For horse racers, making money is victory!

I lost again?

How could a good opera easily accept such an outcome?

We lost when we had no domain, and we still lost when we had a domain.

Then wasn't this trip to this field a waste of time?

"However... I only lost up to [Neck Difference]."

"This proves that our strengths are actually about the same."

"However, Xiao Bai's fighting spirit and determination this time are a bit too exaggerated."

You can feel it when you listen to a good opera.

When she was halfway through the middle of the straight line, she was already only two horses away from being inside Xiaobai and Zhuixue.

At that time, Xiao Bai was clearly exhausted, and the physical exertion of running such a long distance must have been extremely high.

Even if Xiao Bai Zhui Xue activated his unique and extremely powerful exclusive skill again and recovered some of his strength, he would not be able to support the remaining two hundred meters of the straightaway.

A versatile skill usually doesn't have a high stat; on the contrary, a single skill tends to have a higher stat. This is an age-old truth.

So... at the very last moment.

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue relied on her extremely strong fighting spirit and incredible tenacity to maintain first place and hold onto the last few dozen positions even after reaching her limit and being completely exhausted.

rice!!

That's something only a monster with exceptional one-on-one fighting ability could do!

But to my slight relief, I only lost in terms of neck pain.

Usually, a horse's length or so might indicate poor condition or insufficient tactics.

In short, it's not difficult to recover from a disadvantage, no matter where you fall behind.

However, performances exceeding two to three horse lengths are no longer in the same league; there is already a noticeable gap between them.

Now, Good Opera has gone from losing to Yoshihaku Osamu by two or three horse lengths to losing by a mere neck difference!

If this spring's Emperor's Appreciation Ceremony could be another fifty or one hundred meters longer, even the best operas might be able to surpass it by a neck's width.

But good opera knows that a loss is a loss.

Throughout history, there have been many famous racehorse girls who lost not only due to neck but also nose.

"The next GI match is the mid-range Baojia Memorial, in two months."

"I need to recover well tomorrow and then get back into the new training as soon as possible."

A good opera that clenches its fists and regains its fighting spirit will not be easily defeated.

Since we lost by a narrow margin this time.

Then just reverse it next time!

……

The snow-white-clad girl had just recovered from her shock.

"call……"

Finally, we got it!

It was extremely dangerous; the car almost overturned!

"Thank goodness, we got it!!"

185. Japan's GOAT! Is it going to be stolen by Okita Suzume?

"It really wasn't easy to win."

The snow-white girl, even two or three minutes after the game ended.

She could feel that her legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, her internal organs were almost burning hot, and her body had already reached its limit.

It's fair to say that this GI competition was the most difficult one she's faced since her debut.

There is none other than this!

When hoping to learn about the venue, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue can use her "dream training" to familiarize herself with the environment, thus possessing the so-called "advantage of location".

Not only that, Xiaobai Zhui Xue also knows about the good operas, Narita Road, and the different running styles of Ai Musou and Orihime, as well as their corresponding characteristics.

Therefore, they had almost everything they needed to win, including the right time, place, and people, and finally managed to win the classic triple crown.

Last year's Arima Memorial was the final good thing.

First, he was exhausted from the three championships in the special week, and then Grasshopper was plagued by injuries.

Good Opera was already nearing its peak and should have been in excellent form, but before the competition, it inexplicably listened to its coach Wada's instructions and ran a 3600-meter race...

By bullying the old, weak, sick, and disabled in this way, they managed to win the war.

But with the Longzhong Welfare Bureau, it's a rare opportunity to encounter them even once in a lifetime.

This advantage had long since vanished and disappeared after the Classic Year ended.

Now, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue is facing monsters who have all reached their peak or are just one step away from it.

The advantage of its location has completely disappeared.

The current best operas, the famous Nyutō, and the Narita-ro—which of these races hasn't already run double-digit numbers of races? The major racetracks have already taken turns challenging them all.

Therefore, slopes, terrain, and distances are no longer sufficient to construct excellent tactics.

We can no longer catch our opponents off guard by being underestimated or looked down upon.

It can be said that Xiaobai Zhuixue not only needs to maintain her winning streak to prevent it from being broken, but also needs to face challengers from all sides and defend her throne. However, her progress in developing a true masterful character is severely lacking.

However, her advantage has disappeared, and she has instead become a disadvantage.

With a mere 40% progress in achieving true mastery, he must use his unique skills to fight against the ultimate mastery of the opera, which has reached its peak and will dominate the field.

Therefore, the difficulty faced by Xiaobai Zhui Xue in the Year of the Horse is much higher than that in the classic years.

Therefore, in her view, the most dangerous event for her was the [GI Spring Emperor's Appreciation].

After all, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue had never done excessive training in endurance; in her view, it was a training direction that was completely not cost-effective.

Thankfully, we managed to get through it.

Previously, after finishing the Arima Memorial Race, Yoshiro Tsurugi was worried that she would be beaten up by Kuku and whipped like a top, and then a fan-made song with tens of millions of views appeared on the Internet.

That is, "The Sudden Spinning Top".

She didn't want to walk along the roadside and hear someone humming...

I heard you say you were watching a snow chase competition. Leaning against the roadside, you got whipped around like a top by the opera!

Thankfully, the Spring Emperor's Gift didn't turn out badly!

Every hurdle is difficult, but you'll overcome it!

"Although we've passed this hurdle, we absolutely cannot let our guard down in the slightest."

The next battle for Baojia Memorial will be in two months.

Xiaobai Zhuixue, whose main focus is speed, strength, and explosiveness, is theoretically a good match for Baojia Memorial.

It's worth mentioning, however, that the Honoka Memorial Tournament is essentially the Arima Memorial Tournament of the first half of the year. It's one of only two All-Star tournaments in Japan; anyone with enough popularity can participate, and the roster is usually extremely...

Luxurious.

"By then, there won't just be good operas as competitors."

"The mighty general is unleashing his fury... It's not just the Overlord who's terrifying, the Vice Overlord is coming too."

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue couldn't help but gently rub her forehead at the thought of having a new opponent.

After finishing one race, you can't be careless in the next one either, as there's always the risk of crashing.

But at least I didn't suffer a losing streak and get whipped around as soon as I entered the Year of the Horse, which should be considered a passing grade.

"call……"

"I'll treat myself to a good meal when I get back!"

In the view of Xing Naba, hoping for restoration.

The young female trainer, Wada, was feeling utterly despondent.

She knew perfectly well just how powerful the opera she was working with was.

In a normal generation, even if you don't win three championships, winning at least one would be a certainty.

In the Year of the Horse, it is quite possible that a similar feat will be replicated.

As a result, it's been over a year now, and they still haven't managed a single win against GI!

All of them were blocked outside by the battle-hardened King Xiaobai Zhuixue!

The white snow chasing the night sky is just too, too terrifying!!

But Wada is an adult after all, not some weak-willed underage foal. After taking several deep breaths, she tried her best to maintain a good mindset.

"Although we lost again, there is still a chance."

"After all, there is still a great chance for the next Bao family memorial event!"

Losing only in neck fat is a very small difference.

Good opera isn't like Mi Yu, who specializes in long-distance performances; Ba Wang's talent in mid-range performances is also exceptionally outstanding.

Since the Night Snowfall Festival, which the Emperor bestows in the spring, does not include the Territory, it is highly likely that the Takara-no-Ie Festival, which is only two months later, will also not include it.

Therefore, Ba Wang's first GI victory may be at Baojia Memorial!

When the trainees in Hotan are full of fighting spirit.

Beside her, the plump young girl, Ma Musume Nata, who seemed to have a slightly less noticeable presence, couldn't help but clench her fists.

Is this a memorial for Bao's family...?

I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to go?

As a renowned player with a GIII championship title, Nu Tao could usually meet the requirements for participating in a regular GI tournament if he participated in one or two more high-reward matches and earned some prize money.

The match has started.

After all, most competitions in Japan are judged solely on prize money or whether a team finishes in the top two or three of the preliminary rounds.

But the Bao Family Memorial is an All-Star Game, and it only considers popularity rankings.

Of course, there are exceptions. Sometimes URA can allocate slots to individual racehorses to increase their popularity.

But clearly, the famous general Nu Tao doesn't have that kind of popularity and buzz.

The only way for her to challenge Baojia Memorial is to achieve an outstanding performance in another high-stakes competition in the next month or two!

"I……"

The next moment, the famous general Nutao raised her head and looked at the slightly petite, snow-white figure with a gaze full of longing.

Next, she moved on to the good operas she often encountered on the training ground and in her daily life.

As long as I can go to Bao's house to commemorate him.

As long as I can get to that place.

Then I can officially compete against Xiaobai and Opera on the field!!

"I want to... challenge the Bao Family Memorial!"

Following the Overlord of the End of the Century, the famous general Nu Tao will also step onto the stage and show his strength in the Year of the Horse!

[In the past, Saima Musume, who had the most wins in top-level races, was known as the "strongest warrior."]

[Since Godzan's retirement, URA's promotional slogan has been—Surpass Godzan!]

[Finally, the first undefeated triple crown in history was born: Emperor Rudolph, with seven crowns, replaced Rudolph as the Japanese GOAT.]

And now, we have not only welcomed another undefeated treble winner, a feat unseen for fifty years!

[And I even witnessed her achieve feats comparable to divine praise, much like the emperors of old!]
