The day before the Gaoyue Sho competition, after the first round of training, Mejiro McQueen walked up to Higashino Chihiro and asked, “Has something happened to her recently?”

She didn’t see Mejiro Dobo yesterday. Although she was puzzled, she guessed that he might have gone home to report the good news, after all, he had just won the cherry blossom viewing event.

But he hasn’t shown up today, which is a little unusual. Dober doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would be proud and complacent.

“Don’t worry, I’ve asked Maruzen and Aldan to give her some guidance these past two days. A strong desire for victory is a good thing…

But she has gone astray. Let her seniors help her out. She will come to watch your competition tomorrow.”

Although I don’t quite understand what it means, I think Dober needs to adjust himself mentally.

“You should focus on your match tomorrow, Mejiro Ryan and Enis Fengshen… Although you won against him in the Yayoi Sho, remember not to underestimate him because of that.”

He was still relatively relieved about Mejiro McQueen, even though she was a bit crazy at times and didn’t look like a lady at all…

But when it comes to serious matters, he is still very reliable and will face every opponent with full concentration.

“I will do my best to win the championship!”

Dober had already won the first of his three crowns, so she couldn’t fall behind. As a horse girl from the Mejiro family…

As a member of the Surpass team, Mejiro McQueen’s pride and desire for victory are no less than Dober’s.

“I am determined to win the first of the Classic Triple Crown. No matter who my opponent is, I will win!”

Chapter 149: The Glory of Mejiro

The next day, Gaoyue Shang officially opened.

It wasn’t sunny or rainy today, and there was an occasional refreshing breeze, which was great.

“Wow…McQueen has already started challenging the Triple Crown. I’m so envious. I also want to start challenging the Triple Crown, and then win the Undefeated Triple Crown and achieve the same accomplishment as the president did at that time.”

The Emperor of the East Sea followed his trainer and stood in the audience. Looking at Mejiro McQueen warming up on the grass field, he suddenly thought of something, “If McQueen wins the Gaoyue Sho, and then wins the Japan Derby and the Kikuka Sho, would that mean he has won three championships without a loss?”

“Yeah, why, do you still hope that McQueen will fail in the challenge?”

The Emperor of the East China Sea pouted his lips and looked at Chihiro Higashino with dissatisfaction, “I’m not so petty. If McQueen can win the Undefeated Triple Crown, of course I’ll be happy. This way, both of us can become Undefeated Triple Crown winners, and then we can compete in the Emperor’s Prize in the spring of the following year!”

Reaching out and rubbing the head of the East China Sea Emperor, Higashino Chihiro did not say anything.

This is naturally the most ideal scenario, but whether they can achieve it depends on themselves.

Strength and luck are both indispensable.

In this year’s Gaoyue Award, Mejiro McQueen is still the most popular, Enis Wind God is the second most popular, and Mejiro Ryan is the third most popular.

As the horn sounded, the gate was pushed onto the pasture, and the most popular player, Mejiro McQueen, was the first to walk into the gate.

This time, her luck was not very good. When she was drawing the number, she drew fifteen, which was the outermost number. Mu Bailai’s number was not very good either. She was thirteen, which was the same type as her.

As for Enis the Windgod, this time the horse gate is in the first and second place, which is very suitable for a horse girl like her.

After all the horse girls entered the gates, the staff began the final inspection to ensure that all the gates could be opened at the same time.

“Even though I’m away from home, victory will definitely be mine!”

Taking a deep breath, Mebai McQueen stared closely at the gate in front of her… When the gate became a little loose, she began to exert force with her feet and rushed out smoothly when the gate opened.

Higashino Chihiro held a telescope and watched Mejiro McQueen’s quick and neat exit. She nodded and said, “Today’s exit was quite good. It seems that he is in good shape.”

After leaving the gate, Mejiro McQueen moved towards the inner lane. She wanted to try to maintain her favorite leading running method and see if she could grab a better position.

However, probably because the track was really far back this time, McQueen finally decided to use the differential line and stabilized his position in sixth place at the first turn.

However, Enis, the wind god who was using the leading position, did not insist on it this time. He chose to give up the leading position in the competition and gave it to the horse girl who had been competing with him for the leading position.

Ryan Mejiro was in 17th place at the first turn, a very far back position.

However, it can be seen that Mejiro Ryan is slowly moving his position forward to facilitate his final sprint.

“The competition has now entered a relatively stable state. Ennis Fengshen is still in second place, keeping a close eye on the lead. The most popular player, Mejiro McQueen, is now in the fifth position on the inside, and Mejiro Ryan is in the thirteenth position behind…”

Because the leading horses did not widen the gap…so until the fourth turn, the entire herd will be in a relatively stable state, and there will not be a situation where any one of them suddenly accelerates and rushes to the front.

“The odds are stacked against McQueen.”

Ennis the Wind God is not in the lead here, nor has he widened the distance with McQueen, so it is not difficult for him to catch up. As for Ryan, his position is too far back.

Although her last kick is very strong, Chihiro Higashino also has strong confidence in her own McQueen. He does not think that Ryan Mejiro can catch up with McQueen.

“The third turn is almost over, and we’re about to enter the fourth turn… Which horse girl will be the first to accelerate?”

At this time, all the audience fixed their eyes firmly on the horse girls Mejiro McQueen, Enis Fengshen and Mejiro Ryan… If things go as expected, the highlights of this Gaoyue Sho will still be on these horse girls.

“My sisters are all looking at me. For the sake of everyone in the orphanage, and to make my sisters’ lives better, I can’t lose!”

“Ennis the Wind God took the lead and began to speed up. She came to the leading position and her speed continued to increase. Following Ennis the Wind God’s move, the horse girls behind her began to speed up their paces one after another.”

After the fourth turn, Mejiro McQueen was in the seventh position…but after seeing Ennis the Wind God start to accelerate, in order not to be left behind, she naturally chose to accelerate at this time.

This is a defensive battle. Now that Ryan’s position is unknown, what he needs to keep an eye on is the horse girl Enis the Wind God. He must not let her distance herself from him.

“The competitors have reached the final straight line. Ennis Fengshen is still in the lead. Mejiro McQueen is now accelerating from the inside circle… Meanwhile, Mejiro Ryan is not to be outdone on the outside.”

The biggest challenge in the Gaoyue Sho is the last 200 meters of the uphill section. Many horse girls are not good at climbing uphill, which leads to them being overtaken by the horse girls behind them and thus losing their hope of winning.

When Chihiro Higashino trained Mejiro McQueen, the uphill skill was naturally indispensable… Although her uphill skills were not as good as the rice bath and the beautiful posture, they were definitely not bad.

“Mejiro McQueen is catching up from the inside! Can Ennis Fengshen hold on? Now we are only 100 meters away from the final victory!”

The Wind God Ennis was also anxious when he heard the hurried footsteps coming from behind him.

“I absolutely cannot lose! My sisters are watching me!”

“I must win the first of the classic three crowns. I will show the glory of the Mejiro family!”

The two horse girls were like shooting stars, quickly crossing the last 100 meters, but there was only one winner.

“GOALING! The game is over!”

From the commentary’s perspective, it was not clear who won in the end… However, the information that soon appeared on the big screen told them directly, “The winning horse girl of this Gaoyue Sho has been born. She is the horse girl from the famous Mejiro family, Mejiro McQueen!”

Seeing the words “winning by neck” displayed on the big screen, Mebai McQueen breathed a sigh of relief and happily waved to the audience, thanking everyone for their support…

stand by.

The defeated Ennis Wind God clenched his fists, then loosened them, lowered his head, and slowly left the arena…

Chapter 150 Common Goal

The successive endings of the Sakura Viewing and Gaoyue Viewing also mean that all the G1 competitions that Chihiro Higashino has been following in April have come to an end.

“Well… I don’t know what method Aldan and the others used, but you give me a better feeling.”

Although there was no proper training in the past two days, Chihiro Higashino felt that the effect was quite good. At least he believed that this subtle change in attitude would be better for Dober’s future.

This is not only of great help to her in her horse racing career, but will also be a great help even after she retires, goes to university and enters society.

“I was a little too extreme before, but my desire for victory has not diminished in the slightest.”

In the past two days, under the instruction of her sister and Maruzen-senpai… as well as the guidance of some other seniors, she gradually understood this truth.

Before, she was worried that if she lost, her fans would be disappointed and would no longer support her, and she was also worried about disappointing her trainers.

Now, although she still cares about winning or losing, what matters more is that she wants to win for herself, rather than having to win for anyone in particular.

Fans will not be disappointed in Uma Musume because of a single defeat. As long as they have run as hard as they can, winning or losing is not that important to them.

Just like senior Haru Ulala, from July of the previous year to now, she has participated in an undefeated competition every month, and each time ended in defeat.

But she tried her best to run every time. Her spirit of fighting again and again despite failures moved many people and resonated with many people…So now, Haru Ulala-senpai has no fewer fans than the average G1 horse girl.

Even in terms of cohesion, Chun Ulala’s fans are unprecedentedly united.

Although they would not watch every one of her games, they would send their blessings before and after each game, even if Chun Ulala lost again.

As for the trainers, there is even less to worry about.

For Chihiro Higashino, fulfilling their dreams is always the top priority, and winning or losing is not that important.

“If a horse girl loses her desire to win, then there is no need for her to be a horse girl. It would be more appropriate for her to be an ordinary horse girl.”

Seeing that Higashino Chihiro was still trying to preach, Mebai Dober stepped forward, gently put his hand on his cheek and pushed him, “Stop talking nonsense and quickly teach me how to train. I haven’t trained for two days.”

“Okay, I feel really sorry for myself. You have to force me to work on my day off…”

But in his heart he was still very happy to do this, because she was his future daughter-in-law.

In May, apart from the Mejiro sisters’ Oaks Stakes and the Japan Derby, there is also the Victoria Mile in which Wonderful Posture will participate. The other racehorse ladies either have no races or are competing in the G2 or G3 jackpot races.

During this period, Cao Shangfei also talked to him, mainly discussing the Emperor’s Award in the second half of the year, the Japan Cup, and the Arima Memorial.

The reason why the issues of these events are mainly discussed is because Fei Cao Shangfei also wants to become a hall of fame horse racing girl with her name left in the history of horse racing.

If that accident hadn’t happened, there would have been a great chance for Cao Shangfei to become a Hall of Fame horse…

Another powerful rival who almost overlaps with her, Condor, is determined to go to Europe to participate in the Arc de Triomphe, which gives her a greater opportunity.

However, that injury caused her to miss the Yayoi Sho, Satsuki Sho, and Japan Derby, which really affected her rating in the Hall of Fame.

It is precisely because of this that if Cao Shangfei wants to qualify for the Hall of Fame, he needs to participate in more competitions and win.

As for which competition can add high points, it is of course G1…especially the Emperor’s Prize, Japan Cup, Arima Kinen and other competitions which are all very important in G1.

“Xiao Cao can now challenge the Autumn Triple Crown and be selected successfully. He can also win consecutive G1-level victories only if he participates frequently and has a very high winning rate.”

There are four hall of famers in the team. Maruzenski is an undefeated triple crown winner… Mejiro Altan has two mare crowns and has won the Arima Kinen race, Oguri is because he sparked a new horse racing craze, and Tamamo Cross has won consecutive championships in the Spring and Autumn Seasons and many G1 victories.

It is not easy to challenge the Autumn Triple Crown. It is equivalent to participating in high-intensity competitions and winning every month in the last three months.

The horse girls participating in these competitions are all strong, so it is very difficult to win.

Of course, it is precisely because of the high difficulty that the hall appears less frequently and its value appears high.

“We can only take it one step at a time. Bourbon and Miyu will both participate in the Takarazuka Festival in June. Whether we can win against them depends on Xiaocao herself… After all, Bourbon and Miyu also want to qualify for the Hall of Fame.”

As for who has the best chance of winning the Hall of Fame, Chihiro Higashino thought carefully and decided that Wonderful Posture is basically a sure win. In this year’s Hall of Fame horse evaluation, more than 90% will select Wonderful Posture as the Hall of Fame.

Then there is Miura Bourbon, although I lost in the chrysanthemum viewing…

Although we have not won the triple crown without losing, we have won the first two titles. If we can win the Arima Kinen and Japan Cup later, we will have hope.

After that it was Mejiro Dober and Mejiro McQueen.

It can be said that Mejiro McQueen is only one step away from the hall of fame, which is the Japan Derby. Chihiro Higashino believes that she has more than 90% chance of winning the Kikuka Sho. The final challenge is the Japan Derby. As long as she wins, she will be safe unless there are any injuries before the Kikuka Sho.

Mejiro Dober still has to look forward to the Autumn Flower Award after the Oaks Tournament, but judging by Dober’s performance, even if he loses one of the games, there is a great possibility that he will win the Hall of Fame later on.

“Everyone wants to get into the Hall of Fame, but there are only so many competitions every year. There are only a few that can improve your Hall of Fame score and are suitable for you. The overlap rate is too high, and some people will definitely be left out…”

Plus, with new horse girls joining every year, senior-level competitions are extremely difficult.

“These past few years are truly the golden age, with excellent and powerful horse girls emerging one after another… You must not only be prepared to challenge your predecessors, but also be prepared to be challenged by your juniors.”

After sorting out a pile of information, Higashino Chihiro stretched and looked out the window.

At this moment, he was also very much looking forward to the future, wanting to see… which horse girl could withstand all this pressure and become the new generation of the hall of fame?

Chapter 151: Victory

“What happened? It seems like you are not in a good mood today?”

In Chihiro Higashino’s office, Chihiro Higashino looked at Minamisaka who was sitting on the sofa opposite her holding a glass of juice.

At this moment, he frowned slightly, lowered his head and said nothing, which made Higashino Chihiro a little worried.

“Nothing. In fact, it should be a very happy event… It’s just that I got such a surprising news all of a sudden, and I’m a little slow to react now.”

“What happy event?”

It couldn’t be a happy event at work. If there wasn’t any unusual news about the poetry and drama recently, then it was family news. If it was a happy event, then it was…

Seeing Chihiro Tono looking at him with wide eyes, Nansaka smiled and nodded: “Yes, Iwae is pregnant.”

“When I got the news, I was very happy and wanted to go see her right away… But she is not in Tokyo now, and I still have to train them for the poetry drama, so I can’t leave right now.”

Higashino Chihiro sat down next to Nanzaka and asked curiously, “Is that why Iwae is angry? Otherwise, I’ll help you take care of him for a day?”

Nansaka waved her hand and said, “Thank you, but no thanks. Iwae is very understanding and told me to work hard and not to delay their training for the poetry drama and affect their future.”

“Just after the surprise, I felt a little confused. Am I really ready to be a father? Do I have the ability to accompany him and help him grow up healthily and happily?”

Higashino Chihiro couldn’t give an answer to this doubt. He himself hadn’t reached this stage yet, so how could he answer Minamisaka?

“By the way, Dongye, when are you going to have a baby with Maruzenski and the others?”

“I’m not considering it in the short term. Although I didn’t say I’ll wait until they graduate from college, it’s too early now. It will be a little later.”
