Etario's racing career
Only one JRA win, but he placed in big races again and again, including second in the 2018 Kikuka Sho.
Etario after racing
One win, in a maiden, and a second in a classic: a strange and wonderful record. People loved him for the frustration as much as anything, and none of that changes now he has retired. You can see him at Versailles Resort Farm.
