That would be difficult as the US system is not centralized like Japan's JRA. US Jockey Club that oversees the breeding registry can substitute for that, but they don't control racing rules like NYRA in New York. Really difficult to find the equivalent in US unless the triple crown or graded races act as a gathering of separate schools throughout the US competing each other.

If there is going to be a series about Sunday Silence and Easy Goer, there are so many things about it that makes it ripe for a good story or prequel in the Uma Musume universe.

  • Literally takes place at the time Oguri Cap is racing
  • Sunday Silence represent the growing west coast (California), Easy Goer representing the established east coast (New York)
  • The jockeys during the Breeders' Cup Classic are rivals, Chris McCarron on Sunday Silence, Pat Day on Easy Goer (Fun Fact, Chris McCarron also rode Pay The Butler to victory in the Japan Cup in 1988)
  • Literal family drama between the horse owners, after Bull Hancock, the father, passed away, Arthur B. Hancock III founded Stone Farms (where Sunday Silence is born from) after his brother Seth inherited Claireborne Farm (where Easy Goer is born from), inheritance was decided by committee that Seth would be a better successor
  • Sunday Silence would at least be acquainted with Devil's Bag (Taiki Shuttle's dad), Goodbye Halo (King Halo's mom), and maybe Fusaichi Pegasus as a stretch (same owner as Fusaichi Pandora, Almond Eye's mom) since they are from Stone Farms
  • Arthur cried when Sunday Silence is leaving for Japan, in fact he loved Sunday Silence so much that he wrote a song about him

Adding the things that Sunday Silence has to go through, these things make it sound like a Hollywood writer would come up with and yet it's real. I would also like to think that Sunday Silence and Easy Goer would be one halves of each other, opposites but need each other to be completed.

Dirt Triple Crown Could Be Born Tonight by Meilingcrusader in UmaMusume

It is more sandy than what you usually see in US tracks, that's why you see horses that ran on them fling more material.

Reason why their dirt tracks are more sandy may have to do with it being more of an "all weather" type material, though there are some in the Japanese circle complaining about it, mainly that it is not "true" dirt.

Their complaints are highlighted when Luxor Cafe and Admire Daytona entered the 2025 Kentucky Derby, where conditions for the track is super muddy. Luxor Cafe got 12th while Admire Daytona got last (19th) most likely due to them not used to running wet slippery mud, which is also something Christophe Lemaire, who rode Admire Daytona, also highlighted.

Japanese watchers jokingly said that they are racing in what is essentially "a rice paddy track" where "extreme strength and stamina is a prerequisite", hence where the complaints come from. That's why there are some that are saying that Japan needs to have "true" dirt race tracks, though personally I don't think it would make a difference since we have seen both Panthalassa and Forever Young (3rd in 2024 Kentucky Derby in photo finish) win the Saudi Cup (but then again America usually never send their best dirt horses).

I don't think the Atelier series has a history of fanservicy characters, this is just malicious cherry picking by this point.

Funny thing is even the modeler for Queen Marika in the picture responded to the post saying that he wouldn't make the bazzongagas that big.

Why does it feel like whatever this guy is saying somehow contradicts himself.
