IRL Oguri was born with weak legs and couldn't even stand, one leg being especially bowed. Staff had to hold him up so he could feed from his mother (White Narubi) which often times had insufficient amount of milk for him. Oguri's lack of mobility difficulties breastfeeding lead to him conditioning himself to eat anything with in reach such as even weeds. This gluttonous trait would stick with him even to adulthood, staff would even have to take special measures with the straw for his bedding because he would make himself fat on even eating that. As a foal with an abnormal diet and messed up legs he was thin and considered unappealing but staff fell in love with him and worked extra hard to help him develop properly. Also yes the head shaking was a common quirk, lots of footage of Oguri when being moved into the gates would stop for a couple seconds and shake its head vigorously.

It's time for peak! But before we get to Oguri Cap we start off with have the 1987 Tokyo Derby. Everything about this derby was an upset. First of all there were 24 racers - about 1.5x the usual amount. The top fave Material was stuck in the middle of the pack the whole race and ended in 18th without getting a chance to move up. Meanwhile Sunny Swallow had the third-lowest odds but pushed up midway through and managed to take the lead by the final corner. With Material out of the running Gold City was certainly going to take home the crown and pushed from 16th all the way up to the front with his dazzling speed, but it was not enough. Nihon Pillow March accelerated even faster and stole 3rd from Gold City by a nose, but they and Sunny Swallow were completely blown out of the water by Merry Nice (Merry Beauty in the anime), who won with a blistering lead of six lengths. A wild derby for sure. Gold City is the only horse from that race that is in Umamusume. He was considered to be an exceptionally beautiful thoroughbred and this was translated into the Umamusume Gold City being a teen model. She has an excellent career in the game imo, as she not only balances her two occupations but also fights against misogyny in a story that maybe doesn't really make sense when there's characters like Smart Falcon and Curren Chan running around, but in a vacuum it's great. Sadly, while there was much hope for irl Gold City to become a legend as shown by Rudolph eying her during the race, he peaked very early and was not able to live up the expectations of his owners and fans. That might be all the racing commentary I can give for a while because Oguri Cap does not start her story in the illustrious Tokyo Tracen Academy but in the regional Kasamatsu branch. Up until now our protagonists have been the cream of the crop, destined for greatness since birth. Even Spe-chan, who has a similar backstory of growing up in the country, took the Tracen exam and was immediately accepted because her raw talent was just that good. Ignoring Haru Urara, that's the case for pretty much every major character in Umamusume Pretty Derby. Even the generic npc umas are elite athletes with raw talent that sets them far above the average student at Kasamatsu. But raw talent isn't everything, and sometimes when a star is born it begins as a diamond in the rough.
