Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 21 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 21 hours ago 11th-Hanshin, Coral S.-Listed, ¥45,970,000 ($308,735), 4yo/up, 1400m, 1:24.2, ft. ADVANCE PHAROAH (h, 5, American Pharoah–Fair Huntress, by Tiznow) became the sixth Japanese stakes winner for his sire with a 28-1 surprise. Ridden for speed from gate three, the $140,000 Keeneland September yearling graduate took them along under a nice hold and maintained a narrow advantage over the stalking T M Listed (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}) into the turn. Clinging to the lead with his year-younger rival breathing down his neck, Advance Pharoah led into the final 200 meters and refused to yield, prevailing by a half-length. The 49th Northern Hemisphere black-type winner for American Pharoah (58th worldwide stakes winner), Advance Pharoah is out of a half-sister to Grade III victress Devil By Design (Medaglia d'Oro), the dam of GI American Oaks winner Competitionofideas (Speightstown) and eight additional scorers. Fair Huntess is also responsible for the 3-year-old colt Mama Tried (Uncle Mo), a 2-year-old colt by Not This Time and a yearling colt by Constitution. The mare foaled a colt by Omaha Beach on Mar. 1. Advance Pharoah is the second new Japanese stakes winner this year for his sire, who was also represented by Listed Hyacinth Stakes hero Luxor Cafe. The latter is the full-brother to dual G1 February Stakes winner Cafe Pharoah. Sales history: $140,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 22-5-2-1, $509,930.
