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

But before she could reach them, her keen hearing allowed her to hear their conversation over the sound of the heavy rain.

“I’m so lucky today!”

"Xiaoba, I'm really good at running in the rain. If it's this kind of weather, I'll definitely try my best to make you run at full speed!"

The optimistic voice of Dashu Express reached Rong Jin Berlin's ears, causing her movements to freeze. She knew every word that Dashu Express said, but why couldn't she understand it when they were put together?

What do you mean I'm good at running in the rain, and I'm going to push Barbatos to his full potential in this weather? ? ?

Why does it sound like if it doesn't rain, Big Tree Express won't even be able to force Barbatos to use his full strength?

Daiki Express is definitely a monster among all those G1 horse girls. She shouldn't say such things even when facing the number one in Japan!

"Actually, I'm also good at running in bad weather during heavy rain."

"How about Dashu, why don't you figure out what to have for dinner first?"

Barbatos extinguished the idea of ​​the Big Tree Express. The so-called excellence in the bad field on rainy days is to be able to perform at a higher level on the bad field, not to be able to run faster than in normal weather.

In order to cope with rainy days, Minamisaka had made a training plan for her on bad fields, but it ended right after the practice began.

With the ability to ignore unit volume collisions, Barbatos can still exert 100% of its strength in adverse situations!

Chapter 342 True despair!

Zhongshan Racecourse.

The raindrops fell down with a crackling sound, turning the grass on the original racecourse track into real muddy grass, turning it into the worst track this year.

Misato Akasaka looked at the time and confirmed with the event staff.

"Now, please invite the participating horse racing ladies to enter the gate!"

Rong Jin Berlin from Gate 11, Dashu Express from Gate 1, Barbatos from Gate 7, and the other horse racing girls all entered the gates.

Even at Gate 11, Rong Jin Berlin couldn't help but look towards Gate 7. She was concentrating on running in the short-distance race and regarded the Big Tree Express as her biggest rival. Even if she valued Barbatos, she seemed to underestimate it.

Even when the Big Tree Express faced her, there seemed to be a huge gap between them.

Ordinary horse girls might think that Taiki Express is showing weakness to the enemy, but as an opponent in many races, Rong Jin Berlin knows that the usually optimistic and generous Taiki Express would not use such a strategy.

That is to say...

The shock of such information made her feel a little overwhelmed.

"preparation!"

There was a muffled sound of thunder, and the chaotic wind blew on Rong Jin Berlin's cheeks from different directions. The powerful momentum made her horrified. Two huge pressures emerged from Barbatos, and then she bit her lower lip hard. Under the powerful momentum, she could even hear her own heartbeat.

It's Barbatos's [Dual Domain]!

Rong Jin Berlin Iron Ingot, together with the trainers and teammates, studied videos of Barbatos' past games. There are also various analyses of Barbatos' strength by Void trainers on the Internet.

As expected, even Barbatos did not dare to be careless in this short-distance championship race under heavy rain, and used double domain right before the start of the game!

The red light in front of the gate is flashing.

The gate opened with a bang the next moment. Rong Jinbolin, as the third most popular horse racing girl in the G1 event, even though she was thinking about other things, she came to her senses the moment the gate opened and focused all her energy on the game in front of her, and rushed out the moment the gate opened.

"Barbatos! Barbatos burst out of the starting crowd in an instant. It was a perfect start!"

Akasaka Misato felt that the scene on the track looked familiar. "This kind of start is just like... just like Silent Suzuka!"

Saijiang Junko continued, "Barbatos used this starting method at the Takarazuka Kinen. However, Silent Suzuka, who also participated in the Takarazuka Kinen, was more familiar with the start, so many people didn't notice anything at the time."

Akasaka Misato suddenly realized, "So that's how it is... Huh???"

"The Big Tree Express player didn't use the usual strategy, but chose to follow Barbatos' pace."

“It’s not just the Big Tree Express, it’s also the case with Rong Jinberlin in the back.”

"This is also the only and best strategy when facing Barbatos, especially at short distances." Junko Hosoe agreed.

On the other side, Ling Shu was struggling. This was her first time watching a race from the commentary booth. It was a unique perspective, and she was a little excited. "After all, no one can handle Barbatos's sprinting ability. If he gets left behind before the final straight, I think no one, except a few of the legendary horse girls, will be able to catch him."

Lingshu did not mention the legendary horse racing girls, but rather several of the legendary horse racing girls. Some viewers understood the meaning of Lingshu's words.

Not all legends can withstand Barbatos's sprint. At least the Empress on the Takarazuka Kinen has lost her energy bar. Then the only legends who can catch up are probably Narita Hakujin, Good Opera, Maruzenski, Oguruma and the Emperor.

The ones before the Emperor are the strongest group of horse girls in the legend. They are legends among legends. This can be said to be a recognized fact.

Junko Hosoe said, "Yes, so when we watch Barbatos' games, we feel that every game is played at a very fast pace."

"What's more, this is a short distance."

This is something that is almost universally recognized by trainers, and is known to all G1 horse racing women. However, even if they know it, they cannot truly solve it, because that is the gap in hard power!

In just a few words from the commentary booth, all the horse racing women on the track had already run halfway through the race and were heading straight for the final straight.

Only halfway through the race, several G1 horse girls were already making "oyster" sounds.

Their bodies had begun to lose strength. It was not because they were unable to run a short distance of just over a thousand kilometers, but because they had followed the trainer's strategy and followed Barbatos closely from the beginning, even trying to overtake Barbatos and grab the leading position, so that they could have a chance of survival.

But now, just trying to keep up with Barbatos at a distance of five horse lengths has completely exhausted their physical strength.

The first half of the race was like a final race on the final straight in previous races, only this final straight was much longer than usual! Not to mention the poor surface today, preventing them from performing at even 8% of their potential!

As they fired the oysters, the already strong sense of oppression in front of them became even stronger. Before reaching the final straight line, Barbatos' speed increased several times!

Some of the G1 horse girls who were still gritting their teeth and persevering, when they felt even greater pressure and the desperate speed, obeyed their bodies' wishes, "Oyster~"

Still trying to keep the distance at five lengths, Rong Jinbolin felt exhausted. She used her last bit of strength to kick, but the two figures in front of her were getting farther and farther away. Barbatos's sprint? Just facing Barbatos's lead, she had already used all her strength!

Only at this moment did she truly understand what the G1 horse racing ladies faced at the Cherry Blossom Festival, Spring Royal Festival, Oaks Tournament, and Takarazuka Kinen.

Even if you have watched the video of Barbatos' game countless times before the game and your trainer has analyzed it countless times, when you really encounter it, all you will be left with is despair. This game has never been about strategy and experience, but about hard power from beginning to end.

Looking at Obana Kuririe, his biggest rival in the short-distance race, who was even closer to him, he opened and closed his mouth and silently said, "Keep going, Daiki."

The sound of "Oyster~" was heard.

The G1 horse girls rarely complain anymore, and they will grit their teeth and persevere even when they are exhausted. However, the despair before them makes them feel as if they have returned to the time when they first debuted and encountered opponents who could not surpass them.

"Barbatos is the first to enter the final straight line!"

"There's a gap of two and a half horse lengths between Runner Big Tree Express and Runner Barbatos! Runner Barbatos has sped up! The gap is widening!"

"The Big Tree Express is also speeding up! The gap! The gap is still widening!"

"300 meters to go! The Big Tree Express runner's speed has increased again. She still has a chance... The distance! The distance isn't getting any shorter!"

"Does the Big Tree Express still have a chance?!"

"There are only 100 meters left to the finish line! Distance! The distance remains unchanged!"

"Barbatos has crossed the finish line!"

Chapter 343: 7 championships achieved, 2 games left!

The rain soaked the winning suit, and the hair was wet and stuck to the cheeks.

Barbatos crossed the finish line without any breathlessness or sprinting at full speed. Running at this distance is just a warm-up for her now.

After crossing the finish line, she immediately looked towards the Rigil exclusive spectator seats. As teammates of the Big Tree Express, all the Rigil players were there to watch the game, including Rudolph, the symbol of the student union who was busy with affairs!

Barbatos stretched out his hand and raised four fingers towards the Rigil viewing seats in the rain.

Then the four fingers retracted and one became three!

It was raining heavily, and the audience who were far away only saw Barbatos stretching out his hand and bursting out cheers like the ocean, making the entire Zhongshan Racecourse boil!

The audience watching the live action could not see clearly for a while because of the heavy rain. Only the audience who were close to the finish line could see the action clearly, but they did not know what it meant.

Rudolf, the symbol in Rigil's exclusive audience seat, noticed Barbatos's actions and smiled slightly.

……

"The Big Tree Express crossed the finish line with a gap of 3 lengths!"

"Honored to serve in Berlin..."

After crossing the finish line, Dashu Express clenched his fists and looked at Barbatos in front of him. He felt that although he had given his all in this short-distance championship, even in the unfavorable conditions that he was good at, he still couldn't force Barbatos to give his all, which made him feel uncomfortable.

I can still vividly remember Barbatos's sprint in the simulation on the last day of summer camp...

Pursing her lips, she quickly suppressed her distressed expression, revealing her usual optimistic demeanor as she walked forward, "Xiaoba, congratulations, you've won your sixth G1."

Upon hearing this, Barbatos retracted his hand that had extended three fingers, and said, "Thank you!"

"Dashu, you are really strong. If it hadn't rained today, I wouldn't have won so easily."

She said seriously that even if Taiki Express was good at running in bad conditions on such rainy days, that was only compared with other horse girls. Other horse girls could perform at about 80%, while Taiki Express could only perform at 90%.

In a game, even a one percent fluctuation in strength can affect the outcome, let alone in this situation!

If it were normal weather, her and Daishu Express would be roughly equivalent in the short distance race to Silent Suzuka in the middle distance race, except that she is better at short distances and her running style is more restrained by Silent Suzuka.

If it was a sunny day, maybe she would really be forced to use her full strength by the Tree Express...?

It seems difficult...

Barbatos thought so.

After going through the trials and tribulations of the simulation competitions during the Natsusuku period, she can now almost walk sideways among the active horse girls. If she, Suzuka Silent, and Condor were at the top of the active pyramid before, now she can be said to have put a few chairs under her feet and a hammer in her hand, ready to overturn the top of the pyramid.

The British Shorthair can be said to be invincible, and it is difficult for her to lose in the middle and long distances. It still depends on the situation on the day of the competition. After all, the competition is not a simulation race where three or five people run.

This is also her assessment of her current level.

Of course, once Silent Suzuka completely masters the domain and Condor returns from the Arc de Triomphe, it’s hard to say how much stronger they will become, but now she is in the position of being challenged!

Big Tree Express nodded optimistically, "Then next time, next time I will make sure you, Xiaoba, use your full strength!"

It’s not that she doesn’t have a desire to win, but everything must be done step by step. She will also train hard, but the prerequisite for winning the game against Xiaoba is that he can give his all more than her.

The two of them were communicating.

Rong Jin Berlin, who had also crossed the finish line, widened his eyes and even couldn't believe his ears. Wasn't that Barbatos's full strength just now?

……

In the evening, although Rong Jin Berlin won the third place and lived up to her popularity, the big difference in horse length prevented her from participating in the winner's stage.

Barbatos and Big Tree Express sang and danced on the winner's stage, and the fans in the audience waved glow sticks to cheer for the two on the stage.

Fans who were not at the scene stayed in front of the live broadcast room, watching the winner's stage while looking at the posts on the forum discussing today's game, and actively participated in the chat. With the acceleration of overseas fans, Umamusume's event forum has installed advanced translation functions, which can translate to overseas, especially Chinese.

Although Chinese culture is extensive and profound, it can barely be considered enough for overseas friends to communicate.

The most discussed post in the forum was about Barbatos reaching out after crossing the finish line.

When watching the game, most of the audience did not notice it. Only some fans sitting nearby took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Combined with the live screen recording, it was found that Barbatos was not stretching his hand to respond to the audience, but raised four fingers and then retracted one.

So what does this mean?

There were all sorts of comments in the discussion thread, some even said Barbatos had cramps in his fingers after running.

Such an action really made them a little confused. If this competition was not a short-distance championship but the previous Japan Oaks Tournament, and the fingers were not four but two, they would understand that it meant that two championships had been won.

Because that's what Rudolph symbolism once did.

For a moment, this action left these Uma Musume fans puzzled and they didn't understand the meaning of Barbatos's action.

It wasn't until a month later, in late October, at the Kyoto Racecourse, that the last race of the Mares' Triple Crown - the Akika Sho.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Barbatos at the finish line stretched out three fingers towards the live camera. When everyone thought that this was Barbatos expressing that he had achieved the triple crown achievement, the three fingers were retracted into two.

Fans on the Internet who follow every game of Barbatos instantly thought of a possibility, recalling the pre-match interview of the Sprint Championship last month, in which she said that she wanted to challenge the Winter Dream Cup with nine consecutive G1 wins!

At that time, Barbatos was still 3 races away from winning the Sprint Championship, but now she has won the Autumn Flower Stakes and achieved the Triple Crown. Barbatos, who has won 7 G1s, is now only 2 away from that declaration, down from 3!

As this discussion arose, more attentive fans revisited the sprint championship.

I discovered that Barbatos wasn't extending his hand towards the live camera that time, but in that direction was Rigil's exclusive audience seats!

It can be said that this is a challenge to the legendary horse racing ladies!!!

…………

Xiaoke’s words: It is abrupt to end with the Sprint Championship and then skip directly to the Qiuhua Award, but there is no point in writing about the Qiuhua Award because it sounds like an adult playing a game with a child.

It's like writing about a short-distance championship, with Xia Su's section laid out, and everyone knows that Barbatos will definitely win.

So I chose to skip them. I will choose to write about one of Chrysanthemum and Tianqiu, and skip the other one. I will focus on writing about the Arc de Triomphe and the subsequent Japan Cup.
