chateau blanche (racehorse)

シャトーブランシュ

French: "White Castle" if the castle was somehow female. Follows her family's name theming.

Sire:King Halo
Grandsire:Dancing Brave
Dam:Blancherie
Damsire:Tony Bin

Japanese racehorse. A bay mare with a wide blaze marking and socks on both back legs. Originally mildly famous for winning the 2015 Mermaid Stakes (G3), she became more famous as a broodmare as the mother of six-times G1 winner Equinox.

While her other children have names that continues the "white" theme naming of her family, Equinox' full siblings follow a theme naming based on the first syllable of his name (Equinox, Exceed, Equatore...)

Children:

  • Miss Bianca (with Lord Kanaloa)
  • Weiss Meteor (with King Kamehameha)
  • Equinox (with Kitasan Black)
  • Garza Blanca (with Kizuna) Italian: "White Egret"
  • Exceed (with Kitasan Black) As in "to surpass". Her name is a vow to surpass her famous elder brother.
  • Equatore (with Kitasan Black) Italian: "Equator"
