Hey folks, it’s Leaflit! In today’s video, I’m exploring the incredible story of Haru Urara, the Japanese mare who never won a single race—yet became a symbol of perseverance and saved Kochi Racecourse. We'll revisit her legendary 0-for-113 record on the real track and see how her “Haru Urara Boom” led to packed grandstands, millions in bets, and even national attention from Prime Minister Koizumi!

Then, I’ll compare her real-life journey to her animated persona in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby—the pink-haired Uma Musume who mirrors that same fighting spirit, quirky charm, and emotional resilience. We’ll break down the accuracy of her personality, look, and story arcs, and I’ll highlight what the anime adapts perfectly—and where it adds creative flair. Whether you're into horse racing, anime, or inspiring true stories, this deep dive is for you!

Real Haru Urara ran 113 races with zero wins, yet captivated Japan during her massive “Haru Urara Boom” in 2003—filling Kochi’s stands and even inspiring lucky charms out of losing tickets.

She raced often, hated saddles, but raced with heart—embodying the Japanese spirit of ganbatte (“don’t give up”) despite constant defeat.

Her fame was so immense that a top jockey, Yutaka Take, rode her in front of a packed 13,000-person crowd—yet she still lost, sending the message that effort shines brighter than victory.

The farm still cares for her in retirement, with fans visiting Martha Farm—and even the game’s popularity prompted them to confirm she’s “healthy and energetic,” responding to her newfound anime fame.
