Phantom strikes

Fantastic Light colt Taisei Phantom wins at Hanshin

Darley Japan stallion Fantastic Light sired an impressive Allowance winner on Saturday April 9, when his son Taisei Phantom won the 1400m dirt contest by two-and-a-half lengths, in the process recording his second career victory after a series of creditable efforts in Stakes races this season and last.

Bred by Bandam Bokujo, he is the second winner out of the Boundary mare Taiki Charade, herself a half-sister to three Stakes winners; Taiki Fortune, Taiki Dia and Taiki Lion.

Fantastic Light, whose first Japanese crop turned three this season, stands for 1.5 million yen and has sired eight G1 horses including top-flight winners Mission Critical and Scintillo.
