Half-brother of seven-time G1 winner Kitasan Black, Sugar Kun will debut this Sunday at Kyoto Racecourse. Hisashi Shimizu trains the son of Duramente and Yutaka Take will take the reins for his debut.

Rider Miyamoto commented, "He is very calm. He is shorter than Kitasan Black but his movement is very smooth. I can see the potential in him."

We can see his potential in the data from his track work. He clocked 82.6 seconds for the final six furlongs and 11.3 seconds for the final furlong on the 20th of January. Miyamoto added, "He has done track work with stable mates and is on track for his debut."
