@minsuma.cl: Did you know one of the most emotional stories in Japanese horse racing belongs to this legend? Born in 1995, Special Week wasn’t just a fan favorite—he became a towering figure in turf history. 💔 A Heartbreaking Beginning His journey started with tragedy. His mother, Campaign Girl, passed away shortly after giving birth. He was raised by a draft mare and hand-fed by farm staff, which forged an unusually strong bond between him and his human caregivers. 🏆 Rise to Glory Guided by legendary jockey Yutaka Take, Special Week showed pure heart on the track: 🥇 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby, 1998): His defining moment, dominating the field to win by an incredible 5 lengths. 🥇 Tenno Sho (Spring & Autumn, 1999): Accomplished the rare and prestigious double-sweep in a single year. 🥇 Japan Cup (1999): Proved his greatness on the world stage by defeating top international contenders. ⭐ Career Stats: 🏁 Starts: 17 🥇 Wins: 10 (4 Grade 1 titles) 🥈 2nd Place: 4 🥉 3rd Place: 2 Known for his fierce rivalries with icons like El Condor Pasa and Grass Wonder, Special Week retired a national hero. He continued his legacy as a successful sire (broodmare sire to champions like Epiphaneia) and captured a whole new generation of fans as the main protagonist in Uma Musume Pretty Derby! #uma #umamusumeprettyderby #umamusume #umamusumechile #umamusumecosplay
