Record Breaking Filly for Mikki Isle

Media Release - Sunday November 8

Mikki Isle’s first-crop 2YO daughter Meikei Yell did it all at Hanshin on Saturday: she kept her unbeaten status with her third win, added her second Group 3 victory and set a new juvenile track record.

Meikei Yell won her debut in August before taking out the 1200-metre Kokura Nisai S. G3 on 6 September. She has now added the ~A$730,000 Hanshin Fantasy S. 1400m G3 in the blazingly fast time of 1:20.1. (She is No. 10 in the replay with the jockey wearing an orange cap and green & white colours.)



Bred by Northern Racing, Meikei Yell was purchased from the 2019 JRHA Select Yearling Sale for ¥28.08 million (~A$350,000) by Nagoya Keiba.

She is the first foal of Shiroinger (by Dansili’s son Harbinger), an unplaced member of a prolific winning family descended from US Grade 2 winner and excellent producer Storm and Sunshine.

Another Northern Farm-bred daughter of Mikki Isle, Shirley Poppy (ex Oriental Poppy by King Kamehameha) scored a 3.5 length win over 1600 metres at Hanshin’s Sunday meeting.

Mikki Isle now has 7 first-crop 2YO winners in Japan and posted his first Australian winner when Arrowfield graduate Oriental Princess (ex Anadan by Anabaa) won her Sunshine Coast debut on 25 October.
