NHK's documentary program "Ano Hi, Yotsuba Yotsuba Ie" (General) follows the aftermath of people who happen to be caught on footage of historical moments and social events that took the world by storm. The program will be broadcast on December 18th at 7:57 pm under the title "Monster Oguri Cap's Legendary Last Run."
The theme of this issue is the G1 race "Arima Kinen" held on December 23, 1990, which was the retirement race of the monster "Oguri Cap" who started an unprecedented horse racing boom. After a series of losses, Oguri's dramatic victory at a time when people were whispering that "Oguri is finished" is still legendary.
180,000 spectators flocked to Nakayama Racecourse. A thorough search is conducted to find the "legendary witnesses" from the footage of the time, including a woman who cried at Oguri Cap's victory and a woman who said, "Oguri's presence helped me when I was in trouble." There is even a woman who was attracted to Oguri Cap's down-to-earth spirit and rushed to his retirement ceremony. Will they be able to find them?
The studio MCs are "Ogiyahagi" and guests are Miyuki Imori and Kanako Murakami. In addition, legendary jockey Yutaka Take, who rode Oguri Cap that day, will also appear.
