Nakayama Festa

Nakayama Festa (ナカヤマフェスタ, foaled April 5, 2006)[1] is a champion Japanese thoroughbred racehorse, which is most notable for winning the 2010 Takarazuka Kinen and running second to Workforce in the 2010 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Nakayama Festa's dam, Dear Wink, was sired by the American stallion Tight Spot, which was a Grade 1 stakes winner in the United States and has since been exported to China for stud services.

He only won one race (St Lite Kinen) as a 3-year old and placed in the 2009 Keisei Hai.

Nakayama Festa won the 2010 Takarazuka Kinen in Japan by beating two-time champion filly Buena Vista.

[5] Nakayama Festa was retired from racing in October 2011 to stand at the Breeders Stallion Station in Hidaka, Hokkaido for the 2012 breeding season.
