Description
Morioka showed well above average ability from the moment she first set foot on the racetrack and was very unlucky not to have ended her career with a black-type win under her belt.
.
Her career highlights included:
.
2-year-old
.
Third in the Listed BRC Bill Carter Stakes (1200m) at Doomben, a track which usually favours on speed horses. Taken back to last in the early stages, Morioka made her move at the 700m mark circling the field to be 4 and 5 wide entering the straight. In what was the run of the race, she battled on gamely to run third (beaten 0.4 lengths) to dual Listed Race winner Rhapsody Rose.
.
Second at Canterbury (1200m) (beaten 1.3 lengths) to GCTC Magic Millions Guineas placed Socialist, with nearly 5 lengths back to the third placegetter.
.
Third (first start) at Randwick (1150m) as an early January 2yo, to Four Moves Ahead, a filly who was to win the Group 2 ATC Sweet Embrace Stakes and run fourth in the Group 1 ATC Golden Slipper at her next two starts.
.
Third at Canterbury (1200m) (beaten less than 1 length) to the ill-fated Xtremetime, a filly who was to go on and win the Listed ATC Woodlands Stakes at her next start.
.
3-year-old
.
First at Mornington (1200m) by 3.8 lengths. Led on settling. Increased the lead to 2 lengths on the turn and ran away from them in the straight for an easy win.
.
First at Canterbury (1250m) by 0.2 lengths (gave 1kg to the runner-up). Led all the way.
.
Third at Caulfield (1400m), to the smart Vianello. 4.5 lengths back at the turn, and ran on soundly to be beaten 1.9 lengths at the finish.
.
Third at Randwick (1300m) first up as a 3-year-old, beaten 1 length.
.
Sixth (beaten 3.2 lengths) in the Group 2 MRC Caulfield Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield (1400m)
.
Morioka is from the first crop of Australia’s Champion Second Crop Sire for the 2021/22 season in Maurice, a stallion who covered his best and largest book of mares in the 2022 season – 165 mares at an advertised fee of $82,500.
.
Morioka comes from a great black type family which has produced the likes of Embasadora (dual Sydney Group 2 winner), Real Surreal ($1,733,750, GCTC Magic Millions 2YO Classic), Hong Kong Group 1 winner Jeune King Prawn (HKJC Champion’s Mile), and NZ Horse of the Year Courier Bay (Group 1 wins incl. WRC Telegraph Hcp-twice & Waikato RC Lion Brown Sprint-twice).
.
Morioka is the third foal of the very smart Melbourne Group 3 winning sprinter Koonoomoo. Her foals to date include:
.
2017 filly All That Sass (by Hinchinbrook), a $170,000 yearling. Placed twice in Sydney. Now at stud, she is due to So You Think (LSD - 7th September 2022).
.
2019 filly Wild Calm (by American Pharoah), a $350,000 yearling, and fourth in last season’s ATC Gimcrack Stakes (Group 3). In training with Annabel Neasham.
.
2020 filly Pleshette (by Justify), $200,000 yearling purchase by renowned judge James Bester. Unraced. In training with Annabel Neasham.
.
2022 filly by Maurice (Foaled – 26th August).
.
2023 Due to So You Think (LSD – 19th September 2022).
.
So, there is plenty of potential for Morioka’s page to be enhanced even further in the future.
.
Morioka is a quality strong sprinting type (a $190,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast January yearling) who has been measured to stand at 15.3hh. She has a lovely kind nature and is excellent to manage.
.
Morioka is currently at Glenesk Thoroughbreds, Mount Vincent, in the lower Hunter Valley. Please contact Brett Howard for further information or to arrange an inspection - 0403 037 773.
