Special Week
Special Week (Japanese スペシャルウィーク, foaled 2 May 1995) is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Between 1997 and 1999 he won ten of his seventeen races including three at Grade I level. After winning his only start as a juvenile he emerged as a top-class performer in the following season: he won the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) and three other Graded races as well as being placed in the Satsuki Sho, Kikuka Sho and the Japan Cup. He was even better as a four-year-old in 1999 winning the Hanshin Daishoten, the spring and autumn editions of the Tenno Sho, and the Japan Cup. In the last-named race he defeated a strong international field including the winners of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Epsom Derby. He later became a successful breeding stallion siring the Japanese Horse of the Year Buena Vista.
