Gentildonna, a dark\u2011bay mare foaled on March\u202f24\u202f2010 in Japan, was bred by Shadai Farm and sired by the legendary Deep\u202fImpact out of the Irish\u2011bred mare Donna\u202fBlini. With a career spanning 19 starts, Gentildonna won 12 races, including the Japanese Fillies\u2019 Triple Crown in 2012 and the 2014 Dubai\u202fSheema\u202fClassic.<\/p>\n
Under trainer Kazuo Fujisawa and ridden primarily by Yasunari Iwata, Gentildonna captured the Oka\u202fSho, Yushun\u202fHimba, and Shuka\u202fSho in 2012. She added a second victory in the 2013 Japan\u202fCup, and proved internationally dominant with a record\u2011breaking triumph in the 2014 Dubai\u202fSheema\u202fClassic, becoming the first Japanese\u2011trained horse to win a Grade\u202f1 race on Dubai turf.<\/p>\n
Gentildonna retired with a career record of 19 starts for 12 wins, 2 seconds and 2 thirds, earning over \u00a51.5\u202fbillion and receiving multiple JRA Awards including Horse of the Year (2012, 2013) and Best Three\u2011Year\u2011Old Filly (2012). According to the Japan Racing Association<\/em>, Gentildonna is considered one of the greatest mares in Japanese racing history.<\/p>\n After her 2014 retirement, Gentildonna was sent to Shadai\u202fStud as a broodmare, producing foals such as Arianna (2016, by Deep\u202fImpact) and Sappho (2017, by Deep\u202fImpact). As noted by BloodHorse<\/em>, Gentildonna\u2019s influence on Japanese breeding is expected to continue for generations to come.<\/p>\n Gentildonna\u2019s remarkable career serves as a testament to the power of Japanese racing and breeding. With her impressive record and numerous awards, Gentildonna has cemented her place in the history of horse racing. As we look to the future, it will be exciting to see the impact of her legacy on the sport.<\/p>\n Introduction to Gentildonna Gentildonna, a dark\u2011bay mare foaled on March\u202f24\u202f2010 in Japan, was […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2163,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Legacy as a Broodmare<\/h3>\n
