The 2025 Hokkaido Training Sale has catalogued 103 juveniles, making it the second smallest edition in the past decade. As was the case last year, both the breeze-up and the sale will take place on the same day. Ahead of the sale on May 20th, rehearsal breeze-ups were held in early April at BTC Urakawa and Hidaka Ikusei Kosha.
At BTC Urakawa, a filly by Firenze Fire (USA) recorded the fastest furlong time of 10.8 seconds. Lot 66, she is out of the Daiwa Major (JPN) mare Regina Un (JPN), whose three-year-old daughter by Shanghai Bobby (USA) is already a winner in the NAR.
Lot 33, a filly by Saturnalia (JPN), was the only other horse to clock under 11.0 seconds on the day, recording a furlong time of 10.9. She is the first foal out of Freak Out (JPN), a winner at the JRA.
At Hidaka Ikusei Kosha, two juveniles from the same vendor, N & star LLC, shared the fastest furlong time of 10.9 seconds. They were Lot 45, a colt by Four Wheel Drive (USA), and Lot 83, a filly by Tower of London (JPN).
A leading first season sire contender Contrail (JPN) is offering one horse in the sale. Lot 7, a colt out of multiple black-type winner Teorema (JPN). Contrail is currently standing for ¥18,000,000 (US$124,138) at Shadai Stallion Station and has 130 two-year-olds registered in Japan.
The sale will take place at Sapporo Racecourse on Tuesday, May 20th at 1:30 pm, following the breeze-up session, which begins at 9:00 am.
