With Keita Tosaki in the saddle, the daughter of former Arrowfield shuttler Real Steel (JPN) finished strongly to defeat the California Chrome colt King Velvet by three-quarters of a length with the Novellist colt Yamanin Ad Hoc a neck back in third.

Tropical Tea is the third winner from as many runners for Kirramosa (Alamosa), who was trained by John Sargent before being sold privately to Japan.

She defeated Zanbagh and Solicit in the VRC Oaks when ridden by Nash Rawiller.

Tropical Tea was a ¥33,000,000 ($349,000) purchase for Kazutaka Hosaka at the 2021 Select Foal Sale.

Kirramosa has a yearling colt by Kizuna and a colt foal by Contrail.
