Kepler-442b
The championship planet — home of the Group races and the Hyperion line, where every other horse must earn its way on ranking points.
A remote super-Earth on the edge of known space, where racing reaches its summit. Long sweeping circuits cross an alien landscape under an amber sky, and the heavy gravity makes every stride cost more. Kepler is the exclusive home of the Group grades — G1, G2 and G3 — and the birthplace of the Hyperion line, 102 horses in the whole collection. Every other horse must earn its way here on ranking points, a climb that takes months.
The championship circuits
The championship circuits stretch across Kepler-442b's alien terrain — long, punishing tests of 2000 to 2600 metres where the planet's heavy gravity and thin, strange atmosphere make each stride cost more. Only true stayers survive. This is the exclusive stage of Group racing (G3, G2 and G1), where the finest bloodlines meet and fortunes are wagered — the planet every owner spends a career climbing toward.
Every course on Kepler-442b, with its next race and its record, is on the racecourses page. How a horse qualifies is explained under Ratings & Rankings, and the Group grades under Race Classes & Entry Fees.
The landscape
A weathered, otherworldly landscape of pale dust plains, mineral ridges and deep glowing canyons defines Kepler-442b, all lit by the amber glare of its orange dwarf star. Its circuits thread through this alien terrain under a vast, strange sky — a beauty that makes the championship planet as breathtaking to watch as it is brutal to win.
The horses
Kepler-442b is where the collection began, and the only planet whose horses never changed colour: every Kepler coat is a real horse coat, and those coats are worn only by Hyperions. The full set is on the Coat Colours page.
