First Runner for Princess of Sylmar in Japan

Danon Luster (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), the first foal out of 2013 GI Kentucky Oaks winner Princess of Sylmar (Majestic Warrior), has been entered for his career debut in a 2000-meter turf race restricted to first-time starters Sunday at Tokyo Racecourse.

A February foal, the bay colt was bred by Shadai Farm, who purchased the Pennsylvania-bred Princess of Sylmar for a sales-topping $3.1 million at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. The Todd Pletcher-trainee was offered by Taylor Made on behalf of owner Ed Stanco’s King of Prussia Stable, who campaigned the chestnut to nine wins from 15 starts and earnings in excess of $2 million, including a 38-1 upset of multiple champion Beholder (Henny Hughes) in the Oaks. She also added victories in that year’s GI CCA Oaks, GI Alabama S. and the GI Beldame S., in which she defeated champion Royal Delta (Empire Maker).

Princess of Sylmar has had a standing date with Deep Impact since her arrival, producing a full-sister to Danon Luster in February 2017 before being bred back to the perennial leading sire. There is no listed produce for 2018.

Owned by Danox Ltd., Danon Luster is conditioned by leading trainer Noriyuki Hori and will be ridden by the visiting Joao Moreira.
