Super Thoroughbred is a merchandise series released by A&M that features 'Japanese race horses' as its theme.
The series mainly consists of cute plushies based on popular racehorses that were once active in Japanese horse racing. It also replicates small details familiar to fans, such as the numbers and face masks that the racehorses used to wear.
The size is relatively large and comfortable to hug. Especially, the mane is fluffy and feels good to touch, attracting not only fans from the past but also those who have recently become interested in horse racing.

Super Thoroughbred gained attention as a series that people wanted because of the huge popularity of Uma Musume Pretty Derby in Japan!

Similarly to Super Thoroughbred, due to the huge success of Uma Musume Pretty Derby, a media mix project in Japan that also features real racehorses as models (anthropomorphized), fans who enjoy characters in Uma Musume Pretty Derby have also started to take notice of Super Thoroughbred.

Yes, for example, there's a character in Uma Musume Pretty Derby based on the racehorse Goldship.

Super Thoroughbred also takes racehorses as its motif, so there is a Goldship plushie available! Of course, Goldship had an excellent record and was a popular racehorse, so it receives passionate support even from people who are not familiar with Uma Musume Pretty Derby.
