The story
Gendai Business reported obtaining audio from a top-level executive meeting of the “Umashukai” (Horse Owners’ Association), the organization representing owners in Japan’s central horse racing. During the meeting, shouts like “Get outside, you!” were reportedly flying around — a rare glimpse into dealings normally hidden behind closed doors. On 5ch, discussion focused less on the article itself and more on what horse owners are actually like as people, with opinions split over whether to call them “celebrities” or something closer to “thugs.” Many posts also took a fact-checking angle, naming real wealthy individuals and politicians to debate who’s actually involved in horse racing.
What happened behind closed doors among the celebrities? Audio obtained — shouting at a top-level executive meeting of the JRA’s “Horse Owners’ Association”: “Get outside, you!”
“Get outside! Right now, you!”
A sudden shout rang out across the meeting room. The voice belonged to a top executive of the horse owners’ association for Japan’s central horse racing.

Well yeah, he's passed away.
He died quite a while back already.
Don't send a FAX to a guy who already quit!
Come talk to me first.
Can't speak for horses.
It's basically a status symbol only the rich can afford — high risk, low return.
And since it doubles as 'supporting' the livestock industry, it lets them look good too.
Also, 'celebrity' means famous people, not just rich people, right?
Correct.
Pedigree is exactly the thing money can't buy for new-money guys like this lol
Guess Queen Elizabeth had no class then lol
'Celebrity' means people who built their wealth and status by being famous.
— it's pretty much a yakuza vibe.
… shady.
a place that's packed with 3 people somehow had 5 crammed in, apparently
'Squeeze in a bit further back!'
'No, I can't go any further, let's talk in the hallway!'
'If you're gonna say that, then YOU go listen outside!'
'Hey, don't push, this is the limit!'
'You're mumbling in the back, I can't hear you, come over here and say it!'
'Stop pushing me like that, it's painful listening out here!'
'Don't push, get outside, idiot, your bag is jabbing into my stomach!'
'Wait a second, first get outside, THEN we'll talk!'
'You, squeeze in!'
'You, get outside!'
Probably went something like that, don't you think?
Sounds like a Dacho Club skit lol (the comedy trio known for their chaotic shoving routines)
There's baseball players too, aren't there.
Having Miki and Noda is plenty already.
USEN's former president Uno apparently warned Fujita, 'Stay away from Ferraris and horses.'
Chair of the LDP's Horse Racing Promotion Caucus
Hashimoto Seiko
Wasn't her father the owner of Marzensky or something?
Those two aren't billionaires, are they?
They're easily billionaires lol
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Horse ownership is restricted to wealthy individuals who meet the JRA’s screening criteria, and owners have traditionally been portrayed with a ‘distinguished gentleman’ image. Within the thread, however, opinions about owners’ conduct leaned heavily toward ‘thugs’ and ‘rough types,’ making the gap between image and reality a central point of debate. There was also an easily overlooked point about the word ‘celebrity’ itself — some posters noted it properly refers to famous people rather than simply the wealthy, which split how readers interpreted the article’s headline in the first place. It should also be noted that the original article doesn’t specify exactly how the audio leaked or came to be used for the report, so details about who was shouting and the full context remain unconfirmed.
