Red Galant's racing career
29 starts, 7 wins with the JRA and ¥212,069,000 in earnings, plus one start without a win in regional racing at Ohi, for a career record of 30 starts and 7 wins. Won the Nakayama Kinpai (G3, 2,000m turf at Nakayama) on 5 January 2022 as fourth favourite under Arata Saito, beating Scarface, and took the Niigata Daishoten (G3) on 8 May that year as seventh favourite for a second graded win. Won the 2020 Osakajo Stakes (open) and was third in the 2021 Rakuyo Stakes, Port Island Stakes and Rigel Stakes (all listed). In 2022 he finished 14th in the Tenno Sho (Autumn), 11th in the Champions Cup and 12th in the Tokyo Daishoten (G1) at Ohi.
Red Galant after racing
A son of Lord Kanaloa out of Dance on the Roof, he spent his four-, five- and six-year-old seasons collecting third places in listed miles at Hanshin and Chukyo — dependable rather than spectacular. Then, at seven in 2022, everything came together: he won the Nakayama Kinpai over the New Year as fourth favourite and the Niigata Daishoten in May as seventh favourite, taking two graded titles in a single season. That autumn he kept aiming high, from the Tenno Sho (Autumn) to the Champions Cup on dirt and the Tokyo Daishoten at Ohi, before bowing out in the American Jockey Club Cup in January 2023. He now lives as a pensioned horse at a riding club on the Kanmuri plateau in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima Prefecture.
