2019 Hokkaido September Sale Preview

03 September, 2019

A new addition to the Japanese sale calendar, the September Sale on September 17th and 18th has 528 lots cataloged with about 260 horses offered each of the two days of the sale.

G1 Japanese Derby winner Kizuna(JPN) has been a break out star this year both as a sire of a successful first crop on the track and a popular sire at the sales. He has seven lots in the sale.

With the passing of both Deep Impact(JPN) and King Kamehameha(JPN), the focus moves to their progeny at stud. Aside from Kizuna(JPN), Deep Impact(JPN) is also represented by fellow second crop and two-time G1 winner Real Impact(JPN) with seven lots in the sale. Two time G1 winner and first-crop sire A Shin Hikari(JPN) has four lots in the sale. Second crop sire World Ace(JPN) who was a record-setter over a mile has eight lots in the sale. G1 winning miler and also a first crop sire Mikki Isle(JPN) has six lots in the sale. First crop sire and G1 winner Danon Shark(JPN) has five lots in the sale. G1 winner Tosen Ra(JPN) has four lots in the sale, and G2 winner Tosen Homareboshi(JPN) has three lots. G1 Derby winner Deep Brillante(JPN) has five lots in the sale. G1 Tenno Sho winner Spielberg(JPN) has four lots in the sale. Vincennes(JPN) brings six lots of his second crop to the sale.

King Kamehameha(JPN) had already been on the rise as a sire of sires while he was still going himself with high-performance sires like Lord Kanaloa(JPN) and Rulership(JPN), each have one and three lots in the sale respectively. G1 Japanese Derby hero Duramente(JPN) is only offing his first crop, but he has already proved popular with buyers in sales early this year, and he has three lots in the sale. King Kamehameha(JPN) has a very versatile record as a stallion, and that couldn't have been on display more with his son Belshazzar(JPN) who won a G1 on dirt but was also third in the G1 Japanese Derby on turf. On his third crop, he has 15 lots in the sale. Hokko Tarumae(JPN) was likely his sire's most successful son over the dirt, claiming ten G1 races while racing between the JRA and NAR. He has 11 yearlings from his first crop in the sale. Two champion two-year-olds Leontes(JPN) and Rose Kingdom(JPN) have three and two lots in the sale. Lovely Day(JPN) proved to be an excellent runner over a wide range of distances during his career, ultimately claiming two G1 titles for himself. He has 13 lots in the sale. Two full brothers by King Kamehameha(JPN), To the Glory(JPN) and To the World(JPN) are both out of the talented race mare To the Victory(JPN). To the Glory(JPN) won three G2s and ran third in the G1 Arima Kinen twice. To the World(JPN) only won one G2 but placed in three different G1 races. They have seven and nine lots respectively in the sale.

First season sires Discreet Cat(USA), and Asia Express(JPN) will have 15 and 16 lots in the sale. Grey imports Creator(USA) and Dunkirk(USA) have four and nine lots in the sale. Makfi(GB)'s first crop continues to impress buyers and is represented by seven lots. Harbinger(GB) has been one of the most successful imported stallions in recent years, and he has three lots in the sale.

Daiwa Major(JPN) has been a popular sire throughout his career and has two lots in the sale. Two of his sons also have progeny in the sale, G1 winning miler Curren Black Hill(JPN) with seven lots and G1 winning sprinter Copano Richard(JPN) with eight lots.

Six-time G1 winner Maurice(JPN)'s first crop has been received well in earlier sales this year and he has nine lots in the sale. The popular Black Tide(JPN) and full brother to Deep Impact(JPN) has four lots in the sale. Two time G1 winner Epiphaneia(JPN) with four lots and Six-time G1 winner Gold Ship(JPN) with five lots are both off the mark as their first crops duke it out on the track.
