Atlantic Bloodstock purchased her at auction, but I'm unsure of who owns her.
Pretty sure I read Sheikh Fahad got her. His wife, Sheikha Melissa, named Kameko. Maybe she chose Koneko's name, too?

Sheikh Fahad secures Kameko sibling

Few, if any, lots in the Arqana catalogue boasted quite as eyecatching a page as the Big Blue Kitten three-parts sister to Kameko, and the filly will now sport the same silks as her Classic-winning sibling after Sheikh Fahad personally stepped up to the plate to purchase the well-related youngster for £200,000.

The filly, consigned by Church Farm and Horse Park Stud, had been pinhooked from the final session of the mammoth Keeneland September Yearling Sale for the scarcely believable sum of just $5,000.

However, Kameko has done plenty to enhance the page since last September, namely winning the Group 1 Vertem Futurity Stakes at two and the 2,000 Guineas on his reappearance.

Further updates could be forthcoming, not least when the son of Kitten's Joy lines up as one of the leading fancies for the Investec Derby on Saturday.

"She was owned by a syndicate and they've had a right touch, which is what it's all about," said the sheikh's racing and bloodstock adviser David Redvers.

"Hopefully she'll look very cheap come this time next week. There's a lot riding on Epsom and the rest of the year. As Sheikh Fahad quite rightly said though, if she never runs she's going to make that price and more, so she was good value. She'll certainly be joining the broodmare band long term."
That makes sense!
Sheikh Fahad has been interested in Japan.

Just watched the replay of him finishing 2nd at Meydan on Thursday and immediately came here to see if that name was anywhere on one of these threads.

This has got to be one of the worst ones so far, it's one thing to rearrange sire and dam names to make a name but as soon as we start adding apostrophes, removing spaces, and making up words we have officially strayed too far from God's light.

Eww. I keep thinking there is no way the Fipke names get worse and its been numerous times in the past couple days that I just see horrific names. Someone needs to teach him how to use Equineline on his phone so he doesn't have to give them disgusting names anymore.
