So Many Ways sold to Japanese interests
Grade 1 winner So Many Ways, victorious Saturday night in the Charles Town Oaks, has been sold to Katsumi Yoshida of Northern Farms in Hokkaido, Japan, by her owner Maggi Moss.
A $22,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic yearling purchase in 2011, So Many Ways ends her racing career with a mark of 10-5-0-2, $717,148. In addition to scoring her Grade 1 win in the 2012 Spinaway at Saratoga, So Many Ways also registered Grade 3 triumphs in last year's Schuylerville at Saratoga and the Eight Belles at Churchill Downs in May.
"I am grateful to Jim Schenck of Lexington, Kentucky, for discovering this filly, and to Franklin Smith of Elloree, South Carolina, for developing her," Moss said. "I would also like to thank Tony Dutrow for the irreplaceable memories of her wins at Saratoga, and the amazing job he did with her. I am grateful for the exceptional job Tom Amoss did this year in understanding her and loving her as much as I did in her gutsy and amazing wins in 2013.
"Most of all, it is not her tenaciousness or athleticism that I will remember, but her kind and almost human personality, that made this decision so difficult. I am confident that her new home with Mr. Yoshida, alongside Azeri, Zazu, Musical Romance and other great mares, that she will be amongst royalty and taken care of in the same loving and wonderful environment. Albeit, a very difficult decision, I know she will be loved as much as we all loved her and live a life fit for the queen that she is."
