He won by a head.
It was his first grade race win. - Before the Arima Kinen (2015), his jockey, Hayato Yoshida, suffered a cracked patella fracture.
He begged the trainer and owner, saying, “I don’t care if my legs won’t bend, I just want to ride.
He was given permission to ride, and raced in the Arima Kinen with a fractured bone. - In the Arima Kinen (2015), he was 8th favorite.
Gold Ship was 1st favorite and Lovely Day was 2nd favorite.

His pedigree & As a sire
- His dam-sire, Kyowa Alysheba, became a stallion without even winning a G3 race, and he is a very modest stallion with about 30 registered crops in the studbook.
His dam, Heilong Xing, was quite successful in steeplechase.
His sire, Screen Hero, is a close relative of steeplechase champion Maruka Rascal.
He was bred for the purpose of being a steeplechase horse.
//
He was born on a small farm.
In Japan, turf races are more prestigious than dirt and steeplechase races, so the major farms focus on turf races.
For small and medium farms, it is important to earn prize money in dirt and steeplechase races. - Screen Hero started out as a low-cost stallion, but with the success of Gold Actor and Maurice, he has become very expensive as of 2021.
Gold Actor is expected to replace his sire, Screen Hero, as the new stallion with the lowest stud fee and the best value.
Gold Actor’s crops have yet to make their debut as of 2021, but they are said to be sturdy and obedient horses.
