kitasan black (racehorse)

Kanmei "Kitasan" + "Black" from his sire name.

Japanese racehorse. Sired by Black Tide (a full brother to Deep Impact) and foaled by Sugar Heart (from Sakura Bakushin O).

He is a bay horse with a star and stripe marking as well as a pastern on his left back leg. He is known for being unusually big, weighing around 530-540 kg at his prime, being one of the heaviest racehorses of his caliber.

This front-running prodigy with a pedigree that just implies that he won at the genetic lottery is Black Tide's most successful progeny by leagues thanks to his 7 G1 victories.

He is the sire of Equinox (All-around genius with 6 consecutive G1 victories), Sol Oriens (His first winner of a classic race), Wilson Tesoro (His first winner of a dirt G1) and Croix du Nord (His first winner of a G1 race for 2-year-olds and his first winner of the Japanese Derby).

He is also the sire of Gaia Force (All-terrain meme horse), Skilfing (Aoba-sho winner who is more known for dying at the Japanese Derby) and Piko Chan Black (Winner of the 2025 Spring Stakes, a race Kitasan Black and Black Tide previously won.) among others.
