Rice Shower Factoids (2/2)
>When the training was complete and the horse appeared for his race against McQueen, fans in attendance, commentators and Matoba himself were imposed upon by it's awesome presence.
>"What a beast, an incredible creature. When you approach him you can almost see fire bursting out from it. I am a bit terrified, like what I am about to ride is not a horse, but something superior. If I did not please him I probably would get a finger or toe bitten off.” - Matoba
>McQueen, like in the anime, seemed afraid to enter the starting gate. It's possible it felt Shower's immense will to win. Or maybe it was hungry or something.
>After it's win, there wasn't positive reception like in the show. Instead fans were only more angry about Shower 'stealing' from McQueen.
>"All racing horses (and jockeys) were desperately aiming for wins. No one should be called a heel for that.” - Matoba
>Not long after this incredible victory however, tragedy struck
>Rice Shower was initially not going to run in the Takarazuka Kinen at first— However, his owner wanted to boost his value as a sire and in order for that, his horse needed to win a mid-distance race. Therefore, he chose the Takarazuka Kinen as Rice Shower’s retirement race.
>During the race Rice would collapse, suffering a double injury to it's front legs. A tent was brought out for the sake of privacy and Shower was euthanized.
>Reception toward Rice Shower had very slowly begun to swing out of the unfair hatred aimed toward it, with it's demise causing a total shift.
>Remembered today with these words from the JRA commercials, spoken as well in the anime by Bourbon.
>“You are not a heel, you are a hero.”
