To be number one, you have to be ruthless!

Strong competition among peers?

She's willing to get addicted to mobile games, even if it means gacha pulls and card games!

The new generation pushes the old one aside?

Why not just use experience to manipulate promising juniors?

He's either currently suspended or on his way to being suspended!

Every time a contestant makes a dashing entrance, the competition rules have to be revised!

During his suspension, he led a professional team that turned the G1 tournament into a nightmare event!

The president of the association that sent off the "Pride of Japan" to compete abroad (a big lie).

Who is so utterly despicable yet so dazzlingly beautiful that no one can blame them?

That's right! It's me! Golden Victory!

Chapter 1: During My Suspension, I Was a Trainer!

[Youth Crown, a semi-major prize race, sand, 1400 meters]

At this moment, the racehorses are galloping across the Kasamatsu Racecourse.

The competition has reached a critical moment.

"We're approaching the third turn! There are nearly 700 meters left in the race! Crown Author is currently in first place, followed closely by Fujimasa March and Oguri Hat in second and third place! Can Crown Author maintain her lead?"

The Junior Crown Race is a well-known race in Kasamatsu's local racing scene, and today many spectators came to support the racehorses and pray for their victory.

In the standing area further in front of the front row seats, a young man was leaning on the railing with both hands, looking anxiously into the distance.

[Kasamatsu Tressen Trainer - Kitahara Yuki]

Next to him, another racehorse girl he was training, Shining Radiance, turned her head and asked her trainer a question.

"Kitahara, can Oguri Hat surpass them?"

"Well... I don't know... but even if she gets third place, she'll still get close to 500,000 yen in prize money. That should be enough to cover her extra food expenses for a while after the competition..."

As a trainer, Kasamatsu Tressen's limited food always forced Kitahara to allocate a significant portion of Oguri Hat's bonus to support her staggering food expenses.

If possible, he still hopes that Oguri Hat can get first place...

At that moment, a soft, hesitant voice came from behind.

"Oh? Third? Oguri Hat?"

"You mean that girl who's still in third place? She looks very energetic, with great stamina and condition. I bet she's about to accelerate and sprint."

"However, her steps are really heavy; this running style isn't really suitable for sandy terrain..."

Her voice had a deep, magnetic quality that came with the presence of a mature woman, and neither Kitahara nor the horse girl beside her paid any attention to her at that moment.

Until the situation in horse racing changed.

"Sprint! Sprint! Fujimasa March and Oguri Hat are sprinting!"

"They sprinted at the same time! Both of them overtook the author of the crown simultaneously!"

The two racehorse girls increased their speed almost simultaneously, and a storm immediately swept behind the crown author.

Two streaks of hairy figures immediately took her lead.

"Right now, Fujimasa March is in first place! Oguri Hat is right behind in second! The Crown Author has slowed down, and the competition has now split into three tiers!"

"There are only 600 meters left in the race! Can Fujimasa March maintain its rhythm and win first place? Or will Oguri Hat overtake its opponent and take first place?"

The game took a turn and the situation became clear.

Just as the two were beginning to relax, the woman next to them spoke again.

"...It's really rare to see two potential racehorses with the energy to sprint halfway through the race in this local race."

"Hey! You man!"

"Are you Little Chestnut's trainer?"

"Yes...yes!"

Perhaps because they've secured a top-two ranking, most of the expense issues have been resolved.

Kitahara looked at the source of the sound with a slight relaxation in his expression.

The woman was tall with fair skin and pure white hair of the same color family. Her crimson eyes were furrowed as she stared at Kitahara.

She did not cover her ears or the long tail behind her.

This is a white-haired horse girl.

Its almost pure white fur and skin, paired with bright red eyes, made it impossible to look away. It was only after his gaze fell on a certain part that Kitahara, as a man, realized his rudeness.

All I can say is that pure white racehorse girls are incredibly rare...

Unfortunately, her tacky bright red tracksuit and the red scarf-shaped headband on her right ear completely ruined her natural beauty.

With such an eye-catching outfit, one might not immediately notice the unusual color scheme of her overall appearance without careful observation.

She was beautiful, but what she said next wasn't so pleasant...

"Putting aside your terrible teaching, shouldn't a trainer's job during a race be to believe that the racehorse girl they've trained can win first place?"

"The distribution of bounty and the balance of income and expenditure are certainly important, but these are things you should be thinking about after the game."

After saying that, the woman gave a soft snort.

At the same time, Kitahara's legs suddenly went weak for some unknown reason.

If his hand hadn't been hooked on the railing, he would probably be in a huge embarrassment by now.

"you!"

"Watching the game." Before the other person could answer, the girl had already turned her attention back to the game. Only after hearing the other person's voice did she remind Kitahara again.

"Ah!" Kitahara, who had been intimidated by the opponent's momentum, had his attention diverted back to the match upon hearing this.

As for the newly emerged radiance next to him, the impact was even more exaggerated. He was trembling all over and couldn't even pay attention to the game anymore.

While the two were exchanging words, the race at the racetrack was nearing its end.

"Fujimasa March is currently in first place, and Oguri Hat is half a horse length behind Fujimasa March. Can Oguri Hat overtake them to take first place, or will Fujimasa March win the Youth Crown Cup?"

Just as the commentator finished speaking...

Just as the outcome of this horse race was about to be decided.

The game took another turn!

"and many more!"

"Little Chestnut Hat is sprinting again!!!"

"Oguri Hat, she's almost at Fujimasa's neck! The two are nearly neck and neck! They're crossing the finish line almost simultaneously!"

Soon, the race record footage of the finish line was released.

Little Chestnut Hat, who caught up later, reached the finish line first with a slight difference in altitude.

"Oguri Hat has won! Oguri Hat is first! He won by a mere horse's nose! Oguri Hat is the winner of the Youth Crown Cup!"

"Second is the Fujimasa March, third is the composer of The Crown..."

"Great! We won!!!"

Kitahara and the newly restored Radiant Light, one human and one horse girl, held hands and jumped around happily in the audience area. The horse girl behind them spoke again.

"A second sprint, ah... I misjudged her a little. How could she still have the stamina to last this long?"

"He's a genius, no, in this kind of place it's more appropriate to call him a monster."

Slightly scratching her face, she noticed the cheering duo who had been drawn to her mutterings, and then she put on a smile and congratulated them in an elegant tone.

"This trainer named Kitahara, you have a very good racehorse girl. Congratulations to Oguri-chan on your victory."

I was a little prejudiced against you just now, I'm sorry.

Although it's the same now.

Upon hearing the apology, Kitahara, who had been praised, immediately stopped caring about the other person's actions and became somewhat smug because of Oguri's victory.

Facing the unfamiliar racehorse girl before him, Kitahara struck a cool pose and declared his dream:

"Our target is Tokai Darby, this is just one of Oguri Hat's victories since her debut!"

“Oh… Tokai Darby.” Hearing this, she chuckled softly, then glanced at Kitahara.

"Then you'd better work hard, at least don't drag Little Chestnut down with you."

"Hmm—"

After saying that, the horse stretched and yawned, making a warm-up motion, and then walked towards the competition field.
