Description
OKITA SOUSHI is an exciting stallion prospect. He is a Group performed son of Champion Sire GALILEO and out of Group One MRC Thousand Guineas winner AMICUS (Fastnet Rock). With only 14 starts under his belt, six-year-old entire OKITA SOUSHI still has plenty of racing upside.
A winner on debut at three over 1½m, OKITA SOUSHI was runner-up in the Listed Orby Stakes (1½m) at the Curragh first-up at four.
At five, OKITA SOUSHI won three of his five European starts last season, including a dominant win in the Royal Ascot Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (1½m). He then placed third in the Group Three Irish St Leger Trial (1¾m), before transferring to Australia where he raced in both the Group One MRC Caulfield Cup (2400m) and the Group One VRC Melbourne Cup (3200m).
Whilst all efforts are made to disclose any previous issues, we recommend that all purchasers undertake independent veterinary inspections.
