A son of Gold Allure and one of Japan's defining dirt champions, Espoir City won nine top-level dirt races. His 2009 Japan Cup Dirt and 2010 February Stakes anchored a dominant run that earned him the JRA Award for Best Dirt Horse in both 2009 and 2010; he remained elite long enough to win the 2013 JBC Sprint at age eight.

A prickly, rebellious gal who bristles at authority and charges into every race to prove how strong she is. Espoir City is at her best as a Front Runner or Pace Chaser on sprint-to-mile dirt, though her tough act has one comic weakness: she tends to trip precisely when she is trying hardest to look cool.

She's in today's answer pool — put your knowledge to the test.
