Aston Machan (Japanese: アストンマーチャン, Hepburn: Asuton Maachan; 5 March 2004 – 21 April 2008)[1] was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Sprinters Stakes in 2007.
Aston Machan was foaled on Shadai Farm on March 5, 2004. She was sired by Admire Cozzene who was sired by Cozzene, an American-bred racehorse who won the Breeders' Cup Mile in 1985 and was an outstanding sire. Her dam, Rustling Copse, was an American-bred racehorse sired by Woodman.[2][3]
She later died at the age of four due to acute heart failure caused by Colitis-X, an acute or peracute colitis of unknown origin that is still poorly understood. Because of this, her career was cut short.[4]
