JRHA Select Catalogue Index Online

Just A Way has his first foals at this year's JRHA foal sale | Racing Post

The catalogue index for the Japan Racing Horse Association's Select Sale of foals and yearlings July 11 and 12 in Hokkaido is online. The sale comprises 248 yearlings and 243 foals. The foal sale includes 20 first-crop offerings by Japanese champion Just A Way (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}), the world's highest-rated horse in 2014 thanks to his 6 1/4-length romp in the G1 Dubai Duty Free.

The JRHA foal sale will also offer buyers the first opportunity to snap up a foal by Juddmonte's Cartier Horse of the Year Kingman (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), the winner of four Group 1s over a mile at three. The foal in question is Lot 413, a colt who is the fourth foal out of the French Group 3 winner Mambia (GB) (Aldebaran), who hails from the family of successful American sire Stormy Atlantic (Storm Cat) and was bought by Katsumi Yoshida for 160,000gns at Tattersalls December last year carrying the Kingman colt.

Incidentally, Kingman's sire, Invincible Spirit (Ire), also has a representative at the JRHA foal sale, a colt catalogued as lot 472. He is out of Bryce Canyon (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a daughter of G1 Prix de Diane winner Bright Sky (Ire) (Wolfhound), a 265,000gns purchase by M&M Corp at Tattersalls December last year.

The JRHA yearling sale will feature the much-anticipated first crops of two Japanese Horses of the Year: Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}) and Triple Crown winner Orfevre (Jpn) (Stay Gold {Jpn}). Also represented by his first yearlings is G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. winner Novellist (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}).
