I have no idea. That said, she was bought by Shadai Farm, and it's obvious that she will be bred to one of Shadai stallions.

Strawberry Coulis? :grin: Cute.
~We have enough youth. How about a fountain of smart??~
Agreed. Clever! Indeed, she looks like a strawberry.
As for Good Game '08, the name is: 'Impact Game'.
Aaaa...uuuah.....what's the game? :tongue:
Discovering Beauty (USA, 1998), Theatrical x Stick to Beauty (Illustrious), was imported in 2006. The mare, half-sister to Gold Beauty (the best sprinter in '82), was bought at Keeneland Nov '06 for $550K by K Yoshida, the representative of Northern Farm.
Her breeding record:
'03: Silenct Beauty (USA), f, by Gone West
'04: Resonance (USA), g, by Raphy
'05: Wicked Beauty (USA), f, by Vindication
'06: Mr President (USA), c, by Vindication
------------------- (imported to Japan)------------
'07: Cruz del Sur (= the Southern Cross), c, by Vidication
'08: Azul a la Tierra (= Azure like the Earth), c, by Deep Impact
'09: still to be named, c, by Deep Impact
'10: in foal to Neo Universe (?)
First of all, see the beautiful association in her sons' name!: Discovering beauty, (you look up) the Southern Cross, blue like the Earth. The mare would be glad at the grand scale of the sequence of the names... to come.
Cruz del Sur was raised at Northern Farm, and the Sunday Thoroughbred Club, a racing club in a close affiliation with the firm, sold his 40 shares, (approx.) $8K apiece, to general fans. His photo below in their catalogue at that time:

And now he looks like:

Cruz del Sur in June '09
He had a successful operation for whistling in July '09, and has just arrived at the JRA Miho Training Centre in preparation for his debut. Under the management of trainer M Koga (44), he began climbing up the uphill course (woodchip) at the facility (see the times below):
25 Feb: 67.5-50.4-33.9-16.6
24 Feb (second) : 66.2-49.2-32.8-16.1
24 Feb (first): 67.4-50.2-33.5-16.8
23 Feb (second): 64.9-47.4-31.3-15.4
23 Feb (first): 67.1-50.1-33.2-16.7
Azul a la Tierra, just like Cruz del Sur, put in the list of the same racing club:
[img width=447 height=322]http://www2.sundaytc.co.jp/photo/83145.jpg[/img]
His 40 shares, (approx) $13K apiece, were attractive for general fans and have had the 6th highest applications in the yearlings listed. Drawing losing numbers, many of them gave up investing in him. He's booked to go inot the Sumii Stable that managed top JPN horses like Vodka, Kane Hekili, Hat Trick, Delta Blues, Pop Rock and Cesario.

An update on Gold Day '08:
[img width=720 height=565]http://www.win-rc.co.jp/images/lucia/lucia_l.JPG[/img]
(early April)
name: Win Lucia. 'Not so big a filly, but she has a wide stride and excellent flexibility. The only problem is that she is temperamental, and how to deal with it would be a key.'(caretaker)
K Sumii (her trainer): 'She's been growing up just as I had imagined. Making a debut in autumn would be appropriate for her.'
I just LOVE the Gold Day filly, Win Lucia. I'm very much looking forward to her debut down the road.
Update on Blooming Alley (Princess Olivia '07 by Symboli Kris S)
Since Erica Sho last Dec, she has been entered three races this year: Nanohana Sho on 23 Jan (Nakayama Racecourse), Queen Cup (G3) at Tokyoracecouse on 20 Feb, and Flora Stakes (G2) at Tokyo on 25 April.
●Nanohana Sho (1600m at Nakayama)
She (#2 horse, the favourite) lost by a nose. Here is the <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lckW0...play</A>.
●Queen Cup (G3, 1600m, 3yo fillies) at Tokyoracecourse
She was 5th (3rd favourite). See the <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJnJ3...play</A> (#5 horse; jockey: Mirco Demuro).
●Flora Stakes (G2, 2000m, 3yo fillies) at Tokyo (JPN Oaks trial)
<A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHNDT...">This video clip</A> was taken by a BA's fan at Tokyoracecourse and its paddock (#14) on the race day, and <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNkYU...this</A> is the race (use the HD mode). She finished third (2nd favourite; jockey: M Matsuoka), and secured the right to be entered in Yushun Hinba (JPN Oaks, G1), 2400m at Tokyo, on 23 May.
It is reported that Mr Shimakawa, a major racehorse owner in JPN, privately purchased Princess Olivia '08 (c by Deep Impact) from Shadai Farm, a reason for little information of the horse, except that various sources say his name will be Tosen Ra (Tosen=owner's surname pronounced differently; Ra=the sun god in the Egyptian mythology)

She reminds me of Sunday Silence, which is a reason for my attention to her photos (I couldn't guarantee she will live up to her fan's expectation :tongue

"To my surprise, this filly seems to inherit not her sire's characteristic, but grandsire's; in her dark coat colour, shooting star, and flowing silhouette with flexible muscle, or whatever part you look at, she is just like SS.'' (Diana's breeder)
Thank you for sharing these photos and information with us. It's so good to have a chance to see and catch up with some of these horses.

●Update on Discovering Beauty's offspring:
Azul a la Tierra's <A href="http://www.sudatakao.com/netprint/sl...hoto</A> this April.
Unfortunately, Cruz del Sur (3yo, c, Vindication) broke a bone in a workout just before his debut this March. But now in June it was reported he began cantering again.
●Update on Good Game '08:
This <A href="http://www.sudatakao.com/netprint/sl...hoto</A> of Impact Game was taken this April. She has been well-spoken of.
Thanks so much for all the photos and updates. These are great. :smiley:
Thanks! This time my focus is on horses from European dams.
●Update on Donna Blini 2008
Her name was fixed: Donau Blue. Her training at Northern Farm seems to be progressing smoothly, and her debut will be in autumn. The training menu in May: cantering circuit (2400m) and uphill (800m) courses, normally at a 17sec/f pace mixed with 14-15sec/f twice a week. She tended to be a bit nervous, but has gradually become composed. Her trainer is Mr Sei Ishizaka who trained Vermilion and Blumenblatt.
Also, early in June, her full sister was put on view for prospective investors who are ready to buy some shares of yearlings bred and raised in the Shadai group. Meet Donna Blini 2009, f:

People have high hopes for both of them.
Thanks again for the pics and updates Uma!
Wow, poor Donna Blini. Looks like someone put her front legs on with a pretzel maker.

#2: Donau Blue
Also I found a video clip of Ingrid, 1/2 sister to Wonder Lady Ann L, standing for taking photos after her first win:
#10: Ingrid's debut
Tokio Reality (USA), m 16yo, Meadowlake x What a Reality, was bred at F Carl Schwietert & Four Horseman's Ranch, and was imported to Japan in 1996. She raced here in Japan and won 3 races before producing 5 fillies and 5 colts as a broodmare at Northern Farm.
Among her sons, I'll Love Again by El Condor Pasa is most well-known (http://www.pedigreequery.com/ill+love+again), but two fillies by Fuji Kiseki (Admire Fukky, 7yo, retired with 3-1-0-8) and King Kamehameha (Will Power, 3yo, in training, 2-0-2-0 out of 4 starts) are equally good.
Her hefty 2yo son by Deep Impact, Real Impact, looks promising as well, making a winning debut at Tokyo, 1400m turf, on 24 Oct.
#13, Real Impact
Interestingly, Real Impact's full brother, i.e., Tokio Reality 2009, was born on 7th August!
Gaviola (USA), 13yo m by Cozzene out of Forest Key (Green Forest), was imported in 2006, and produced 2 sons and 2 daughters in Japan:
1) Ghostzapper (2007): grey, f, dead just after birth
2) Deep Impact (2008): grey, f,
3) Agnes Tachyon (2009): chestnut, c,
4) Deep Impact (2010): bay, c.
The no.2 grey filly is not found in a JRA data base, suggesting she may not race. The no.3 colt was seen below in the yearling list of a Shadai affiliated racing club:
https://carrotclub.net/horse/bosyuba.asp?id=1048
the total offering price: 50m yen; 125K yen a share, already full.
(source: Carrot Club: https://carrotclub.net/)
Donau Blue, 2yo f, out of Donna Blini, won her 2nd race, Shiragiku Sho (1600m turf for 2yo fillies), at Kyoto on 28th Nov. The strong way she won suggests that she will be counted among key contenders for classic races for fillies next year, as the jockey told after the race.
Donau Blue (#6; her final 3F: 33.4sec); 2nd (#10) is Katies Gem, out of Katies First (US)
Uma, any sightings of Ginger Punch's filly?
No, I didn't.
As you may know, Ginger Punch produced a bay filly by Bernadini on 30 March. This spring she was first bred to Deep Impact on 5th May, but failed to catch. Then she went to Zenno Rob Roy, and the foal will arrive on 24th April. Also, Azeri, Magical Fantasy, and Raragh were all successfully bred to Zenno Rob Roy. So top mares imported last year from the US were monopolized by the sire!
Loves Only Me was (successfully) bred to Deep Impact.
