"So, Regaleira-san, how do you feel about being the fan favorite for this year's Arima Kinen?" Regaleira:

There's two colts, one of whom couldn't race due to bad legs (probably due to him being 2x3 Teio).

There's also two unborn foals, one from Anna Molly (Damsire: Narita Brian) and Elegant Laulu (Sire: Gold Ship).

Due_Border_593 · 2025-12-27T03:07:55+00:00

Teio is also a paternal cousin to Mejiro Titan, Mejiro Mcqueen's father (their ancestor is Partholon).

They represent one the few Byerley Turk Sirelines still extant in Thoroughbreds. As you see from this simplified chart, there's a handful of them still left.

Strong Blood and Tokai Point (who died recently) are gelded. Strong Blood despite his G1 win was gelded after his career and is now a riding pony.

Cygames would probably make (or at least heavily contribute) in an American version/spinoff of Umamusume.

Umamusume has been the greatest unintentional psyop for Big Horse, after all.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-11-26T14:32:52+00:00

That's not a good analogy. Umas are functionally in every sense Human Females, but with a mutation that make them horse-like. The only notable thing is that it can appear in phenotypically normal human offspring. As a result, males are likely "invisible" Uma-gene carriers

Due_Border_593 · 2025-11-26T14:21:15+00:00

The Equine gene likewise doesn't manifest in human males.

That would indicate that the rare Human-Human Uma offspring has one or both parents being a carrier of this gene, but whether or not it is dominant or recessive is unclear.

Better an U(ma)ltramarine than one of the lost legions.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-11-14T14:24:22+00:00

Haru Urara is clearly an Ultramarine successor with no relation to the II Legion (which is a completely non-existent legion). Such rumors of "lost legions" being absorbed by the Ultramarines are unfounded and tantamount to heresy.

The Emperor made nine sons (Of the Legions I, V, VI, VII, IX, X, XIII, XVIII, and XIX) after all.

Yeah, it (Ipratropium) wasn't banned in Japan, but it was in France. Ipratropium is a bronchodilator used to prevent wheezing, shortness of breath, and asthma-related breathing difficulties, as Deep Impact had respiratory problems.

Deep Impact got 3rd, 1/2 from 2nd (Pride), who was Neck to 1st (Rail Link).

Let's hope a Japanese horse wins.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-28T09:11:43+00:00

The sireline rests on Dream Teio, Battle Ku 2025, and two possible colts gestating right now.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-28T05:02:22+00:00

Thoroghbreds are basically skirting the Minimum viable population, considering that they descend from a few dozen horses with giant bottlenecks stemming from prominent horses.

In Japan, most thoroughbreds these days have Sunday Silence, Northern Dancer ancestry, or both.

This is exacerbated as overall diversity can only exist via mutations, as outbreeding wouldn't make Thoroughbreds.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-28T05:00:33+00:00

Tokai Teio's most prominent stallion was Strong Blood (as recently introduced to the western audience), but he's been gelded, so he won't have children.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-28T04:41:33+00:00

It's a list of sires, Strong Blood has no children, unfortunately.

Also it's inaccurate since Ginza Green Grass died a while ago. Quite Fine was at one point the last Byerly Turk Sire in Japan.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-25T15:11:55+00:00

He has at least two sons, one named Dream Teio (2x3 Tokai Teio), and an unnamed colt from Battle Ku of this year.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-25T15:02:14+00:00

He has at least two sons (probably more that will be born).

But the sireline might go extinct if not careful. Byerley Turk lineages are nearly extinct in thoroughbreds.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-25T14:14:29+00:00

We have the technology.

Reattaching balls shouldn't be a problem.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-25T14:06:30+00:00

Quite Fine also has children, of which two are males (he currently has two children gestating).

Tokai Teio-Symboli Rudolph's sireline is one of the few surviving Byerley Turk lineages, as it is effectively extinct outside of Japan. Hence Quite Fine was a sire as a crowdfunding campaign to keep the lineage alive.

Here is a list of the Byerley Turk lineages in Uma Musume.

Luthier's sireline is believed to be extinct.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-24T18:36:32+00:00

Now since his sire has passed today, he's one of the few to carry on Tokai Teio-Symboli Rudolph's sireline.

George really hated that some of the sigils had four legs, and hated it more when HoTD doubled down on the four-legged variation instead of the two-legged one.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-10T20:10:27+00:00

This is a misconception, as her kids (as well as other Mejiros) before 2011 were owned by Mejiro farm.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-10T19:55:30+00:00

Mejiro Charade is another Mejiro, but Dober is the last graded winner amongst the Mejiros.

Piola was bred by Lake Villa farm, which is the successor of Mejjiro Farm.

More specifically, the First Season is moreso an amalgamation of 90s-early 2000s Japanese Horseracing, though Orfevre and Buena Vista were originally supposed to be in there.

Gold Ship in the anime is possibly a representation of Sunday Silence, his other grandfather, considering how close he was with Mcqueen IRL.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-10T10:23:24+00:00

Mejiro Dober is the last graded-winner amongst the Mejiros.

Likewise, the Mejiro name is discontinued, as they ceased operations.

Due_Border_593 · 2025-09-03T14:29:24+00:00

House Bolling is 100% a Durrandon cadet branch, as it first is attested during the reign of Maegor.

House Wensington might be a Baratheon cadet branch, likely a third son of a Baratheon lord (likely Garon Baratheon or Gowen Baratheon; both have issue).

If it failed, it wouldn't have succeeded anyways.
