On 23 August 1997, the funeral for the racehorse Maruzensky was held at Hashimoto Bokujo where he was born. The grandeur of the memorial service like no other horses would easily have reflected on how dearly he was loved and respected.

Phalaenopsis’s dam was a mare Koji Maeda, the head of North Hills, bought almost on the spot as a broodmare after looking at her pedigree. North Hills is the operation behind horses like Kizuna and Contrail.

The mare’s older sister had already produced Biwa Hayahide and Narita Brian, so you can see why the pedigree alone was enough for Maeda to make up his mind.

Phalaenopsis herself was a different story. Apparently she was small and didn’t look particularly impressive when she was born, and her hindquarters were especially weak.

Her trainer was Mitsumasa Hamada, who had also trained Biwa Hayahide. The groom and training assistant assigned to Phalaenopsis was a young Hisashi Shimizu, who had only just come out of school.

She made her debut over 1,200m on dirt and won by nine lengths. She kept progressing from there and went into the Oka Sho as one of the leading contenders.

Around that time, Hamada told the media something along the lines of, “She’d been a wonderful horse from the day she was born.”

Maeda got angry with him.

“Don’t make things up! If you knew she was that good from the beginning, why did you put a rookie in charge of her?”

You can see why that didn’t add up to Maeda. And that rookie, Shimizu, later became the trainer of Kitasan Black.

Maeda is the kind of person who’ll say it straight away when something doesn’t make sense to him. He can get angry, then a few minutes later act as if nothing happened. He’s very much a “say what you have to say” kind of person.

He wasn’t satisfied with the way things were being done by breeders in Hidaka, the heart of Japan’s breeding industry, so he went and started his own farm. That’s the sort of person he is. He acts.

He took plenty of criticism behind his back along the way, including being ridiculed by Shigeyuki Okada, one of the most influential figures in Hidaka. Then Phalaenopsis finally gave him his Oka Sho, his first G1 and Classic.

I said Phalaenopsis wasn’t rated all that highly when she was born, but there’s an interesting detail to that story.

“Phalaenopsis” was actually a special name Maeda had been saving for a long time.

Maybe some part of him had a feeling about her after all.

When she won the Oka Sho, even Maeda had red eyes and was fighting back tears.
