## Life and career

[edit]

Agnes Flora was a bay mare by Royal Ski, out of the 1979 Yushun Himba winner Agnes Lady. She was most prominently known for her win at the Oka Sho in 1990.[4] She also won the Tulip Sho and Elfin Stakes in Japan. At the end of the year, Agnes Flora won the JRA Award for Best Three-Year-Old Filly.

She was retired from racing soon after coming in second place behind Eishin Sunny at the Yushun Himba in 1990 after developing symptoms of tendonitis while in the process of recovering from a cracked bone.

In retirement, Agnes Flora was a strong broodmare, producing the 2000 Tokyo Yushun winner Agnes Flight and the 2001 Satsuki Sho winner Agnes Tachyon, the latter of whom became a prominent sire who sired the Arima Kinen winner Daiwa Scarlet and the dual Grade 1 winner (Tokyo Yushun, NHK Mile Cup)  Deep Sky.

Agnes Flora died on August 8, 2005 from laminitis.
