Apapane (horse)

Apapane (Japanese: アパパネ, Hepburn: Apapane; foaled 20 April 2007) is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who became the third filly to win the Japanese Triple Tiara in 2010. As a two-year-old in 2009, she won three of her four races including the Grade I Hanshin Juvenile Fillies and won the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Filly. In the following year, she won the Oka Sho and Yushun Himba, tying the race with Saint Emilion in Japan's first ever dead heat in a Grade 1 race, before completing the Triple Tiara with a victory at the Shūka Sho and winning the JRA Award for Best Three-Year-Old Filly. In the following spring, she won her fifth Grade I race when she defeated the Japanese Horse of the Year Buena Vista in the Victoria Mile. She never won again and was retired after developing a leg problem in September 2012. Apart from her victories, she finished third in consecutive runnings of the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup in 2010 and 2011.
