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

Admittedly, it is not advisable to compare the strength shown by a newly debuted Uma Musume with one that debuted for a year and a half. Any rational person can analyze this, but no one present refuted it.

Although the Emperor of the East China Sea is a talented horse girl, and may be able to catch up with Special Zhou, Grasshopper, and Saint King Halo in the future, and may even become a legend, it is almost impossible for her to catch up with those four.

Nebula Sky's Undefeated Triple Crown, Condor's Arc de Triomphe Champion, Barbatos' URA Horse Girl of the Year, and Silent Suzuka, who was once as famous as Barbatos and Condor.

I just saw Northern Xuanju arguing hard, saying that the Emperor of the East China Sea was the strongest.

The people who gathered around no longer talked about Barbatos and others, and laughed and agreed with Northern Black Horse.

……

The other side.

Everyone in Canopus gathered around Ulala, who was holding a mobile phone and making a video call.

The video shows Barbatos and Nebula Sky far away in the United States. "Should it be okay?"

Barbatos touched his nose. "It's well known that grass is different in every country. We've only been in the US for a short time, so we're definitely not used to it. It wouldn't be fair to run against the G1 monsters. It's normal to start with G3 first."

"And Silent Suzuka's performance is much more exaggerated than what I, the world number one, did."

On this side of the video, except for Twin Turbine and Ulala who were happily chatting with Barbatos and the others, the corners of Minamisaka and others' mouths twitched uncontrollably.

What Barbatos said seemed to make sense, but what he did was a bit too exaggerated.

The horse girls who went to the United States are all at the top of the world. Except for Barbatos, who is currently recognized as the world's number one, Condor and the others are also horse girls at the same level as the American kings, but they ended up participating in the American G3 level competition.

Not only did he participate in the G3 level competition, but Barbatos was more than 50 lengths ahead of the second place. Because of the time difference, when Minamisaka saw the competition video the next day, he almost felt that Barbatos would be deported to Japan.

With Barbatos in the lead, the others seemed to be competing to see who could pull off a bigger gap, especially Silent Suzuka, who was over 70 lengths ahead of the second place. It was said that Spica's trainer Okino had already received a reprimand from the racing committee.

Who could have imagined that when the first place crossed the finish line, the second place had not even made it through the third turn!

PS: In reality, there are real cases where the lead is more than 50 horse lengths. It is not too much to say that Silent Suzuka, who is second only to Barbatos, is more than 70 horse lengths ahead of G3 Uma Musume.

Chapter 359 The Year of Barbatos' Absence

bar.

Two men and one woman, three people sat at the bar's service counter and ordered a glass of wine each.

"Ahua, you see, I said at the beginning that Te Bie Zhou was a rough diamond." Spica trainer Chongye rarely took the lollipop out of his mouth, and there was an even more high-spirited look between his brows.

Tojo Hana looked at him speechlessly. As they had worked together for many years, he naturally knew what kind of person he was. Perhaps Tebi Zhou's current performance alone would not make him so proud. It was just that Tebi Zhou had participated in Rigil's team entrance test, but lost to Shenying and was unable to enter Rigil, but was poached by him and joined Spica.

At that time, Okino still vowed to her that Tebie Zhou was a rough diamond.

Without rebutting, Tojo Hana picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Special Zhou is indeed a gem in the rough."

Last year's Special Week ended with nothing in the G1 level races, but this year she has won the Emperor's Shooting Championships for spring and autumn. She also defeated Mejiro McQueen, who is also a Spica and is best at long distances, by 3 lengths in the Spring Emperor's Shooting Championships. She has also won many other G2 level races.

"But she didn't seem to beat Xiaocao, did she?"

Okino's original high-spirited look disappeared, and he couldn't help but hold his forehead. It felt like Teju Zhou was born to be dominated by Kusagami Hiji. Whether it was last year's Arima Kinen or this year's Takarazuka Kinen, Teju Zhou always felt that he had a chance to win the championship in every game, but he always lost to Kusagami Hiji by a hair's breadth. "Don't talk about this. I helped to think of a countermeasure, but there was no way he could do anything against Kusagami Hiji."

Especially Zhou and Cao Shangfei, they are simply natural enemies, like one thing can defeat the other.

Unwilling to dwell on this topic, Okino changed the subject, "If Emperor wins the upcoming Chrysanthemum Sangaku, it will complete her dream of winning three championships without a loss."

In the Satsuki Award, Emperor Donghai tied for first place with Excellent Quality. In the Japanese Derby, Emperor Donghai showed amazing talent and the terrifying explosive power of his flexible body, surpassing Excellent Quality before the finish line to take first place.

"Nanban, chrysanthemum appreciation, the emperor will win."

"what?"

Nanban was stunned when his name was mentioned. He stopped typing on his phone and turned it over on the bar table. "I have confidence in her quality. I believe in her."

Before that, he was chatting with Excellent Quality, discussing more details about the chrysanthemum appreciation, how to deal with various emergencies, what they were doing together, and what they had eaten in the evening...

Uh.

For a moment, Nansaka didn't know why he turned his phone over and put it on the bar. Maybe it was because he felt guilty?

Originally, he and Tojo Hana were not very close, but it was because of Barbatos that they became more familiar with each other. Now, because there are horse girls in the team of three who have gone to the United States, they occasionally come out together to eat or drink.

Tojo Hana looked at the two of them. Because of the Emperor of the East China Sea and his excellent qualities, she was naturally closer to him. If it weren't for that guy Okino crossing his legs, the Emperor of the East China Sea would have been the horse girl of their Rigil.

However, if one looks at the Chrysanthemum Award from a trainer's perspective, she believes that those with excellent qualities have a greater chance of winning.

The Chrysanthemum Shooting Competition is a long-distance event, and it is not as long as the Arima Kinen. It requires extremely strict physical exertion and timing. The East Sea Emperor's talent is absolutely outstanding, but long-distance events are a field she has never touched, right?

"Hey~"

"Not to mention the chrysanthemum viewing, Nanzaka, Barbatos and the others should be back by the end of the year, right?"

Finally, Tojo Hana couldn't help asking this question. Nebula Sky's ban would essentially be lifted after the Japan Cup, and they would most likely return to Japan to participate in the Arima Kinen.

Although she had never objected to sending her horse girls abroad to compete, this time Kodaka and the others...

The three people, including Tojo Hana, would often be under pressure from the racing committee. There was no problem in participating in overseas competitions, but if they took all the top spots in other people's competitions overseas and took away their crowns one by one, it would be a slap in the face of the other horse racing community.

Barbatos, Condor, Nebula Sky, Silent Suzuka, and Holy King Halo, these five guys almost all staggered their participation in G1-level events and almost monopolized the G1 championship in the United States.

Although Condor and her team do not have a 100% chance of winning against the American champion, they have already won 80% of the G1 events in the United States this year, and there are countless G2-level events, especially Barbatos, who can be said to have captured a large part of the American fans.

The almost overwhelming invincible strength, frequent participation in competitions, and invincible posture make it hard for American fans not to like him.

To use the words on the Internet, there is a kind of "numerical" beauty.

But the problem is, American audiences will like it, and American horse racing women will be satisfied, but the American racing committee is already being strict with the Japanese racing committee, and their trainers are also under pressure.

Even with such developments, the Japanese horse racing community quickly reformed, supporting rescue during races and no longer listing it as a violation. Even not just the American racing committee, many racing committees have implicitly promised not to engage in physical collisions when participating in international competitions.

Although Tojo Hana and the others were happy to see this happen, the pressure was also unprecedentedly great.

"Ah."

Nansaka nodded in affirmation, "Barbatos has asked me to sign her up for the Arima Kinen, so they'll be back at the end of the year."

"Have you signed up?"

However, when they heard the news, Tojo Hana was stunned, and Okino was also stunned. They had guessed that Barbatos and others would return to the country to participate in the Arima Kinen at the end of the year, but neither Condor nor Suzuka signed up for the Arima Kinen.

There seems to be only one reason, that is, Condor and Silent Suzuka understand the gap between them and Barbatos.

Horse racing girls like these won't lose confidence or motivation to catch up because of the gap, but are they preparing for the Winter Dream Cup after the Arima Kinen?!

This will give them more time to prepare than Barbatos.

……

United States.

Titus felt that her worldview was impacted. At this moment, she was in a closed private indoor base, looking at Barbatos in shock.

Her teammates Fuma and Taiga had similar expressions.

After more interactions with Barbatos and the others, and after Fuma took the initiative to apologize to Silent Suzuka, the relationship between them was pretty good.

Before Barbatos and his companions came to the United States, they had already fought against him again and understood how powerful Barbatos was. They understood that Barbatos was an invincible opponent, but...

Across from Barbatos, the tall, powerful-looking horsewoman spoke generously, "I lost."

But who would have thought that even the most powerful horse girl in American history, the legendary horse girl with a similar name to Japan's Rudolph, Jonias, would lose in this private match?

Chapter 360: Triple Crown Uma Girl

In October, the autumn wind dispels the scorching heat and chrysanthemums bloom in the fields.

Kyoto Racecourse.

The two young men sat in the front row of the audience along with two small horse racing girls, Kitamoto Genju and Satomi Mitsuzuna.

Because she was still young, Kita no Xuanju's two little feet couldn't touch the ground while she was sitting in the audience. Her two feet were swinging with unprecedented excitement. As long as she won this Chrysanthemum Contest, Miss Emperor would be the undefeated horse racing girl with three championships!

Moreover, unlike the Satsuki Sho, the number of people coming to watch the Kikuka Sho is almost full, with only a few empty seats left. Many horse racing enthusiasts come to watch the last stop of this classic triple crown to cheer for the Emperor of the East China Sea and his excellent quality.

This also made Beibu Xuanju very happy. He had an uncontrollable joy on his face, and even raised his head slightly with some pride to look at the two young men.

The two young men were the ones who discussed behind them during the Satsuki Shogi event that Miss Emperor was not as good as Barbatos and others last year. Later, they met by chance at the Japan Derby, and they got in touch and agreed to watch the game together at the Kikuka Shogi event.

"Look, the auditorium is almost full~"

Beibu Xuanju didn't say it explicitly, but the joy and excitement in his words could not be concealed.

Both young men understood what Beifang Xuanju meant. They remembered that they had said that the audience seats for Barbatos' games were always full. This was the gap between the Emperor of the East China Sea and Barbatos now. They didn't expect that Beifang Xuanju would still remember that casual remark.

There were only a few empty seats left in the audience of the Chrysanthemum Festival, which really showed that the audience recognized the strength and excellent qualities of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

But... the spectator stands were full during Barbatos' matches because they could only hold so many people.

However, none of them said this out loud. After watching many of East Sea Emperor's games and being influenced by Northern Black Horse, they also fell in love with East Sea Emperor as a horse girl and were not stingy with their support.

If the East Sea Emperor had participated in the Triple Crown last year, her name would have been added to the Golden Generation, and her winner's stage would have looked like a real treat.

In addition, McQueen, who lost the Spring Emperor Award, is also not bad.

Even though they lost to Special Week, they were still better than the other horse girls. They all felt that Spica had found a treasure.

The situation of "two super, many strong, many ordinary" horse girls like in Canopus is very common, but Spica and Rigil are simply elite.

Both young men wondered if all the Spica members who hadn't debuted yet were geniuses, or if Spica's trainer Okino was truly a genius trainer.

While a few people were chatting, the game was about to begin.

When the Emperor of the East China Sea, Excellent Quality and others stepped into the gate, Northern Black Horse had already jumped off his seat and pounced onto the railing. The two young men on the seat were already accustomed to this.

The gates opened and the race ladies took off.

"What do you think is the probability of the Emperor of the East China Sea winning the Chrysanthemum Award?" the young man asked his companion in a low voice.

It would be better if this discussion was not heard by Northern Xuanju. They did not think that Northern Xuanju supported the East Sea Emperor, and that there was nothing wrong with the East Sea Emperor winning. It was just that they could easily be influenced by Northern Xuanju and become irrational and support the East Sea Emperor.

"There are only a handful of horse racing girls in history who have achieved the Triple Crown, and they are the ones we are most familiar with."

The slightly plump young man with glasses offered his professional yet shrewd opinion. "Barbatos and Nebula Sky appeared simultaneously last year, but that doesn't mean the Triple Crown achievement is easy. Historical data shows that the East Sea Emperor's chances of winning are only 30%."

He has a thorough understanding of the game and plans to apply for a tournament commentary position once he finishes his studies.

"Come on, Miss Emperor!"

Northern Black Horse, who was lying on the railing, cheered like a dragon roaring, and the East China Sea Emperor on the field happened to pass by the position in front of her audience.

Infected by her cheers and the cheers from the people around them, the two young men, including Satomi Mitsuzumi, stopped discussing the game and focused all their attention on the field, paying close attention to the developments on the field.

The one leading the way is excellent, and the pace becomes very fast behind her.

Leading the release is not the running style that Excellent Quality is best at, but it is the running style that Nanban and she analyzed together that is most suitable for chrysanthemum viewing.

Having experienced last year's competition, even if she is not good at leading, her understanding of leading is no worse than that of the escape horses that debuted this year. Leading was a compulsory course in last year's G1 event, otherwise she might not even be able to catch up with the person in front, or there would be no hope of the top three at all.

In the Japanese derby, the East China Sea Emperor lost despite having excellent quality but was slightly inferior in the final round.

Now, she will be the one leading the Chrysanthemum Appreciation. When it comes to the final straight line, she will be able to suppress the last leg of the East China Sea Emperor with the difference in horse length. What's more, the East China Sea Emperor has no experience in Chrysanthemum Appreciation and may even be disrupted by her leading!

The Emperor of the East China Sea is really powerful. Although it may sound like boasting, the Emperor of the East China Sea is like her nemesis in a sense.

Feeling the abundant physical strength, "I can do it!"

After passing the third bend and about to pass the fourth bend, the Emperor of the East China Sea seized the opportunity and exerted force with her unique "Emperor Dance" posture, and her light body jumped out at this moment.

"?"

The unusual feeling made her heart tighten. She felt that her acceleration at this moment was no longer as powerful and fast as in the previous Satsuki Shogi and Japan Derby. It was as if her legs were carrying weights and became a little slow.

The distance to the excellent quality ahead has not been shortened much.

"male……"

She suppressed the instinctive sound her body was about to make: the desire for victory, the admiration for the president, the wish to win the triple crown without a loss...

All these factors did not allow her to lose control here.

However, the gap between the present and the excellent quality is like a chasm, and the final straight distance seems to become extremely far away.

Even though Okino had asked her to run long distances every day, the feeling in a real long-distance race was completely different. The control of timing was completely different from that in previous middle-distance races.

"I do not want!"

The Emperor of the East China Sea gritted her teeth and told herself not to slow down. She still wanted to compete with McQueen and Senior Xiao Te at the Arima Kinen, and also participate in this year's Winter Dream Cup to let the president see how powerful she is!

Red flames like a phoenix overflowed from her body, and her pupils exploded in an instant.

At this moment, the world is still and stagnant in the eyes of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Without paying attention to the situation of the other horse girls in the audience, the Emperor of the East Sea only had the finish line in his eyes.

……
