The Grandson of Tokai Teio Scores His First Victory
On the 10th, Bellagio no Yume, a granddaughter of Tokai Teio, finally recorded her first career victory in her 19th start at Kasamatsu Racecourse, where Oguri Cap also made his debut.
She has a particularly fascinating pedigree. Her grandsire is Tokai Teio, while her great-grandsires include legendary racehorses such as Symboli Rudolf, Mr. C.B., and Special Week.
Her sire, Quite Fine, won six races in Japan’s regional racing circuit. As one of the few remaining stallions capable of carrying on the bloodline of Tokai Teio, a crowdfunding campaign was launched in 2019 to support his retirement to stud, and he began his stud career in 2020. However, following Quite Fine’s death in September 2025, there are now only three active horses in Japan, including Bellagio no Yume, that carry Tokai Teio’s bloodline through their sire line.
Please support her from overseas!
