contrail (racehorse)

Japanese racehorse. Sired by Deep Impact and foaled by Rhodochrosite. He became famous as the 8th recipient of the Japanese Triple Crown in 2020. Him and Deep Impact are the only pair of father and son to have both won a Triple Crown (and coincidentally, both were also undefeated).

His trademark is his telephone receiver-shaped star marking, even resembling most emoji renditions (📞) as it is skewed with the top pointing to the upper-left.

In the context of Umamusume, he is associated with Daring Tact and Almond Eye as the third member of the 2020 Japan Cup triple crown trio. In fact, he shines by his absence due to his main jockey being the implied trainer of Team Ascella, the focus team of the second main story of the game. Fan designs of him as an umamusume almost unanimously portray him as a pilot due to his name, his association with telephones being secondary. At the very least, a stand-in was used in the cutscene portraying the 2020 Japan Cup.
