Cosmo Bulk after racing

The original star of regional racing, and the horse who saved Hokkaido racing when it was on the brink. He took on the JRA classics and then the world while still based on the regional circuit, and won a G1 in Singapore: the legend has not faded. At 25 he is well, back where he was born at Big Red Farm, and Monbetsu runs a race named after him every year.
