Regaleira (Japanese: レガレイラ, foaled April 12, 2021) is an active Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse.[1][2] She won the 2023 Hopeful Stakes.

She was named after Quinta da Regaleira, a palace located at Sintra, Portugal.[3]

Racing career

[edit]

2023: two-year-old season

[edit]

Regaleira debuted at the Hakodate Racecourse on July 9 in a two-year-old newcomer race on turf at a distance of 1,800 meters. Started at 1.4 odds favorite, her jockey, Christophe Lemaire, sat her in the middle of the pack, and on the final straight, she overtook the frontrunner to win the race.[4][5]

Following that, she competed in the Listed Ivy Stakes on October 21. Once again, she was the most favored horse. She ran in third position and made a determined effort to close the gap in the final stretch but fell short, finishing in third place behind Danon Ayers Rock.[6]

On December 28, she competed in her first graded stakes race and first Grade 1 race, the Hopeful Stakes at Nakayama Racecourse. After trailing in the rear during the early stages, she unleashed an exceptional finishing burst on the outside in the final stretch, overtaking Shin Emperor to claim victory. This marked the first time a filly won the Hopeful Stakes since it became an open race for both colts and fillies in 2000.[note 1] Additionally, this was the first victory by a filly in a mixed 2-year-old Grade 1 race since Tenmon won the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes in 1980. This was also the first Grade 1 victory for a Suave Richard progeny.[7][8]

2024: three-year-old season

[edit]

In her first start as a three-year-old, Regaleira would go straight to Satsuki Shō. If she wins, it will be the first time in 76 years that a filly has won the Satsuki Sho since Hidehikari in 1948, making her the third filly in history to achieve this.[9] Additionally, Shunsuke Yoshida, the representative of Sunday Racing, has revealed plans to challenge the Tōkyō Yūshun (Japanese Derby).[10] Yoshida stated, 'Although the Satsuki Sho will be her next race, the jockey has not yet been decided. Since she was registered for the Classics, including both the Satsuki Sho and the Derby, right from the initial registration, we are hopeful for strong performances over longer distances. Given that she is challenging colts in the Satsuki Sho, the Derby is also an option.[10]

While a victory by a filly was highly anticipated for the first time in six years, she finished sixth in the Satsuki Sho. Following the race, she was shuttled to Northern Farm Tenei for rest.[11] Regarding her next race, the Sunday Thoroughbred Club mentioned on their website that they would "consider the options based on how she feels after the rest."[11] However, on April 28, the club announced that she would still compete in the Derby, held at Tokyo Racecourse on May 26.[12][13] This marks the first time a filly will race in both the Satsuki Sho and the Derby since the introduction of the grading system in 1984.[14] The club also announced on May 8 that Regaleira would return to Miho Training Center on May 10,[15] which she did as scheduled.[16] Notably, Christophe Lemaire, her regular jockey, was unable to return to Japan for the Satsuki Sho due to a fall in a race in Dubai that resulted in a punctured lung (traumatic pneumothorax), so Hiroshi Kitamura stepped in as a substitute. However, Lemaire will reunite with her for the Derby.[16][17]

On May 10, the Sunday Thoroughbred Club announced that Regaleira had been entered for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, scheduled at Longchamp Racecourse on October 6.[17] According to the explanation, "Given her performance so far and the advantageous weight of 55 kilograms for three-year-old fillies, depending on her performance in the Derby against colts, we are considering aiming for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe."[17]
