SARGA.CO – In the world of Japanese horse racing, the name Gran Alegria is far more than a line on a winner’s list. She is a living legend, a strong-willed mare who carried the royal blood of Triple Crown champion Deep Impact, and proved herself worthy of the throne in both Sprint and Mile racing.
Gran Alegria was born on January 24, 2016, the product of a noble pedigree—sired by Deep Impact and out of Tapitsfly. Expectations were high from the very beginning. Raised at Northern Farm, she was trained by Kazuo Fujisawa and partnered with elite jockey Christophe Lemaire.
Known for her racing versatility, Gran Alegria could adapt to multiple styles—running as a pace-setter (Senkou/Stalker) or as a late closer (Sashi/Closer) depending on the situation. This flexibility now translates into the game, where she is equipped with Rank “A” abilities in both Pace Chaser and Late Surger strategies.
Though her career was relatively short, her record speaks volumes: Oka Sho (2019), Yasuda Kinen (2020), Sprinters Stakes (2020), Mile Championship (2020 & 2021), and Victoria Mile (2021).
Her most iconic moment came in the 2020 Yasuda Kinen, where she stunned the racing world by defeating Almond Eye, the Triple Tiara champion and heavy favorite. It was a clash of two queens—a duel that silenced the crowd and crowned Gran Alegria as the strongest mare in Japan at the time.
Impressive Career Record
Over 15 career starts, Gran Alegria recorded:
With total earnings of more than ¥1.073 billion (over 100 billion rupiah), she stands among the most successful mares in racing history.
Given her remarkable legacy, it comes as no surprise that Gran Alegria now joins the roster of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. Fans and players alike are celebrating her arrival, as she brings not only fighting spirit but also memories of her epic duel with Almond Eye.
Gran Alegria’s visual in the game Uma Musume portrays a calm yet sharp character, reflecting her real racing style—tactical, patient in waiting for the right moment, and then bursting with explosive speed.
A Legacy That Continues
Since her retirement in December 2021, Gran Alegria has taken on a new role as a broodmare. Her offspring are already beginning to attract attention, including Gran Maestro, who is being closely watched as a potential heir to her legacy on the track.
The Princess Who Carved Her Own Destiny
Gran Alegria was never just the daughter of Deep Impact. She proved that royal bloodlines are not enough—that true victory requires hard work, strategy, and determination.
Now, through Uma Musume, her story lives on—not just as a legend on the racetrack, but as an inspiration on the screens of fans around the world.
