Logi Universe began his racing career on 6 July at Hanshin Racecourse in a contest for previously unraced horses over 1800 metres and won from eleven opponents.

[4] In the polling to determine the Japanese champion juvenile colt of 2008 Logi Universe received 31 votes and finished runner-up to Seiun Wonder.

He was made the 6.7/1 second favourite behind Unrivaled whilst the other runners included Seiun Wonder, Apres Un Reve, Reach the Crown and Nakayama Festa.

He drew away in the closing stages to win by four lengths from Reach the Crown who finished just ahead of Antonio Barows, Nakayama Festa, Apres Un Reve and Schon Wald.

[11] It was hoped that the colt would return in autumn but he developed a muscular problem in his right hind leg and missed the rest of the season with injury.

Before the race his trainer admitted that the colt was still having problems with "muscle pains"[13] and he ran poorly to finish unplaced behind Nakayama Festa.

Logi Universe showed some sign of a return to form on his third and final start of the year when he finished second to Earnestly in the Sapporo Kinen in August.
