Sakura Bakushin O (Japanese: サクラバクシンオー, Hepburn: Sakura Bakushin Ō; 14 April 1989 – 30 April 2011) was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He is regarded as one of the greatest short-distance race horses in Japanese horse-racing history, winning 11 of his 12 starts in races 1400 meters or shorter, including consecutive victories in the Grade 1 Sprinters Stakes and earning the JRA Award for Best Sprinter or Miler in 1994. However, he never won a race longer than 1400 meters despite nine attempts at them. As a sire, Sakura Bakushin O was also successful, producing numerous graded stakes winners. As a damsire, Sakura Bakushin O has continued to see success, most notably through Kitasan Black.
