Japanese racehorse. Sired by Sunday Silence and foaled by Wind in Her Hair. A bay horse with a small, irregularly-shaped star marking and socks on all but the front left leg.
The first undefeated Japanese Triple Crown winner since Symboli Rudolf and a winner of 7 G1 races. He is also Sunday Silence's successor as Japan's leading sire (2012-2022), with 61 G1-winning progeny and at least a single classics winner in every eligible generation (Japan or Overseas, from 2011 to 2023), from Marcelina (2011 Oka Sho) to Auguste Rodin (2023 Epsom Derby and Irish Derby). He also produced a Triple Tiara and a Triple Crown (Gentildonna and Contrail in 2012 and 2020 respectively.)
Thus, not only he made a "deep impact" on the racetrack, his "ejecta" caused even more damage.

However, due to the alleged controversy arising from the franchise's bastardization of King Kamehameha (which share the same owner, Makoto Kaneko), he and other horse owned by Kaneko are unlikely to officially appear.
So far, seven of his progeny appears in the franchise:
