 * T M means his owner, Takezono Masatsugu. Opera comes from his father Opera House. O means king in Japanese, same as Sakura Bakushin O or other "O"s.
 * In Japan Studbook rule, periods or any punctures are not allowed. So his crown name "T M" has no periods.
 * Opera O is the first horse that "Oguri Cap rule" was applied and won. Even though the horse is not registered for the Classics in previous year, it can run to pay for additional registration. This rule was added after protests that Oguri couldn't enter the Classics. That is why Opera O is drawn in Cinderella Gray.
