Hello to everyone who has become interested in horse racing through Uma Musume 👋😃
Well, while many G1 races were held at the end of the year, there will be no G1 races in Japan for a while.
So, this time I'd like to briefly introduce some of the highlights of upcoming horse racing.
1️⃣January
While there aren't many major races in Japan or Europe, the Pegasus World Cup, held in the United States in late January, is a major event.
2️⃣February
February 22nd is a day to pay attention to.
First, in Japan, the February Stakes, a Grade 1 race, will be held.
It's a Grade 1 dirt race.
And even more noteworthy is the Saudi Cup, which will be held in Saudi Arabia. 🇸🇦
Forever Young will be competing in this race from Japan.
Furthermore, it's likely that this will be the day the announcement that Forever Young will become a Uma Musume will be made on a program broadcast just before the 5th anniversary of Uma Musume.
This is a very noteworthy day.
3️⃣March
The most notable event this month is the Dubai Meeting, a horse racing event held in Dubai on March 28th.
Similar to the Breeders' Cup in the United States, this is a day of numerous G1 races.
Of particular note is the main event, the Dubai World Cup. 🇦🇪✨
This race is the world's top dirt race, comparable to the Breeders' Cup in the United States.
Forever Young is also scheduled to compete in this race.
I think it would be interesting to see American Sovereignty also compete.
Also worth keeping an eye on is the Dubai Sheema Classic, which will be held over 2,400 meters on turf.
Last year, Japan's Danon Decile won, with Calandagan coming in second.
I can't wait to see who will be competing this year.
Will Croix du Nord, Museum Mile, and Calandagan be in the running?
What's more, the Takamatsunomiya Kinen, a short-distance G1 race, will be held in Japan the following day.
Also, around this time, strong horses often run in G2 and G3 races with the aim of winning the G1 race in the spring.
4️⃣Horse racing in Japan will be very exciting from April through June.
Masquerade Ball is already scheduled to compete in the G1 race, the Osaka Hai.
In addition, the classic races will begin, and the Oka Sho and Satsuki Sho will also be held.
I can't wait for this time of year! ✨
☝️Finally, I'd like to add one more thing.
The key to enjoying horse racing from January to March is the races for three-year-old horses aiming for the classic races.

And here we have it, the three-page comic special for the holidays of 2025!
The previous comic was intended to tie into something else related to the letter, but that project was cancelled, so I wanted to follow up on it in a different way.

I actually don't have a proper caption for this comic, so I'll just announce that I will be ending the year with a special quite soon.
Totally not because Metroid Prime 4 is a month away.

Nintendo ended up getting hacked some time back. Unfortunately for the hackers, they didn't exactly get anything that'd hurt Nintendo in the slightest.
But hey, it's cool, we know that Nintendo does in fact get hacked.
