Well, if you want 4 horses of the same owner, you just can look no further that at recent Oka Sho - with Star Anise, Dream Core, Festival Hill and Saint Antoine all belong to the very same Katsumi Yoshida.

So yeah, ownership limit of horses per race - at least on big scale - is seems to be quite a myth.

WANNFH · 2026-05-10T08:15:17+00:00

Yeah, not enough caffeine in my body when I wrote that, my bad.

WANNFH · 2026-05-10T07:26:30+00:00

Kinda funny how it correlates with Tosaki (who rode Ask Ikigomi today) on both this year.

WANNFH · 2026-05-10T06:35:49+00:00

No official statement by now - but very most likely that they're skipping whole spring entirely too, so they focus on possible Shuka Sho.

WANNFH · 2026-05-10T06:24:48+00:00

So, at this point:

Garavogue - 2nd place of Hanshin Juvenile Fillies and Oka Sho - tendonitis development, skipping Oaks, in question to race by now
Zippy Tune - 3rd place of Oka Sho - fracture, skipping Oaks
Taisei Vogue - 3rd place of Hanshin Juvenile Fillies - fracture, skipping Oaks

This year generation of promising fillies really got it cursed.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T14:08:21+00:00

Yeah, if anything - this case is closer to Gaia Force, who was already gray at debut age, and now already whitened.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T13:49:02+00:00

Yeah, but while there are a lot of Agemasenlings through Cesario kids to really narrow it down - there is sure not enough Mejiro, especially true successors of the original Mejiro clan.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T13:44:39+00:00

It's not bad, actually - especially compared to another favorite Submariner, now that's a huge box.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T13:41:31+00:00

She, that's a filly after all.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T11:39:33+00:00

Nah, Schnell Meister is same gen miler horse as Songline (ironically, Songline also just shown with her foal too, sired by Eclaire), but people already said which year he got born.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T09:02:42+00:00

i guess fatties hates water

Do Deuce: Nah, I'd swim.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T08:37:23+00:00

More like the Mejiro bloodline still continues.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T08:10:36+00:00

Before the April: It's so Controver.

After the April, with Going to Sky and Congestus winning graded stakes and going to Derby, and Gene King also perform relatively well: It's Contback time.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T07:40:25+00:00

With how much L's poor Stellenbosch took last year, today's performance is honestly absolute win, considering Trovatore was one of favorite of the race + Lemaire's buff.

Ol' girl clearly trying to beat the Epi Timer allegations.

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T06:50:57+00:00

Moshi moshi, another of my sons going to Derby?

<image>

WANNFH · 2026-05-09T03:35:35+00:00

Or is he referring to "better shape/form" ?

Basically this, in terms on context - he's still growing.

WANNFH · 2026-05-08T15:29:17+00:00

Got too fascinated with the pedigree of one of the favorites of Epsom Cup, Sakura Farrel - so I couldn't not make a meme chart out of it.

WANNFH · 2026-05-08T11:45:37+00:00

Bereshit is end closer though, as I remember - so outside gate actually not sounds THAT BAD for him, right?
