With L'Arc Hype lets hyped up Japan current most famous trainer interview

https://gendai.media/articles/-/166968

seen this article spread on X and it basically explain everything what Yoshito yahagi experienced himself, and basically confirmed these :

1.Australia not preferable for expedition due to stricter regulation

2.Famous Dubai,Saudi,HK and even U.S racing are invitational based

3.Lots of money needed to think for Europe Expedition, since they are self funded, but Yahagi also mention subvention possible.

Point 2 and 3 are main factors, when you are invited , you probably only spend money for travel, once you get there they will provide hospitality for free, the horse get from their grazing pastures and stables.

for L'Arc travel you need to prepare everything from registering which not guarantee an entry, also need to renting a stable and pasture in France which also expensive.

I also realized something Yahagi is 65 and born in march, and time is tickling, he won't even train Forever young's first crop ... (well he can but he won't see them race in classics as his trained racehorses). sad =(

Instead Of L'Arc chopping block, Now I am more curious which asshole Japan gonna send this December to try stop Romantic warrior from getting his 5th Hong Kong Cup Title ?

Its a Filly ..Congrats love only you, dmm and northern farm for healty foal being born (sire maurice).

For context Dmm originally making horse shares with a new concept :

1. being apps based investement
2. No monthly membership fees
3. share split into thousands even close to 10k but its all in, last until horse retirement you dont pay monthly to help feed or train the horse,and apparantely retirement funds also included if horse unsuccesfull. And in turn Making it possible putting most expensive horses out there which now average joe can buy shares from, but dont expect high return either even if the horse succesfull.

Now they testing the waters with campaign of seling early foal shares 1 yen each limited to 40 thousands people (will have priority and lottery based)

Part 1 here : https://www.reddit.com/r/HorseRacingJP/comments/1ta67ny/2026_yearling_preview_part_1_mostly_equinox/

Since it's their first crop I will have bias and signal boosting Equinox and Titleholder offspring, you can check link provided for full listing.

and if Equinox crop fail to win any G1, I would dislike katsumi yoshida's power play further than I already is LOL

Foal name = Dam/mother name + Year of birth

Sunday Racing/Sunday Thoroughbred Club Part 2

Finally Full yearlings offered by sunday are here

https://www.sundaytc.co.jp/list

They have a total of 10 Equinox foals offered ... but lets move on from him ...

Geraldina 2025 (sire : saturnalia) Filly valuation : 80 million (40 shares)

Dam's First foal, Now it's Geraldina turn to filled up the club rooster in Gentildonna place.

Loves Only Me 2025 (Sire : Schnell Meister) Filly Valuation 60 million yen (40 shares)

From a dam who foaled Real steel and loves only you!, without deep impact unfortunately none of her offsping make it out into graded race winner or even breaking 3 Win class , they tried everyone from Duramente,heart's cry, satono diamond,Epiphaneia and now schnell meister.

Simply Ravishing 2025 (Sire : Kitasan Black )Filly Valuation : 100 million (40 shares) yen

Her Full brother named Dynamic , purchased by Fujita for 264 million yen ,should debut this year

First Foal, the dam is North American 2 year old filly champion(Sire :Into mischief), this a rare full import pedigree (brought to japan while pregnant). With gun runner stud fee now worth around 250k USD and of course the BMS, into mischief is one of the hottest sire in NA.

Shadai Race Horse/Shadai Thoroughbred Club Part 2

https://www.shadaitc.co.jp/list

Magic castle 2025 (Sire : titleholder) Filly Valuation 40 million yen (40 shares)

the dam won Aichi hai G3.

Finally titleholder,offsprings. I put this here for one reason only, without shadai import mares,I wonder whether he will make it into top stud ....

Peeking the listing , The club seems put a lot of filly lots of import filly,even some first foal from the dam purchased while pregnant with import sire, I have little doubt about their career seeing their low price tag, such as a filly sired by FRANKEL valued at 50 million which wont even cover the stud fee .. (Frankel stud fee is like around 80 million yen, most expensive active stud stallion on earth). and just like their dam they will just filled up the ranked for breeding in due time.

Ps : I am sure if those horse born a colt I would say they listed in select sale.

G1 Racing /G1 Thoroughbred Club

unfortunately considering their low rate of success from their racing horses, G1 only have few hyped up horses.

what can I bring up to excite people probably most of these horses are come from oiwake farm, and which horse become yearling teacher there ? yes mamechin sensei 8D

----------------------------------------------

Video screenshot from : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfyTVpy1Iuc&t=5s

its Uberleben, Meine theresia with their offspring a family photos in a way LOL

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

https://www.union-oc.co.jp

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.

https://x.com/aoi_kuma_dayo/status/2052942688434192498

her race performance is kinda expected considering, she weight only around 420kg, the long delayed debut also mainly because her slow growth.

And the drama inside the gate, she not strong enough to do rodeo like daddy https://x.com/IKO_DX/status/2052947103836700775
