Mejiro Bright Factoids
>His baby name is “健樹” (healthy tree). The pronunciation of this name was not recorded.
>A very “my pace” type horse. He was very late-responding and would not accelerate at his jockey’s command. He also failed the gate test multiple times because of his slow reaction.
>His maiden race was very low-level and there were barely any contender horses. Although Bright won the race, fans from the stands heckled things like, “Are you walking?!”
>The average time for winning a 1800m race at the time was about 1:50, but Mejiro Bright won his maiden race with 2:01.6, eleven seconds slower than average.
>Mejiro Bright was also the least popular horse in that race.
>At the time, Mejiro Bright’s trainer Kuniichi Asami was about to retire, so he (half-jokingly) introduced the horse to his trainer friend Shuji Ito. Ito said: “I don’t want a horse that needs two minutes to finish a mile race.”
>When he is around humans, he is usually very tame, calm, and almost feels like he is sleeping peacefully. The anime and game largely depicts him in this fashion.
>But when he is around other horses, Bright would Rampage. A less explored aspect in the world of Uma Musume.
>He went absolutely insane during the gate entrance of 1998 Takarazuka Kinen, terrifying Mejiro Dober who was just beside him. Dober raced off in fear.
>Stay Gold, also present, ignored the entire incident like nothing was happening at all.
>His distaste for other horses didn’t stop when he retired. In his retirement farm, he also bit Tikkanen’s butt multiple times.
>As noted in a prior post, he had a very bad relationship with Tamamo Cross, who lived with him on the same farm.
>IRL Mejiro Bright had braids in his mane, which is why horse girl Bright also has them. Her loose hair is reminiscent of his maternal grandfather, Maruzensky.
