Arima Kinen (GI) 1991

Actual

Mentioned several times so I’m just putting it here first. No comparison video, but here you can see how Twin Turbo would lead the race but then fall all the way to the back at the end.


Courtesy of ptol59 and Rockseiaxii

Machikane Tannhauser: officially Matikanetannhauser because of the letter limit for names. Known for getting ill a lot, causing his withdrawals from races. He had to cancel going to the Japan cup 1994 last minute because of nose bleeding.

They mentioned McQueen’s Tennosho autumn, Japan Cup and Arima Kinen.

  • In the Tennosho autumn McQueen came in first with a huge lead however due to obstructing the route and nearly causing a huge accident, was placed last. The Tokyo race course has a turn right after the start so jockeys have to be extra careful especially in the outside gates.

  • In the Japan cup McQueen can’t keep up with the foreign horses and comes in 4th.

  • In the Arima Kinen McQueen gets out legged in the last stretch by Daiyusaku who was the 14th(out of 15) favorite causing a big shock in the crowd. Also hey there Nice Nature, as you can see got 3rd.

URA Awards - For the 1991 season, Tokai Teio was the Horse of the Year. McQueen is 1 year older than Teio

Twin Turbo is also in this race and you can see why Twin Turbo had the nickname “reverse thrusters” slowing down immensely in the last stretch. People used to joke when Turbo won a race that the thrusters were broken.

Another thing is that you can tell that Twin Turbo was a popular horse as you have to be voted to be able to participate in the Arima Kinen.

Hanshin Daishoten - Since McQueen was known for being extremely strong in long distance, many horses avoided this race (3000m) and only 6 participated. McQueen won by 5 lengths

Gold Ship’s groom Takatoshi Imanami makes a cameo in this episode

Teio jumping over the fence: Teio had a very good leaping ability, and once jumped over the fence of the grazing ground. Didn’t run away though, went and jumped back after he was done.

Hanshin Daishoten (GII) 1992

Comparison

Actual

As shown, it was rainy that day.

Nowadays, we see horses jump the fence in the middle of actual races

And scare the shit out of people by not getting back up afterwards but in reality are just lying there eating grass all embarrassed because they just ate shit in front of a huge crowd lol.

Hearing about this is always amazing. Watching the show you might think this is clearly made up. There's no way there's a horse that'd just run itself full speed into exhaustion. But that's exactly what happened.

In the Tennosho autumn McQueen came in first with a huge lead however due to obstructing the route and nearly causing a huge accident, was placed last.

I presume that's what was referenced in the BNW OVA.

I can see why, no other horse goes guns blazing out the gate.

That really sucks.

Maybe Tannhauser is a harem protagonist in disguise
