A JRA horse who dominated interleague dirt racing, winning the 2012 JBC Classic, the 2014 Teio Sho and the 2015 Kashiwa Kinen, and holding his level until the age of nine.
Wonder Acute after racing
He lit up interleague dirt racing for years and was still winning at the top level at nine: an iron horse who took his time. In retirement he is one of the faces of Versailles Resort Farm, right at the top of its website. For all the hardness of his racing life, the expression he wears in the paddock is entirely relaxed.
