That was the long-awaited Classic race success for Fuji Kiseki.
As a racehorse, Fuji Kiseki himself had to retire from racing undefeated (4 wins for 4 starts) before the Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) due to tendon injury.
At stud, he has always been seen one of the most succesful and versatile successors of his sire Sunday Silence, if not the most, smashing the all-time record number of JRA wins for JPN-bred stallions.
He had sired eight individual G1 winners worldwide by the end of last year, including South African champion mare Sun Classique(AUS) . But his sons and daughters had just been unlucky in domestic Classic events.
It's almost miraculous that he has sired his first Classic winner in Japan this year, when his stud duty has been suspended since 2011.
Well done, Isla Bonita!!
Congratulations, Kiseki!!
Kiseki also means ''miracle'' in Japanese.
Of side note, Isla Bonita was ridden by Masayoshi Ebina today who had guided Fuji Kiseki to his debut win in 1994.

I wonder how many fans realized that this French import was a grandson of great Sunday Silence.

I would like to believe that Hana's Goal (JPN) made all Sunday Silence fans proud.
That was really a fabulous win.
And she definitely deserved it!!
This filly could have been the Oka Sho winner in 2012 if she had not been injured after her Tulip Sho win.
So it seems that she's finally returned to her true self here.
She made her sire Orewa Matteruze(JPN) the 25th son of Sunday Silnece to sire a G1 winner worldwide.
It was very sad that Orewa Metteruze, winner of the 2006 G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen, passed away last year at the age of 13.

All of top 13 finishers were grandsons of Sunday Silence and it looks like Stay Gold is always a strong influence for the stamina.

Karakontie has a beautiful pedigree -- the Storm Cat x Sunday Silence cross certainly seems to be a productive one. And of course I always have had a soft spot for the descendants of Miesque.
Prestige Vendome also ran very well in defeat. Orpen over Dr. Fong is an intriguing cross to me.

Divine Light(JPN), the sire of Cartier champion filly Natagora(FR), has died May 12 at stud in Turkey. 
http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-ra ... t7DaysNews
RIP Divine Light.
He was not seen a top-flight son of Sunday Silence while he was racing in Japan. He was not even a graded winner.
But his achievement at stud must be highly evaluated especially by Sunday Silence fans.

Divine Light as he was standing at Haras de Lonray, France, between 2004 and 2007.
In his first season in France in 2007, he only covered eight mares including Reinamixa(FR), dam of champion Natagora(FR)(2005M).

Verxina(JPN), 2009M. Deep Impact(JPN) x Halwa Sweet(JPN) by Machiavellian(USA), became the first horse to record back-to-back victories in the G1 Victoria Mile 4&up F&M 1600m turf at Tokyo on May 18th.
The mare had failed to hit the board since winning this event last year, but bounced back nicely to pull off an upset wire-to-wire off odds 27 to 1.

Heart's Cry(JPN) gets his first Classic winner, as Nuovo Record(JPN) 2011F. o/o Omega Spirit(JPN) by Spinning World(USA) captures the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) 2400m turf at Tokyo on My 25th beating hot favorite Harp Star.
It looks like a big year for Heart's Cry(JPN) who also sired the world's highest-rated Just a Way(JPN).
He has not been given the best group of mares but he may improve his mares!!
