- He gained strength during the summer as a 3-year-old, finishing 2nd in the Kobe Shimbun Hai and 5th in the Kikuka Sho in the autumn.
- In the Nikkei Shinshun Hai, he was the 1st favorite.
Mikki Rocket was passed by Sciacchetra in the homestretch, but he pulled back and the two raced to the finish line.
In the end, Mikki Rocket won by a nose over Sciacchetra.
It was his first Grade race win. - After that, his results were that of a horse that was somewhat less capable of winning a G1 race.
- In the Takarazuka Kinen (2018), he was the 7th favorite.
G1 horses like Satono Diamond, Kiseki, Satono Crown, and Vivlos ran in that race, but they were not in their best form.
The race was tough due to poor track conditions caused by the rainy season, which is unique to this time of year in Japan, and the hot and humid environment.
Mikki Rocket was in the lead by the time he exited the final turn.
With the exception of Mikki Rocket, the other Japanese horses were unable to show their full potential.
Werther, who is active in Hong Kong, was able to catch up, but Mikki Rocket won the race by a neck.
It was his first G1 win.
For Ryuji Wada, his rider, it was his first victory in a JRA G1 race in 17 years, since he was riding for T.M. Opera O.
It was treated like a victory dedicated to T.M. Opera O, who died about a month ago. - He then finished 4th in the 2018 Arima Kinen and was slated to continue active in the following year, but his leg condition deteriorated and he retired.
As a sire
- He is not a promising stallion, his stud fees are low, and his foals have not been very successful.
- Mikki Gorgeous, a foal by him and Mikki Queen, is getting some attention.
It is a dream foal for the owner, Mizuki Noda, who is famous for her horse name, “Mikki”.
