Tokai Teio Factoids
>Name Origin: Tokai (clan name)+Teio (帝王) means ‘monarch’, deriving from Symboli Rudolf’s nickname, emperor (皇帝;Ryotei)
>Teio mimics Rudolf’s act of holding her fingers up to signal how many crowns she wins, because Teio’s jockey Takayuki Yasuda mimicked Okabe Yukio’s actions for Rudolf.
>She can perform a dance move known as the Teio Step. The IRL Teio spontaneously did this move prior to the Arima Kinen.
>The horse was also known for having very flexible joints, giving it incredible dexterity at a cost of being easy to injury.
>Teio once jumped over the farm fence (about 150cm in height) at 2-years-old. He did not run away though.
>Teio’s 1992 Japan Cup win was not adapted in the anime, but it was considered his best performance
>In this race, Teio broke the Japan Cup record on heavy track. The record remains today, 4.2 seconds faster than Rudolf under the same conditions.
>Teio also became the next Japanese horse to win the Japan Cup after his father Symboli Rudolf.
>Teio wasn’t planning to retire after his Arima Kinen victory, but was forced to by injury.
>Teio is considered a 'handsome horse' from a human perspective, but not so much to mares.
>Tokai Teio loves apples, and he thinks everyone who gives him an apple is a good person.
>Tokai Teio can tell who’s coming by just listening to the footsteps of those people, and he would rampage when hearing the footsteps of vets (according to the stable workers, Tokai Teio was already rampaging in his stable when the vet was still 30m away).
>This was probably inherited, since Symboli Rudolf also rampages whenever he sees a vet too.
>For a short period of time, Teio and McQueen stayed in the same retirement stable.
>Teio would act like a spoiled brat if he didn't get to return to the stable from the grazing ranch first.
>Tokai Teio's habitude for jumping the fence continued in later life, though he always found his way back home.
