Agnes Digital
Agnes Digital (Japanese: アグネスデジタル, Hepburn: Agunesu Dejitaru; 15 May, 1997 – 8 December, 2021) was an American born Japan-based Thoroughbred racehorse and the winner of several notable Grade 1 races, including the 2001 Tenno Sho (Autumn), the 2001 Hong Kong Cup, and the 2003 Yasuda Kinen.
Agnes Digital's first race was on September 12, 1999, where he came in 2nd at Hanshin Racecourse. He picked up his first win at the same course on October 2.
He won his first graded race, by winning the Zen-Nippon Sansai Yushun on December 23, 1999. He then began competing in only stakes races and graded races.
He won his next graded race, the Nagoya Yushun, on June 14, 2000. He then picked up two big wins to close the year - the September 30th, 2000 Unicorn Stakes and the November 19th, 2000 international Mile Championship.
He went on a five-win streak starting in September 2001. He won the Nihon TV Hai, the Mile Championship Nambu Hai, the Autumn Tenno Sho, then the Hong Kong Cup and the February Stakes. The win streak ended with a 6th place finish at the 2002 Dubai World Cup.
His next win would be the last win of his career, as he captured the 2003 Yasuda Kinen. He tried to reclaim both the 2003 edition of the Mile Championship Nambu Hai and the 2003 edition of the Tenno Sho Autumn, but was unsuccessful. His last race was on December 28, 2003, at the Arima Kinen.
On January 18, 2004, Agnes Digital's retirement ceremony was held at Kyoto Racecourse, where he ran his final race wearing the number 13 jersey he wore when he won the Mile Championship. In preparation for the retirement ceremony, he continued to undergo light training, and it was said that he was regaining the aura of his prime. His stable hand, Tamio Inoue, commented, "I wanted him to improve a little sooner, but maybe his improvement was slow because he was getting older. Things don't always work out that way." [citation needed]
After his retirement, he was kept as a stud at Big Red Farm in Niikappu, Hokkaido. His first foals, Aim at VIP, Dream Signal, and Yamanin Kingly, debuted in 2007, placing him second in the new sire rankings behind Symboli Kris S. The following January 2008, Dream Signal won the Shinzan Kinen, marking the first victory for a foal in a Graded race. In 2014, Kazenoko won the Japan Dirt Derby, marking the first victory for a foal in a Grade 1 race (JpnI). Like himself, he has also produced foals capable of both turf and dirt such as Yamanin Kingly who won the Grade 2 Sapporo Kinen and Grade 3 Chunichi Shimbun Hai on turf whilst also grabbed the Grade 3 Sirius Stakes on dirt.
