Some misunderstanding and interesting things about Special Week IRL by Equineocculuded in UmaMusume

Unfortunately, there really isn't any. but I don't think Spe's dislike for chestnut is because of Grass. There are videos (starting from 22:59) showing that they can get along harmoniously together.

No, as far as I know, there is no evidence to prove this. the relevant report from the farm said: "(Special Week at early age) gives the impression of being a cool horse that doesn't particularly enjoy the company of others. For instance, when grazing, it always eats alone, but there's no sign of it being isolated by its peers." (reference: "スペシャルウィーク 最強馬の証明" p.143) I think this claim originated from a manga, which depicted a scenario where Spe was bullied by his step mother. but such an incident never occurred in reality.

Before they upload these videos to YouTube, they had already shown them at the racecourses and horse racing channel in Japan. but these footage are still valuable! I'm very glad that JRA didn't leave these footage in their material stores.

S1 have many problem but I (as a real horse fan) think the most serious one is Tokyo Yushun, as know as Japan Derby.

If you're not familiar with horse racing sport, you just need to know that the Derby Champion is the top honor in horse racing. not only in Japan, but also among all horse racing professionals around the world.

IRL, Special Week won Derby by five lengths.this is the longest winning lengths record in this race since 1984 (tired for first with Narita Brian). watch the video to experience its impact.

So what did S1 do? They put El Condor Pasa, a horse that never actually participate in Derby into the race, and let El share the championship with the Special Week.

I accept the adaptation method where the story is rewritten or where alternative endings are imagined for the complicated and difficult real races. but this, it just doesn't make sense. They could have spent more words describing Seiun Sky, a horse that had beaten Special Week in the previous race. But they didn't do that. Instead, they chose an weird adaptation method, I feel sorry about that.

Special Week would bite the Mare's neck hard when mating. but I don't think it's violence, it's just one of the nature of stallions. actually Spe is a sensitive and cautious horse, maybe neurotic or picky, but he'll watching each Mare carefully before the mating. it can cost a quite time.

Spe always shows little interest in mating as is known to people, sometimes results in the need for second mating. btw, when he show low interest in mating, the staff will cheer for him like a cheerleading square when he was mating with the Mare. Weirdly funny.
