The retired horses

The retired horses

Hello! Last time I tell you the thing which is needed by horse racing. This time, I choose the horses especially. Race horses are participate in races until their retirement.

By the way, what do race horses do after they retire? Almost female race horses are broodmare. But almost male race horses cannot be stallion. For race horses, blood relationship is important. Furthermore blood relationship and records of father is very important because blood relationship is more affected by father than mother. In addition, broodmare can have only one baby a year, but demand of broodmare is about 8000 a year, so female race horses which do not have good records must be needed. Stallion can mate over 100 broodmare, so demand of stallion can be satisfied even if choosing stallion only famous and strong male race horse. So, stallion is strong or having good blood relationship.

Here, I introduce historic race horse. The first, I introduce “Deep Impact”. You may hear this name. He is very famous in Japan. He is the strongest race horses in same generation. Please watch this video.

Deep Impact is number 4, and in immediately of goal, his speed is burst. Any horses cannot catch up with him. This race is Arima Kinen(G1), so all race horses which participate in this race is strong. His last race, but his ability was shine and he won this race by a wide margin. He ran 13 races, and he won 12 races!! Moreover the rest race is second best! He was the strongest race horses is no doubt. I was given “Impact”!

But, I like more “Silence Suzuka” than “Deep Impact”. Please watch this race.

This race is G2, but I think its revel is almost same G1. Silence Suzuka is different type of Deep Impact. He run high pace at the beginning of race, and he win race without change nevertheless he is more tired than other horses. As I watched this race style, I was given big Impact! I want you to another race.

This race is also G2 race, but race horses which was participate in this race is very famous, and strong, and several horses won G1 race. So this race’s revel is very high, but this horse won overwhelming victory.

This horse won six races in a row, but in 1998, he participated in Tennousyou –autumn- which is G1 race and his last race. I had shock and became sad. Please watch this video.

He broke his leg this time. So he lost this race and he retired after this race. Horse racing gives strong damage. So trainer’s care is very important.

Silence Suzuka is loved many fan of horse racing, and his grave was constructed after his death. If he did not break his leg, result of Tennousyou –autumn- might be his win.

This time I introduce especially Deep Impact and Silence Suzuka. But in race horse, there are many attractive and strong horses (for example Oguri cap).       Oguri cap won 12 races in a row, and he caused boom of horse racing!!!

  Next time I tell you the media which is TV or cartoon or newspaper. Thank you!
