The last time I saw this horse was at Japan Cup in2017.

It was natural for him that his win odds became some tens to hundreds. Although he didn't win, he was one of familiar horses who ofren run in Grade 1 races. I know that he won the Japan Derby in Tokyo, which can only be entered once in a lifetime. It was his peak and then he never made a notable achievement.I always betted him as wishing that he would make  another flower bloom in the race, but he betrayed me completely. 

But I could never hate this horse. No matter how bad the results were, it was a horse that once blossomed. I wonder whether I would ever make a flower bloom once. In this world where I don't know if I can make flowers bloom, I carved a racehorse thinking that this would be my first and last animal sculpture. 

The name of the horse is "one and only".
