Fujino O: Grand National Finisher 1966 Fujino O, a legendary jumper of the century. He was the first Japanese horse to run in and finish the Grand National. Furthermore, he won a race in France afterwards. He was the first Japanese horse to win a European race. That horse is Fujino O. The greatness of Fujino O is not only during his active career, but also after he finished his active life, including overseas expeditions. He was used as a stallion at his birthplace's breeding farm, and then he was able to live a peaceful life. I strongly feel that this is the case. It's almost a mystery that he wasn't selected as a Hall of Fame horse. I think he is a famous horse with as many episodes as Sunday Silence. April 11, 1965 This is the riding crop used by the late Tomio Yokoyama, who rode Fujino O, who achieved the feat of winning the Nakayama Grand Jump four times in a row. This riding crop belonged to my mother, and it was a treasured item. I will not disclose the detailed history here, but my mother was involved with people in the horse racing circle at the time. It came into my possession through that connection. I will tell you as much of the history as I know when I hand it over. This is a historical item of horse racing, I hesitated to list it on Mercari this time, but the day when I can't keep it is near, so I listed it. I myself respect horse racing, racehorses, and the people involved, so I am also considering donating it to a museum. Due to the above, I may withdraw the listing in a short period of time. Please understand. Also, I may come to deliver it depending on the situation. Therefore, the shipping method is undecided. It's a 60-year-old riding crop, but I felt that my mother took care of it to a certain extent and kept it. Since it was a riding crop used in a race, the feeling of use has value. The commemorative stand and ribbon attached to it are in a condition where the quality could deteriorate at any time. I also tried not to touch it as much as possible when carrying and taking pictures. This is a one-of-a-kind item that exists only in the world. I would like to hand it over only to those who can pass it on. Thank you very much. *This is a very sensitive antique item. I will also pay close attention to transportation. *I am being honest, but there are differences in perception of antiques.
