She already had a Tapit who was apparently conformationally unimpressive. Today, I was told that she may actually be going back to Ireland by way of the US (that makes no sense, except it's Coolmore and their ways are a mystery, so I don't even try to figure it out). She could go to any number of stallions there, but perhaps she will visit Camelot or No Nay Never?

Neoattraction(GB), 3yo c, Montjeu x Attraction(GB), won his debut at Kyoto (1600m turf) on 18 Jan. The dam, not imported, is the best 2yo filly in the Cartier Racing Awards 2003.

The pair of his owner and trainer, Mr Yamamoto and Kazuo Fujisawa, took Casino Drive to the Belmont Stakes (unraced due to an injury) and the BC Classic in 2008.

Spielberg's trainer, Kazuo Fujisawa, officially announced the plan yesterday. The 6yo winner of 2014 Tenno Sho autumn (G1) , accompanied by his stablemates, Super Moon (6yo h) and Lelouch (7yo h), is going to fly to England in May for the 2000m G1. Depending on his form over there, he might add another G1, probably Eclipse Stakes(G1), to his itinerary.

He will stay at Warren Place (Lady Cecil), and yet the jockey is still to be announced, reportedly perhaps from among foreign riders coming to Ascot. For the trainer, this is the second challenge to a British G1 since International Stakes with Zenno Rob Roy (2nd to Electrocutionist by a neck) in 2005.

I'm excited for this!

Rouge Buch, the winner of Kisaragi Sho (G3), goes straight to Ohka Sho (G1), the JPN 1000 Guineas in April while 'Cablegram' was the name for Giner Punch13, 2yo c, Deep Impact x Ginger Punch. His latest video on 6th Feb 2015 is seen at:

She has a pending Export on file.
Maybe they are sent a few mares back to the US with Peeping Fawn, mares they wanted to stay in the US and perhaps they are sending some other mares on to Ireland and were trying to save on shipping costs? Who really knows.

From what I've heard, they do most things for tax reasons.

2)Spielberg, 6yo h, Deep Impact xPrince Olivia (USA), will have his first race this season in Osaka Hai (G2; 2000m at Hanshin on 5th April) before being shipped to Britain for the Prince of Wales's Stakes and, after that, probably for the King George in July ("Spielberg is in the mix for the Prince of Wales's Stakes for Japan, which now looks likely to be represented in the King George in July with One And Only, who finished third in the Sheema." ―racingpost).

Kizuna, 5yo h, Deep Impact x Catequil(CAN), will be also entered in the race, along with other 5 G1 winners, such as Isla Bonita, 4yo h, Fuji Kiseki x Isla Cozzene (USA), Logotype (Lohengrin), and Lachesis, 5yo m, Deep Impact x Magic Storm (USA).

3) King Lio, 3yo c, King Kamehameha x Wickedly Perfect (USA), has returned to his stable after a two months' break; his second race will be in April (his debut was 12th on turf). Also in April, Amelie, 5yo m, Distorted Humor x Azeri (USA), will have her next race. She reportedly gained weight, now 489kg.

4) Lilac Rose, 3yo f, Henrythenavigator x Lilacs and Lace (USA), started riding exercises after having her broken cannon bone bolted. Her debut will be postponed possibly till this summer.

5) Real Steel (JPN), 3yo c, Deep Impact x Loves Only Me (USA), will be one of key contenders in Satsuki Sho (JPN 2000 Guineas).

Amelie, 5yo m, Distorted Humor x Azeri, was entered in a 1400m turf conditional race at Tokyo today.

Amelie, #4; black cap (jockey: Uchida)

Azeri's colt definitely takes after his sire.

Not a bad finish, really, given all the traffic she had to deal with...?

Not bad, certainly, but...I doubt her potential has kept her from winning conditional races through to graded stakes. Elaborating further than that would involve criticizing somebody. So I'll refrain from doing it.

How Azeri's colts may fail or succeed would be a next focus in the JPN racing media. You are holding your breath? I am.
