Lime Country sales graduate Cosmo Peridot scored his maiden victory in a maiden 3YO event over 1400m in Tokyo on Sunday.
Settled back by jockey Daichi Shibata, the southern hemisphere-bred two-year-old son of Jimmy Choux showed an excellent turn of foot against his older opponents, despite racing greenly, to win for trainer Yoshiyasu Takahashi.
Bred by Richard and Liz Wood's Chouxmaani Investments from their Testa Rossa mare, Diva Von Tessa, Cosmo Peridot was a $210,000 purchase by well-known Japanese racing and breeding operation Big Red Farm out of Lime Country Thoroughbreds 2016 NZB Select Sale draft.
