The Stay Gold Dynasty (part 1)
Stay Gold (1/2)
>Nicknamed “A precious silver and bronze collector”, for finishing in second or third places in many heavy prize races.
>Soccer Boy, the father of Narita Top Road and Hishi Miracle, is Stay Gold’s uncle.
>Both of his parents are ill-tempered horses, this was carried to him and many of his children as well.
>Yasutoshi Ikee, his assistant trainer: “This guy is so ferocious I almost feel that he is a carnivore.”
>Shigeharu Yamamoto, his groom: “He isn’t some monster men can’t handle, he just thinks he is the greatest being in the world and always acts in his own will, own paces.”
>Despite his small size (which gets carried to some of his son such as Dream Journey and Orfevre), he is very tough and energetic. He always had his eyes wide open and went rampage whenever he got a chance. This attitude never changed even after he retired.
>On his first day of training, he showed dominance to humans by standing on two legs for almost twenty times, so the trainers had to give up their training plans.
>Stay Gold started his losing streak after he won the Akanko Tokubetsu on September 6, 1997. The race is an allowance race of under 9 million, which is an equivalent of 2-win class race today.
>The losing streak finally stopped on May 20, 2000 after he won the Meguro Kinen, with 28 races in between.
>He appeared in many heavy prize races at the time. However, when he was being introduced in the paddack, his best achievement was always “winning the Akanko Tokubetsu”, a sharp contrast to many other horses who may already have multiple titles.
>He received the moniker of “The supreme commander of Akan-ko” because of this.
>“Akan” is the name of a lake in Hokkaido, but it also means “hopeless” in Kansai dialect, so Akan-ko can mean “hopeless dude / hopeless kid”.
