>Just like Agnes Tachyon, Fuji Kiseki was known as a “phantasmic Triple Crown winner” or “phantom Derby horse”: he was undefeated in all of his starts but retired due to a bowed tendon, which is an especially rare coincidence since both of them are Sunday Silence children.
>He shared the same main jockey, trainer, groom, and owner with Jungle Pocket, and the team finally saw hopes of winning a Derby to resolve Fuji Kiseki’s regret. The efforts did pay off.
>In horse racing circles, it’s joked that Jungle Pocket is actually his son.
>Akin to Manhattan Café, Fuji Kiseki was said to be a 'doppelganger' for Sunday Silence.
Genuinely crazy how Fuji Kiseki not only fit into the themes of the film from a narrative perspective, but had points of RL connection to all three of it's main characters.
