Not This Time Colt Rossiniani Back In Action at Nakayama

[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 this weekend running at Hanshin and Nakayama Racecourses:

Saturday, April 19, 2025
2nd-HSN, ¥10,600,000 ($74k), Maiden, 3yo, 1200m
AALLOTTARET (f, 3, Practical Joke–Folklore, by Tiznow), the latest offspring of 2005 champion juvenile filly Folklore to make the races, cost her connections $260,000 at the 2023 Keeneland September yearling sale and has seen her pedigree take flight over the last handful of seasons. This filly's half-sister Rhodochrosite (Unbridled's Song) is the dam of 2020 Japanese Triple Crown winner Contrail (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and assured that another half-sister, Cherokee Maiden (Distorted Humor), would prove a hot commodity when she was offered at Keeneland November that fall. Hammered down to Narvick International for $1.85 million, she has since produced Mistress (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn})–Group 3-placed at two in 2024–for her first foal. Folklore is a half-sister to eight winners, including SW & GSP Divided Attention (A.P. Indy) and GSP Delightful Quality (Elusive Quality), dam of two-time Eclipse Award winner and four-time Grade I-winning 'TDN Rising Star' Essential Quality (Tapit); and SW Famed (Uncle Mo).

Sunday, April 20, 2025
6th-NKY, ¥15,200,000 ($107k), Allowance, 3yo, 1800m
ROSSINIANA (c, 3, Not This Time–Dos Vinos, by Twirling Candy) was a promising second on Kyoto debut back in December and put it all together with a four-length success over this course and distance when last seen Jan. 26 (see below, SC 14). An $850,000 OBS March breezer, the dark bay is out of a winning half-sister to SW China Grove (City Zip), herself the dam of Grade III placegetter Beach Walkn (Cross Traffic). Christophe Lemaire has the return call. The race will be carried across ADW platforms, with post time set for 11:55 p.m. Eastern time late Saturday evening. O-Kazumi Yoshida; B-Tom Durant (KY); T-Tetsuya Kimura
