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.
