SATONO STERN (JPN) (Distorted Humor) is the first Japanese-bred produced by dual Grade I winner Diamondrella (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), who was purchased by Katsumi Yoshida for $1.5 million carrying this foal in utero at the 2013 Keeneland November sale. A half-sister to French MGSP Spectroscope (Medaglia d'Oro), the February foal was subsequently offered at the JRHA Sale a few months later and was knocked down to owner Hajime Satomi for ¥43.2 million (about US$394k). Satono Stern's second dam, the SW Tap Your Feet (Dixieland Band), is also responsible for Diamondrella's SW & MGISP half-sister Bonnie Blue Flag (Mineshaft). @EquinealTDN
