Among horse racing aficionados throughout the world, Equinox is a household name. The world was shocked by the retirement of the Japanese racehorse after his magnificent victory at the G1 Japan Cup. After an almost flawless career, Equinox retired with eight victories from ten races. The horse’s other two races were equally respectable, as he finished second in each of them by a hair’s length.

After his retirement, he went to live with his father, Kitasan Black, a Japan Cup champion, at the Shadai Stallion Station. Since he is now free to experiment in other areas, Equinox is also growing in popularity after his retirement. Horse racing magazines were quick to highlight any success that Equinox had. The champion stallion has been elegantly featured on the cover of the famous Japanese magazine Gallops.

Just the way of Equinox

When it came to horse racing, Equinox was always unrivaled. No obstacle could stop the offspring of Kitasan Black from achieving triumph. While many fans of the horse were understandably moved by his retirement, they continued to make visits to the Shadai Stallion Station on occasion to see the stallion bask in his newfound freedom.

Recently, Graham Pavey on X posted about the horse’s new feat. In the caption of the post, he said, “EQUINOX on the cover of Gallops, not winning another Group 1, this time as a Sire!” Horse racing magazines have previously featured Equinox, but this one was special since it would be the first occurrence of the horse being off-track.

New partner of the Japanese legend

There are a lot of prospects out there, and the world won’t mind a new one. Everyone was hoping that Equinox, Kitasan Black’s offspring, would be a top-tier racehorse when he was born. Equinox, too, demonstrated his abilities promptly upon entering the world of horse racing. The stallion’s retirement after its G1 Japan Cup victory disappointed the racing community, which had hoped for more from the elegant beast.
