Updated: June 5, 2019 at 4:11 pm
Commes (Fr) is the latest daughter of Le Havre (Ire) bound for Japan, with Jour de Galop revealing that Teruya Yoshida has purchased the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches runner-up privately.
Racing as a homebred for Gerard Augustin-Normand, Commes earned 'TDN Rising Star' status with a three-length debut win at Deauville in August and has been second in three subsequent outings, including when beaten a nose by Castle Lady (Ire) (Shamardal) in the Pouliches.
Yoshida also purchased privately Le Havre's La Cressonniere (Fr) and Avenir Certain (Fr), both winners of the Pouliches and the Prix de Diane, which is Commes's next target on June 16. Yoshida also races the Mar. 10 G2 Hochi Hai Fillies' Revue winner Pourville (Jpn) (Le Havre {Ire}), who he bought in utero of the Group 3-winning Kenhope (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) for 480,000gns in 2014.
