A bay colt by Diatonic from 2200-metre winner Bonloe. The mating places Japanese sprint-mile speed over the depth and stamina of Vadamos, with Mufhasa, The Bostonian, Kovalica and Sacred Satono close on the page.
Diatonic was a ten-time winner and multiple Group 2 and Group 3 sprint-miler by Lord Kanaloa. His speed, toughness and longevity provide an exciting counterpoint to the stronger-distance influences on the dam side.
Bonloe won over 2200m and is a half-sister to Group 3 winner and dual Group 1-placed Sacred Satono. She is the first foal opportunity from a mare whose immediate family has performed from sharp sprint trips through to Derby distances.
