Deep Impact Filly Stars in Queen Cup

Akaitorino Musume earned her first black-type and group win in the G3 Daily Hai Queen Cup at Tokyo on Saturday. In midfield three paths off the fence through the initial stages, the 4-1 second choice sat six deep through 1000 metres in :58.40. She cruised into contention at the 400-metre mark, took over a furlong from home and withstood the late runs of Art de Vivre and favoured Kukuna to win by a neck. The same margin separated that duo in second and third, respectively, while A Shin Hiten (Jpn) (A Shin Hikari {Jpn}) was another three-quarters of a length back in fourth.

Off the board in a Niigata newcomer affair in August, the dark bay saluted over the same 1600-metre trip in a maiden at Tokyo on Oct. 17. She made it two on the bounce with a score in the Akamatsu Sho there on Nov. 22. Saturday was her sophomore bow.

Pedigree Notes

Akaitorino Musume's victory on Saturday gave her late sire Deep Impact his 169th black-type winner and 135th group winner. Others bred on the cross of Deep Impact over a King Kamehameha mare include G1 Japanese Derby hero Wagnerian (Jpn) and MGSW & MG1SP Denim and Ruby (Jpn).

The fourth runner, winner and first stakes winner for her Japanese dual champion dam, Akaitorino Musume is a full-sister to the MGSP horse Jinambo (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and the GSP Rhinebeck (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}). Since foaling the winner, 2010 Japanese Filly Triple Crown heroine Apapane has a Black Tide (Jpn) yearling filly and was covered by that sire last spring.

Siskin to Stand at Shadai Stallion Station in 2021

Classic winner Siskin (First Defence-Bird Flown {GB}, by Oasis Dream {GB}) will stand for ¥3,500,000 at Shadai Stallion Station in Japan, the stud announced on Tuesday. It was earlier revealed the Juddmonte homebred’s breeding rights had been sold to a group of breeders in June.

Trained by Ger Lyons, Siskin won his first five starts, breaking his maiden at Naas in May of his 2-year-old year and quickly adding a listed race later that month, before first tasting group success in the G2 Railway S. that June. He saluted in the G1 Phoenix S. two months later and was put away for the winter. The son of the winning Bird Flown returned at three to salute in the June 12 G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and was also third in the G1 Sussex S. in July. Fourth in the G1 Prix du Moulin later that summer, he was unplaced in the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile and his record stands at 8-5-0-1 and $566,021 in earnings.

Siskin’s dam is a half-sister to SW & GSP Barsanti (Ire) (Champs Elysees {GB}) and SW & MGISP Lockdown (First Defence), as well as the dam of U.S. Champion Older Mare Close Hatches (First Defence), herself the dam of MGSW and GI Belmont S. runner-up Tacitus (Tapit). His third dam won the G3 Ballyogan S. and foaled European Champion 2-Year-Old Xaar (GB) (Zafonic) among others notable runners.

Grade 1 Winner Nadal To Enter Stud In Japan

Nadal, a Grade 1 winner who went unbeaten in his four career starts, has been sold to enter stud at Shadai Stallion Station in Japan for the 2021 breeding season.

A fee will be announced at a later time for the 3-year-old son of Blame, who raced for owners George Bolton, Arthur Hoyeau, Barry Lipman, and Mark Mathiesen. Bob Baffert trained the colt, who was retired in May after suffering a condylar fracture in his left foreleg, requiring surgery.

Up until that point, Nadal was considered one of the favorites for this year's Triple Crown races, boasting an imposing record in California and Arkansas. He debuted in January of his 3-year-old season, winning a maiden special weight at Santa Anita Park by 3 3/4 lengths. He then made his stakes debut in the Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes, winning by a half-length.

The colt began pointing toward the Triple Crown in earnest with a shift to Oaklawn Park, where he took the G2 Rebel Stakes, then exploded to win a division of the G1 Arkansas Derby by three lengths.

Nadal retired with earnings of $1,053,000.

Bred in Kentucky by Sierra Farm, Nadal is out of the placed Pulpit mare Ascending Angel, putting him in the family of champion Pleasant Stage and Grade 1 winner Journey Home. He was a $700,000 purchase at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Selected 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale.
