Obey Your Master (オベイユアマスター) is a cheerful, easygoing American representative in Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, distinguished by her imposing height and unmistakably mysterious air. She is especially memorable for entering the Japan Cup without a Grade 1 victory—or any other major achievement—to her name.
At 182 cm, Obey Your Master has a striking physical presence, but her relaxed personality keeps that stature from feeling purely intimidating. The contrast is central to her appeal: she appears approachable and carefree, yet arrives on an international stage as an enigmatic contender whose record offers few clues about what she might accomplish.
Her Japan Cup campaign places her in the orbit of formidable rivals Tamamo Cross and Oguri Cap. Against such celebrated competition, her lack of major victories makes her participation all the more intriguing—not a decorated champion arriving with fanfare, but an overseas challenger carrying an air of uncertainty.

Obey Your Master (オベイユアマスター) is a Japanese-bred chestnut gelding whose career began in the 2020s. His principal success came in a two-year-old maiden race in 2023, and his recorded 21 starts produced one win, four top-three finishes and ¥12.8 million in Japan Racing Association earnings.

Origins and pedigree
Foaled on 16 March 2021, Obey Your Master was bred by Chestnut Farm. He is by Asia Express out of Tino, a daughter of Kinshasa no Kiseki.
His wider pedigree combines several internationally bred influences. Asia Express, a chestnut foaled in the United States in 2011, is a son of Henny Hughes out of Running Bobcats. On the dam’s side, Tino was bred in Japan and is out of Ripe Orange, with the Australian-bred Kinshasa no Kiseki appearing as Obey Your Master’s maternal grandsire.
Before beginning his racing career, Obey Your Master passed through the 2023 JRA Breeze Up Sale. He was sold there for ¥9.9 million and subsequently raced for owner Haruhisa Akasaka.
Racing career
Obey Your Master entered training with Mitsugu Kon at the Japan Racing Association’s Ritto training centre. His racing record belongs to the early and middle years of the 2020s, beginning with a juvenile campaign in 2023.
Juvenile maiden victory
The defining result of his two-year-old season was his maiden win in 2023. That victory gave him the only success among his first 21 recorded starts and stands as the major win listed in his career record.
The result was significant because it moved him beyond maiden company during his first season and established the central achievement of his racing career. Although no subsequent win appears in the recorded total, he continued to compete often enough to compile 21 starts.
Continued competition
Across those 21 outings, Obey Your Master recorded one victory, one second-place finish and two thirds. He finished outside the first three on 17 occasions.
All ¥12.8 million of his recorded prize-money came in JRA competition. His National Association of Racing earnings remained at zero, placing his documented racing career within the central JRA circuit rather than Japan’s regional NAR programme.
The combination of one win and three additional placings gives his record a straightforward shape: an early breakthrough as a juvenile, followed by an extended period in which he continued racing without adding another victory. His second and two third-place finishes nevertheless contributed to an earnings total that exceeded his ¥9.9 million breeze-up sale price.

Connections
Obey Your Master was bred by Chestnut Farm and raced in the ownership of Haruhisa Akasaka. Mitsugu Kon trained him from Ritto, one of the JRA’s two principal training centres.
Those connections remained associated with him throughout the available career record: Chestnut Farm as breeder, Akasaka as owner and Kon as trainer. His ¥9.9 million sale at the 2023 JRA Breeze Up Sale forms the link between his early preparation and his subsequent racing career.
Career standing
Obey Your Master’s record is centred on persistence rather than a sequence of major victories. His 2023 maiden success remains the clear landmark, while the remainder of his 21-start record consists of one runner-up finish, two thirds and continued participation in JRA racing.
He is listed as active but spelling, indicating a break from racing rather than retirement. As a gelding, his continuing significance rests on his racecourse record: a breeze-up graduate who won as a two-year-old and earned ¥12.8 million through 21 starts in Japan.
