Also nice to see Storm Cat still strong in his influence, although it's too bad that we lost Bernstein in 2011 when he was only 14.

Karakontie now has a strong stallion prospect, doesn't he?

Also he became fifth BC Mile winner for the Niarchos Family -- Miesque (Karakontie's 3rd dam), Spining World, Domedriver, Six Perfections and Karakontie.!!!

Karakontie will remain in training next year!! :D

In the meantime, Tale of Ekati(USA) was represented by his first winner in Japan, when his 2yo filly A Shin Carat(USA)[o/o Ellie's Moment(USA) by Kris S(USA)] won very impressively in her debut going 1400m turf Newcomer at Kyoto 5R November 8th 2014. --> one to follow!!! 8-)

A Shin Carat(USA) was Tale of Ekati's first starter in Japan. Her dam Ellie's Moment(USA) is a 1/2 sister to Brian's Time(USA).
By Storm Cat-line stallion and o/o Sunday Silence mare, Tale of Ekati(USA) has the similar cross as Karakontie(JPN).
