Bamboo Memory was a Japanese racehorse that was active from 1987 to 1991.

Name Origin

The crown name "Bamboo" originates from his owner Shinichi Takeda and Bamboo Farm, and is believed to derive from the first kanji of Takeda's surname, 竹 (take), meaning "bamboo". "Memory" was added simply to round out the horse's name and give it a recognizable identity, carrying on the nostalgic and enduring legacy associated with the stable's runners.

Retirement and Death

Bamboo Memory passed away from old age on August 7th, 2014. He had lived to be 29 years old.
