He very well could. Who knows? I find it peculiar that people seem keen on knocking a horse that has done everything asked of him and never got out of third gear. I'm sure if anyone else trained him you'd be joining the fan club. -

FFS the horse has only had one start and you already have the envy knocking glasses on. You never post anything of substance to support your criticism. Although you've been asked countless times and have never answered the question - what is your actual problem with Te Akau? -
You think he is going to win a G1 2yo race in Aus? I agree he can be considered a star if he does so. None of these overblown 2yo races they get away with winning in NZ that's gives them cult like status with the chief. -

Favoured at 90 cents on the dollar, Eri King (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}) ran to the money, winning the G3 Radio Nikkei Hai Kyoto Nisai Stakes at Kyoto on Saturday by 1 1/4 lengths over the closing Giovanni (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}). Claudiai (Jpn) (Saturnalia {Jpn}) was third, another length behind. Breaking widest of all in stall eight, the near-black colt soon found himself punching the breeze out by his lonesome in a tracking fifth as Water Clark (Jpn) (Water Build {Jpn}) showed the way into the right-handed bend. The pace was steady with a quarter-mile split of :24.70 and a half-mile in :49.40. Kept on cruise control by Yuga Kawada, Eri King began to make up ground through 1000 metres in 1:01.90. Water Clark's advantage shrank as noses pointed for home, and Kawada appeared to be sitting on go with Eri King. Given a shake of the reins, he went into overdrive in pursuit of the pacesetter and Sarakosth (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), who had stalked in second the hole way. In charge by the 100-metre mark, Eri King survived the rallying effort of Giovanni for the victory. The colt won a Kyoto newcomers' contest over 1800 metres of yielding ground in June with Sarakosth second, before making it two in a row at Chukyo over this trip on Sept. 21. In the latter start, he defeated Giovanni. Pedigree Notes Fresh off the news that Kizuna will stand for ¥20,000,000 at Shadai Stallion Station next year, Saturday's winner became his 36th overall stakes winner and 24th group winner. In 2024 alone, the son of Deep Impact (Jpn)'s progeny have bolted up in 21 stakes, with Justin Milano (Jpn) winning the G1 Satsuki Sho in the spring. Also on Saturday, Kizuna colt Natural Rise (Jpn) threw his hat in the ring on Japan's Road to the Kentucky Derby when he won the Cattleya Stakes (allowance). An A$1,400,000 Inglis Chairmans Sale purchase by Katsumi Yoshida in 2020 before beginning her broodmare career in Japan, G1 Queensland Oaks heroine Youngstar has a weanling filly by Contrail (Jpn) as her second foal, with Eri King her first. Youngstar is a half-sister to G1 Flight Stakes scorer Funstar (Aus) (Adelaide {Ire}), while her Galileo (Ire) half-sister Baggy Green (Aus) is the dam of four stakes winners including top-level winners Tofane (NZ) (Ocean Park {NZ}) and No Compromise (NZ) (Pins {Aus}). Third dam was the outstanding racemare User Friendly (GB) (Slip Anchor {GB}), a winner of the G1 St Leger, G1 Irish Oaks, G1 Oaks, G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and G1 Yorkshire Oaks. She was also second in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Making his first start since breaking his maiden impressively over 1700 meters (about a mile and a sixteenth) at Sapporo Racecourse in July, Natural Rise (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}) swept widest of all into the long Tokyo straight and held off a late bid from Clay King (Jpn) (Nadal) to take out Saturday's Cattleya Stakes (allowance), the first of four races that comprise the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby. Natural Rise picks up 10 Kentucky Derby points for the victory. Sent off the 13-5 second betting favorite behind fellow impressive debut winner Snappy Dresser (Union Rags) at 3-2, Natural Rise was off slowly from gate 12 and wanted to be closer in the run than his rider Takeshi Yokoyama wished, tugging fairly hard for rein while racing in the clear in the journey to the turn. Still hard held on the bend, the colt was given his head and made ominous headway six or seven deep at the top of the lane. Accelerating sharply to lead in hand entering the final 400 meters, Natural Rise opened a bit of a break and was home first in solid time to remain perfect in two tries. Clay King, the distant third choice in the field, raced worse than midfield and inside for most of the opening six furlongs and got home well once clear to beat T O Elvis (Volatile) for the place spot. Snappy Dresser was one of the last away and raced in heavy traffic in upper stretch, but finished powerfully to be fourth. Winner of the 2013 G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) and that year's champion 3-year-old colt, Kizuna raced exclusively on the turf, but is the sire of G2 Godolphin Mile winner Bathrat Leon (Jpn), Teleos Bell (Jpn), a two-time listed winner on dirt, and Alice Verite (Jpn), who was a respectable fourth behind Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) in the Nov. 2 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff. Kizuna's half-brother Sunday Break (Jpn) (Forty Niner) won the 2002 GII Peter Pan Stakes and was third in that year's GI Wood Memorial Stakes and GI Belmont Stakes for trainer Neil Drysdale. Natural Rise is the first winner from his dam, who was purchased in utero by Narvick International for $285,000 carrying the filly that would become Lady Madonna at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. His SW & GSP third dam Rebridled Dreams (Unbridled's Song) produced MGISW Carpe Diem (Giant's Causeway), MGSW/GISP Farrell (Malibu Moon), GISW J. B.'s Thunder (Harlan's Holiday) and European SW & MGSP Doncaster Rover (War Chant). Lady Madonna has a yearling filly by Henny Hughes and a weanling filly by Le Vent Se Leve (Jpn).
