SINGAPORE: Retired Japanese racehorse Haru Urara has seen an unexpected surge in popularity after the global launch of a mobile game.
The 29-year-old mare, whose name means “glorious spring”, first found mainstream popularity in Japan in 2003, when local media reported that she had clocked her 80th consecutive loss since her debut in 1998.
