vela azul (racehorse)

Spanish: "Blue Sail". Compare to his dam's name, which means "White Sail".

Japanese racehorse. Sired by Eishin Flash and foaled by Vela Blanca. He is a black horse with a sock on his right hind leg and a faint crescent-shaped marking on his forehead.

He is something of a late bloomer, perhaps due to originally being misplaced on dirt. Upon getting on turf starting in early 2022, he started winning more frequently, easily becoming Eishin Flash's best progeny by winning the Hanshin Daishoten and the Japan Cup in 2022.
