Mark Smith - Monday July 10

The Japan Horse Racing Association Select Sale is off and running at Northern Horse Park in Tomakomai City, with 240 yearlings catalogued for Monday and 200 foals on Tuesday.

The first lot through the ring, a colt by the Champion First Crop Sire Kizuna (Deep Impact), is the first foal of the Group 1 BRC Oaks heroine Youngstar (High Chaparral), a half-sister to Group 1 Flight Stakes winner Funstar (Adelaide) and the blue hen Baggy Green (Galileo).

Fujita Susumu had the final say at 210milion yen (A$2,208,000) for the Northern Farm consigned bay colt.
