Black Bago after racing
A classic prospect as a youngster who went on to win a graded race on the turf at Iwate, with a career that lasted. He retired to a riding club in Chiba, within easy reach of fans in the Kanto area. A horse who knows both the JRA's big stage and the front line of regional racing, now taking it easy.
