Based at the Yano Stable at Miho TC, this charming filly was of appeal mainly because her father is Neo Universe. Neo Universe won the Japanese versions of both the Derby and the 2000 Guineas, and his work as a sire has been another cause for celebration, with Victoire Pisa amongst his offspring. He's a walking advert for old blood, with Sunday Silence as his father and Kris as damsire, with the likes of Native Dancer, Royal Charger, Mahmoud and even Hyperion appearing in his fifth generation back.

Her dam is Bejoyfulandrejoyce (a name that must have caused a few commentators problems in her racing days!), who won four races, including a stakes race, in the States before becoming a broodmare. Her speed doubtless comes from Roberto (via Dynaformer), although having Ribot as her great-great-grandmother certainly doesn't hurt!
This Hail To Reason cross (4Sx4D) is the last of the 2011 kids, profiled just in time for another batch from this year to start filtering through! In reality, there probably won't be that many from the 2012 crop, as it's a tough job following what's at the foot of this page as it is. You can bet we'll be adding a few along the way, though, with a stake in my first grey already awaiting approval. I'm also interested in the Irish and Aussie scene, where ownership is more straightforward (Japan seems to have a fetish for creating mountains of needless paperwork), and where I can secure a steeplechaser much easier...
