Speed Symboli was born on May 3, 1963 at Symboli Bokujo. Ultimately, Speed Symboli would take part in 43 races over the course of his career (39 in Japan and 4 abroad) and win 17 of them, earning over 160 million yen in winnings. His five consecutive attempts at the year-end grand prix race
Arima Kinen were notable; he won his fourth and fifth attempts in 1969 and 1970, becoming the first horse to win consecutive Arima Kinen races. While the grading system wouldn't be introduced to Japan for over a decade, he won twelve races that would later be granted the status, which would tie the JRA record to this day (tying
Oguri Cap and
T. M. Opera O). He became a stud horse after retiring, and while he only fathered a single graded race winner in Pure Symboli, his foal Sweet Luna would eventually give birth to seven-crown winner and the first undefeated triple crown winner in
Symboli Rudolf. He died of old age at 26 on May 31, 1989. == Pedigree ==
