She had a broken bone and retired from racing before her debut.

[TapitsGal]

Acapulco’s filly by Galileo has been given the rather bland name Chiffon.

Does coolmore own her? And does that mean they don't expect her to accomplish much? It seems that they give the more "dignified" names(George Washington, St Nicholas Abbey, Magical, Magic Wand, Magician, Found, Camelot, So You Think, etc) to horses who end up going on and accomplishing greatness on the track

I'd say it's not a great sign for what they think of her, but it's not a bad name. They bought So You Think during his racing career, so he doesn't have a Coolmore name.

Coolmore almost always gives their fillies simple names, versus the historical ones for their colts. Makes it a bit harder to see which ones have the most promise.

Tapestry, Snow, Was, Up, Twirl, Winter, Minding, Magical, Found, Imagine, Yesterday, Peaceful, Love, Moonstone, Bracelet, Athena, Goddess, Hydrangea, Rhododendron, Together, etc.

Okay, I thought her name was clever.

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."
