Daiwa Scarlet  is a racehorse in the middle of 2000s. She won four G1s and all races she ran were within quinella, second place or greater. She and Vodka are known as two tops of 2007-Classic fillies because they defeated many male horses.


 * Scarlet and Vodka's rivalry is well-known. They fought 5 times. Scarlet won 2 times, 1 time both are lost (Daiwa Scarlet finished earlier), and Vodka won 2 times.
 * At 2008 Tenno Sho Autumn, Daiwa Scarlet lost to Vodka, by only two-centimeter difference. Fans say that match is one of the best bouts for two.
 * At the moment of finish, Fuji TV announcer Aoshima "Bakushin O" Tatsuya shouted "Dai sessen no goal! (It's a super close match and finished!)" probably. But his voice sounds like "Dai sessen DOGOOOON!". Now, "Dai sessen DOGOOOOON!" is treated like a synonymous for super close match in horseracing, It is adopted in Uma Musume game version commentary, too.
 * She won the Arima Kinen for the first time in 37 years as a mare, just like Vodka won the Derby.
 * She is the last winner of JRA Award for Best Horse by Home-bred Sire. From 2008, preferential treatments for maru-chichi were abolished because Japanese-bred sires could rival foreign-bred ones enough. Actually, from 2008 until now, leading sire of Japan has been home-bred, starting with her father, Agnes Tachyon.
 * She bore ten fillies in a row. eleventh foal is the first colt in her children.
 * In 2022, Daiwa Scarlet's granddaughter Scarlet Tale mated with Vodka's son Tanino Frankel. The two's descendant was foaled in January 9, 2023.
