In September 1996, the company was listed at an auction held at Keeneland, and Junichi Ito (President of Hanzawa) made a bid at the recommendation of Mitsuhiro Ogata, who was accompanying him. After a bidding war with Godolphin from the United Arab Emirates, Hanzawa won the bid for $250,000. In November, the animals were transported to Japan, where they were raised and trained at Northern Farm Airport Ranch (Tomakomai City). On September 13, 1997, he made his debut in the New Horse Race (turf 1800m) at Nakayama Racecourse with jockey Hitoshi Matoba in the saddle. He was the favorite with a 1.5 win margin, and although he was a little behind at the start, he quickly caught on to the lead group and chased 2nd place, breaking out in a straight line and winning for the first time with a 3-length lead over 2nd place. On October 12th, he won the Ivy Stakes (Open) with a time of 1 minute 21.9 seconds, 5 lengths behind second place and 0.2 seconds behind the record time. On November 8th, he won the Keisei Hai 3-Year-Old Stakes (currently Keio Hai 2-Year-Old Stakes) (GII) and was the favorite with a win of 1.1.

On December 6th, he was favored with winning odds of 1.3 times in the Asahi Hai 3-year-old stakes (GⅠ).

This victory was so great that Fuji TV announcer Masaharu Miyake said, “It’s the return of Marzenski!” In January 1998, he was selected as the 1997 JRA Award Best 3-Year-Old Stallion. Despite being a 3-year-old horse, he received 10 votes in the Horse of the Year voting. Training resumed, but his gait became irregular. On March 15th, it was discovered that he had fractured the third metacarpal in his right hind leg. He has decided to give up on running in the NHK Mile Cup (GⅠ). On August 22nd, he returned to the Miho Training Center. The aim was to return to Mainichi Crown (GII), but since El Condor Passer was also scheduled to run, Matoba was forced to make a choice. Since Grass Wonder was not in perfect condition, Ogata’s trainer suggested that he ride El Condor Passer, but he decided to ride Grass Wonder (El Condor Passer was subsequently ridden by Masayoshi Ebina until his retirement). On October 11th, I ran for the crown every day. Although supported by the 2nd favorite, she lost to Silence Suzuka who came in 5th place. On November 7th, Argentine Republic Cup (GII) was supported by the most popular team, but lost to Yusei’s top-ranked 6th place. Participation in the Japan Cup (GⅠ) was avoided. On December 27th, he ran in the Arima Kinen (G1) as the 4th favorite. His opponents were Air Groove, last year’s representative horse of the year, Silk Justice, the Arima Kinen horse from the previous year, Mejiro Bright, who won the Tenno Sho (spring) that year, and Seiun Sky, who won the Satsuki Sho and Kikuka Sho in the same age group. In the race, he waited in the middle stage, gradually gained ground from the middle of the third corner, and broke away on the final straight to beat second-placed Mejirobright by two lengths and win an easy victory. It was the first time in history that a foreign-bred horse won the Arima Kinen. He was scheduled to start at the Nakayama Kinen (GII) on March 14, 1999, but was canceled due to muscle pain in his right shoulder.

Although it was the most popular, it lost to Air Jihad, who had beaten it in the previous race, and came in second. On July 11th, he ran in the Takarazuka Kinen.

Special week and popularity are Hakunaka. Glass Wonder is the most popular by a narrow margin. Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi’s response was good, so it was decided to start earlier than planned, and it seemed that Special Week, who had thoroughly marked Grass Wonder, was caught in front of the goal. Yutaka Take on the special week saddle also had a winning run, but 4cm Grass Wonder came first in the photo finish. He became the second horse in history to win three consecutive Grand Prix races (three consecutive wins) and the sixth horse in history to win both GPs in the same year. However, Grass Wonder was in extremely poor condition and his gait was unsteady. Yoshiaki Onishi, who had been the stable attendant since his debut, retired and Riki Sasaki, who was 24 years old at the time, was put in charge. In January 2000, at the 1999 JRA Awards, there was a tie between Grass Wonder, Special Week, and El Condor Passer in terms of the number of votes in the Horse of the Year and Best Stallion over 5 years old category, and as a result of the selection committee’s discussion, El Condor Passer was selected. Awarded. Special awards were given to Glass Wonder and Special Week. He will continue his career with the goal of winning the Emperor’s Sho, which opens the door to foreign-bred horses. It started on March 26th with the Nikkei Prize (GII). He was considered the most popular, but the horse weighed only 530kg, so it wasn’t narrowed down. In the race, he didn’t do well and lost to Leo Ryuhou who came in 6th place. His participation in the Tenno Sho (spring) race has been canceled and adjustments will be made with the Takarazuka Kinen as his goal. On May 14th, he entered the Keio Hai Spring Cup as the number one favorite, but got off to a slow start and lost to Stinger, who finished 9th. Matoba will be removed from Grass Wonder, and Masayoshi Ebina will ride him at Takarazuka Kinen. On June 25th, he entered the Takarazuka Kinen as the second favorite. He was doing well until the third corner, but he stalled and lost to T.M. Opera O in 6th place. After the race, Ebina dismounts. They were carried away by horse-drawn cart. He was diagnosed with a left third metacarpal fracture. Due to his serious injuries, he remained at Hanshin Racecourse for two weeks for observation. On July 23rd, he was transported to Northern Farm Airport Ranch for full-scale treatment. Although his condition was life-threatening, his symptoms improved. On December 24th, a retirement ceremony was held at Nakayama Racecourse. #Glass Wonder #Arima Kinen #Race Reenactment #Special Week #Golden Generation #Uma Musume #Horse Racing #cygames #umamusume #amv
