Asia Express (horse) (original) (raw)

Asia Express (Japanese: アジアエクスプレス, foaled 9 February 2011) is an American-bred, Japan-based Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was bred in Florida and exported as a two-year-old to Japan where he began his career on dirt and won two races before switching to turf to win the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes. At the end of the year he was the top-rated juvenile in Japan and took the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Colt. In the following year he was beaten in the Spring Stakes and the Satsuki Sho before reverting to dirt and winning the Leopard Stakes. He raced sporadically over the next two seasons but never won again.
