Geraldina（ジェラルディーナ, foaled May 12, 2018）is a retired Japanese racehorse.[1]

She was voted the Best Older Filly or Mare of 2022 following her major wins; the Queen Elizabeth II Cup Sankei Sho All Comers that year.

Background

[edit]

Geraldina's dam, Gentildonna, was the winner of the Triple Tiara in 2012 who went on to win a total of 7 Grade I races. Geraldina's sire, Maurice, also won 6 Grade I races including the Yasuda Kinen, Mile Championship, and the Hong Kong Mile.

Geraldina was owned by Sunday Racing [ja], a company that offers stakes in horse ownership (Hitokuchi Banushi; Japanese: 一口馬主), that offered a share for 1.75 million yen each for a total of 70 million yen.[6]

Racing career

[edit]

2020: Two-year-old season

[edit]

Geraldina started her racing career at a debut race held at Chukyo Racecourse in September, where she finished at third place.[7][8] She finished second on her second race, and won her first race in her third race.[9][10]

She would later run her first graded race, the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies, that December, but finished seventh behind Sodashi.[11]

2021: Three-year-old season

[edit]

Geraldina started the season by contesting the Elfin Stakes [ja], where she finished 10th.[12] Following this race, her original trainer, Sei Ishizaka [ja], retired on February 28 due to age restrictions, and the horse was transferred to Takashi Saito [ja]'s stable.[13]

After switching trainers, Geraldina ran her first race with older horses at the Shirosaki Tokubetsu, held on June 27 at the Hanshin Racecourse. In that race, her right buckle came loose and finished at eighth place as a result.[14] Saito was fined 200,000JPY following this incident.[15]

Geraldina saw better success after this race, however. As she went on to win 3 races in a row.[16][17][18] She did not run the Shuka Sho, but rather opted to enter the Challenge Cup held in December, where she finished fourth behind So Vailiant [ja].[19]

2022: Four-year-old season

[edit]

Geraldina continued to compete in races but was never able to secure a win, with her running in the Kokura Kinen where she finished 3rd behind Maria Elena [ja] despite being the most favored to win.[20] However, in her next race, the Sankei Sho All Comers, she was able to run at a steady pace among the pack, placing herself in the inner side of the track, and overtook the rest of the pack, including favored Triple Tiara winner Daring Tact, and won her first graded race. This race also marked the first graded race victory for a Gentildonna foal.[21]

Following this victory, she entered the Queen Elizabeth II Cup with Cristian Demuro as her new jockey. She ran among the rear of the pack for most of the race, but quickly overtook the lead from the outside on the final stretch, securing her first Grade I victory.[22]

Geraldina was then entered in to the Arima Kinen to finish off the season. However, she started late and trailed the pack third from last. Despite this she pushed hard to regain the lead, and tried to overtake the lead on the final stretch, only to finish third behind Equinox and Boldog Hos [ja].[23][24]

2023: Five-year-old season

[edit]

Geraldina started the season with the Osaka Hai. She trailed Stars on Earth for most of the race, plaing herself in the rear of the pack, and tried to take the lead on the final stretch, but finished sixth behind Jack d'Or [ja].[25] Following this race, she was entered in to her first race abroad, the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin Racecourse, only to finish sixth there as well.[26] After returning to Japan, she contested the 64th Takarazuka Kinen, but finished fourth behind Equinox.[27]

After a Summer break, she was entered in to the All Comers to contest the race a second year in a row, but finished sixth.[28] She was later also entered in to the Queen Elizabeth II Cup but couldn't win that race for a second year in a row either, finishing at 5th.[29] On her last race, she returned to Hong Kong to run the Hong Kong Vase, but finished fourth behind Junko.[30] Following this race, she was retired from racing to become a broodmare at Northern Farm.[31][32]
