Tosen Homareboshi after racing
Third in the Japanese Derby as a son of Deep Impact, then a sire in his own right: Mikki Swallow carried the baton on. Retired from stud, he lives at Horse Trust Hokkaido in as natural a setting as a horse can have. A quiet retirement for a horse who left a mark both on the track and in the stud book, and you can visit with advance notice.
