Japanese Race Horse Famous For Losing Gains Fame Via Mobile Game

Haru Urara, a retired Japanese race horse known for never winning a race, has seen a resurgence in popularity due to a mobile game. The 29-year-old mare, who retired in 2004, inspired a character in the game Uma Musume Pretty Derby, which launched June 26. Haru Urara, who famously wore a Hello Kitty mask and lost all 113 of her races, became a national icon during her career. The mobile game features anime-style characters with horse features participating in track races. Fans admire Haru Urara's perseverance, with the character in the game always maintaining a positive attitude despite losses. Fans can visit Haru Urara at Martha Farm by scheduling visits through the farm's website. (Upi)
