Cygames, Inc., the developer of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby series, has just become a Premium Partner of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. This agreement is historic because it marks the first occasion a Japanese firm has achieved Premium Partner level with this renowned race. Under the sponsorship terms, the Cygames logo will be displayed on race publications and on‑site signage throughout the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
In addition, full‑size statues representing Goldship and Orfevre from the Umamusume series will be installed at the Paris Longchamp track during the event. Both figures honor the real horses that have raced there: Goldship’s actual counterpart took 14th place in 2014, while Orfevre’s earned second position in 2012.
Guillaume de Saint-Seine, the President of France Galop, said the following about the partnership:
“We are thrilled to welcome Cygames, a video‑game creator and publisher, as a Premium Partner of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. After serving as title sponsor of the Cygames Grand Prix de Paris for two seasons, Cygames now deepens its involvement with French horse racing through this new collaboration. I especially appreciate how our work together is expanding, highlighting the quality and reputation of French racing to fresh fans. This also shows we can draw collaborators from many fields outside racing by providing platforms that support real brand development, visibility and business growth.”
Koichi Watanabe, Cygames’ president, also commented on the partnership:
“We are extremely proud to back one of the world’s most celebrated horse races as a Premium Partner of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Over many years, Japanese thoroughbreds have chased the dream of Arc victory, and those tales have spread far beyond the sport, motivating fans worldwide with the ambition and zeal this historic contest represents. At Cygames we aim to share that same enthusiasm with a global audience by offering top‑tier entertainment. Guided by that purpose, we are honored to sponsor the Arc and hope that countless people will get to experience and relish this remarkable event and its first‑rate celebrations.”
Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in Paris & Umamusume: Pretty Derby Details
The Société d’Encouragement launched the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, back in 1920. Over the ensuing decades the race evolved into one of Europe’s most celebrated events. The 2,400‑meter (1 mile 4 furlongs) grass contest takes place at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris and carries the biggest prize pool of any European fixture, totaling €5,000,000 (about $5,819,000 / ¥900,000,000). It is slated for October fourth. After Qatar became the primary sponsor in 2008, the event’s name was changed to the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
Entry into the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is limited to thoroughbreds aged three years and older. For this year’s edition, France Galop has permitted geldings to compete as well.
Cygames’ Umamusume: Pretty Derby series portrays anthropomorphic reinterpretations of actual racehorses. Beginning as a mobile title, Umamusume has expanded into a multimedia franchise that includes TV anime, OVA episodes, manga releases, feature films, and further video games.
