Notes[]

  • "Red big flower" means his jockey's cap. Symboli Rudolf was in the third bracket at Kikuka Sho.[Note 1]

Trivia[]

  • Symboli Rudolf is a Japanese Triple Crown Umamusume after winning the Satsuki Shō, Japanese Derby, and Kikuka Shō. She shares this accomplishment with Mr. C.B. and Narita Brian.
  • Despite her focused ambitions and work ethic, Rudolf has a lighter side in her fondness for puns and telling corny jokes. Rudolf's sense of humor is the one aspect about her that Teio doesn't like. The only umamusume who seems to enjoy Rudolf's jokes is Nice Nature.
    • Speaking of Teio, fans also memetically (and frequently) depict Air Groove possessing a similar negative reaction towards Rudolf's humor.
  • Her racing attire is adorned with seven medals, which represent the real-life Rudolf's seven G1 victories.
  • Her office has a giant framed motto that reads: "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere." This is a reference to the legendary British thoroughbred racehorse Eclipse (1764-1789), who won all 18 of his races from 1769 to 1770. Eclipse's descendants span from the United Kingdom all the way to Japan, with Daiwa Scarlet, Gold Ship, Kitasan Black, and Cheval Grand being among the current lineage.
  • In the original 2016 promo video, there was supposedly a romance subplot between Symboli Rudolf and Oguri Cap, which was ultimately scrapped.[2]
    • It was said that the scene almost cost the whole project, as the owners of Symboli Rudolf and Oguri Cap did not like the portayal and almost took back the rights for using both horses' names.
