allkpop



The final match of�AKB48's horse race project 'Gachi Uma', Japan Derby, took place at Tokyo Racecourse on May 27th, and the winner of the project has been announced!

'AKB no Gachi Uma' is the one of JRA's (Japan Racing Association) campaigns in which 28 members of AKB48, who are over 20 years of age, will compete by betting on a horse race to become the main star of a JRA CM this fall. It turns out�Kasai Tomomi has been declared the winner!

Kasai won this victory by a wide �margine as she received a�total of 83,780 points, and Katayama Haruka came in second place with 11,550 points.

When she heard about her victory from her manager, she cried with delight. She commented "When 'Gachi Uma' started, I experienced horse races and read horse race newspapers for the first time in my life. Without being familiar with it, I suddenly won on by a�longshot�for two consecutive weeks, so I didn't understand what happen to me and I was just like 'Yeah, I won!' However, I was everywhere on the next day's newspapers, and also I got requests for an appearance in the horse race TV show, so I was really surprised." She added "This is my first time to get first place in AKB48, so I want to deliver my�happiness to everyone as a lucky girl!"
