WHEN Tosen Gift was offered for sale as a yearling at the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale in 2016, the page of the catalogue only had room for the first two dams. The daughter of Lope De Vega (Shamardal) was the fifth living offspring of the unraced Miracolia (Montjeu) and she was a half-sister at the time to a single winner, the gelding Searching (Mastercraftsman).

Bred by Peter and Antoinette Kavanagh’s Kildaragh Stud, Tosen Gift was sold for the unusual sum of €98,000 to Japan Health Summit, the ownership name in which she races today. She was sent to be trained in France by Satosha Kobayashi and two weeks ago she was a runaway winner of the Listed Prix Rose de Mai over 10 furlongs at Saint-Cloud.
