Tosen Stardom sister Centelleo lands Sankei Sho All Comers.
Centelleo (5 m ex Admire Kirameki by End Sweep) - who is a sister to dual Australian Group 1 winner and now Woodside Park Stud-based sire Tosen Stardom - broke through at stakes level for the first time in the Sankei Sho All Comers (Gr 2, 2200m) at Nakayama and in the process handed late breed-shaping sire Deep Impact (Sunday Silence) with his 160th stakes winner.
The five-year-old mare was having her 16th career start and she finally added valuable black-type to her record when coming out on top of a nail-biting finish to beat Curren Bouquetd'or - who is also by Deep Impact - by a nose. While Stay Foolish (Stay Gold) finished another length and a quarter further back in third.
Bred by Northern Racing, the mare is one of five winners out of four-time winner Admire Kirameki (End Sweep), whose best progeny is the aforementioned Tosen Stardom, who landed the Toorak Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m) and Emirates Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) in 2017.
Admire Kirameki herself is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Tosen Jordan (Jungle Pocket) and Grade 2 winner Tosen Homareboshi (Deep Impact).
The mare's third dam is Crafty Wife (Crafty Prospector), who produced Listed-winning trio Big Shori (Northern Taste), Battle Banyan (Jungle Pocket) and Spicule (Sunday Silence), while she is the grandam of dual Grade 1 winner Company (Miracle Admire), Grade 3 scorer Historical (Deep Impact) and Listed-winning pair New Very (Fuji Kiseki) and Leningrad (Tony Bin).
Tosen Stardom is covering this third book of mares at Woodside Park Stud at a fee of $12,100 (inc GST). Deep Impact, who stood at the Shadai Stallion Station for his whole breeding career, died last year.
