Curren Bouquetd'or (Japanese: カレンブーケドール, Hepburn: Karen Būkedōru; foaled 23 April 2016) is a retired Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and active broodmare. She competed from 2018 to 2021, recording two wins in seventeen starts, including the Listed Sweet Pea Stakes in 2019.[1] Despite never winning a graded stakes race, she placed second in six Grade 1 and Grade 2 races, including the Yushun Himba, Shuka Sho, and Japan Cup in 2019, earning her the moniker of a "silver collector" in Japanese racing media.[2]

Background

Curren Bouquetd'or is a bay mare bred in Chitose, Hokkaido, by Shadai Farm.[1] She was sired by the Japanese Triple Crown winner Deep Impact, and her dam is Solaria, a Chilean-bred mare who won multiple Group 1 races in Chile, including the Chilean 1000 Guineas and El Derby.[3] She was owned by Takashi Suzuki, who uses the "Curren" prefix for his horses, and sent into training with Sakae Kunieda at the JRA's Miho Training Center.[1]
