Verxina

"I will defeat all strong challengers who come my way. After all, I am the only one worthy of being queen!"

- Verxina

Verxina (ヴィルシーナ, Virushiina) is a character in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.

Personality
An iron-willed young lady, Verxina proudly believes that she deserves the title of queen of all queens. The oldest of three sisters, she strives to be a good role model for her two younger siblings, Cheval Grand and Vivlos. As she comes from a wealthy family, she is very well-educated and has many talents.

Her only weakness, however, is that she believes the number 2 is a cursed number and works hard in order to avoid being second place to anyone.

Real Life
"By no means For one year she had shed tears. To clear up her regrets, by no means could she lose here. For one year she had forgotten joy. To take back those glitters, by no means did she want to lose."

Verxina is a racehorse in the 2010s. She won the Victoria Mile twice in a row for the first time, giving her owner the first G1 title. She is also known as a "silver collector", such as three-time second places at all Triple Tiara races.

Name Origin

 * Vershina (Вершина) ― ”Summit” in Russian.

Her owner Kazuhiro Sasaki once used a crown name "Majin", however, his wife Kanako Enomoto didn't like that. Kanako found strong horses have "V" in their names, so she recommended him doing so.

At birth
Her mother Halwa Sweet was famous mare who was born without a tail. Kazuhiro Sasaki, a former baseball player in Yokohama Baystars and Seattle Mariners is one of great fans of her. He purchased all of her foals. Verxina is the second foal.

After retirement




"'Last year She lost all Triple Tiara races, such as the Oka Sho, the Oaks, and the Shuka Sho, to Gentildonna in second. Also at the following Queen Elizabeth II Cup, she couldn't reach Rainbow Daria by neck, and she got four silver medals at four G1s in a row. Since Sasaki's birthday is February 22 and his uniform number was 22, he once said 'my horse is always second' masochistically. However, his horse finally got the first prize.'
 * Her trainer Yasuo Tomomichi says Verxina's character is like a hostess of an obanzai restaurant in Kagurazaka.
 * At three, she lost five successive grade races in second. Sasaki often sighed over that.
