i genuinely don't mean to detract from Haru Urara's story but,
the funny/sad thing is that the opposite is unwanted and in some cases explicitly not allowed to happen

>the longest WINrate was by Camarero, a Puerto Rican horse who won 56 consecutive races between April 1953 and August 1955
>as per Puerto Rican racetrack regulation during Camarero's streak, prohibitive favorites are not allowed to be wagered on, which meant that for most of Camarero's winning streak no on-track bets were taken
gambling is such that if the house can't win, you're not allowed to either

i point this out because of how long ago it happened, how, to my knowledge, only 3 horses have even passed half of that
>Winx - May 2015 to April 2019 - 33 consecutive wins
>Condado - 1936-1943 - 43 consecutive wins
>Cofresi - unknown dates - 49 consecutive wins
(cofresi is hard to look up, somewhere near Condado's dates, because it was named after a famous pirate)

whereas on the other end, with Haru Urara
>Haru Urara's losing betting tickets began to be used as o-mamori (good luck charms), particularly for protection against traffic accidents
and
>So many people bet on the horse nationwide that she ended up favored to win, with 1.8-to-1 odds despite never having won
the track Haru raced at, Kochi Racetrack, was so fucked financially they were on the verge of shutting down but during the "Haru Urara Boom," massive crowds (5,000-8,000 people) came to watch her lose her 100th and 101st races, and the income generated from these attendance spikes kept Kōchi afloat and remains open today

so, in a gambling industry, predictable losers are far and above more valuable than predictable winners
they maintain the illusion of hope while guaranteeing the house edge
