The news that no one dared to challenge Polaris Glacier in the Yayoi Sho quickly spread throughout Central Tracen Academy in reports handled by Yukishiro.
Through word-of-mouth and frequent online discussions, Polaris Glare's popularity reached its peak.
Her radiance was too dazzling; even Horse Girl of the same generation, despite showing good talent and strength, were implicitly considered her foils.
Being in the same generation as her seemed to only be describable with words like sorrow and misfortune.
Everyone had already listed this year's Classic Triple Crown as Polaris Glare's rightful honor.
And after Polaris Glacier released her Classic Triple Crown race announcement, people went even more insane:
"Winning just the Classic Triple Crown isn't enough; she wants to claim the Three Triple Crown too?!"
"If any other Horse Girl said that, it might be a laughing stock, but if it's Polaris Glare, I'm willing to believe her."
"This is no longer a matter of believing or not; recall her race schedule last year! Consecutive races with only a one-week interval truly happened!"
"No one thinks she'll lose, right? Does this mean we're about to witness history?"
"The first six-crown Horse Girl? That would truly be an unprecedented and unrepeatable achievement."
At Central Tracen Academy, in the classroom.
"Polaris, are you serious?! You really plan to enter all six Classic Triple Crown races?!"
Sirius Symboli leaned forward, hands on the desk, looking incredulous.
"Of course, I'm serious; isn't it clearly written in the race announcement I published?"
Polaris Glacier looked innocent, her phone screen displaying information from Jun Yu Circle.
"Hiss... You're truly too exaggerated, so exaggerated that I don't know what to say."
After a slight pause, Sirius Symboli straightened up, her hands leaving the desk, her tail swaying slightly at her lower back:
"However, a six-crown Horse Girl... just thinking about it is exciting."
"Hey, Polaris, you'll definitely achieve it, won't you? That dream-like honor."
Hearing this, Polaris Glacier's lips slowly curved into a smile, and she did not respond, implicitly agreeing.
"By the way, is this okay? sirius, you also plan to participate in the Classic Triple Crown races, right? My achieving six crowns means you'll be defeated."
"Tch... You don't need to worry about that, Polaris. Just use all your strength to crush Mihono Bourbon and me, as long as you can ignore our resistance..."
With various influences compounding, sirius's mindset also changed.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Polaris was indeed a monster in their generation, the kind that was unrivaled.
People's comments all indicated that competing for first place with her was impossible.
In the same race, other Horse Girl should be competing for second place.
Mihono Bourbon, hearing this, also turned around and nodded:
"That's right, sirius and I will resist with all our might, just to shine our own light under your brilliance, Polaris."
With the stance of a pursuer and an unyielding will.
"If you want to achieve six crowns, please use all your strength to defeat us."
"With your proud Polaris Glare's chilling aura, with your unapproachable powerful speed..."
Looking at the two in front of her, whose expressions were serious and whose eyes unconsciously surged with flames of battle intent, Polaris Glacier paused slightly, a thought inevitably rising in her heart—
If she weren't here, these two Horse Girl would definitely be the leaders of this generation.
Their own aptitudes were clearly superior to other Horse Girl, and winning the Classic Triple Crown was entirely possible, even highly probable.
However, unfortunately, this world has her presence, the unreasonable existence of Polaris Glare.
The radiance of Sirius Symboli and Mihono Bourbon is destined to become a part of the aurora's composition.
The aurora will continue to illuminate the sky of this world, forever revered and loved by people.
"Hmph, I understand."
Polaris Glacier took a deep breath, her eyes freezing over:
"As you wish, I will use all my strength to utterly crush you and engrave the six-crown honor into history."

Time advanced, and besides the hot topic of Polaris Glare this month, there were other noteworthy events.
Among them, Mihono Bourbon won the G3 Daily Hai on March 24th by six lengths.
Sirius Symboli won the OP Wakaba Stakes on March 30th by eight lengths.
Chitose Meiji finished second in the G3 Osaka Hai on March 31st.
Rudolph Symboli won the G2 Nikkei Sho on the same day with a leading strategy, easily by four lengths.
Coming into April, the most anticipated event was undoubtedly Polaris Glare's first Classic Triple Crown race—
The first race of the Three Triple Crown, the Sakura Laurels, on the 7th.
From the revealed entry list, it seemed no one chose to avoid or change races this time.
It wasn't hard to understand; after all, this was a grand stage that only happens once in a lifetime. If one dared not participate out of fear, they might feel regret someday in the future.
At the same time, the Horse Girl were all mentally prepared for defeat; facing Polaris Glare, this was only natural.
At seven o'clock that morning, in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture, where Hanshin Racecourse is located, the weather was not pleasant; it was raining, and there was no sign of it stopping anytime soon.
It was foreseeable that the Horse Girl participating in the Sakura Laurels today would be running in wet conditions.
(This is truly not the author making up the weather; the race records clearly state it was rainy.)
In a room at a local luxury hotel, Polaris Glacier looked out the window, a thoughtful expression flashing in her eyes:
"My second G1 race, and I have to run in the rain again? Is this a coincidence or fate..."
Rainy conditions were undoubtedly very suitable for the exertion of Polaris Glare's chilling aura. Raindrops, under the influence of the cold, would become even colder, and falling on the Horse Girl could almost be considered a torment.
Physical cold was one aspect, but more so it was mental torture, greatly affecting their motivation and condition.
The Horse Girl in the same race today, in every sense, had extremely bad luck.
When the time was almost right, she took a car to the racecourse with the Head Maid and Kumi Trainer.
Upon arrival, without delay, she immediately went to the jockey's changing room.
Inside, as she put on her winning uniform, a chilling aura suddenly erupted, and snowflakes formed around her.
Perhaps because it wasn't winter, the cold snow only fell around her, not covering the surrounding area of the racecourse like last time.
Polaris Glacier carefully sensed her current state—
Her thoughts became much clearer, her perception increased, and a warm current continuously surged within her body, as if she had inexhaustible strength.
The cold snow, which she once couldn't control, could now be manipulated at will.
Just as she had thought, after stepping into the Classic Triple Crown, certain aspects were indeed different.
She nodded in satisfaction and then walked out of the changing room.
Due to prior requests, the Head Maid and Kumi Trainer had already gone to the stands to wait.
Polaris Glacier walked to the mirror, carefully admiring her posture, a smile unconsciously appearing on her lips:
"Thank you, Mom, thank you for making my winning uniform, allowing me to step onto the racecourse in such a dazzling manner."
Whispering softly, she took out the snow lotus-patterned brooch and pinned it on.
"Growing up in an atmosphere enveloped by love, I will never lose, and it's impossible for me to lose!"
With white-gold flames and frost mixed in her eyes, Polaris Glacier's blue long hair was faintly covered with a layer of snow, pure and noble.
"Let's go, to claim my victory."
