Justify’s Three-Time Japanese Stakes Winner Awesome Result Retired

Wait 5 sec.

Awesome Result (Justify–Blossomed, by Deputy Minister), who opened her career with eight straight victories and was an intended runner in the 2024 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff, has been retired from racing and will be bred next year at Northern Farm, according to a tweet from the Insel Thoroughbred Co. Ltd. ownership club.Bred in Kentucky by Orpendale/Chelston/Wynatt and trained by Yasutoshi Ikee, Awesome Result made the first five starts of her career at Japan Racing Association (JRA) venues, taking her lone appearance at two over the metric nine furlongs before adding victories in a trio of appearances in allowance company at three.On the back of a victorious 4-year-old debut in February 2024, Awesome Result was tried in some of the valuable listed races on the National Association of Racing (NAR) circuit and strung together a pair of black-type successes, capped by a five-length tally in the Breeders' Gold Cup at Mombetsu last August (see below, SC 11). .That 1800-meter contest had been used previously by Marche Lorraine (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}) as a springboard to her ground-breaking victory in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff, and Awesome Result was shipped stateside to contest the same event last fall, where she would have been the chief adversary to future Horse of the Year and 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna). She was a late scratch with an apparent fetlock issue.Kept in training at five, Awesome Result took the Listed Queen Sho on her return to action in February and was placed in three subsequent appearances at stakes level. She retires with a record of 11-8-1-2 and earnings of $1,323,545.“We express our deepest gratitude to everyone who was involved with this horse and everyone who supported here,” Insel Co. tweeted.Awesome Result is a half-sister to GI Spinaway Stakes heroine Sippican Harbor (Orb); UAE listed winner Saayedd (Malibu Moon); GSP Bodacious Babe (Mineshaft), the dam of GSW Royal Spa (Violence); and she is a full-sister to Crudo, this year's Sir Barton Stakes winner who was sold to Saudi Arabian interests for $350,000 during this week's Keeneland Horses of Racing Age Sale. WATCH: Awesome Result romps in the 2024 Breeders' Gold Cup at Mombetsu The post Justify’s Three-Time Japanese Stakes Winner Awesome Result Retired appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
