Hong Kong Vase
Blue Canari is a chestnut horse with a small white star bred in France by the Meridian Stud. He was sired by Acatenango, a three-time German Horse of the Year whose other progeny include the Japan Cup winner Lando and the Hong Kong Vase winner Borgia. Blue Canari's dam, Delicieuse Lady, raced in Scandinavia and won four races, including one at Copenhagen in 1997. Delicieuse Lady was a daughter of Savoureuse Lady, who won the Prix Fille de l'Air and was a half-sister to Mtoto.
