19 for Kitasan Black

Basse Terre (3 c ex Mambia by Aldebaran) became the 19th individual stakes winner for Shadai Stallion Station’s Kitasan Black (Black Tide) when landing Sunday’s Yayoi Sho (Gr 2, 2000m) at Nakayama. Ridden by Yuga Kawada for trainer Takashi Saito, the three-year-old colt defeated Reichsadler (Siskin) by three-quarters of a length, with a further neck back to Admire Quads (Real Steel) in third. Out of the French Group 3-winning mare Mambia (Aldebaran), Basse Terre is a brother to winner Mikki Harmony and a half-brother to multiple other winners. Kitasan Black is standing the 2026 northern hemisphere breeding season at a fee of ¥25,000,000 (approx. AU$225,260).
