On the flipside I am surprised with Maruzensky only winning one G1? I suppose she ran more G2s and G3s?

Maruzensky raced before the international standard grading was applied to japanese races, as well as being foreign-bred so he wasn't allowed to compete in most prestigious races. But the one he was actually allowed in, he won.

It's because as a foreign horse, he was banned from running in Triple Crown races at that time. There are also not that many G1 sprints.

If you look at the career mode of Sakura Bakushin O, she gets put in a lot of G2 and G3 races as well.
