Real Life
"’Go, go, Turbo!’ 'Let's go, Turbo!' At the third corner, I heard cheers like saying that. Wasshoi, wasshoi. Horseracing fans all shouldered the portable shrine named Twin Turbo. I shouldered him, too. That exaltation was just like a festival. Turbo festival in autumn. It was fun. During that moment, I could forget all of my bad memories. So, that was okay. Although his lead shortened to about three lengths, and he was caught up at the fourth corner to be overtaken easily, I didn't care. While the winner and the second placer competed at the center of the homestrech, Turbo-shishou looked smaller and smaller on the top-left of the TV screen. His figure looked like festival music and cheers fading out in the night of autumn."

- Tokyo Sports note

Twin Turbo is a racehorse in the 1990s. He is a legendary frontrunner such as later Silence Suzuka. Most of his runs were desperate win or lose, second place were just twice.


 * Despite he had not won any G1s, he has high popularity. His racing style enchanted fans before he became a horse girl.
 * This was why he could enter Arima Kinen twice . JRA recommended him for his popularity.
 * He could take nothing but frontrunning, and mid-distance. He was scared of crowd, so he lost his motivation when he was overtaken. And he was not good at starting, so short or mile-distance races were not suited for him.
