While waving the glow sticks with both hands, Higashino Chihiro spoke to Maruzenski beside her. "Hehe, Torenasan, don't worry, I will definitely bring you victory." Maruzenski blinked his eyes, and he was also looking forward to the game the day after tomorrow... She couldn't wait to win again on the field where Aldan Mejiro won today, adding another trophy to the trainer's office collection. "Cross the finish line! Maruzenski has won the Chrysanthemum Shooting! Triple Crown Horse Girl! Triple Crown Horse Girl! The undefeated Triple Crown Horse Girl is born again! She is Maruzenski from the Surpass team!" The commentator at the commentary booth was almost going crazy and almost couldn't catch his breath. He stopped talking, supported the commentary desk with both hands, and spoke after a long while: "Maruzenski won the Chrysanthemum Award by a margin of five horse lengths!" “Although it’s a little less than the horse lengths she led in the previous races, this is a 3000-meter chrysanthemum reward.” "Before the competition started, many people were dissatisfied with Maruzenski's forced participation in the Chrysanthemum Festival... Because Maruzenski has shown absolute dominance in previous mile races and middle-distance races, and has never participated in long-distance races. "
"Everyone has been worried about the adaptability issue, but the end of this game... was the strongest and most favorable response given by Maruzenski and Higashino trainer, who had always been questioned by them." "Maruzenski, won the Triple Crown, Gaoyue Sho, Japan Derby, and Kikuka Sho. She was undefeated before, becoming the second horse girl in Japanese history to win the Triple Crown!" Maruzenski's victory today was even more eye-catching than Mejiro Aldan's victory the day before yesterday. Today, all the fans who love horse racing chose to come to the scene to watch the game as much as possible. For those who really cannot come, they will find ways to use their mobile phones or computers, or directly find a large TV on the street to watch. Even many overseas horse racing enthusiasts and many well-known overseas horse racing girls are paying attention to this game. "Won!" Higashino Chihiro rarely lost her mind and hugged Mejiro Altan and others excitedly. The undefeated triple crown horse girl is the lifelong goal of many trainers. However, in her second year as a trainer, Higashino Chihiro achieved such an achievement with her fledgling team. Trainers including Minamisaka, Kuronuma, Okino Koji, Haruchi Ryoka, etc. who were standing next to Chihiro Higashino, stretched out their hands to offer their blessings to Maruzenski and also to Chihiro Higashino. There was a hint of envy in their eyes, an undefeated triple crown... Even the always lazy Okino Koji regarded this as his dream. Even now, he just buried this wish deep in his heart. Being an undefeated triple crown trainer is also an honor, and his name will surely appear in the history of horse racing. Putting down the Tamamo Cross that jumped onto her, Higashino Chihiro said, "I'm going to the contestant channel to greet our triple champion. Do you want to come with me?" "Yes, yes, yes, we want to go too! We want to go and welcome Maruzen-senpai!" Chapter 15 Winter Appreciation Tournament At the contestant channel, Maruzenski, who had just finished circling the field and waving a salute, was somewhat surprised to see everyone there when he walked back into the contestant channel. If it was just that Higashino Chihiro who showed up here alone, she wouldn't be surprised at all... But everyone in the team should appear in the passage together to welcome her victorious return, right? "Our undefeated triple crown champion is back, please give us a round of applause." As Higashino Chihiro said this in a teasing tone...
The horse racing ladies in the team gave Maruzenski their applause again. "thank you all." Higashino Chihiro originally wanted to say something else, but Tamamo Cross and Oguruma rushed up and pulled Maruzenski to ask questions. He just smiled and reminded them not to delay too long, because he would take Maruzenski to a press conference later. This press conference was packed with people, from newspapers of all sizes... Even official reporters from Japan and reporters from other countries came to attend this press conference. It is precisely because there are so many people that Maruzenski's achievement this time is so great... So the Horse Racing Association discussed with Chihiro Higashino to extend the time of the press conference, and he agreed. Because this is a great opportunity to improve Maruzenski's international reputation... If Maruzenski is interested in participating in competitions abroad in the future... Then such an international version of the press conference will provide her with great convenience. What Higashino Chihiro didn't expect was that at this press conference, many reporters asked him questions... I wanted to ask him how he felt as a horse girl trainer who had won one of Japan's greatest honors, the Undefeated Triple Crown, just two years after his debut. Fortunately, after participating in many press conferences over the past year, Higashino Chihiro is quite adept at dealing with these reporters, although she is not a perfect expert. The press conference, which was originally scheduled to last half an hour, lasted for more than an hour. It was only after the people from the Racing Association saw that Maruzenski and Higashino Chihiro were both obviously tired that they decided to end it... Otherwise, Chihiro Higashino estimated that those enthusiastic reporters below would be able to keep him and Maruzenski chatting until tomorrow morning. After Maruzenski's triple crown, more and more people applied to the academy to interview Maruzenski, but they were all rejected by Chihiro Higashino. After all, the press conference had just ended, and neither he nor Maruzenski wanted to accept any more interviews in the short term. Moreover, he now has to prepare for Sakura Chiyoou's Arima Kinen, as well as the matches between Tamamo Cross, Oguruma and others. He really doesn't want to spare any energy to deal with those difficult reporters. However, some of his friends asked him if he could help get a signed photo of Maruzenski and others. Higashino Chihiro did not refuse. Maru... Shansky did not refuse, after all, there were only a few photos. At a previous fan meeting, she signed hundreds of tickets in one go, and her hands were sore from signing. As for the competition between Mejiro Altan and Maruzenski after the Autumn Flower Award and the Chrysanthemum Award, Chihiro Higashino and the others decided not to participate in the competition this year, and to focus on major competitions such as the Spring Emperor's Award, Autumn Emperor's Award, Yasuda Memorial, and Takarazuka Memorial next year. Therefore, the two horse girls, Altan Mejiro and Maruzenski, had a long period of adjustment... Before December, Chihiro Higashino let them train on their own, which was also a relaxation after the exciting classic competition. Time passed quickly, and not long after Maruzenski's Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival ended, it was time for this year's Japan Cup. In this Japan Cup, there is actually a lot of support for Maruzenski... Everyone hopes to see Maruzenski appear in the Japan Cup and defend the World G1 trophy for Japan again. But unfortunately, due to some regulations, Maruzenski was unable to participate in the Japan Cup. However, even if she could participate, Chihiro Higashino did not recommend Maruzenski to participate... After all, the failure symbolized by Rudolph last year was still yesterday, and Chihiro Higashino did not want to take the risk. CB representative Chiaki did not participate in this year's Japan Cup...but Rudolph symbolically decided to stand on the stage of the Japan Cup once again.
This time, Rudolph was in very good form. He surpassed one strong opponent after another in the final straight line and finally won the Japan Cup. It was also a response to last year's defeat and the disappointment of his fans. "Rudolph is still very powerful. I really want to compete with her on the track!" Hearing Maruzenski's words, Higashino Chihiro smiled and said, "After the Arima Memorial in December, there is a great chance that you and Aldan will have a match with Rudolf Symbol." The competition he was talking about was not a formal competition held by the Horse Racing Association, but a friendly thank-you competition that was more of an entertainment purpose... At the end of each year, all fans who love horse racing vote to select their eighteen favorite horse racing girls. After being selected, these horse girls will compete in a 2400-meter grass race at the Kyoto Racecourse at the end of December for their supporters. As for why it is 2400 meters, it is because the participating horse girls are selected from those who are adaptable to middle distances... because based on previous experience, the probability of being selected for those who are adaptable to middle distances is much greater. The last time Rudolph did not participate, it was because she seemed to have a minor health problem during that time and needed to rest... So Mr. Tojo Hana asked the Horse Racing Association to delete Rudolph's name from it. Based on Chihiro Higashino's understanding of Rudolph Symbol, Rudolph Symbol should not refuse to attend such a game this time. "Thank you for the match, that sounds great." Maruzenski didn't care whether this game was a formal game recorded in the association. As long as she could run on the grass with powerful horse girls like Rudolf and Aldan, it was enough to make her excited regardless of the outcome. After hearing this, Altan Mejiro also took it seriously. Although it was just a recreational match, Altan Mejiro really wanted to catch up with Maruzenski... This competition will also allow her to see more clearly the gap between herself and the world-class horse girls. So in this competition, Mejiro Aldan will give his all. Of course, no one will let it go. "As for Chiyo, I have already informed the Horse Racing Association to remove your name in advance." Higashino Chihiro looked at Sakura Chiyo with some apology, because the Arima Memorial and Thanksgiving Races were too close, Higashino Chihiro wanted to let Sakura Chiyo adjust and rest. Sakura Chiyoou shook his head nonchalantly and smiled, "It doesn't matter, trainer. Even if I were up there, I probably wouldn't be chosen." "I'll just focus on Arima Kinen now." Chapter 16 Arima Memorial At the Arima Kinen, the horse racing girls who can participate are not only the third-year students in the middle school section, but also the first-, second-, and even third-year students in the high school section. But generally speaking, third-year horse girls will not participate in the Arima Kinen... because at this time their character development is basically over, and their condition is not as good as in previous years... Therefore, the third year of the high school department is the age when most horse girls announce their retirement. Even if they haven't retired, they usually retreat to the second line and occasionally participate in G3 or G2 games. They give up the G1 game either because of insufficient points or because they feel they are not competitive. This time, many of the opponents that Sakura Chiyoou has to face are the horse girls from the higher-level department. Among them are some who have been famous for a long time and have many honors. At the Arima Memorial lottery ceremony, Chihiro Higashino drew number 6 for Sakura Chiyoou, a very auspicious number. But unfortunately, such an auspicious number did not bring victory to Higashino Chihiro and Sakura Chiyo. This time, Sakura Chiyo only won 4 moves. Originally, Higashino Chihiro was worried that Sakura Chiyo would not perform well and would be a little depressed, but when he was in the contestant channel... When she greeted her, Sakura Chiyo walked up to him with a smile on her face.
"Chiyo-sama, you..." "It's okay, trainer." Sakura Chiyo-oh smiled and said, "It was beyond my expectation that I could participate in the Arima Kinen, not to mention that I got in." Sakura Chiyoou didn't say that because she was afraid that her trainer would worry about her, but there was indeed a hint of luck involved in her being able to participate in the Arima Kinen. Originally, she should have had fewer points according to the order, but a horse girl happened to have a problem during the pre-race check-up and had to withdraw, so Sakura Chiyo was replaced. In this Arima Kinen, she actually knew from the beginning that she had a high chance of losing... Because the horse racing ladies in the same competition are all strong, and there are many seniors who have trained longer than her, being able to get four moves now is considered a good result. "I hope you can let it go." Higashino Chihiro smiled and touched Sakura Chiyo's little head, and said: "I'm relieved if you think so, but there's no need to belittle yourself. Arima Kinen, we can win it back together next year." Looking at the fist that Higashino Chihiro extended, Sakura Chiyo nodded happily and stretched out her hand to gently touch that with Higashino Chihiro's. Because of the loss in the match, Sakura Chiyoou did not need to go backstage for the press conference this time. Taking advantage of the long rest time, Chihiro Higashino and the horse racing girls in the team walked out of the Zhongshan Racecourse together, planning to stroll around and relax themselves. When I was a little tired, I went to the hotel I had booked before to take a lunch break. After lunch break, Mejiro Aldan and Maruzenski wanted to take Sakura Chiyo and Higashino Chihiro to the mall for shopping... However, he was rejected by Chihiro Higashino, so he went to Akihabara alone and wandered around for a while before returning to the racecourse. On this winner's stage, Sakura Chiyoou stood as a backup dancer behind the right of the winner of the Arima Memorial and danced to the melody of the music. Although the winner this time was not Sakura Chiyoou, Chihiro Higashino and Altan Mejiro in the audience were also waving their glow sticks to celebrate for the winner. After the Arima Memorial, Chihiro Higashino's next focus was on Tamamo Cross, Oguruma and Super Little Bay, who were about to enter the third year of the junior high school and begin their shining journey. But for now, everything seems to be going very smoothly. Because of the Tamamono Cross, Oguruma has confirmed that he will participate in the Gaoyue Sho... Therefore, Chihiro Higashino prepared a route for each of the two horse girls to the outpost of the Gaoyue Sho, hoping that they could win at the outpost and then participate in the Gaoyue Sho. As for Super Cove, Higashino Chihiro originally wanted her to participate in an outpost battle together... However, she took the initiative to find me and said that it was not necessary, as she could not beat Tamamo Cross and Ogururo in the middle-distance competition at this stage...so she asked him to arrange other competitions for her and wait for the Japan Derby to take part in it. Chihiro Higashino also agreed with this. Because although Super Xiaohaiwan is also very adaptable to middle distance, she is actually better at long distance competitions... So instead of going head-to-head with Tamamo and Oguri, it is better to participate in other competitions first and accumulate points... and then return to the classic arena when the Japan Derby comes to compete with Tamamo Cross. "Before the Japanese derby, you must not lose in the Gaoyue Sho. I will not let you achieve the undefeated triple crown so easily." When faced with questions from Tamamo Cross and Oguruma, Super Little Bay answered with a smile.
In response to this, Chihiro Higashino also smiled. He welcomes healthy competition within the company. This period of time was relatively easy for him. With last year's experience, he was now very familiar with Tamamo Cross's pre-match preparation training, as well as Narita Daishin's current intensive training... Although he would occasionally encounter some small problems and need to ask senior Okino and others for help, most of the difficulties have been overcome by him. Soon it was the end of December, and Maruzenski and Mejiro Aldan met on the field with Rudolf Symbol as they wished. However, the final result surprised many people. Maruzenski and Rudolf Symbol crossed the finish line almost at the same time, while Mejiro Aldan was two lengths behind the two horse girls. Normally, in situations like this where both teams cross the finish line at the same time, the horse racing association will use a time camera to make the final decision in order to determine who wins the race, but this was not done in this thank you race.
