名鉄杯 ファンファーレ 2025
This is a special fanfare that is played just once a year, just for this race! This race features a unique fanfare that is an adaptation of the musical horns used on Meitetsu's express trains (trains connected with special train cars such as the Panorama Car, the "Mu"). Before the start, the fanfare is performed live by the Meitetsu Brass Band. At the same time, on the large monitor screen "Turf Vision" installed at the finish line and on the Green Channel broadcast screen, CG footage of the 7000 Series Panorama Car and 1000 Series Panorama Super (both four-car trains) passing each other with the track scenery in the background is played, creating a production that is on par with, or even better than, that of a GI race.
