For horse racers, making money is victory!

What's even more incredible is that the opponents in the duel all seemed quite petite, young, and inexperienced, probably from the Year of the Horse or the Year of the Horse.

Although I couldn't see their faces clearly, I still remembered their demeanor and impressions; they were definitely very young opponents.

Then, I always ended up second to last.

It can only be faster than the white pony, and then lose to the other rivals.

Where did all these amazing racehorse girls come from?

How come she's never heard of so many amazing racehorse girls in Japan?

This dream is getting stranger and stranger.

I don't know why.

The hazy, indistinct white pony in my dream vaguely overlaps with the delicate white-haired, red-eyed girl Zetsugu, whom I occasionally see at the academy.

Maruzensky immediately put this out of his mind and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

"The derby is tomorrow."

"The biggest event in the classic horse racing series is coming soon. Who will be the ultimate winner?"

97. The Great Red Monster's Nemesis, the Annual Event!

The Japanese derby, on the day of the match.

The Teresen Academy was bustling with activity.

As the center of the Japanese horse racing scene, Treisen Academy, which is extremely competitive, often doesn't even close on holidays.

But today, even though it's not a holiday, the new-year ponies who are just starting school are given a day off.

These young "internship girls" will begin their studies and familiarize themselves with Treson Academy.

Then, they train to run, participate in training matches to showcase themselves, sign a contract with a trainer to join the team and form a partnership, and then officially debut in competitions.

This process usually takes several months, so pony calves have already started enrolling in May.

Xiaobai Zhuixue's delay until October was due to the complicated procedures involved in being an American racehorse girl.

The reason for giving them a day off today is simple: this is the biggest stage to watch the veterans compete for the classic triple crown.

One day, these younger newcomers may also walk onto that stage with dignity, and even compete against the veterans of this year's derby in Gumar GI.

Therefore, Treson Academy gives special holidays to the young ponies who will be challenging for the Triple Crown in the future, as an encouragement to them.

Alice, who just started school, is on vacation.

The chestnut-haired girl, wearing a white coat, was eagerly preparing to head to the party horse racing venue.

The front-row ticket for the Japanese derby was in the pocket of her white coat.

"Every month, it steadily gets stronger."

"There's no limit to what can be achieved, and he possesses an astonishing physique."

"His running style is even more varied and powerful..."

Hariko was very interested; she had gone there specifically to observe Yoshiro Chasing Snow.

As a "scientist" who loves research, Alice has already made Yoshiro Oyuki her top priority since she is unable to observe the Divine Eagle.

Therefore, she will definitely not miss the Japanese derby!

"Senior Xiaobai, let me see your ever-growing true power."

Tokyo Racecourse.

This is an extremely grand and famous racecourse, the most representative and largest racecourse in URA, which has existed for nearly a century.

It has an extremely long racing history, and is therefore affectionately known as "Fuchu Hiroshima Racecourse".

The Japan Cup, the Emperor's Award, the NHK Mile Cup, and... the Japanese Derby—these GI events are all held at Tokyo Domino Stadium.

It is the location of the first G1 race that many female horse racing enthusiasts watch when they first arrive at the school.

This also includes the foals Kozumi Satomi and Genko Hokuto.

"Wow, so many people!!!"

"Xiao Bei, it's a good thing we arrived two hours early to queue up."

"But we're still not very far ahead in the queue. Before, two hours was enough for Bisai, but this time it looks like we'll have to wait three or four hours..."

"Yes, we need to learn from this experience next time."

Gazing at this truly massive crowd, the two little foals were filled with excitement and their emotions were also affected by the bustling flow of people.

What they found slightly regrettable was that they lacked experience in watching games.

Knowing that the Japanese derby is a popular sport, I never imagined it would turn out like this.

It's incredible that the Satsuki Sho prize can reach 80,000 to 90,000, or even close to 100,000.

This event must have exceeded the outrageous figure of 120,000!

Many of the people queuing to watch the crabs were talking to themselves or chatting with their friends.

"It's so lively! I only come to see the derby and Arima Memorial every year. This derby must be the most popular one in recent years."

"If Xiaobai Zhuixue wins, then she will be undefeated with two crowns, just one step away from being undefeated with three crowns!"

"Her last step wasn't good, but I guess she benefited from Shigebaba's success during the Satsuki Sho. Derby is a sunny day and a good horse racing track."

"What I see is the adoration for Orihime and good opera, and their final performances are undeniably powerful."

"Stop saying so much, I just want to see an exciting match, I'm starving!"

.-...-

Inside the racetrack.

Backstage, among the impressive lineup of no fewer than twenty contestants, only a few were currently indoors.

It's not that the time was wrong, or that I was late or unpunctual.

Rather, it's because... these dozen or so female racehorses were mostly backstage, chatting with their respective trainers.

For example, Good Opera was exchanging ideas with the trainers at the entrance.

"In the opera, the most important thing to watch out for in this competition is to be wary of Ai-hime and Xiao-bai Zhui-xue, as they are both skilled at chasing horses."

"Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's previous lead-out running style is not suitable for this race, and she has never run a bad horse before."

"It will most likely be like Ai Mu Zhi Ji, ending up at the bottom, but seizing the opportunity to overtake you from a position you can't observe."

Although she was a new trainer, Trainer Hetian had still passed the central trainer examination.

The fact that she arrived at the central level at such a young age, instead of becoming a trainer at some local academy, is enough to show that although she is a rookie, she is by no means bad and has the talent of a trainer.

It is recognized.

There's nothing wrong with these instructions.

Good Opera portrays her usual sunny smile, full of confidence, as she stands tall and laughs heartily.

"Don't worry, Tuolai, I will never make the same mistake as Satsuki Shōtoki."

During the performance of "Satsuki no Hiroki," she saw Yoshiro Oiyuki accelerate ahead of her, and only gradually increased her speed in the second half of the performance.

Because according to her calculations, she was absolutely capable of defeating Xiao Bai Zhui Xue with her last move, so she remained calm and composed, displaying a regal demeanor.

The truth is, Bawang's prediction was half right.

Indeed, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue's last step was no match for her, but at the last moment, when she was about to be overtaken, she unleashed an astonishingly powerful skill, thus achieving a [double acceleration].

Ultimately, her attempt to accelerate and overtake the arrest failed, and she lost by a margin of three.

Such a defeat should never be repeated in a good opera!

The longer sprint straight line and the greater distance gave her a sense of complete confidence!

Faced with their own confident words and the formidable strength displayed in recent training, the trainer, Wada, was convinced.

I believe...

"We will win!!"

The strongest declaration before the Japanese derby!

Inside the back office.

The black-haired girl admires Orihime, and the white-haired girl, Yoshiro, chases after Yuki.

However, there is a slight difference.

Ai Mu Zhi Ji remained expressionless, but her extreme fighting spirit was already evident, and no one doubted her formidable strength and shocking presence.

In contrast, Xiao Bai Zhui Xue appeared calm and unhurried.

Of course, her fighting spirit remained strong, but what made her stand out was that she had a red racehorse doll in her arms, which changed her overall style.

The next moment, Ai Mu Zhi Ji looked seriously at Xiao Bai Zhui Xue and slowly spoke.

"Yoshiro, you won the Satsuki Shoku very well."

"But I'm sure I'll win the Japanese derby."

This was a rare instance where Ai Mu Zhi Ji took the initiative to speak to her.

And it was a declaration of war!

Great, very energetic!

Xiao Bai Zhui Xue immediately raised her head, pinched the imposing red doll in her arms with both hands, narrowed her eyes slightly, and spoke seriously.

"So, my crush, can you do me a favor?" yx

Isn't this a powerful counterattack?

The other racehorse girls around them listened with interest to what Ruoxiao Baizhui Xue had to say next.

Ai Mu Zhi Ji first looked at the document, blinked, and subconsciously asked a question.

"Agree to what?"

The black-haired girl suddenly had a bad feeling.

The next second, the white-haired, red-eyed girl's red eyes appeared incredibly sharp, and she uttered a cool, soft whisper.

"After you lose, can you hold back your tears?"

These words suddenly silenced the entire room.

Ai Mu was immediately stunned.

Is this... a strategy of "courtesy first, then force"?!

Inside the racetrack.

Many viewers...

The large screen in front of us has finished playing the promotional video and is about to switch to the narrator's screen.

Guan Xingxi, the representative of the R-Niang Qianming, was sighing with a smile.

"The treatment of Zhui Xue in the promotional video is really better than expected."

"Her status is even higher than when I filmed the Derby promotional video. It seems URA... is really going all out and pouring resources into her."

Emperor Ruduo, standing beside her, nodded in agreement.

"The horse puppet she brought with her during the shoot even caused a stir."

"The news has even reached Guan Guo. And her... family? That big red monster from the muddy ground also brought the same horse puppet in the Triple Crown promotional video. The two of them seem to have a really good relationship."

"I suppose you two were very close at home in the past."

The Ruduo symbolizes conventional judgment.

But she never imagined that Bai Zhuixue and the Secretary were actually sworn enemies.

Yes, it's that kind of arch-rival relationship with a record of 0 wins and 153 losses in training matches.

Who says a rivalry has to be evenly matched to be considered a true nemesis?!
