In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for this Saturday running at Nakayama Racecourse:

Saturday, September 21, 2024
9th-NKY, ¥30,400,000 ($213k), Allowance, 2yo, 1200mT
ECORO SIEG (c, 2, Twirling Candy–Lily Pod, by Bernstein), whose Grade III-placed dam is also responsible for SP She's Got a Way (Tonalist), cost $95,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale and was knocked down to Hideyuki Mori on behalf of 'Ecoro' owner Mastatoshi Haramura for $250,000 at this year's OBS March Sale. The dark bay colt was all the rage at 2-5 for his 1200-meter debut at Niigata Aug. 17 and made light work of his rivals en route to a front-running, five-length success (see below, SC 4). Bred on a variant of the very successful cross of Candy Ride (Arg) over Storm Cat-line dams, Ecoro Sieg once again gets the services of Christophe Lemaire on Saturday. Ecoro Sieg's yearling half-sister by Connect sold for $9,000 at KEESEP on Wednesday. B-Caldara Farm Inc & William R Hilliard Jr (KY)
