Getting lots of love for the grey-haired horses this season due to Cinderella Gray and Pretty Gray.

Asama, Titan, Native Dancer, Silver Shark, Press Toko, and others be like: You wot?

Of those, only Native Dancer was a major winner, though he was an American horse, which doesn't discount the premise. Press Toko had 8 wins out of 23 starts, but none of those wins seemed to be major wins (though most of the older information was paywalled). Silver Shark didn't do any racing at all apparently. I couldn't find any information on Asama or Titan at all.

Press Toko is actually the first Graycoat that won Kikuka Sho so despite with a record of 24-9-4-3, that is still respectable record. Mejiro Asama and Mejiro Titan are literally Tennosho horses with Mejiro McQueen following suit. Strong Stayer lineage.

Also Silver Shark is an Irish horse that ran in France. Has a good 15-10-3-0 record. Especially winning the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp and Prix d'Ispahan.

I don't exclusively use Netkeiba's database since they locked a lot of stuff behind paywall so I do a lot of cross referencing race records with database sites like umabet and ahonoora.

Ah, that's why I couldn't find them. I was searching for just "Asama" and "Titan". Anyways, thanks for the clarification and follow-up! 😀

yeah... that's on me for just vaguely putting their name like that, sorry.
