THE RACEHORSES #13: No.190 
It's been a couple of weeks since I bought anything, and I was starting to get the shakes! Yes, you've guessed it, another horse - an NAR runner - has been added to the bottom of the page, this time a Sunday Thoroughbred Club filly by Admire Japan out of After Beat. 

Admire Japan has some very interesting bloodlines, with the Hail To Reason DNA I love so much passed down to Sunday Silence, while his dam is Biwa Heidi - a wonder mum if ever there was one! Her strength comes from Caerleon, one of Nijinsky's finest.

After Beat was sired by Creator, a strong horse that ran extensively in France, boasting Mill Reef as his father. The female line is dominated by Amber Shadai via Northern Taste, and going back further, there are Northern Dancer and Sir Gaylord crosses in the equation once we take both the dam and sire families into account as a whole. As well as winning a number of Stakes races, Sir Gaylord fathered Sir Ivor, and that makes him very special in my eyes. 

Well, that brings the NAR kids back up-to-date, at least for the time being! We'll take a look at the JRA yearlings I have a stake in in due course...
