator in Kentucky that was subsequently exported to Japan. Century Park dropped Sweet Zaz in the Bluegrass and has also since been sent to Japan, where she foaled a colt from the first crop of GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint winner Four Wheel Drive (American Pharoah) Mar. 25. B-Takahiro Wada (KY)

5th-CKO, ¥13,400,000 ($100k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200mT
PROTOPOROS (JPN) (c, 2, War Front–Cavale Doree {Fr}, by Sunday Break {Jpn}) debuts in the Carrot Farm green-and-white hoops and is the first foal from his dam, a Group 3 winner in France and third in the 2016 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf for trainer Christophe Ferland. Cavale Doree was purchased by Katsumi Yoshida for 650,000gns ($883,272) with this colt in utero at the 2019 Tattersalls December Mares Sale. B-Northern Racing

 

ART PEPPER (c, 2, Frosted–Tim's Girl, by Broken Vow) cost trainer Hideyuki Mori $150K at KEESEP last year and is out of an unraced full-sister to Grade I-placed juvenile filly Broken Spell–the dam of SW Lord Dragon (Oxbow)–and a half-sister to recent Horseshoe Indianapolis S. winner Heavenly Hellos (Overanalyze). The gray colt's third dam Be a Prospector (Mr. Prospector), a half-sister to the important sire Belong to Me, produced MGSW Away (Dixieland Band), the dam of MGSW/GISP Eight Belles (Unbridled's Song).
