Mark Smith - Sunday December 4

Deep Impact colt Satono Arthur, a son of the Group 1-winning New Zealand mare King's Rose (Redoute's Choice), made it two wins from as many starts with a bloodless win in a 2-Year-Old Allowance over 1800 metres at Hanshin on Sunday.

Owned and bred by Dr. Gene Tsoi, King's Rose was transferred to Peter Moody and added wins in the in the Group II Memsie Stakes and Group II Stock Stakes before a narrow defeat to fellow New Zealander (King) Mufhasa in the Group 1 Toorak Hcp.

Beaten a nose by Albert The Fat in the Group1 Emirates Stakes, King's Rose was retired after runner-up efforts in the Group III Moonga Stakes at Caulfield and the Group II Gilgai Stakes at Flemington.

Sadly, her dam Nureyev's Girl (USA) (Nureyev) died on September 29, three weeks after foaling a filly by Snitzel.
