SARGA.CO – Behind the sweet and cheerful persona of Curren Chan in Uma Musume lies the true story of an extraordinary racehorse. Born in Japan on March 31, 2007, this striking gray mare combined beauty with lethal speed, earning her a reputation as one of the finest sprinters of her era.
Curren Chan was no ordinary horse. She came from a powerful pedigree: her sire, Kurofune, was an American-bred who excelled on both turf and dirt, while her dam, Spring Ticket, carried the bloodline of Tony Bin, the legendary Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner. With such heritage, it was no surprise that Curren Chan was destined for greatness.
A Brilliant Career and the Deadly “Senkou” Strategy
Racing under Shadai Farm and trained by Takayuki Yasuda, Curren Chan specialized in sprinting — mastering short distances with explosive acceleration. Partnered with her trusted jockey Kenichi Ikezoe, she was known for her senkou/stalker style: trailing the frontrunners before striking at the perfect moment.
This tactical approach is faithfully reflected in Uma Musume, where her “Pace Chaser” strategy is rated an impressive A.
Curren Chan’s Iconic Moments
Her crowning glory came in 2012, when she defeated her stablemate and future sprint legend Lord Kanaloa in the Takamatsunomiya Kinen (G1).
That victory cemented her title as the Sprint Queen, standing tall even against the horse who would later be hailed as Japan’s Sprint King.
She went on to earn prestigious honors such as: Best Sprinter or Miler (JRA, 2011), Best Older Filly or Mare (JRA, 2012)
Curren Chan eventually retired after competing in the Hong Kong Sprint (G1) and transitioned into her second career as a broodmare.
A Legacy That Lives On
In retirement, Curren Chan became a broodmare and produced five foals. Among them, the most notable is Curren Moe — the result of her mating with none other than her former rival, Lord Kanaloa. A storyline that feels straight out of a racing drama!
In the game and anime, Curren Chan is portrayed as an energetic, girly, and fashionable character — mirroring her stylish and swift racing style. But beneath her charm lies the fighting spirit and tenacity that defined her real-life counterpart.
Curren Chan is more than just a racehorse; she represents speed, beauty, and strength. Even in retirement, her name continues to shine in Japanese racing history — and in the hearts of Uma Musume fans worldwide.
