In the Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes, he was 1st favorite.
He won by a head.
It was his first grade-race win.
Rose Kingdom’s connections had originally planned to run in the Radio Nikkei Hai Nisai Stakes as his next race, but when his stablemate Ridill, who was scheduled to run in the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes, was unable to run due to a broken bone, Rose Kingdom was forced to run in Ridill’s place.
In the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes, he was 1st favorite.
He took the lead in the home stretch and won by 1+1/2 lengths.
It was his first G1 win.
It was also the first GI victory of Rose Family in their 34th G1 races.
He won the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Colt (2009).
He ran all three classic races.
He was 4th in the Satsuki Sho, 2nd in the Tokyo Yushun and 2nd in the Kikuka Sho.
In the Japan Cup (2010), he was 4th favorite.
He was sandwiched between Buena Vista and Victoire Pisa in the home stretch.
Then Buena Vista forced Rose Kingdom’s path.
Rose Kingdom’s stance was broken.
It wouldn’t have been surprising if he had given up on the race, but from there he spurted again.
He finished in 2nd place.
The first-place finisher, Buena Vista, has been demoted, so Rose Kingdom became first.

After Retirement

He was a stallion, but he didn’t have very good offspring.
He hit his head and became a little paralyzed, so he was retired by stallion in 2018.
On September 15, 2019, an incident occurred in which Rose Kingdom’s and Taiki Shuttle’s manes were cut off without permission.
On September 16, Biwa Hayahide’s mane was cut off, and on September 18, Winning Ticket’s mane was cut off.
A woman and her husband were arrested for the alleged perpetrators, but they were later not prosecuted.
The affected farm will file a petition for review.

Several farms have canceled horse tours in the wake of this incident.
It’s so sad that this happened because of a vicious fan.
