Gemini King after racing
A winner of a graded jumps race chose as his next job leading the runners out onto the track. He made his debut as a lead horse at Kyoto Racecourse in 2025 and is introduced there as a friendly sort with a white marking on his belly. Drawing on the experience of clearing big fences, he now guides young runners calmly. You can see him during the parade onto the track on Kyoto race days.
