Cafe Pharoah Full-Brother Set For Sapporo Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for Saturday at Sapporo Racecourse:

Saturday, August 24, 2024
5th-SAP, ¥13,720,000 ($94k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1700m
LUXOR CAFE (c, 2, American Pharoah–Mary's Follies, by More Than Ready) is the full-brother to Cafe Pharoah, back-to-back winner of the G1 February Stakes and third in the 2023 G1 Saudi Cup while earning Japanese champion dirt honors. A half-brother to Eclipse Award-winning turf female and 'TDN Rising Star' Regal Glory (Animal Kingdom), this Feb. 26 foal looks to become the seventh winner for his dam, a two-time graded winner on the turf who sold to the BBA Ireland for $500,000 out of the Paul Pompa Dispersal at the 2021 Keeneland January Sale. Like Cafe Pharoah, Luxor Cafe is campaigned by owner Koichi Nishikawa. B-Orpendale/Chelston/Wynatt & Westerberg Ireland ULC (KY)
