	Recovered from an injury to his right shoulder, Symboli Rudolf went into the autumn season fully refreshed, winning the St Lite Kinen with a record time. From there, he took on the Kikuka Sho, the last of the Triple Crown races. He kept to the middle pack, and while the racers slightly ahead of him formed a wall on the third corner, Rudolf broke out on the final stretch and passed Gold Way to win by 3/4 of a length. He became the first ever horse in JRA racing history to win the Classic Triple Crown while undefeated, as well as the first Classic Triple Crown winner after the introduction of the grading system. At the awards ceremony, Okabe held up three fingers. To date, four other horses have won the Triple Crown, but no others have come from the Kanto region.

	The 4th Japan Cup would be the first time two Triple Crown winners would compete against each other, as [[IRL:Mr. C.B.\|Mr. C.B.]] had won it the year before. However, Symboli Rudolf was widely reported to be in bad shape, for example having diarrhea, and his younger age compared to the rest of the field as well as the 1-week gap from his previous race led to him being the number-four favorite, the lowest he would ever be in his career. The first favorite was Mr. C.B., who had just come off a record-breaking win at the autumn Tenno Sho as an end closer. The second favorite was Bedtime, a British horse who was said to be G1-class despite never being able to run in a G1 race due to being a gelding; the third favorite was the American turf-racer Majesty's Prince, said to be the second coming of John Henry. However, it was Takarazuka Kinen winner [[IRL:Katsuragi Ace\|Katsuragi Ace]], who flew under the radar at number-ten favorite, who would run away from the victory, becoming the first Japanese horse to win the Japan Cup. Symboli Rudolf maintained a good position throughout the race, and despite pulling off a better result than he ever had in his life, still came in 3rd place to Bedtime, bringing an end to his 8-win streak.

	=== Return to Form ===		==== Return to Form ====
	Coming off of his first loss, Symboli Rudolf would then compete against Mr. C.B. and Katsuragi Ace in the Arima Kinen. While Rudolf was only second-place in the fan vote to Mr. C.B., he was the favorite to win, with 1.7 odds. Okabe devoted himself to learning more about Katsuragi Ace after the upset. Katsuragi Ace attempted to replicate his result in the Japan Cup, running far out in front, while Rudolf maintained 2nd the entire time. On the final stretch, though, they traded places, Rudolf beating Katsuragi Ace by two lengths and a record time. Symboli Rudolf became the first JRA horse in history to earn four crowns in his four-year-old season. At the awards ceremony, Okabe held up four fingers. With a record that year of 6 wins and 1 third-place finish, Symboli Rudolf was chosen as the JRA's Horse of the Year.
