2026 Yearling Preview Part 1 (mostly Equinox progeny)
Oaks and Derby is coming soon.... but lets check 2028 contender instead 8D.
Some clubs already announced recruitment ... without membership early access on big clubs, I can only tell from keiba or japan news sites but we got the idea of the Expectation ....
all the hype mostly come from First crop of Equinox Progeny... (and as usual full brother/sister of already proven progeny pairing)
Equinox retire early to siring them, hope some of them made it out to be super horses... (Equinox have 141 registered foals on his first crop)
Foal name = Dam/mother + year of birth
1.Blooming Racing /Blooming Horse Club
https://bloominghorseclub.co.jp
*Blooming racing is new, will start racing this year when their 2 years old ready.
Caledonia Road 2025 (Sire : Equinox) COLT valuation : 240 million yen (2000 shares)
The Dam is 2 years old champion American 2017 (5x5 Halo Lineage) , 3 offspring already race all fillies, none of them make it out yet, as successful horse, could Equinox be the one finally siring one.
Purchased as a FOAL at 2025 selects sale for 220 million yen, he scheduled to be trained by Yahagi Stable
Recent half brother to debut is Danon cantabile 2 years old (sire : Contrail) should start racing when ready.
Commentary : A Foal sold for very expensive price is risky .... for a yearling, expert can tell from the posture and the muscles of their potential of growth,hence they can go for hundreds million yen. but a foal ? born in febuary have a growth advantange
2.Union Owners Club/Hidaka Breeders Union
Nanyo Ivory 2025 (Sire Equinox ) COLT Valuation 78 million yen (500 shares)
The dam Nanyo Ivory (Sire : Lord Kanaola) first foal. Dam have mixed career but more successful in dirt.
commentary : I am originally excited only to disappoint ... when finding out this horse is purchased from 2025 foal select sale(for 66 million yen) and it's northern farm breed one ....
Here the reason.. let's start with this club origins, the club founded by 25 breeders in Hidaka .. with each breeder put on their horses in club so members can invest on them... Now this club ended buying horses outside just for equinox hype ? Do they don't have good mares to breed with him ? if this a filly I can absolutely understand ... the breeder need to add promising broomares in the rank once it retires.
