Falco is happy that she has more dirt specialist friends than just Haru Urara and Shinko Windy.
Copano Rickey was unveiled much earlier and we already know what's her shtick (Feng Shui Power!).
Hokko Tarumae is explicitly said to be from Tomakomai, Hokkaido, which is a real-life hotspot of horse-breeding in Japan. Of course, this is also near where her namesake is located. Special Week is going to be happy.
Wonder Acute as a character is best described as an old woman in the body of a middle-schooler. She sounds like an old woman, she has gray hair like an old woman and she probably gives out little candies to good children and trainers. The joke is probably based on the real horse's sheer longevity even when considering that Dirt horses have greater longevity in general (he stopped racing when he was 9 years old and even then, he was still competitive). Despite the hair, the real Wonder Acute is bay.

Though, if Wonder Acute acts old because the IRL horse still won G1 flat races at 9 years old, I wonder how still-winning-G1-races-at-11-years-old Oju Chosan would look like... though it would require steeplechases being implemented in-game first.

Or a young girl with speech pattern comparing to an old lady. Recalling that to another similar girl from another game.
