Fine Motion (ファインモーション, Hepburn: Fain Mōshon, foaled 27 January 1999) is an Irish-bred, Japanese-trained Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Shūka Sho and the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup in 2002. She was also awarded with JRA Best Three-Year-Old Filly in the same year. With a total of 15 starts and 8 wins from those races, she earned 494,518,000 JPY in total before retiring from racing.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

Fine Motion is a bay horse foaled on January 27, 1999, by Cocotte, a daughter of Troy. She was sired by Danehill, an inductee of Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2015 and a leading sire in many countries multiple times.[3][4] Her half brother, Pilsudski, was the winner of the 1996 Breeders' Cup Turf as well as the 1997 Japan Cup.[5]

Breeding career

[edit]

She retired to become a broodmare but failed to conceive as she has a chromosomal abnormality, making her infertile.[8]

[edit]

An anthropomorphized version of the horse appears in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, voiced by Chinami Hashimoto.[9] She is depicted as a naïve Irish exchange student and rumored descendant of royalty that immigrated to Ireland. She has ramen cravings that extend into irresponsible spending, and willingly participates in Air Shakur's data collection experiments as a test subject. In October 2025, a significant amount of dialogue in the mobile game was rewritten to clarify that she is not Irish royalty, likely owing to the game's global launch in June earlier that year and its growing popularity outside of Japan, as well as political tensions between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland concerning royalty and the latter country's status as a republic.[10]
