I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

Rigil's exclusive spectator seat.

There were only two people in the spectator seats as there were no players participating in the competition this time.

Maruzenski felt the cold wind blowing in his face, and the already lively atmosphere before the game even started. He looked around and said, "It's been a long time since we watched a game together."

"If you win this time, are you going to invite her over directly?"

Rudolph, no longer as serious as he was in the student council, looked casual instead. "If she wins the Emperor's Award and breaks the distance aptitude, she's qualified, right?"

"not to mention……"

"Her body must be reaching its limit."

Whether it was Barbatos' previously reported condition or her prolonged use of the field, she probably wouldn't be able to run for much longer.

Joining them, accepting the protection of the three goddesses, and becoming a legend may be the best choice.

Between two people talking.

In the center of the racecourse, all the participating horse racing ladies have appeared and entered the gate under the guidance of the staff.

The Spring Emperor Award is about to begin!

Chapter 238 Barbatos vs. Mejiro

Kyoto Racecourse.

The participating horse racing ladies stepped into the gate one by one with serious expressions.

Misato Akasaka and the commentator sitting in the commentary booth also began to create an atmosphere for the Emperor's Award.

"In this year's Emperor's Prize, between the Mejiro clan and the current world's prodigy, I'm honestly more optimistic about Barbatos. If she doesn't encounter the legendary horse girl, I really can't imagine how she would lose."

Akasaka Misato smiled and looked to the side, "What do you think, commentator?"

"Indeed, Barbatos's strength is evident to everyone present. Especially during the Sakura Festival, the gap between the current prodigy and the average horse girl was vividly demonstrated."

"Leaving aside the Winter Dream Cup, Barbatos is still undefeated. Perhaps she will become another undefeated Uma Musume."

The commentator changed the subject when he said this.

"However, perhaps even Barbatos won't be able to have smooth sailing this time."

"This is because the 3200-meter race is much longer than any of Barbatos' previous races, and it's an unprecedented challenge even for her."

"As a member of the Mejiro family, Mejiro Mitsuki is undoubtedly the strongest long-distance racing horse girl of the current generation."

"Subjectively speaking, as a commentator with many years of experience, I also hope that Barbatos can win this match, create a miracle, and become another undefeated horse girl."

"But objectively speaking, given the premise of distance suitability, it's not just Mejiro Kouyou. The other participating horse girls are no weaklings, and most of them can also pose a threat to Barbatos."

There seems to be a gap between the world's geniuses and ordinary horse girls.

This is the most intuitive feeling that the Sakura Viewing brings to everyone. Even in the top three showdown presented at the Satsuki Viewing, everyone who has watched the game will feel that there is still a gap between them and the contemporary geniuses.

But this gap can only appear in the field where one is good at.

Just like the Silent Suzuka escape, if she were to participate in a long-distance race, no one would think she could maintain the escape to the finish line.

Human power is limited, and so is Uma Musume.

"Since the commentator is optimistic about Mejiro Mitsuaki, then I'm still optimistic about Barbatos."

Misato Akasaka took over the topic with a smile. As the official commentator and broadcaster, they had also roughly discussed the opening remarks before the game. Supporting one player from each other would help to better stimulate the topic.

"The game is about to begin, let's focus our attention on the field."

"The game begins!"

Akasaka Misato's voice [Nilingerin Zero Eight] 2-Moon*Ripple/falls, and the gates of competition are opened.

Thirteen horse girls filed out of the gate and began to occupy positions suitable for them. Barbatos did not choose to open the field and give it his all, but chose to stay in the last position and observe the whole picture of the game.

From the last position, you can clearly see the movements of all the horse racing girls in front.

And the one who can keep an eye on the favorite to win this time, Mitsuaki Mejiro.

It was a figure wearing a light green long skirt, with one black shoe and one white shoe leaving footprints on the grass. She did not speed up her pace or choose the leading running style because of Barbatos' participation.

Apart from Mejiro Mingming, Barbatos could clearly see at the back that seven of the thirteen horse girls chose to run away.

This was the pressure brought by Barbatos. They didn't want to compete with Barbatos in speed on the final straight line, and wanted to open up a distance first.

They are competing with each other for the leading position.

The other horse racing ladies at the back were also affected by this fast-paced situation and followed their pace one after another.

There are very few horse girls who can lead for a long distance and win the race. Most of them will lose speed in the second half and cannot maintain it. They can only hope that the gap they opened up earlier will prevent them from being overtaken even when they lose speed.

Faced with such a lead, Barbatos also quickened his pace, doing his best to maintain his position in the chasing horse.

At the full speed of the G1 Uma Musume, even Barbatos needs to run at full speed to keep up, but even so, the problem of physical exhaustion can be said to be minimal.

Unlike her previous two matches, whether it was the Cherry Blossom Viewing match against Condor or the legendary horse racing girls in the Winter Dream Cup, she was still left behind even when she gave it her all! It was a situation where she had to use her domain to barely maintain a draw!

The current Spring Emperor's Award seems to be unusually easy.

This is the contrast brought about by the different opponents, and this is the confidence brought by the super physical strength created by previous weight training.

However, like her, Mejiro Mitsukoshi chose to stay in the last position and still did not choose to give her full effort. The reason why Mejiro Mitsukoshi can be called the favorite to win the championship is that she naturally has advantages that surpass ordinary G1 horse girls.

If she gives her all, she will definitely be ahead of other G1 horse girls.

But she still chose to run after the horse.

Barbatos saw all of this. Chasing horses was what Mejiro Mitsuaki was good at. If he ran like this normally, there would naturally be no problem.

But is it that Mejiro Ming-yu is confident that her Barbatos will stall in the second half and won't be able to control the 3200-meter length and accelerate in advance?

Or is this way of running related to the so-called "tortoise and the hare"?

She was a little confused, but did not change her strategy. She continued to keep an eye on Mejiro Komiya, following her pace, and also paying attention to the positions of other players in front of her, so that they would always be in a position where she could overtake them at any time after she left her territory.

Your eyes are bright and clear, where would you start to exert force?

"The first lap of the long straight! The cheers from the Kyoto grandstands are deafening!"

"It seems like the grandstand in Kyoto is about to collapse!"

"Countless people are cheering Barbatos' name. It seems that many of the audience came here just for Barbatos."

"That's right, but with the pace being picked up by the leading runners, will Barbatos, participating in a long-distance race for the first time, have the energy to sprint on the final straight of Tianchun?"

"Commentator 9 Cage Six Six Machine Scar Dam-sensei, it seems that it's rare in Tianchun to have so many horse girls leading the race. What do you think is the reason?"

"Because there's a terrifying beast chasing them. Even though this is the first time the beast has come here, its threat is still deadly!"

"The leading runners have entered the second lap. The grass here is all turned upside down from their previous running!"

"It seems that the consumption of physical strength will increase further in the future!"

"Barbatos and Mejiro Mitsuaki are still at the back of the pack and aren't ready to start. The front runners are about to enter the ramp at Turn 3 on lap 2."

The commentary booth continued to describe the current situation of the game.

On the track, Ming-Ming Mejiro maintained her own pace, keeping her grandmother's words in mind, and always focused on the finish line.

She was ready to exert her strength on the final straight. The final straight of the Spring Emperor's Award was very long. If she chose to exert her strength at Turn 3, her physical strength might not be able to sustain the sprint on the straight.

"The vanguard has entered Turn 3 and the slope!"

"Their speed has dropped quite a bit! It seems like leading the race has almost exhausted their physical strength to its limit."

"Someone is catching up!"

"It's Barbatos! Barbatos took the lead and caught up at Turn 3!"

Chapter 239: Within the range, Tianchun won without a doubt!

"Barbatos is catching up!"

"Barbatos took the lead on No. 3, overtaking Mu Baiguangming who was still behind and chasing after the troops in front!"

Misato Akasaka passionately recounted the match, "Will Barbatos defeat twelve players in one match next?"

Even though she was not the commentator of Barbatos's first races, she had watched all of Barbatos's races and could still clearly see the terrifying sprinting power of Barbatos when he was the chasing horse.

"Sprinting at Turn 3. It's Barbatos' first time participating in a long-distance race."

The commentator sighed slightly.

Although she objectively believed that Mejiro Mitsuaki would win, she subjectively still hoped to see Barbatos perform a miracle.

Most of the audience will cheer because of Barbatos's strength, and cheer the moment they see Barbatos exert his strength and start to open the field.

However, the Spring Emperor Award is not a track like the Satsuki Award.

The final straight line after the hill is much longer than that of other middle-distance races.

He started accelerating at Turn 3, and no horse racing girl in history has ever been able to control it.

Well, maybe, maybe those legends could have done it, but even they didn't make the choice to accelerate at Turn 3.

This is a manifestation of Barbatos' lack of experience.

Bring the experience of middle-distance competitions to long-distance events, especially the 3200-meter long distance!

After experiencing the other horse girls leading the race and speeding up the pace, which accelerated the consumption of physical strength, and now accelerating in advance at Turn 3, at this moment the commentator seemed to be able to see Barbatos' defeat.

It’s not that she didn’t have confidence in Barbatos, but this was what her years of experience as a commentator told her.

I believe that the old ancestor of the Mejiro family, the trainer of Canopus, and even Akasaka Misato who was cheering for Barbatos in front of the microphone could see this.

Her words had already been transmitted through the microphone.

The audience at the scene, the audience in front of the live broadcast, who were originally cheering for Barbatos, suddenly became nervous after hearing the commentator's words.

They were worried that Barbatos would lose the game and that his undefeated record would be lost. They all wanted to see Barbatos perform a miracle.

……

In the Rigil team barracks, Shenying and Caoshangfei, who were injured and had not yet recovered, were watching the live broadcast in the barracks because they could not participate in training.

Looking at the professional words of the commentator, as friends, they did not worry about Barbatos.

"Can't you accelerate at Turn 3?"

Condor asked confidently. This could no longer be called a rhetorical question, but more like a question.

It is not certain that adding the common sense of Uma Musume to Barbatos will be successful.

How could a powerful enemy who could defeat me be looked down upon like this?

Cao Shangfei didn't respond to Shenying's words. Instead, he looked at Meshiro Guangming, who was still lagging behind in the live broadcast and hadn't chosen to exert any strength. He frowned slightly and said, "If Meshiro Guangming doesn't speed up, even if Xiaoba stalls, she will find it difficult to catch up."

"What on earth is Mejiro Guangming thinking?"

Even though she had no connection with Mejiro Mitsukoshi, as a fellow horse girl, she still didn't understand why Mejiro Mitsukoshi could be so calm at this moment.

Even if you don't use your last kick at full strength, you should try your best not to be left behind by Barbatos.

Is he waiting for Barbatos to stall prematurely?

……

Kyoto Racecourse.

On the track, the racing ladies, who were already running out of energy due to their crazy lead, began to slow down on the slope.

They could only pin their hopes on the fact that because they were in the lead, Barbatos and Mejiro Komiya in the back had already wasted most of their energy, and in the end they would not be able to catch up even if they gave chase. They could only hope that the gap they had left on their horses was large enough.

At this moment, a suffocating feeling of oppression swept over from behind.

The sound of powerful iron hooves landing on the ground was heard, and Barbatos' figure passed by them in an instant, as if the slope of Turn 3 could not hinder her speed at all, as if the previous lead could not consume any of Barbatos's physical strength!

At this moment, Barbatos seemed to be still in its heyday, far beyond the reach of others!

Heavy steps, tired bodies, and rapid breathing came together. At the moment when Barbatos was overtaken, it was unknown who made the first sound out of instinct, and the next moment, the sound of "oysters" rang out on the track one after another.

Barbatos passed the ramp and came to the front position, arriving at the final straight line!

The gap between the horses and the other horse girls behind was starting to widen at an extremely fast speed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Barbatos quietly looked behind him, looking for the position of Mubai Guangming, wanting to see where the opponent who was the most important in this competition was now, and what gave him the confidence to use the same horse-chasing method as himself before!

Only when she turned around did she see Mejiro Mitsuaki slowly overtaking the other horse girls on the slope, and it seemed that she still had not exerted her full strength!

"Is there something wrong with Mejiro's body?"
