Shimokobe Farm

I saw a filly I like was bought by them at Fasig Tipton. I’m assuming she won’t race and will just be bred. Is there a way to find out?
TIA

Yukio Shimokobe, a graduate of the Kentucky Equine Management Internship, attended the sale with his father, Toshiyuki Shimokobe, and younger brother, Takayuki Shimokobe. While Yukio is the general manager of Shimokobe Farm, Takayuki conditions the horses in their training program. The 80-year-old operation has about 140 horses overall. Their family was among the first to purchase horses from Keeneland for export to Japan.

Yeah, Hip 264 in FT November was purchased by Shimokobe Bokujo (Farm) for $725k.
Shimokobe Farm is a prominent breeder in Hidaka District, Hokkaido, Japan, with a historical background.
I believe that the 4yo filly will become a broodmare immediately.
Independent of Shadai group, Shimokobe has been breeding many graded winners successfully.
G1 winning 6yo Kiseki(JPN)(by Rulership), who set the pace in the historic Japan Cup yesterday, is a Shimokobe-bred horse for example.

Shimokobe Farm has its own website as well as a twitter account (they tweet very actively!)
Hopefully they will post updates on your beloved filly, too, in the future.

Thank you.
She is a lovely broodmare prospect, I wish them the best.
