Mr. C. B.

Mr. C. B. (Japanese : ミスターシービー, April 7, 1980 - December 15, 2000) was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and stud. In 1983 he won the Japanese Triple Crown, becoming the third horse to do so after St Lite and Shinzan. In recognition of this feat and his other strong showings, Mr. C. B. was named Japanese Horse of the Year for 1983 by the JRA, and would later be inducted into the Japan Racing Association Hall of Fame in 1986. He was also the first Triple Crown winner to be ridden by the same jockey, Masato Yoshinaga, from his debut until his retirement. The initials "C. B." stand for Chigira Bokujō (lit. 'Chigira Farm'), his birthplace.

Perspective

Mr. C. B. was a bay horse bred in Japan by Chigira Bokujo. He was sired by Tosho Boy, Satsuki Sho, Arima Kinen, Takarazuka Kinen and Takamatsunomiya Kinen winner.^[2] Tosho Boy was nicknamed "Pegasus" due to his racing performance. Tosho Boy is also an ancestor of Kikuka Sho winner Matikanefukukitaru^[3] and Singapore Airlines International Cup winner Cosmo Bulk.^[4] Mr C. B.'s mother, C. B. Queen, was also a successful racehorse who won races such as the Mainichi Okan and the Keio Hai Spring Cup.^[5] C. B. Queen and Tosho Boy both debuted in the same maiden race.

Mr C. B. was not given a unique name at birth and was known as "C. B. Queen 1" until a unique name was given.^[6] Many of Tosho Boy's offspring had an unstable rear-oriented centre of gravity, however Mr C. B. had a solid waist and was known as "a horse that inherited only the good traits of Tosho Boy."^[7]

After being weaned at Okamoto Farm, Mr C. B. was moved to Chigira Farm in Gunma Prefecture in March 1981. This farm was owned by C. B. Queen's owner and her breeder, and was where Mr. C. B. underwent training.^[8]

When he reached the age of 3, he was given the racing name "Mr. C. B.," and entered Matsuyama Yasuhisa's stable at the Miho Training Center in Ibaraki Prefecture. Initially, Mr C. B. was scheduled to be under the care of Matsuyama Yoshisaburo, who also looked after C. B. Queen, but it was changed to his son Yasuhisa.^[8]
