Fusaichi Pandora (Japanese: フサイチパンドラ, 27 Feb 2003 – 28 Oct 2017) was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse best known as the dam of champion racehorse Almond Eye. Her major wins include the 2006 Queen Elizabeth II Cup, in which she was promoted to victory following the demotion of Kawakami Princess, and the 2007 GII Sapporo Kinen.

Fusaichi Pandora was a chestnut mare bred in Hokkaido by Northern Farm.^[1] She was part of the last crop of foals from her sire, Sunday Silence, the 1998 American Horse of the Year and leading sire in Japan from 1995-2007. Some of her notable half-siblings include Special Week, Stay Gold, Agnes Tachyon, Manhattan Cafe, Still in Love, Daiwa Major, and Deep Impact.

Fusaichi Pandora began her career on November 12, 2005, with winning her debut race at Kyoto Racecourse on turf at a distance of 1,800 meters. She would participate in the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies on the 4th of December in the same year as the 2nd favorite, placing 3rd.^[3]

She would score her next win at the Kinsenka Sho on February 25, 2006 following defeats in a 2-year old allowance race the year prior and in the Elfin Stakes earlier in the month. Fusaichi Pandora would place 2nd in the G3 Flower Cup in March, qualifying her for the first leg of the Japanese Triple Tiara, the Oka Sho.^[4]

On April 9, Fusaichi Pandora would run in the Oka Sho as the 2nd favorite and place 14th. Her jockey would be switched from Koichi Tsunoda to Yuichi Fukunaga following this event. In the Japanese Oaks, she would drop to 5th favorite and finish 2nd behind Kawakami Princess.^[5] Afterwards, Fusaichi Pandora would place 3rd in the G2 Rose Stakes and 3rd in the final leg of the Japanese Triple Tiara, the Shuka Sho, once again behind Kawakami Princess.^[6]

On November 12, Fusaichi Pandora would participate in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup as the 7th favorite. She would initially finish 2nd behind Kawakami Princess and ahead of Sweep Tosho, the previous year's winner. However, race stewards determined Kawakami Princess' jockey to have caused disturbance to another horse during the race, demoting Kawakami Princess to 12th place and allowing Fusaichi Pandora to win by promotion.^[7] Following this, Fusaichi Pandora would resume racing 2 weeks later, finishing 5th in the Japan Cup.^[8]

She would have a disappointing four-year-old season, placing 9th back-to-back in the G2 races Nikkei Sho and Yomiuri Milers Cup. As the 6th favorite, she would race in the G1 Victoria Mile, placing 12th.^[9]

Following a 5th-place finish in the G3 Queen Stakes, Fusaichi Pandora would achieve her 2nd graded stakes win in the G2 Sapporo Kinen on September 2 after a temporary jockey change to Shinji Fujita. Her next race, the G3 Elm Stakes would result in an 11th-place finish.

On November 11, Fusaichi Pandora would attempt to defend her victory at the Queen Elizabeth II Cup, finishing 2nd under jockey Christophe Lemaire to champion racehorse Daiwa Scarlet. She would place 9th in the following Japan Cup under Fujita, and retire after withdrawing from the Arima Kinen in December due to health concerns with her left hip.^[10]

Fusaichi Pandora would return to Northern Farm after retiring to become a broodmare.^[11] Her most notable offspring is Almond Eye, the Japanese Horse of the Year in 2018 and 2020, among other honors.
