@RaisenVt@BaburuDomOnKyo Man, the literal first time i see a umamusume fan mention Maurice is when he lost to another horse in a race, but I am happy to see my goat mentioned 😭
Also, since logotype got added, it does give me hope that grass's descendants will be added to the game at some point!
Hello to everyone who became interested in horse racing because of Uma Musume! 👋😃☀️
Recently, the last remaining offspring of Grass Wonder in Central Horse Racing won a race.
Currently, Grass Wonder's great-grandchildren and grandchildren have won G1 races, and even his great-great-grandchildren are competing.
Furthermore, in Australia, many great-great-grandchildren of Grass Wonder will make their debut from the end of this year to the beginning of next year.
These are the offspring of Hitotsu, a stallion who is Grass Wonder's great-grandson.
Hitotsu is a highly successful and popular stallion in Australia.
However, isn't it amazing that Grass Wonder's son is still winning races?
So today, I'll explain about the descendants of Grass Wonder.
The first horse to win a G1 race among Grass Wonder's offspring was Screen Hero.
He defeated Vodka to win the Japan Cup. However, he was later defeated by Daiwa Scarlet in the Arima Kinen. 😭
Screen Hero's only G1 victory was the Japan Cup.
Other horses that won G1 races include Earnestly, who won the Takarazuka Kinen against Buena Vista and Eishin Flash, and Seiun Wonder, who won the Asahi Hai.
Several of Grass Wonder's sons have become stallions, but in many cases, stallions whose offspring win G1 races need to be popular stallions themselves. Unfortunately, Grass Wonder's sons were not popular stallions.
However! Although Screen Hero isn't a particularly popular sire, he has produced many G1 winners.
First, there's Maurice. Maurice won six G1 races in mile and 2000-meter races!
Furthermore, Screen Hero's son is Gold Actor, who won the Arima Kinen.
He won the Arima Kinen against horses like Kitasan Black and Gold Ship. He appears as a different Uma Musume in the third episode of the third season of the Uma Musume anime. She's the Uma Musume who won the Arima Kinen in that episode.
Furthermore, Win Marilyn and Win Carnelian are also sons and daughters of Screen Hero, and they have won G1 races.
And Maurice's offspring, that is, Grass Wonder's great-grandchildren, also won several G1 races.
Pixie Knight, winner of the Sprinters Stakes; Jack d'Or, winner of the Osaka Hai; Geraldina, a daughter of Gentildonna, winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Cup; and Hitotsu, winner of three G1 races including the Australian Derby—these are just a few examples of Grass Wonder's great-grandchildren who have achieved great success.
Furthermore, please look forward to this weekend's Satsuki Sho, as Zoroastro, a great-grandson of Grass Wonder and rumored to be the strongest, will be competing.
And as I mentioned earlier, the children of "Hitotsu" are scheduled to make their debut in Australia at the end of this year.
Incidentally, maintaining a "Sire Line" extremely difficult.
A "Sire Line" is the continuous lineage of male horses, from one stallion to the next, through sons, grandsons, and so on.
In Japan, the highest achievement was producing G1 winners in three generations of a sire line.
However, Grass Wonder became the first stallion in history to produce G1 winners in four generations.
What's even more amazing is that Grass Wonder's sons are still winning races.
Isn't Grass Wonder incredible?
He's truly "Grass Saikyo" isn't he?"
I want people all over the world to know about the greatness of Grass Wonder, whom I have loved since his playing days 🙇
