Phosphorus is another NAR runner sired by Gold Allure, but this one bought through the Shadai Thoroughbred Club, and with Mejiro Venus as the dam. As noted in the previous profile, Gold Allure had won the Japan Dirt Derby in the past, as well as a number of other G1 races, so his blood is highly valued in NAR circles.

Mejiro Venus was sired by Tony Bin, the Irish registered horse that won the L'Arc de Triomphe and the Italian GP del Jockey Club. The blood flowing through Tony Bin reads like a who's who of the English racing scene, with Hyperion, Gainsborough and Nasrullah crosses, while the female side seems to have a habit of breeding winners.
Mejiro Venus won two races herself, with her mother claiming no less than eight victories, with very strong blood on her sire side (with Hall of Fame horse, Northern Dancer being the main influence) and dam side, including Chateaugay (winner of the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes) and Swaps, who also won the Kentucky Derby. We shall soon see whether the winning combination has been struck with this horse...
