American Pharoah, whose introduction to the Japanese stallion ranks was announced by the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders' Association (JBBA), has completed quarantine in Yokohama and arrived early on the morning of the 28th at the JBBA Shizunai Stallion Station, where he will stand.

His career record stands at 11 starts, 9 wins, and 1 second. In 2015, he became the first American Triple Crown winner in 37 years and the 12th in history, later adding a record-setting victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic. He was crowned Horse of the Year that same season.

Starting in 2016, he entered stud at Ashford Stud in Kentucky, USA. Since then, he has sired numerous top performers worldwide, on both turf and dirt and across a wide range of distances, including several standouts in Japan.

Yusa, the manager of the stallion station, commented, "After a long-distance journey from the United States and the quarantine period, we are relieved that he has arrived safely and in good condition. Although he will stand in Japan on a one-year lease, we hope he will play an important role for the Japanese breeding industry as a stallion."
