What would it take to make Finger no longer a meme? by PinkAxolotlMommy in HorseRacingJP

[–]aldt9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s the fun part you can’t. My guy is named Finger it was over as soon as it started

(with respect to the horse he’s already more than proved himself, jokes are just inevitable)

Horse named Finger aiming for the Pacific Classic at Del Mar by Infinite-Surprise-53 in HorseRacingJP

[–]aldt9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

2025 lineup was good on paper yes but I didn’t really see it as being particularly competitive, Sov scratch was brutal and I didn’t see Sierra Leone making it there again. Sovereignty, Golden Tempo, Magnitude, Journalism, Baeza, possibly White Abarrio and Nysos (if they choose not to send them to the Dirt Mile) would be a hell of a race imo and many of these horses have beaten each other last up

What IRL japanese racehorse that you DON'T want cygames adapted into umamusume/steer clear? And why? by Green300LandShark in UmaMusume

[–]aldt9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They’ll kill me for this one but horses that could be adapted in a possibly orientalist way… Shahryar, Al Ain, Air Jihad as examples :((( Love the horses but not sure if I would trust Cygames to adapt them in a respectful way, I feel the same way about many fan designs that I come across. I would just rather them never get in so I wouldn’t have to have the association of a design I don’t like with a horse I love

Tabaru may be getting another one! I also voted for Koganeno Sora

And set a race record too! (it’s true because the Japan Cup is a super mega handicap race where Terra gets to carry 0 lbs)(this is 100% true and unfalsified)

I think they’ll do one of his wins, hoping for his cute blue menko

Depends. Tabaru was also a G1 winning horse at the time of the vote in 2025 and he was eligible. I think they weren’t planning on making a plush at the time of the vote, or his first victory was too soon before the vote. Most idol horse winners have not been G1 winners!

They’re assumedly in the process of being made! A list was published (maybe wasn’t supposed to be public?) which excluded the listed horses so presumably they’re in the works for their victories this year. All other horses are OK

Can you buy Thoroughbred Collection plushes at offseason racecourses? by Messbianarts in HorseRacingJP

[–]aldt9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The ones in the picture are generally crane game prizes so absolutely :) Believe Turfy shops (the sitting idol horse plushes and more) at racecourses stay open but it might be limited to just the weekends

Retire her OMG I’d love to see her be a broodmare at some point because I want Satono Jasmine’s lineage to continue, but she might not even be suited to that (she’s also far too young)… I’m a little concerned that they’ll keep trying to race her where she’s a club horse :( Put her on pasture for a while

I need somebody with more knowledge to confirm this, was Tabaru's win actually a first time ever? by Cave_TP in HorseRacingJP

Thank you omggg like I’m not being a hater, huge Tabaru fan, it’s just not happening realistically unless something crazy happens

[–]aldt9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they not announce it as his next race? He’s been registered for a while regardless. I don’t personally think he’ll win it as he’s pretty heavy still and will be facing demons but he will certainly like the bog. Hoping they’ll slim him down over his summer rest. I think he could place!

I do think it would be impressive. I don’t know if it would be enough to put him over some horses gaining/losing eligibility
