Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

A long table was placed in the hall, with two pairs of seats close together on each side of the table, which were the seats for the main participants of today's meeting.

Two of the four pairs of chairs are now occupied, just like the situation with Mane and Galileo, with each pair consisting of a trainer leading a female racehorse.

Manekumo stood still and glanced around before spotting a somewhat familiar-looking girl, a racehorse girl.

A girl with short brown hair was sitting next to the man dressed like a Middle Eastern tycoon. Her ears were perked up, and she was staring straight at Mane and Galileo without looking to the side.

Although this racehorse girl also has a charming appearance, her straddle posture with her legs spread apart makes her less gentle and more aggressive.

Dubai Millennium, this racehorse girl is the masterpiece of the wealthy sheikh beside her, and is said to be able to conquer even noble families. She is currently the strongest mercenary in the entire racehorse girl community.

The reason she is a mercenary is because she made a public declaration through the wealthy chieftain's channels in the middle of last year.

She stated that she would be willing to participate in any horse race in the world, anywhere, as long as the price is right and the formalities are resolved.

Over the past year, numerous groups, Uma Musume families, and even national-level Uma Musume academies have tried to invite her to participate in designated competitions, and it seems that they have indeed received satisfactory returns—at least those who have invested feel that it was worth the money.

At that moment, Dubai Millennium also saw Galileo accompanying Mane. She quickly sat up straight, put on a slightly ingratiating smile, and winked in Galileo's direction.

However, the icy Galileo completely ignored her greeting and simply followed Mane to the table with a serious expression and sat down together.

At this moment, there are only three non-Uma Musume humans in this conference hall, but they are all big names in the entire Uma Musume world.

If she acts too casually here, others will only think that her trainer has failed to discipline her properly and has disgraced the entire Kumo family.

“Mane has arrived, let’s begin the meeting immediately.”

The wealthy sheikh was the first to speak. He was a middle-aged Middle Eastern man who had inherited the title of king of a certain emirate. It could be said that even disregarding his status in the world of horse racing, this man was still at the top of the world.

But the man who appears here today represents only one identity: the patriarch of the Godolphin family.

On the other side, a young man not yet thirty immediately chimed in: "I think everyone is quite clear about the purpose of this meeting, right? Let's not waste time on unnecessary details and just get straight to the point: Who among you plans to place a significant bet on the Arc de Triomphe prize this time?"

The most mature of the three, Mane Kumo, chuckled and looked at the young man who had spoken with a meaningful gaze: "I think what Prince Judmont really wants to ask is, is there anyone who can stop those three little girls?"

"Your Judemont family originally sent a female racehorse, Mingyue Baili, from Hong Kong to compete in this race, intending for her to be their main rider this year. With two [Electric Rabbits] riding her, they were prepared to snatch the Arc de Triomphe from the French Flower, Zhuo Fu. However, they did not expect that two runners would suddenly emerge from the sidelines: Haidu Star and Stardust Illusion."

"Especially Stardust Illusion's escape strategy is an absolute killer of the Electric Rabbit tactic, and Bright Moon Hundred Miles, who was already slightly inferior to the top racehorse girls, has a terrifyingly low win rate, isn't that right?"

Pacemaker, also known as Pace-setter, or commonly called Rabbit, is the so-called electric rabbit tactic.

Its essence is to control the pace of movement and create a competitive situation that is favorable to teammates in order to achieve victory.

Generally, the electric rabbit tactic often employs a lead-and-let-go approach, breaking up the racehorse's echelon and creating a fast pace to allow teammates to catch up and win.

Occasionally there are exceptions, where a horse in the lead may intentionally slow down, causing other racehorses to race closely together.

When it comes to the straight sprint, the best runners in the crowd can use their explosive power to break through the crowd of female racers and take the lead, without having to chase for several body lengths.

This can be described as a tactic that is even more difficult to evaluate than group operations.

In particular, the practice of completely sacrificing the chances of victory for more than one female racehorse in order to pave the way for other runners is something that most trainers despise.

Manekumo pointed this out mercilessly, clearly implying that the Judmont prince's plan was too despicable, and that he even wanted to drag his Kumo family down with him.

The meeting room fell silent after this direct accusation.

The young Prince Judmont's breathing became heavy and could be clearly heard throughout the conference room; he was clearly furious at Mane's humiliation.

But he couldn't lash out on the spot because the prince was deeply afraid of the old man!

Even though Judmont, Godolphin, and Courmo are considered the three great families in the world, Prince Judmont knows his own family's situation best.

Compared to the Kumo family, which has been deeply rooted in Europe for nearly a century, the Judemont family, which relies on the American horse racing world, has only been around for a little over twenty years, making it much younger and more immature.

Especially since the Arc de Triomphe was held in France, which was under this old man's influence, it was easy for Manecoud to trip him up if he wanted to. The two were simply not on the same level.

"Alright, Lord Mane, Prince Judmont just wanted to discuss our strategies for dealing with the Arc de Triomphe, to avoid pointless conflict. Why be so aggressive?"

As the most detached of the three, the head of the Godolphin family, this wealthy chieftain stepped in to smooth things over, breaking the somber atmosphere in the meeting room.

He casually took the lead and said, "Let me state my position first: our Dubai Millennium will definitely not be attending the Arc de Triomphe event—after all, no one invited us."

"If you want to win prize money, you're welcome to join my Dubai World Cup. I definitely won't let you two, the two ace players, down."

"If that's what you've said, Chief... well, our Galileo has no intention of going into battle either, and you should know why."

Compared to the still naive Judemont, Mane was more wary of the seemingly foolish and wealthy tycoon in front of him. Seeing that he had taken the lead, he simply stated his own position.

The wealthy chief in front of me seemed carefree and even indifferent to the horse racing business, acting as if he was willing to do anything as long as he could make friends.

However, the Goldolfen family under his command is rumored to possess the authentic bloodline of one of the three goddesses of horse racing: Goldolfen Arabia (the Blue Goddess).

There are even rumors that he was mainly in charge of the Dubai Millennium, but he was just a mercenary who was bought by a wealthy tycoon to cover up the real successor of God.

"So, neither of you intends to interfere with the Arc de Triomphe?" Judmont was completely unaware of this and instead asked anxiously.

"You could say that, but I have no such plans."

"The Kumo family has always prioritized the will of the horse girls. Since Galileo doesn't intend to participate, it's only natural that we let it go."

"Hmph, then I won't stand on ceremony." Prince Judmont snorted and turned to look at the girl sitting next to him.

Only then did Mane and Galileo simultaneously frown.

The two of them were shocked to realize that, from the moment they entered the conference hall, they seemed to have completely ignored the racehorse girl next to Judmont.

It was as if she had completely hidden herself in everyone's blind spot from the very beginning!

(Oh no, this guy seems to have found a really tough racehorse girl.)

"Hey, this is our Judmont family's new ace up our sleeve for the Arc de Triomphe—come say hello to everyone, Justify!"

Chapter 366 (The secret burial method of the astronomer)

The girl who stood up from her seat looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. Her hands and feet were so slender that she seemed like a racehorse girl who was not good at running.

Her long, light purple hair cascaded over her shoulders, giving her otherwise slightly childlike face an alluring and bewitching quality.

This paradox of extreme purity and allure caused Manekumo to feel a sudden unease the moment he saw the girl named "Justice".

After an initial moment of surprise, he quickly came to his senses and recognized the girl in front of him.

This racehorse girl named Justice just made a splash in the United States this year and is now all the rage in North America. She can definitely be called a top-tier star.

"This year's American triple crown winner, Justice..."

Galileo, sitting next to Kumo, became even more serious. She narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, carefully scrutinizing the girl before her.

Unlike the Triple Crown schedules in other countries, the biggest challenge of the American Triple Crown is its incredibly tight schedule, which can be described as a grueling one.

For example, Japan's classic three crowns are the Satsuki Sho in the third week of April, the Japan Derby in the last week of May, and the Kikuka Sho in the last week of October.

This also allows the racehorse girls at least a month to rest, in case they are too exhausted after the Satsuki Sho and are unable to perform at their best in the upcoming derby, which has an extra 400m of race distance.

而美利坚三冠，却是5月第2周的肯德基德比、5月第4周的必利时锦标赛以及6月第2周的贝尔蒙特锦标赛。

Each race was only two weeks apart, which is completely contrary to the conventional understanding that racehorses should rest for at least 3-4 weeks after a race. This is a huge test for both the racehorses and their trainers.

To achieve this triple crown, American racehorses will inevitably face immense pressure from numerous races, confronting opponents who have skipped the Prix Stakes and are in perfect form.

It's easy to imagine that a racehorse capable of overcoming so many difficulties to become a triple crown winner is no ordinary horse.

Even Sunday Serenity, a runner with considerable fame throughout Japan and widely recognized as a world-class racehorse, lost her triple crown due to an overly tight race schedule.

After winning the first two titles in one go, she completely lost the stamina to continue running in the final straight race of the third Belmont Championship because she had not gotten enough rest.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his opponent, who had been neck and neck just moments before, left him a full eight horse lengths behind and won the race.

So, the girl in front of me, who looks petite, even frail, is a racehorse girl...

Since she was able to win the American Triple Crown, it means that she definitely has the strength to rival the three current favorite female racehorses at Arc de Triomphe.

Galileo even had a thought.

That is, this girl successfully concealed her presence even when facing herself, although she was also careless to some extent.

But this terrifying talent that allows one to completely conceal oneself is definitely a very troublesome skill in competitions!

"Hmph, she does seem to be a formidable opponent. But a young girl of only eighteen years old is no match for Galileo or me."

Compared to Galileo, who was deep in thought, Dubai Millennium was much more straightforward; she directly praised the other person.

But more than anything, Yu Yu, as a current world-class runner, subtly placed Galileo in a higher position than himself in his words, trying to win her favor with such a small detail.

"It's just a matter of time—"

Justice wore a confident smile that suggested he had never been beaten, showing no fear of the two who stood at the pinnacle of the world: "Because justice may be late, but it will never be absent."

Galileo merely pursed his lips and ignored the two men, responding to Dubai Millennium's subtle flattery and righteous provocation.

In her opinion, verbal sparring is the most boring thing in the world. No matter how much you talk, it won't increase your running speed on the field by even 0.1 m/s.

"What's wrong, you two? Don't you have anything to say?" Prince Judmont looked at the other two family heads, a smug smile on his face, and took the initiative to ask.

Seeing Justice's demeanor and domineering presence, which were in no way inferior to the other two, Prince Judmont had long since lost the slight fear he had shown earlier.

He propped his chin up with one hand on the table, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two men, giving a further assessment of the strength of justice in his mind.

Just then, feeling Galileo's urging gaze, Manecumo smiled helplessly and took the initiative to ask:

“Miss Justice certainly doesn’t seem like a weakling, and she’s fully capable of competing for this year’s Arc de Triomphe Award, so of course I have no objection—but what about Mingyue Baili from before? You originally planned to use her as your ace, which is why you specially transferred her from Hong Kong to France, right?”

"Then of course we'll withdraw from the competition!"

Prince Judemont replied without hesitation, without feeling that there was anything wrong with his words: "Since she does not have the strength to win the Arc de Triomphe, it is only natural for her to withdraw from the race and give way. In any case, Mingyue Baili was originally a racehorse girl in Hong Kong, so we can arrange for her to go back to Hong Kong to continue her original race schedule."

Upon hearing this, Mane couldn't help but sneer.

Although he, as the head of the Kumo family, occasionally does things without considering the feelings of the racehorse girls, he always tries to make amends or compensate them afterward to prevent any estrangement from arising.

After all, he knew very well that the racehorse girl was the biggest reason why the Kumo family had been able to stand for a hundred years.

But this clueless young man completely treated the racehorse girl as a tool, especially when it came to dealing with Mingyue Baili.

Because of Galileo's close relationship with the city of Hertfordshire, Mane also knew a lot of inside information.

In the beginning, in order to compete for the Arc de Triomphe, the Judemont family forcibly sent Mingyue Baili from Hong Kong and made many promises to the girl about the Arc de Triomphe, making her believe that she had the strength to compete for the winner, and that after winning, she and Haidu City would become a legendary master and disciple who jointly won the Arc de Triomphe.

Now that they've been training in France for a month or two and the competition is just around the corner, Prince Judmont is sending Mingyue Baili back to Hong Kong with just one sentence, as if nothing ever happened.

In Mane's view, Prince Judmont was completely unqualified, both as a trainer and as the head of the family.

"What did that trainer from Mingyue Baili say? I remember she wasn't directly under your supervision, right?"

"Ah, that guy didn't have much to say either. Anyway, my most important thing right now is to support Justice to win the championship. Nothing else matters!"
