SARGA.CO – In the world of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, the character Oguri Cap is known as a silver-haired girl with a big appetite, a fierce competitive spirit, and blazing speed. But did you know? Oguri Cap is not just a fictional character—she is the representation of a legendary Japanese racehorse that shook the racing world in the late 1980s.
Oguri Cap was a gray stallion born in 1985 in Hokkaido, Japan. He earned fame as an extraordinary horse who could secure victories even when underestimated as the underdog. His nickname in Japanese horse racing was the “Silver Monster,” a tribute to both his striking gray coat and his sheer power.
Though he came from a less prestigious background compared to Tokyo and Kyoto’s elite bloodlines, Oguri Cap proved that origins are no barrier to becoming a legend.
Oguri Cap’s Records and Achievements
Oguri Cap enjoyed a dazzling career, with 32 starts and 22 wins, many in high-profile races. Some of his most notable achievements include:
What makes him unforgettable is his dramatic Arima Kinen victory in 1990. Racing through a severe injury, Oguri Cap’s triumph brought the stadium to tears. This emotional moment was later adapted into Uma Musume with equal intensity.
Oguri Cap in Uma Musume: Iconic and Full of Character
In the Uma Musume game and anime, Oguri Cap is portrayed as a cool, quiet girl, laser-focused when racing. One signature trait stands out—her love for food. She’s always shown eating a lot, a playful nod to Oguri Cap’s incredible stamina in real life.
Another fun fact: Oguri Cap is a fan favorite. Often depicted as a strong rival to Tokai Teio and Special Week—two other racing legends—she has become an icon in her own right within the franchise.
The Legacy of Oguri Cap: More Than Just a Racehorse
Oguri Cap retired in 1991 and lived out his days as a stud until his passing in 2010. He was laid to rest at a farm in Hokkaido, where fans of both Uma Musume and horse racing still visit his grave to this day.
He left behind not only a record of victories but also a story of grit, perseverance, and how a “regional” horse could conquer the national racing stage.
Oguri Cap proved that true legends never die. Today, he lives on through Uma Musume, reaching a new generation who may never have seen him race but can still feel his unyielding spirit.
So, the next time you pick Oguri Cap in the game or watch her in the anime, remember: behind that cool character was a real horse who once ran with all his heart—and won.
