    • An exciting new chapter is being written at Coolmore Stud with the news that the powerful operation has been granted an ownership licence by the JRA [Japanese Racing Association], meaning it will be represented in that jurisdiction for the first time by two exceptionally-bred runners by Frankel. Four-time leading JRA trainer Mitsu Nakauchida has been entrusted with a Frankel colt out of dual Group 1-winning sprinter Marsha (Acclamation). Meanwhile, a Frankel filly out of Shadow Hunter (Arcano) has already been named Snowscape and is registered in training with Nakauchida. TDN Europe understands the Frankel colt, who is the last foal out of 6,000,000 gns purchase Marsha, will race in Sue Margnier's old yellow silks that were recently carried to victory by the Donnacha O'Brien-trained Kilmeaden.  Those colours were once carried by Foxhunters Chase hero Attitude Adjuster at the Cheltenham Festival in 1986 while Kilmeaden won over hurdles for a partnership that included Max and Tom Wachman, Charles Shanahan, Magnier and Tabor. It is understood that a partnership is still being finalised for Snowscape in Japan.  More to follow The post Coolmore Embarks On Exciting New Ownership Venture In Japan appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Arrowfield Stud has announced that Lead Artist (GB), a Group 1-winning son of Champion Sire Dubawi (Ire), will join their roster. The G1 Lockinge Stakes winner will shuttle from Juddmonte to the Hunter Valley later this year for the 2026 breeding season. “Arrowfield's success with shuttling stallions along with a proven track record for producing Champion Sires such as Danehill, Redoute's Choice and Snitzel will provide Lead Artist with the perfect platform to start his Southern Hemisphere career,” said Juddmonte's Chief Executive Douglas Erskine Crum. “We're absolutely thrilled that Juddmonte has agreed to send him down to us. He's got an amazing pedigree. He was a really high class racehorse,” said Arrowfield's Jon Freyer. “He's by the right sire in Dubawi, who has Too Darn Hot taking all before him, and Ghaiyyath looks a very promising young stallion,” Freyer added. “He's a beautifully made horse, medium-sized, and has got a lovely length of rein, good girth, and just oozes quality. He has a great walk to him. He's a really stylish colt who is a lovely blend of Dubawi and Frankel.” Lead Artist is the first foal of G2 Chantilly Prix de Sandringham winner and G1 Deauville Prix Rothschild-placed Obligate (GB) (Frankel {GB}) who descends from blue hen mare Hasili (Ire) (Kahyasi {Ire}). He arries the blood of Arrowfield's wonderful Champion Sire Danehill, through Frankel. And with that, he gets a big thumbs up from the man who found Danehill for Australia. “Lead Artist reminds me of Danehill, also bred and raced by Juddmonte. His third dam is the greatest mare of the modern era, both his sire and broodmare sire are prepotent and, significantly, he is from a stallion-producing family,” said Arrowfield Stud's John Messara.
