Nebraska Racing has emerged as a captivating new presence in the Japanese horse racing world. Registered with the Japan Racing Association (JRA) as an owner, this unfamiliar name first appeared at the 2025 Select Sale, immediately sparking widespread discussion. While no official statements have been made regarding its operator, reports strongly suggest that Kimihiko Sugino, president of the major amusement facility Round One, is the individual behind this new entity. Sugino, who registered as a JRA owner in 2018, currently operates under the corporate name “M’s Racing,” known for its distinctive racing silks (black, red sleeves, white chevron). As the representative of M’s Racing, Sugino is a member of the Kyoto Owners’ Association and is deeply involved in local racing activities, notably campaigning successful horses like Harper at his home track, Kyoto Racecourse. Nebraska Racing itself is believed to be a corporate ownership entity, and while its exact location remains undisclosed, the aforementioned circumstances point to a high probability that it is a new ownership venture by Kimihiko Sugino (M’s Racing).

Nebraska Racing’s Blockbuster Purchases at the 2025 Select Sale

Nebraska Racing made an unforgettable debut at the 2025 Select Sale, executing a series of remarkably high-value transactions and establishing a formidable presence from its very first participation. The most striking aspect was its success in securing the highest-priced horse in both the Day 1 Yearling Session and the Day 2 Foal Session, astonishing horse racing fans and media worldwide. Below is a list of the main horses purchased by Nebraska Racing at the 2025 sale (all prices exclude tax). “Consignment Name” in the table refers to a temporary designation combining the dam’s name with the year of the foal’s birth.

Mosheen no 2024 (Colt, Sire Kitasan Black × Dam Mosheen): This colt, out of the champion mare Mosheen (winner of four Australian Group 1 races), became the highest-priced horse of the 2025 Select Sale’s Day 1 (Yearling Session), fetching 420,000,000 JPY (excluding tax). Bred by Northern Racing, his dam has produced notable runners such as Primogenitura (a half-sister with three JRA mile stakes wins) and Danon Airs Rock (a half-brother who was also a high-priced sale topper). The announcement of Nebraska Racing as the buyer instantly ignited intense speculation about the identity of this new powerhouse.
Midnight Bizzou no 2025 (Colt, Sire Equinox × Dam Midnight Bizzou): This highly anticipated first foal of the American champion mare Midnight Bizzou (five GI wins, 2019 Eclipse Award for Champion Older Female) was consigned to the 2025 Select Sale’s Day 2 (Foal Session). He commanded an astonishing 580,000,000 JPY (excluding tax), securing the third-highest price in Japanese thoroughbred auction history and becoming the overall highest-priced lot of the entire sale. With his sire, Equinox, being a highly anticipated first-crop stallion, this colt was arguably the most watched offspring. Nebraska Racing’s consecutive record-breaking purchases, following their Day 1 success, reportedly drew significant applause from the captivated audience.

M’s Racing’s Investment History and Racecourse Performance

Kimihiko Sugino, the owner widely believed to be behind Nebraska Racing (through his M’s Racing entity), has been recognized as a prominent new owner since his 2018 registration, consistently purchasing numerous horses for over 100,000,000 JPY at auction each year. He has a particular focus on high-value Northern Farm-bred horses. Notable past purchases by M’s Racing include:

At the 2019 Select Sale Yearling Session, Sugino acquired multiple horses for over 200,000,000 JPY, including Sunday Arthur (colt, sire Heart’s Cry) for 291,600,000 JPY and Fidel (colt, sire Heart’s Cry) for 209,000,000 JPY. In the same year, he also purchased Sunday Jack (colt, sire Daiwa Major) for 183,600,000 JPY, bringing his total to over seven horses purchased for more than 100,000,000 JPY. The prevalence of “Sunday~” in many of these horses’ names highlighted Sugino’s ambitious buying strategy in racing publications.
At the 2024 Select Sale, M’s Racing continued its trend of high-value acquisitions. For instance, in the Foal Session, they purchased a Kitasan Black colt (out of Delphinium II) for 590,000,000 JPY. This colt was later named “M’s Begin” and its purchase price stands as the second-highest record in Japanese thoroughbred auction history, demonstrating Sugino’s massive investments even before the suspected launch of Nebraska Racing.

Turning to the on-track performance of M’s Racing’s stable, while a GI title has yet to be secured, several horses have achieved success at the graded stakes level. Here are examples of their representative runners and their achievements:

Harper (Filly, Sire Heart’s Cry) – Harper secured M’s Racing (Kimihiko Sugino) their first graded stakes victory in the 2023 GIII Queen Cup. Harper was purchased at the 2020 Select Sale Foal market for 94,600,000 JPY, marking a significant return on investment for the owner. She continued her impressive form by finishing third in both the Shuka Sho and Queen Elizabeth II Cup (both GⅠ) that same year, showcasing M’s Racing’s presence in Sugino’s home region of Kyoto.
Fidel (Colt, Sire Heart’s Cry) – This colt, a highly anticipated purchase at approximately 200,000,000 JPY from the Select Sale, showed great promise early in his career, finishing fourth in the GⅠ Hopeful Stakes as a two-year-old. While he has yet to claim a graded stakes title, Fidel represents the owner’s most competitive performance in a GⅠ-level race to date.

Other notable horses owned by M’s Racing include Sunday Arthur (a 290 million JPY purchase who remained unraced), Sunday Jack (who later secured one win in local racing), and Jeanne (a Deep Impact filly purchased for a high 159,500,000 JPY). However, it has been noted that despite numerous high-priced acquisitions, the overall win rate has not always matched the substantial investment. As of 2023, some commentators observed that “the purchase prices and the horses’ strength were not aligning.” The future challenge for Nebraska Racing (and by extension, Kimihiko Sugino) will be to see how many of these expensive acquisitions can ultimately deliver classic or GI victories. The racing community eagerly awaits the emergence of new star performers to follow in Harper’s footsteps.

Stunning Debut at the 2025 Select Sale: Nebraska Racing made headlines on Day 1 of the 2025 Select Sale by immediately securing the day’s highest-priced horse (420,000,000 JPY), becoming the top buyer. Their spending spree continued into the next day’s Foal Session, where they acquired an exceptionally high-priced colt (580,000,000 JPY), placing them among the top tier of buyers historically. With a total expenditure estimated at over 1,000,000,000 JPY across the two days, this unprecedented buying activity became a defining moment of the “record-breaking 2025 Select Sale” and was widely reported across various news outlets. Horse racing fans were abuzz with the question, “Who exactly is Nebraska Racing?”
Speculation Regarding Identity: Following the sale, intense speculation surrounded the individual behind Nebraska Racing. Several horse racing media outlets reported, “Though an unfamiliar name, it is rumored to be an alternative ownership name for M’s Racing (Kimihiko Sugino).” Social media platforms were flooded with comments such as, “The buyer seems to be the Round One president,” and “Is M’s Racing undergoing a name change?” While no official announcement has been made, and no direct comments from sources close to the owner have emerged regarding these rumors, the consensus among the racing community is that the “Nebraska Racing = Kimihiko Sugino (M’s Racing)” theory is highly plausible, though still unconfirmed.
Interviews and Owner Comments: During the 2025 sale, there were no confirmed direct interviews with the individual who purchased horses under the Nebraska Racing banner. While international-focused racing media like Idol Horse published interviews with other prominent owners (e.g., Susumu Fujita) and trainers, Nebraska Racing was consistently referred to as the “mystery new owner.” The identity of the buyer remained undisclosed at the venue immediately after the purchases, with only a corporate-sounding name announced. However, this very mysterious presentation itself generated significant buzz, attracting attention from not only domestic but also international racing media (with publications like the U.S. BloodHorse magazine highlighting the high-priced Midnight Bizzou colt). Kimihiko Sugino is generally not highly visible in the media, and his silence post-sale has continued. The racing world eagerly awaits an official statement or clarification in due course.

In conclusion, Nebraska Racing has injected a new surge of excitement into the 2025 racing landscape with its explosive market presence at the sales and the captivating mystery surrounding its true identity. As the horses purchased under this name begin their careers and potentially contend in graded stakes and GⅠ races, the full picture of Nebraska Racing’s operations will undoubtedly become clearer. The entire horse racing community continues to watch its developments with keen interest.
