SFF only has 4 named foals, 3 of racing age (one being a 2yr old of 2013).Ioya Two wrote:Azeri is one of those incredible race mares who are actually passing down their talent to their offspring. So few are great racers then are great producers too. Like Personal Ensign was both, but I don't think her granddaughter Storm Flag Flying has produced anything that could run a lick. Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

When Saratoga Dew arrived in Japan, she was in foal to Storm Cat(USA).
Her first foal born in 1996 was a filly and named Lady Blossom(JPN).
Lady Blossom, smart sprint winner on either surface, retired to K.I. Farm with a record of 24-5-3-3 in JRA.

While Saratoga Dew has not produced any graded winner yet, Lady Blossom produced one of the best sprinters in Japan, if not the best, of all-time.
Lord Kanaloa(JPN), Lady Blossom's sixth foal colt by King Kamehameha(JPN), has won the G1 Sprinters Stakes back-to-back for five successive G1 win today. Many fans now believe that he is one of the world's best sprinters in training.

Thanks Saratoga Dew for coming all the way to Japan!!
I am looking forward to seeing her 2012 Harbinger colt's debut next year. But she is already a great broodmare for the Japanese racing.

On the bright side, Airdrie did buy her daughter Indian Spell (whom they sold as a yearling) out of the Nov sale.flytpthestars wrote:mariasmon wrote:Proud Spell has been sold to Katsumi Yoshida and her Creative Cause foal will be her first Japanese-bred offspring.
NO!!!!! I loved visiting her at Airdrie
Because he is nicer than our horses, and turf racing, let alone international turf racing, doesn't appeal to many here.tachyon wrote:-- from racingpost:

Japan is very happy about Lord Kanaloa's success.
And it looks lile Europeans and Australians welcome his success, too.
But, no Americans can appreciate his success.
Does anyone here know why?
