Real Life?
Fans expect her model is Special Week's groom in his breeding farm, Tina Price. "Though the foal had mothers' loves taken no less than twice, the one who gave him much love as theirs appeared. His first mother was a light-breed horse, the second one was a heavy-breed. the third mother was the species named 'human'. It was a woman from New Zealand, named Tina."

Tina Price is a groom working in Hidaka Taiyo Farm. She started working in the fall of 1995, and was entrusted habituating Campaign Girl's 1995― later Special Week. Since he easily understood everything what Tina teaches, she liked him and took care of him more than any other foals. The representative Onoda warned her many times, but she never changed her attitude.

In May of 1997, Campaign Girl's 1995 moved to the Northern Farm Airport Branch. Tina could not understand and saw him off crying.

"She understood he would go to Training Center for horseracing. However, she could never consent that they entrust other farm his training what Hidaka Taiyo Farm could do, moreover what she had done. Tina cried and implored, but even Onoda couldn't do anything against his trainer and owner's will. 'It is for strengthening this foal.' All he could do was saying so, however, Tina could not agree. On May 20, the foal was taken away from crying Tina by force, was raised onto a truck, and left the Hidaka Taiyo Farm."
