almond eye (racehorse)
Japanese racehorse. Sired by Lord Kanaloa and foaled by Fusaichi Pandora.
Almond Eye is Japan's most successful racehorse, having won 9 G1 races, breaking the 7 G1 win record held by several other racehorses, including Kitasan Black, who retired the year before she became famous and Vodka with the fillies; a Triple Tiara; the world record on 2400 m (2:20.6, during the 2018 Japan Cup). She was also the leader of Japan's greatest earning racehorses, surpassing T.M. Opera O's record, until fellow-Silk Racing owned/Lemaire ridden Equinox surpassed her at his last race at the 2023 Japan Cup.
Almond Eye is a bay mare with a star-and-snip marking and no leg markings. She usually ran with a black hood with a white shadow roll.
