About
Fine Line is a 4yo from Japan trained by Mikio Matsunaga. The colt is by Fine Needle out of Deep South and has recorded four wins so far. On 8 Mar 2026 at Hanshin, Fine Line captured its most important triumph, securing the $36,000,000 Kishiwada Stakes (allow). The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors, and a backer who stayed with Fine Line all along would have enjoyed an 89% return on investment.
