Embroidery is the best of two winners from stakes-winner Rottenmeier, a grand-daughter of Champion Japanese 2YO Filly Biwa Heidi, the dam of 2010 Japanese Horse of the Year Buena Vista.

Admire Mars has sired 19 winners in Japan from his first crop that are now three year-olds and Embroidery is one of two stakes-winners.

In Australia, his oldest progeny are two year-olds and he’s has had only a handful of starters.
