SODASHI ソダシ, a pure white thoroughbred racehorse, has quickly become an internet sensation, in addition to being a champion on the racetrack - winning G1 races including the Sapporo Kinen, previously won by the likes of Normcore ノームコア and Admire Moon アドマイヤムーン, and the Oka Sho, previously won by Gentildonna ジェンティルドンナ, Almond Eye アーモンドアイ, Gran Alegria グランアレグリア and Daring Tact デアリングタクト.
SODASHI is by Jurofune クロフネ and out of Buchiko ブチコ and is trained by Naosuke Sugai. In 2020, she won the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Filly.

There is an absolute queen of miles in Japan called Gran Alegria, but Sodashi broke the record for Gran Alegria at the Oka Sho two years later.

[@InquisitorAstelon]

What an absolutely beautiful horse. I hope she has a long and illustrious career and that she pulls off a win this Sunday. She missed on the second race of the Filly's Triple Crown but she can still go 2 of 3!

[@Sapreme]

Sodashi proving that shes not just a sprinter. Everybody thought that Sodashi couldn't handle 2000m+ after getting 8th at the Oaks, but she just proved them wrong and revived the double crown dream. Sapporo Kinen might have been a G2, but the competition was G1 level. Loves Only You is a terrific horse and Blast Onepiece was an Arima Kinen winner and Colt of the Year in 2018.

[@controlleddemolition9112]

I didn't realize Loves Only You was in that race. I can't follow the race call in Japanese. Loves Only You just missed winning the Dubai Sheema in a three-horse blanket finish behind Mishriff and Chrono Genesis. The others were far back. She won the QE II Cup at Sha Tin, handily beating Magical if I recall. This white wonder is not just beautiful, she's a world-class star who could be getting better.

[@BLOODYGUN826]

Golden Sixty will kill Sodashi

[@dabage553]

The only things that stands between Sodashi and that double crown is Satono Reinas and Uberleben. Satono Reinas might not have her G1 win yet but the horse is talented and had a respectable 5th in a very close Japanese Derby. Uberleben is also a fantastic horse with a convincing win in the Japanese Oaks. All 3 of these fillies will become the cornerstone of Japan racing in the next few years.

In recent years, a number of white horses have been born in Japan, but they are inherited from a single horse, not from albino. The horse's name is Shirayukihime(Snow White), and she is said to be a mutation, not an albino.

[@dmw5332]

My heart thrills watching her! So refreshing to see a different colored horse -- always wondered why there wasn't more color diversity in thoroughbreds.

[@xNeariax]

On the colour diversity, in short: most world-class racehorses go back to the same very limited ancestor pool - and through further selective interbreeding through the generations, a lot of them are more or less related these days. If you look at their pedigrees you'll often notice that a couple of names are in there multiple times. For example, the mother's grandfather was also the father's great-grandfather. Things like that. Limits the pool of genetic diversity. Which is wanted to pass down the talent, but automatically also leads to repeating colours eventually. Mutations can occur, of course, but would be very rare by nature. Hope that clears it up a bit. :)

[@ruyili9169]

@EmeraldDunDreki Sodashi is not grey, but white, there’s a mutation in her gene that resulted in her pink skin and white hair. This gene is passed from her grandmother. Her mother Pochiko (which means, spotted) has black spots on her white fur. White horses can indeed become good racehorses because this gene only changes their appearance, but won’t affect their racing ability. Before her several white racehorses had won races, including her mother. However, if a male white horse mates with a female one, the gene mutation will not be controllable, and the fetus will likely has severe health problems. If one of the parents is a white horse, then the possibility of getting a white infant will be 50%. So that’s the reason why pure white horses are so rare. And those who can win G1 is even rarer. Right now Sodashi is the only white horse in the world who has ever won a G1. (she got 3 since her debut)

[@comfortme]

@@EmeraldDunDrekigreys have black skin, sodashi is pink and was born white. it is not a mutation in this case, she is what is called a “true white” because of that. they are extremely rare

[@myronschabe]

Cause they breed em for speed not color....is very non subjective that way...they also are not bred for looks but most of them are quite beautiful regardless. And as someone below points out...they are almost all related now regardless being so specialized.

[@danielrobles7586]

I love this info as the big question for me always is, where in her pedigree did she get that color? ...and so many of these horses are (forgive the pun) dark. All the same almost all racehorses these days has a bit of Northern Dancer in them ... He was an extraordinarily popular and successful sire.

[@LICKMEKNUTS]

@@kathleenmurphy2379 and surprisingly, she’s white. Idk if it’s superstitious or there’s history behind it. But, most race horse breeders DONT want white horses believing them to be more injury prone. This was especially true with horses with With hooves. There are some who believe white hooves are softer the pigmented hooves, and thus more susceptible to splitting. There was a horse who raced mostly west coast, named Flying Paster( white horse) won 13 IN a ROW @ Santa Anita and Golden Gate and maybe Los Alametos. I was at Santa Anita for many but was there for 14th. They bet him down to 1-5, he came in 9th out of 9 horses......the fix was in.....

Exactly...great team effort between jock and pony

[@napodyna6981]

Thanks for the upload. Regarding the video description... Sodashi's sire is Kurofune (USA) (literally, "black ship"), a dual G1 winner, not Jurofune. Sapporo Kinen is a GII, not a GI. By the way, Sodashi's dam, Buchiko (JPN), and granddam, Shirayukihime (JPN), are white, and Kurofune (USA) is gray.

[@vernonfrance2974]

NupoDyna You have good information except Buchiko has black spots on a white background, much like a Dalmatian dog. I am a fan from the USA. We haven't gotten many white thoroughbreds into the races here and the ones who have raced have not done very well. Sunday Silence, an American thoroughbred, is in the ancestry of your beautiful white and spotted horses, although he was black. Sayonara.

[@napodyna6981]

​@@vernonfrance2974 Right. Buchiko has bay color spots ("buchi" means pint), but she is pedigree-registered in the studbook as white (not gray) in accordance with her base color. Her dam, Shirayukihime's, "shira-yuki" means snow white and "hime" means Princess.

[@vernonfrance2974]

@@napodyna6981 Thank you for correcting me. I am sorry for my errors and I will tell others I was wrong as a way to atone for them. I am always happy to learn the truth even when it reveals my ignorance. Did you know that a Kentucky Derby Winner, Sunday Silence, who was black in color, is one of their ancestors? He was Shirayukihime's sire.

[@napodyna6981]

​@@vernonfrance2974 This is probably because the Thoroughbred registry does not indicate leopard spots or other pint patterns as coat color. Gray horses also gradually turn white as they get older, but their skin is usually black. Yep. Sunday Silence is the greatest stallion that ever stood in Japan. He was champion 13 times each in the sire and broodmare-sire rankings. Unusually for a stallion, his adorable stuffed animals and other merchandise were very popular. Those of caps and T-shirts were very stylish, with white dyed out to represent the shape of the blaze markings running from his forehead to the bridge of his nose over an all-black background, like the Nike logo. Shirayukihime's dam, Wave Wind (USA) is bay colored, so Shirayukihime's coat color is considered a mutation.
