Real Horse: North Flight
Born April 12, 1990, North Flight was a chestnut mare racehorse and later a broodmare.
Her father, Tony Bin, won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and was a major imported stallion in Japan.
North Flight was his first crop and became one of his key offspring.
She was bought for a very low price because people weren’t interested, but proved everyone wrong by becoming the Queen of the Mile, winning both the Yasuda Kinen and Mile Championship in 1994.
She was famous for her good looks and strong build, even though she was a mare.
Her jockeys included Yutaka Take and Koichi Tsunoda.
North Flight had to delay her racing debut due to weak health, missing out on early big races, but quickly became noticed with big wins.
Her record is 8 wins in 11 races, rarely finishing outside the top two.
North Flight beat male horses in mile races and never lost at 1600m or 1700m, earning her the "Queen of the Mile" title.
She became a model for separating sprint and mile racing categories in Japan, especially after her rivalry with Sakura Bakushin O.
After retiring, she produced a few notable horses, including Miss Cast, who sired Tenno Sho winner Beat Black.
North Flight lived out her retirement as a respected horse and passed away due to old age in 2018.
North Flight was only ever beaten by a male horse once—in the Swan Stakes by Sakura Bakushin O.
She was recognized as the Best Older Filly or Mare by the JRA Awards after her retirement.
North Flight’s and Sakura Bakushin O’s grandchildren have both become Tenno Sho winners—both carrying "Black" in their names (Kitasan Black and Beat Black).
