AOMORI CITY CONFIRMS DEBUT PROMISE IN GROUP 2

Godolphin’s Aomori City, a two year old son of Oasis Dream and Setsuko, confirmed the promise of his winning debut when finishing third, beaten 2 1/2 lengths by the winner Whistlejacket in the Group 2 July Stakes over 1200 metres at Newmarket on July 11th. The Charlie Appleby trained colt had won his first start at Nottingham on June 13th.

Aomori City was bred by partnership by the Haras de Saint Pair and Mme Elizabeth Fabre’s Ecurie Peregrine and was sold to Stroud Coleman Bloodstock at the 2023 Arqana August sale. His dam Setsuko was unable to race due to injury incurred in her box and had only two foals, the useful winner Sous La Neige and Aomori City. She was a Shamardal half sister to the Group winner Soleil Marin.
