Repole Stable is happy to announce we made our first purchase in Japan!

We bought this filly by champion Orfevre out of my former multiple graded stakes winning mare Unlimited Budget for 33 million yen at the Chiba Thoroughbred Sale.

Will this filly ship to the US????

Thank you, Starine!
You made my day.

Some of Mr Repole's comments on bloodhorse also caught my eyes.

Repole said the Chiba sale purchase was facilitated by Pat Cummings and Alex Solis II.

"I've been so impressed with the Japanese breed," Repole told BloodHorse. "I actually bought some Deep Impact mares last year. Obviously I raced the mare Unlimited Budget, so that was a big factor. I also like the sire."

Repole said he has no problem with the Japanese buying American mares, "as long as we have the ability to buy mares in Japan for the U.S."

"I would love to trade some of my mares for some Japanese mares. I want to buy more Japanese horses.

I would like to believe that this is just the beginning, haha!
And I can't to wait to see this Orfevre filly race in the US!!!
