Agreed. Somehow I was unaware of his existence until now. He certainly is eye catching.

Painted Patchen was third in R4 today at Parx.

[Treve]

Not a race horse but he's registered with the Jockey Club - R F F El Dorado, one of the few registered Cremello thoroughbred stallions has been sold by Blazing Colours Farms to owners in Dubai.

Double-posting with the Retirement thread because she was discussed here.

Yup given her antics it was clear she was done racing... now we get to look forward to her foals!

[Northport]

I was wondering yesterday actually what would be happening to her. She has harmed herself and others in her most recent starts, so I can't say it's surprising.

[Starine]

Wonder who Buchiko will go to. I'm sure Tachyon will keep us posted.

If she were to go to Gold Ship , I would not want to be the one who has to teach the resulting colt or filly good manners.

lmfao I was just wondering why so many of the Japanese horses were so nutty. The Halo is strong in these ones, perhaps ?

I... can't even picture that breeding shed moment. Toooo much crazy.

Painting the Sky just finished 3rd in the 8th at Delta. If the wildly-colored filly had just changed leads, she might have made it into 2nd.

If I'm reading the translation correctly, it looks like White Dragon (bred by Patchen Wilkes Farm, sent to Japan in 2015) won at Kyoto on Feb 5...

White Dragon(USA) 3C (Cowboy Cal) was second in his second try on Feb 5th after his 3rd place finish on debut Dec 23rd. Both starts were on the yielding turf. 2-M-1-1.

I would think that he will break his maiden soon.

Thank you for the correct information, tachyon

I see the winner is by Rulership... do you know if his first racing crop are three-year-olds? Did he get winners at two?

Here below is the 2016 First-season-sires ranking in JRA.
Rulership was the best of the 23 stallions whose crop made their debuts last year.

http://www.jbis.jp/ranking/result/?rid= ... &x=56&y=22

1st. Rulership(JPN) (King Kamehameha)
2nd. I'll Have Another(USA) (Flower Alley)
3rd. Deep Brillante(JPN) (Deep Impact)
4th. Summer Bird(USA) (Birdstone)

I just happened to catch that race- beautiful horse.

IIRC, that would be Summer Bird's last crop.
His untimely death was a real loss for racing.

Shironii, full brother to Buchiko, won today by abt half a length. Kokura race 10, I think at a mile? The chart is here: http://japanracing.jp/en/racing/result/
