Hayayakko after racing
Pure white, effective on turf and dirt, and still improving at eight when he won the Argentine Republic Cup. He was also the horse who first broke the ground for white horses in graded company. He retired to a theme park in Tomakomai, where he is, unsurprisingly, hard to miss and very popular.
