2021 b. h. Blue Point - Kerasona (Oasis Dream)
Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard
By Gr.1 winning sprinter Blue Point out of Kerasona, a five-furlong Listed winning daughter of Oasis Dream, Keran boasts a pedigree designed for speed.
He made an early debut as a two-year-old in 2023, breaking his maiden by an easy two and a half lengths in mid-April. On his next start, he finished a close second, before being put away for the following season.
Keran made another successful seasonal debut in a Class 2 at Cagnes in February 2024, extending his winning margin to four and a half lengths, before landing his first bit of blacktype when second on heavy ground in the Gr.3 Prix Djebel at Deauville.
He was considered smart enough to head to the Gr.1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains, but sustained an injury in the race won by Zarak colt Metropolitan and was put away for the following season.
Keran, as his pedigree suggests, will try his hand back at sprinting distances in 2025.
