■ Comment from Hironobu Wada, CEO of sooup consulting
"I spent my childhood in Kochi Prefecture, and Kochi Racetrack was a familiar presence. Even after I became eligible to buy betting tickets, I visited the track whenever I returned to Kochi. Although there were periods of excitement, such as the popularity of the horse Haru Urara, local horse racing entered a difficult era, and Kochi Racetrack faced severe challenges. However, after witnessing the track's revival through the introduction of night lighting facilities and 'Yosakoi Night Race' in 2009, I wanted to contribute. This led me to start sponsoring races personally in 2017. I hope to continue the sooup Yushun Tokubetsu to help vitalize Kochi Racetrack in the future."
