	'''{{PAGENAME}}''' ~~(Japanese: '''タマモクロス''', May 23, 1984 - April 10, 2003)~~ was a Japanese racehorse that was active from 1987 to 1988. Prior to his career, people believed that gray horses couldn't run fast. His appearance broke this superstition by winning three G1 races in a row, including both 1988 Tenno Sho races and the Takarazuka Kinen. He was also the first horse to have won both Tenno Sho races in the same year, after the rule where Tenno Sho winners cannot participate in another Tenno Sho in the same year was abolished in 1981.
