US-Bred Fillies Feature In Weekend Turf Stakes at Kyoto

[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 four sophomore fillies of interest for this weekend running at Tokyo and Kyoto Racecourses, with American-breds nicely represented at stakes level:

Saturday, February 8, 2025
3rd-KYO, ¥11,850,000 ($78k), Newcomers, 3yo, 1400m
RENENET (f, 3, American Pharoah–Family Meeting, by Sky Mesa), a $325,000 Keeneland September acquisition by Dr. Masatake Iida, is set to become the second foal to the races for her dam, winner of the 2015 GIII Jimmy Durante Stakes for owner and breeeder Glen Hill Farm. Family Meeting, a half-sister to SP Consulting (Maclean's Music), is out of a full-sister to dual Grade III winner Closeout (Repriced) and to Grade III winner Capital Request, dam of eight winners from eight starters, including the stakes winners Bio Pro (War Fromt) and Cozzi Capital (Cozzene). O-Masataka Iida; B-Glen Hill Farm (KY); T-Katsunori Tanaka

7th-TOK, ¥15,200,000 ($100k), Allowance, 3yo, 1400m
CHIANINA (f, 3, Take Charge Indy–Carpe Solis, by Carpe Diem) validated 3-5 favoritism in graduating narrowly at first asking in her lone racetrack appearance at Kyoto last November. Knocked down for $30,000 at the 2023 Keeneland September Sale, the dark bay was purchased by Katsumi Yoshida for $310,000 at last year's OBS March Sale. The Feb. 9 foal is a maternal granddaughter of 2005 GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Summerly (Summer Squall), whose Brazilian Group 3-placed daughter Allez Marie (Unbridled's Song) is the dam of recent Busanda Stakes winner Running Away (Gun Runner). O-Kazumi Yoshida; B-WinStar Farm LLC (KY); T-Keisuke Miyata

10th-KYO, Elfin S.-Listed, ¥38,000,000 ($250k), 3yo, f, 1600mT
WILD 'N' WOOLLY (f, 3, Bernardini–Merino, by More Than Ready) is one of 16 worldwide winners to date from the final crop of her successful sire, having broken her maiden in a single appearance at two as the 9-5 favorite over this course and distance last Nov. 23. The homebred, a half-sister to SP Phileas Fogg (Astern {Aus}), is out of an unraced daughter of Cableknit (Unbridled's Song), a $1.7-million KEESEP yearling purchase by John Ferguson in 2008 who would go on to produce G1 Al Maktoum Challenge – R3 winner Capezzano (Bernardini). The filly's third dam is Sovereign Award winner Silken Cat (Storm Cat), herself the dam of the late champion Speightstown (Gone West) and MGSW/MGISP Irap (Tiznow). O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Ryuji Okubo

Sunday, February 9, 2025
11th-KYO, Kisaragi Sho-G3, ¥77.3m ($511k), 3yo, 1800mT
ERIKA ENDIVE (f, 3, Oscar Performance–Going Day, by Daylami {Ire}) cost connections $235,000 as a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling in 2023, and she began to chip away at that investment when prevailing by a half-length on her course-and-distance unveiling Dec. 8 (see below, SC 10). Nicoma Bloodstock first signed the ticket on dam Going Day for $525,000 on behalf of George Strawbridge at KEESEP in 2004 and again when acquiring the stakes-placed mare for $85,000 in foal to Lonhro (Aus) at Keeneland November in 2014. Erika Endive's granddam Antics (Unbridled) is responsible for dual Eclipse Award winner Covfefe (Into Mischief)–herself the dam of SW Ellen Jay (Constitution)–as well as Japanese MGSW/MG1SP Albiano (Harlan's Holiday), whose daughter Avverare (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}) is a Group 3 winner in Japan. The SW & GSP third dam Aurora (Danzig) produced Grade I winners Acoma and Arch, et. al. O-Masahiro Miki; B-P Headley & Nancy Bell & NATO (KY); T-Tatsuya Yoshioka
