Farewell, Haiseiko.

Farewell, Haiseiko.

I'll forget him.
Haiseiko was nothing but a few betting tickets.
Haiseiko was nothing but a memory of just one race.
Haiseiko was nothing but a drama series for three years.
Haiseiko was nothing but a substitution for those vain days.

Nevertheless, even though I try to forget him,
closing my eyes, I can see that race.
I can hear the sound of cheers in those days.

Shuji Terayama

Haiseiko was a Japanese racehorse that was active from 1972 to 1974. Nicknamed as "The Monster of Local Racing", Haiseiko was a local horse who created the first horse racing boom in Japan after entering the national races. He was a fan favorite around his time in most of his races.

Retirement and Death

After retirement, Haiseiko stood stud at Meiwa Farm in Hokkaido. One of his most notable offspring was Katsurano Haiseko, who had triumphed the 1979 Japanese Derby, the race that his father could not win.

Because of his prominence in causing the first horse racing boom, his popularity never faded even after retirement, fans would constantly flock to Meiwa Farm to visit him, with tour buses regularly arriving.

Several years later after his retirement, Oguri Cap would bring forth the second horse racing boom as a regionals racer transferred to the centrals, just like Haiseiko used to be.

Haiseiko retired from stud duties on 1997 and lived his final years until 4th May, 2000, where he died of a heart failure. After his death, the NAR renamed the Seiun Sho, the last race Haiseiko won in the regionals before transferring to the centrals, into Haiseiko Kinen in honor of him.
