TM Opera O Factoids (1/2)
>Despite his father being very successful (Opera House was a multiple GI winner from the UK), his bloodline was thought to not be suitable for Japanese courses, so TM Opera O’s price was very cheap - only 10 million yen.
>However, he ended up earning more than 1.8 billion yen.
>His RL Nickname: “End of the century (centurial) overlord” (世紀末覇王). He started his legend at the turn of the century (1999) and all of his major victories were in 2000.
>His triple crown year being unsuccessful marked little interest in him, with the year following being a shock to trainers and fans alike.
>TM Opera O remains as the only horse in history to champion at all of the senior classical races in Japan - and he did that in the same year.
>Her in-game ‘theatre kid’ personality and delusional sense of grandeur were contributed from the fact that TM Opera O’s greatest feats were almost like reading an adventure story.
>TM Opera O’s horse girl design borrows a lot of elements from his jockey Ryuji Wada, who rode the horse from his debut to retirement.
>People like to joke that it was TM Opera O who rode Wada, not the actual way around. It was partially true because there were times TM Opera O moved by himself in races and produced a better result (he knew that the human on his back isn’t trustworthy).
>Wada was often mocked by media outlets as an unworthy jockey for such a powerful horse
>Norihiro Yokoyama: “If it was me on TM Opera O’s back, he would be a Triple Crown horse already”.
>At the time, Wada was still very much a rookie jockey; to have so much success with TM Opera O really surprised him and he credits the horse for teaching him how to jockey.
