Bloodline: He's Had Enough — A U.S. Grade-1-Class Runner Who Was Reborn as a Stallion in the Philippines, With a Surprise Japan Connection Through His Siblings

He’s Had Enough (USA, 2010, by Tapit) is a name you keep running into when reading the Philippines’ emerging racing scene — the lead sire at Bell Racing, where his runners are putting up graded wins and track records at the new Padre Garcia Racetrack.
He also has a more familiar blood connection than international readers might expect: his full sister Rabbit Run is a 2017 Rose Stakes (G2) winner in Japan, and his half-brother Asakusa Genki took the Kokura 2YO Stakes on the flat and went on to win two jump graded races. Of the three siblings out of the dam Amelia, Rabbit Run and Asakusa Genki carried the racing flag in Japan, while He’s Had Enough ran in the U.S. before retiring and being moved to the Philippines, where he now stands as the sire of multiple graded winners.
This piece tracks the arc of a horse who couldn’t quite land a Grade 1 in the U.S. and bloomed as a sire in an emerging market, using his siblings as anchor points.

He’s Had Enough — U.S. Top-Class 2yo-to-3yo Form

He’s Had Enough was foaled April 22, 2010 in Kentucky. By Tapit, the top North American sire, out of Amelia (by Dixieland Band). Bred by Alexander Groves Matz LLC, sold at the 2011 Keeneland September Sale for USD 200,000, and raced for Woodford Thoroughbreds.

His career record reads: 11 starts in the U.S. and UAE for 1 win, USD 492,910 in earnings. Key form:

No Grade 1 win, but a 2yo BC Juvenile second and a Kentucky Derby trail Grade 2 third put him squarely in the U.S. top-class 2yo-to-3yo bracket.

Pedigree points worth holding in mind:

A Tapit son commands serious value in North American broodmare markets, and there was every reason to send He’s Had Enough to stud.

A Full Brother to Rabbit Run, Half-Brother to Asakusa Genki — The Japan Connection

For international readers, the family adds a layer not visible from the U.S. racing CV alone.

Full Sister — Rabbit Run

Rabbit Run is the full sister, sharing both sire (Tapit) and dam (Amelia).

• Foaled March 18, 2014 in the U.S.; imported to Japan by Shadai Farm via the 2015 Keeneland September Sale (Rabbit Run — JBIS Search)
• JRA career: 18 starts, 4 wins, JPY 158.9 million in earnings
• Headline wins:
  • 2017 Rose Stakes (G2) — Hanshin 1,800m turf, an Autumn Empress (Shuka Sho) trial
  • 2018 Breeders’ Gold Cup (Jpn-3) — Hokkaido Hidaka 2,000m dirt, regional graded race

The Rose Stakes is one of the main 3yo fillies G2s in Japan, contested by the top filly cohort of that season. Rabbit Run won it and ran graded form on both turf and dirt — an uncommon record for a single filly.

She is now a broodmare in Japan and has produced Bunny Hop (2021, by Isla Bonita), Lapin d’Or (2023), and Hishi Legacy (2024, by Kitala Black, bred by Shadai Farm) (Hishi Legacy — netkeiba). The Rabbit Run female family is still cycling through new generations in Japan.

Half-Brother — Asakusa Genki

Asakusa Genki shares the dam Amelia. U.S.-bred, foaled April 17, 2015. By Stormy Atlantic (USA, 1994–2026, a direct son of Storm Cat; dam Hail Atlantis by Seattle Slew).

Stormy Atlantic stood at Bridlewood Farm and later Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms in the U.S., a long-running and versatile sire who produced 112 stakes winners and 48 graded winners, with seven champions including Get Stormy (multiple Grade 1 winner) and Stormy Liberal (2018 Eclipse Award turf champion) (BloodHorse, “Pensioned Versatile Stallion Stormy Atlantic Dies at 32” / TDN). He was rated for both turf and dirt.

So Asakusa Genki shares the dam line (Amelia / Dixieland Band → Northern Dancer) with He’s Had Enough and Rabbit Run, but the sire line is Storm Cat (Stormy Atlantic), on a different axis from the Tapit-line siblings. His record:

• Won the 2017 Kokura 2YO Stakes (JRA graded) on the flat
• Switched to jumps
• Won the Kokura Summer Jump (J-G3 equivalent) in both 2021 and 2022

Asakusa Genki shows the classic JRA flat-to-jump career extension, and his jump aptitude — clearly different from the Tapit-side middle-distance / dirt orientation of the siblings — can be read as inherited from the Storm Cat line. The Amelia female family is a clean textbook case of the same dam producing horses that win in different disciplines depending on the sire.

He’s Had Enough (BC Juvenile G1 2nd in the U.S.), Rabbit Run (G2 winner in Japan, now producing further generations), and Asakusa Genki (JRA flat graded win plus two jump graded wins) — the three siblings have produced top-level results in the U.S. and Japan. Already a bloodline that has produced graded winners in two markets, He’s Had Enough then crossed to the Philippines, which is what this piece is about.

2015 Florida Stud → 2020 Philippines

The post-racing career is also worth tracking:

Standing for five seasons in Florida before a move to the Philippines is a fairly typical pattern: a bloodline established in the U.S. breeding market gets fed into an emerging-market breeding program. Securing a Tapit son with U.S. Grade-class form is a significant investment for the Philippine side (see Imported Bloodlines for the broader picture of international pedigree inflow into the Philippines).

Rebirth in the Philippines — Lead Bell Racing Sire

In the Philippines, He’s Had Enough has become the central sire for Bell Racing (owned by Elmer De Leon; see the Isa Bell article). Verifiable headline runners:

What stands out: every named runner has raced at Padre Garcia and either set a track record or won a graded race. Within a few seasons of arriving, He’s Had Enough is functioning as the cross-generation lead bloodline at Bell Racing.

A horse who couldn’t quite land a Grade 1 in the U.S. is producing winners as a sire in an emerging market. Beyond He’s Had Enough as an individual, this is a working case of the classic principle that racing ability and sire ability don’t fully overlap — verified again on a new stage in the Philippines.

The broader Bell Racing breeding strategy (multiple proven mares — Dr. Fager’s Gal / Tocqueville / Footsteps — crossed with He’s Had Enough / Union Bell / Union Rags) is covered in a separate article. This piece focuses on He’s Had Enough as an individual.

International Comparison — A Path for U.S. Grade-Class Blood Into Emerging Markets

He’s Had Enough’s CV maps cleanly onto the relationship between the U.S. breeding market and emerging racing markets.

Path B captures the structure of how a bloodline whose value tops out in the U.S. under the ‘no Grade 1’ label gets re-rated in an emerging market. For the Philippine side, this is a relatively cost-rational way to secure U.S. Grade-class blood, directly improving the supply quality of the new market.

Rabbit Run to Japan, He’s Had Enough to the Philippines — siblings out of the same dam have followed different market paths, a clean illustration that the international bloodline world moves across national assignments.

Caveats

• Cumulative progeny record in the Philippines: Philracom’s official sire ranking statistics have not been verified by us at time of writing. The three runners cited (Midnight Bell / Bea Bell / Rapido) are the headline cases confirmable in local reporting ※
• Bell Racing’s breeding strategy (multi-mare axis, mating design) is covered in a separate article. This piece focuses on He’s Had Enough as an individual
• No betting implications: This is a bloodline article, not a tipping or pricing piece

Summary

He’s Had Enough is more than “a U.S.-bred sire active in the Philippines.”
He carries Tapit-son, BC Juvenile second U.S. Grade-class ability, and he has a Japan blood connection via his full sister Rabbit Run (Rose Stakes G2 winner) and his half-brother Asakusa Genki (Kokura 2YO Stakes + two jump graded wins).
A horse who couldn’t land a Grade 1 in the U.S., stood five seasons in Florida, and was then moved to the Philippines, where he has bloomed as the cross-generation lead sire at Bell Racing.
For an international audience, this is one of the cleaner cases of a U.S. Grade-class bloodline being re-rated in an emerging market — and one where the connections back to Japan via the siblings makes the story unusually concrete. We’ll keep tracking Rabbit Run’s broodmare descendants and He’s Had Enough’s progeny in the Philippines in parallel.
