HOKKAIDO –
Shonan Galleon, a 210 million yen colt by Flightline, made a putting debut at Hakodate Racecourse on Sunday, July 5, successful the fifth race over 1,800 meters on turf in file time for a 2-year-old on the course.
The Make Debut Hakodate, a newcomers’ race for 2-year-olds, was run with 5 starters. Shonan Galleon, the 1.3 favourite below jockey Katsuma Sameshima, lived as much as expectations with a decisive first victory.
Second favourite Danon Cube, ridden by Yutaka Take, took the early lead. Shonan Galleon moved into second across the fourth flip earlier than accelerating sharply within the stretch and pulling away from the sector. His successful time was 1 minute, 47.6 seconds, a 2-year-old course file.
Danon Cube completed second, 2 1/2 lengths behind the winner, whereas Super Yutaka got here in third, one other 4 lengths again.
Shonan Galleon is by Flightline out of Tangritona. He is skilled by Shizuya Kato at Miho, was bred by Northern Farm in Abira, Hokkaido, and was bought for 210 million yen on the 2024 Select Sale.
Flightline was unbeaten in six profession begins, successful 4 Grade 1 races, together with the Breeders’ Cup Classic, and has drawn sturdy consideration as a stallion.
