Admirable after racing
Five starts, a record-breaking Aoba Sho and third in the Japanese Derby: a fast son of Deep Impact whose Derby was, in effect, his last great day before his legs gave trouble. He came out of stud and became a foster horse only in October 2025, beginning his second life at Shadai Farm in Shiraoi.
