T.M. Opera O your trainee tryly worth her title "The Overlord of the Century's End". Throughout her career, she has won a total of 7 G1, and especially In the year 2000 she won eight graded races, including five G1, with no defeat. To the point that during that year her rivals were not only her fellow Uma, but also the audience, yet the harsh words still couldn't dim the aura of The Overlord. But by 2001 when the beginning of the new era had come the younger competitors were too strong, and she according to cruel sarcasm was too old. So she retired and chose a peaceful and simple life, but will always support and encourage you in your career as a trainer. So you promised her that you yourself would achieve another G1 victory, and that day she smiled so brightly, a radiant smile that you will never forget. One year, then five years, and finally 17 years have passed, and you've finally achieved another G1 victory. But T.M. Opera O passed away last month before you had a chance to tell her...
