Is Kitasan Black good?
Kitasan Black is above all a legacy parent: her Unique, Victory Cheer!, boosts acceleration on back stretches, which most Long races have, so Front Runners who inherit it get much stronger over Long distances.
She's worth pulling if you already run Front Runners like 
Seiun Sky or 
Mihono Bourbon. Build her as a Long Front Runner herself, with Stamina for her Long career races.
Strengths
- Top legacy parent for Long Front Runners
- Unique boosts acceleration on back stretches
- Strong Long Front Runner in her own right
Weaknesses
- Most value comes through inheritance
- Needs heavy Stamina for her Long races
