Inside the Spica dorm, things were incredibly lively.
After Tokai Teio arrived, she saw Mahjong for the first time. It turned out to be something that could train your intelligence, and being very smart, she learned it right away.
Teio and Hokko Tarumae were working on their training plans, while McQueen, Gold Ship, and the others were already preparing to train.
As for Xu Zong, he was now writing in his diary. However, the moment he started writing, he shocked everyone.
[The first time I saw the information on these world-class horses, I was astounded. Their records are too exaggerated. No matter which of these horses I write about, it unfolds a glorious history of a king of the turf.]
[This includes Frankel, Secretariat, Flightline, Enable, Zenyatta, Sea the Stars, Sea The Stars' dam Urban Sea, Zarkava, Deep Impact, Black Caviar, and others. These guys are just too powerful.]
[Honestly, if Cygames had given me one of these world-class horses as a starter back when I played, and designed them according to their original strength instead of making them two-stars, would my liver still be in pain? I'd just dominate the arena, blowing away the competition.]
[Unfortunately, my starters were only Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet. You raise them a bit in the early game, and then they're used for breeding. Later on, when CY updates, Christmas Oguri Cap, Swimsuit Maruzensky, Kitasan Black, and the 'Fisherman' (Seiun Sky) are the true gods. Especially when the national server just launched, the power creep was intense. How should I put it... with these things, though each version has its own god-tier characters, pulling early and enjoying them early is never a loss.]
[Speaking of which, I wonder which version the Chinese server of Uma Musume Pretty Derby is on. I hope my roommate gets all off-banner pulls. And I feel that Cygames hasn't released enough foreign racehorses. It's a pity they can't get the rights. If they managed to get Secretariat, I wonder what kind of character she would be. She would probably be a very beautiful horse girl.]
[You have to know, Secretariat was affectionately called "Big Red." Not only was his heart big, but his real horse's chest muscles were also astonishingly large. Back then, his chest was so big that standard horse tack wouldn't fit, and it had to be custom-made.]
At this moment, seeing this, the group of horse girls was utterly shocked.
Inside Spica.
Hokko Tarumae said, "Wait, the 'CY' Trainer Xu keeps talking about, is it really a horse racing game? And it even mentioned Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka's names. Is it related to us?"
Tokai Teio replied, "It seems so now. But we don't need to be that surprised. It's quite normal. In our world, we also have horse girl merchandise and figures, and we heard before that there were plans to make a game about horse girls."
"From the looks of it now, the real horse world seems to have done it faster," McQueen nodded in agreement.
"Yes, just like baseball. Our baseball league here is called the NPB League, and they've already released a game called NBP 2K Online. People can choose their favorite baseball teams and play with their favorite players."
"We horse girls might have had a similar game, but the Chairwoman rejected it before, saying it wasn't the right time yet."
"But judging from Trainer Xu's diary, it seems like we've already been implemented in a game in the real horse world."
McQueen felt a little nervous for a moment, wondering if she was strong in the real horse world's game. If she were to design the horse girls, she would at least set the weight option to private. Things like that are secrets, and it's fine if the players don't know.
Daiwa Scarlet, however, looked upset and wronged.
"Huh? We're given away at the start... Are Vodka and I just free characters? How could this be... Doesn't that mean we're not strong at all?"
When Vodka saw this, she was so upset she was on the verge of breaking down. "Yeah, aren't free characters the most useless? Maybe they can help players in the early stages, but everyone will just replace us with higher-tier characters later, and we won't be able to help anymore."
Vodka was called the "Empress" in the diary. She was happy at first, thinking that if she were made into a game character, she would at least be a limited five-star. But reality was cruel; she felt like a total loser.
Hokko Tarumae immediately tried to comfort them:
"No... it's not like that. How should I put it... being given away at the start might mean you're very friendly to new players. Maybe CY considered that, so they let you guide the new players."
Indeed, Hokko Tarumae knew how to comfort people. But it didn't really matter. After all, it's Cygames; it's fine to curse them out a bit in a loving tone.
Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka could only think of it that way. They told themselves that accompanying new players through the early game was pretty good, and they hoped these new players wouldn't forget them after getting five-star characters.
As for Silent Suzuka, her attention was on the last sentence describing Secretariat. Her expression was a bit shocked.
—Secretariat's chest was so big that standard horse tack wouldn't fit, and it had to be custom-made.
Indeed, she also discovered that there were disparities among horse girls. So, a horse girl who needed custom-made chest equipment really existed in the world. That was... terrifying.
Meanwhile, near a river in Tokyo.
When Seiun Sky saw the words "the Fisherman," she thought, 'That can't be about me, can it?'
"Myahaha, so I'm that amazing in the real horse world? Could it be that I also achieved great results in the classic Triple Crown later on?"
"Sorry, Vodka, Daiwa Scarlet, for making you unemployed in the hands of the players. But Seiun-chan will also treat the players who choose me well."
"Choosing the cute Seiun-chan shows great taste."
She smiled, put her hands on her hips with an adorable expression, and then noticed her fishing rod twitching. With a pull, a big fish was on the hook! She was overjoyed. Tonight, she could eat another three big bowls.
In America.
When Secretariat saw this message, she burst out laughing. She wasn't shy at all; on the contrary, she was incredibly confident, even narcissistic and arrogant. And she had the ability and assets to back it up.
Her trainer once said—[If Secretariat could talk, he would definitely be a narcissistic and arrogant bastard. But he's different from those bastards; he's a bastard that makes you fall madly in love!]
And speaking of Secretariat, her real horse's record is enough to make one gasp in awe, even to doubt if such a powerful racehorse truly existed.
The real Secretariat was born on March 30, 1970. He was a Thoroughbred racehorse born and trained in the United States. In his career of 21 races, he had 16 wins, 3 seconds, and 1 third, only finishing 4th in his debut. He is arguably one of the greatest racehorses in the hearts of countless Americans.
On dirt, his most classic race was the 2400-meter Belmont Stakes, where he defeated his rivals by an astonishing 31 lengths and set a record of 2 minutes and 24 seconds. This caused a massive sensation in the entire American horse racing world at the time.
This time was about 2 seconds faster than the previous record, putting him 11 lengths ahead of the previous record holder. It was hailed as a record that could never be broken. To this day, no racehorse has even come close to Secretariat's record.
And on the global G1 turf scene, he won the G1 Man o' War Stakes (2400m) and the G1 Canadian International Stakes (2400m), both of which were highly prestigious races, showcasing Secretariat's powerful adaptability.
At this moment, Secretariat said narcissistically:
"Hmm, on behalf of myself, I would like to express my respect to Trainer Xu. I, Secretariat, am excellent in both my race record and my appearance. His praise for me is all true. I believe that if he were to see me in person, he would use the word 'graceful' to describe me."
"No, my inner substance cannot even be contained by words. This is the noble quality that emanates from the depths of my soul."
Flightline was speechless. She clapped while reading in a monotone voice, "Wow, so amazing, Secretariat. Can you praise me?"
Secretariat immediately turned her head, her beautiful eyes looking at Flightline, and said emotionally, "Hahaha, this beautiful lady, look at your proud figure, these slender legs. Please forgive me, Flightline, your strength, your perfection, I cannot describe it either."
Flightline was defeated. She wasn't that thick-skinned. And Secretariat was staring at her like a bad girl. She was very shy, feeling as if she was being seen through. She quickly hugged herself and said:
"Ahem, you, stop praising me. If you praise me anymore, my head will really be in the clouds."
Flightline was afraid Secretariat would hug her again. This bad girl often did this. When she was hugged, her head could only rest in Secretariat's vast, snowy-white bosom, and sometimes she couldn't even breathe. She really was a flirtatious scoundrel.
Secretariat and Flightline now continued to read.
[And the one I'm writing about today is the current world's strongest horse. If we say the previous one, Trêve, was ranked as the world's strongest with a high score of 130,]
[Then the current strongest horse has reached a high score of 140. He was undefeated in his 14-race career. The standard he set has not been surpassed by any other racehorse to this day.]
[His name is Britain's Frankel.]
[Why is he so strong? Not only did he win all his races, but almost all of them were crushing victories. Even the jockey he carried, Tom Queally, was a heavyweight, a real liability.]
[When Queally was paired with Frankel, you could say they were invincible. But when Queally left Frankel, he not only didn't win a single Group 1 race, he didn't even win any graded stakes race, gradually falling out of the major race scene, and eventually could only take odd jobs at small racecourses.]
[Later, Queally couldn't even get odd jobs and had to switch to jump racing, but he still couldn't win.]
[To put it in perspective, I'm confident that if my grandma rode Frankel, she could win 7 G1s. This is a fully automatic racehorse. This is the quality of a world's strongest horse.]
[In front of Frankel, almost all of Britain's contemporary racehorses were completely reduced to his background props!]
The moment Frankel's name appeared, the entire Tracen Academy was stunned.
In the swimming pool.
Hishi Akebono was so shocked when she saw the news. She was practicing her swimming, and when she saw the 140 rating, she was so startled that her swimming form went wrong, and she almost choked on water. In a panic, she grabbed a floatie to stay afloat.
However, she still couldn't believe it.
"No way, a rating of 140... Are you kidding me? Even Orfevre only got 129, and that's the Orfevre who won 6 G1s on turf."
"That person named Trêve, who shattered Tracen's Arc dream, only got 130."
"A 1-point difference is already extremely powerful, but this 140 is a full 10 points higher than the world's strongest horse of that year... Is this something a human can achieve?"
Hishi Akebono trembled for a moment. She felt it was impossible. Was the gap between them and the world really that big? She was starting to question her life...
At this moment, Hishi Akebono wanted to get up immediately and go to the training room to watch this Frankel's races. She wondered how strong this guy was. She was also incredibly envious. If she had Frankel's strength, she would surely have countless fans.
But just as Hishi Akebono was about to climb out of the pool, she turned her head and saw Oguri Cap thrashing about beside her, looking like she was drowning. Hishi Akebono looked at the floatie in her hand and realized she had just taken Oguri Cap's.
"Ah, Oguri Cap-san, are you okay!"
Hishi Akebono quickly pulled Oguri Cap out of the water. Everyone knew Oguri Cap couldn't swim and always needed a floatie.
After a while, Oguri Cap finally woke up. She sat up and said dazedly:
"Huh? Just now, I clearly saw Kitahara and everyone from my hometown coming to take me home. They even gave me lots of delicious food. Was that an illusion?"
"Yes, that was an illusion! You absolutely can't be taken away!"
Hishi Akebono was terrified when she heard this. Thank goodness Oguri Cap wasn't taken away, or she would have been a real goner.
Meanwhile, in the Tracen Student Council office.
Whether it was Symboli Rudolf, Air Groove, or Narita Brian, the atmosphere here was heavy. The word "world" was pressing down on them like a dead weight.
"If only I had run a little better in my overseas races..."
Rudolf said self-reproachfully. As the president of Tracen, she was worried that Xu Zong's diary would be a blow to everyone. The distance between them and the world was indeed still significant.
"It's not your fault. Your physical condition was already very poor at that time," Air Groove comforted her.
"That's right, Rudolf. And you don't need to think of the people at Tracen as so fragile. The students of Tracen won't be crushed by something like this. Since I took the position of student council vice president, I've seen generations of horse girls climbing upwards with all their might."
"140 is indeed an unreachable number, but I believe that perhaps one day, a genius will emerge who can approach this number, or even surpass it."
Narita Brian, chewing on a piece of resin, was now looking at the diary with a serious expression.
The world is far away, but that's no reason to be afraid. If you're scared first, you'll never have a chance to surpass it.
"Brian, you're right. I also believe in the children of Tracen. Whether it's Teio, TM Opera O, or Deep Impact, they won't back down because of this."
"For some reason, I have a feeling that a storm is brewing. Perhaps with this as motivation, our Tracen can truly become stronger."
Rudolf looked up at the sky. She could only place her hope in the future. Perhaps in Tracen's near future, a 140-rated horse girl would really appear.
On the Tracen racetrack.
"So you're Wu Di from China? I didn't expect you to catch up to me so quickly."
Nice Nature was currently racing against a horse girl from China. She had just seen the world's strongest horse, and she sighed inwardly. Did such a powerful person really exist?
Then, she encountered a blue-haired horse girl named Wu Di, who started competing with her.
Nice Nature heard she was from China and was quite interested. After all, Chinese horse girls were rare, so she wanted to see how she measured up.
But she also discovered that this girl named Wu Di was surprisingly strong.
"The horse girls at Tracen are all so amazing."
Wu Di was also enjoying the run. The races she participated in in China were different from the tracks in Japan. The Japanese tracks were harder, and she wasn't used to them at first, but she was much better now.
And what Wu Di was even better at was a late charge. Once she passed the final turn, it was "the vast sky is for the birds to fly, the wide sea for the fish to leap." She could just charge straight ahead.
At this moment, Wu Di and Nice Nature passed the final turn together, and the intensity of their one-on-one duel reached its peak.
Wu Di was like a bolt of lightning, gradually accelerating and charging towards Nice Nature. In fact, Wu Di's bloodline was also extremely strong. Her real horse's sire was Mejiro Ardan, and her great-great-grandsire was Northern Dancer. You could say she was even related to the Chairwoman.
"Wu Di-san, you're really amazing. But I'm going to win this race."
Nice Nature took a step, passing the corner with great speed thanks to her experience, like a flash. No joke, although Nice Nature was known as the "Bronze Collector," she was very strong.
In that instant, the distance between Nice Nature and Wu Di actually started to widen.
"Fast, so fast! The horse girls of Tracen really live up to their reputation. But I won't lose either."
Wu Di displayed her extremely strong stamina, actually unleashing a second burst of acceleration, stunning countless people. What kind of running style was this, to be able to accelerate in the final stage?
However, Wu Di was ultimately slightly outmatched and was defeated by Nice Nature. A great victory for Necha-san.
"You won, Necha-san. First place belongs to you. You're so amazing, you must have won many championships."
Wu Di said with a grin, piercing Necha's heart with a single sentence.
"Ahem, I've won quite a few bronze medals recently."
Nice Nature found it hard to say. She was thinking, 'Am I really just a bronze collector? Impossible, absolutely impossible.'
Soon, they gradually dispersed. Wu Di explained her reason for coming to Tracen: she wanted to find Trainer Xu and Mejiro Ardan.
She wanted to ask what "Wu Di is Mejiro Ardan's great son" meant.
Nice Nature said, "I see. But as for Ardan, you might be able to see her in a few days. I heard she's already completed her discharge procedures and will be arriving at Tracen soon."
"It's not impossible that you might see Ardan in the next second."
Necha-san was just joking. However, she didn't know that this time, her words would actually come true.
Sometimes, arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time.
Just as Nice Nature was about to take Wu Di to find Xu Zong, a beautiful and graceful woman appeared before them. And she was Mejiro Ardan.
Nice Nature was stunned for a moment, thinking, 'No way.'
The moment Wu Di saw this blue-haired beauty, her heart rate, without any warning, shot up like a lit rocket.
She was already drawn to Mejiro Ardan, and now seeing Nice Nature's reaction, she had a gut feeling that the gentle woman at the bottom of the steps in front of her might be... Mejiro Ardan.
And Wu Di's sixth sense was correct. The mother and child were finally reunited.
"Um, your name is?"
Wu Di took a step forward and asked Mejiro Ardan nervously.
"Me?"
Mejiro Ardan turned her head gently. A gust of wind blew through her blue hair. She smiled slightly, looking incredibly gentle.
Wu Di was dumbfounded. She looked at Ardan as if through a "proud daughter" filter. The delicate beauty before her, her every smile, was so gentle, so beautiful.
Wu Di's heart pounded, feeling like she was about to fall for her.
"My name is Mejiro Ardan. I couldn't come to Tracen Academy before because I was sick. Now... now I can finally be here. Please remember my name. By the way, what's your name?"
Ardan had a gentle and approachable personality. Unlike Symboli Kris S, she didn't have a terrifying aura when interacting with people.
"I... my name is... Wu Di."
Wu Di clenched her fists. She was nervous, but also incredibly lucky. She never thought she would meet the Mejiro Ardan she was looking for right after arriving in Japan. And she felt an unprecedented gentleness from Ardan. She had a strong desire to stay with Miss Ardan.
"Wu Di... could it be Wu Di from China?"
Ardan looked at Wu Di and was slightly taken aback. She observed this girl named Wu Di. She had a doll-like face, very cute, and a head of beautiful blue hair.
And, if Ardan remembered correctly, Wu Di was supposed to be her "great son." But now it seemed they just looked alike. Perhaps it was just Trainer Xu joking around.
"Yes, I came to Tracen to find you and Trainer Xu. I was curious about some things in the diary. We can study it together."
Wu Di nodded.
"Okay, then let me treat you to a meal. Yaeno Muteki and Sakura Chiyono O are coming later too."
Mejiro Ardan was delighted. She quite liked Wu Di and wanted to ask if she would stay at Tracen Academy. If possible, they could chat later and have her run with her.
Ardan directly asked, "So Wu Di, will you be staying at Tracen?"
However, Wu Di shook her head and said:
"No... I'm just here to see you all and watch the races in Japan this time. After all, I'm a Chinese horse girl. But there are very few races in China. After the spring races, there might not be another chance to find a race."
"I also know that for some reasons, I might never have the chance to participate in a G1 in my life. I shouldn't have extravagant hopes for those races. But I wanted to come and see, and then... if possible, I'll entrust my dream to you, Miss Mejiro Ardan."
"I'm sure you'll participate, right? In future races, whether it's GII or GI."
"Although I heard your ankles aren't very good, with my, Wu Di's, blessing, I believe you'll definitely be fine. Maybe you can even create an unprecedented undefeated record."
Wu Di said with a cheerful smile.
Mejiro Ardan, however, was shocked. She had almost given up due to her illness, often thinking she was unlucky, had a weak body, and couldn't run.
But Wu Di, who was in China, didn't even have the chance to run.
"Your dream, I've received it."
Mejiro Ardan took Wu Di's hand. Their dreams were handed over. She would definitely run hard. Every step she ran from now on would also carry Wu Di's dream.
Indeed, the great son's dream shall be fulfilled by the mother.
"What a pity. Wu Di is so strong. She just arrived at a Japanese track for the first time and already ran so well."
Nice Nature also felt a bit sad. Such talent, yet unable to race.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's good that I can just watch. If I don't have to race, I won't get injured, haha."
"That's life, it's not always smooth sailing."
Wu Di forced a smile.
They decided to go eat first. Tomorrow was the Fan Appreciation Festival, so they would take Wu Di to have some fun. And they had a common goal: to properly deal with that boy, Trainer Xu.
They had a complicated feeling. If it weren't for Xu Zong, Wu Di and Mejiro Ardan would never have met. But this Xu Zong was spreading random rumors in his diary.
Anyway, they decided to discuss it over dinner tonight and make a plan for Xu Zong.
"Ah, as expected of Wu Di and Mejiro Ardan. You two seem to be on the same wavelength. One is gentle and considerate, the other is quirky and clever. It gives off such a warm feeling. I'm so envious."
Necha-san felt like a third wheel, completely out of place in their sweet atmosphere.
Wait, wait, why am I the third wheel in relationships too? Can't I get away from this third place thing?
Forget it, forget it.
She shook her head, then put on a happy expression. Necha-san, a great and complete recovery.
After that, Sakura Chiyono O and Yaeno Muteki also arrived.
"Wow, two Mutekis (Invincibles)."
Sakura Chiyono O exclaimed, "This is fate."
"Halt! I can tell at a glance, you're not the real Muteki."
Wu Di said to Yaeno Muteki. She was the real Muteki (Invincible). Yaeno's name had "Yaeno" in it, not as pure as hers.
"You! If you're Muteki, then who am I?"
Yaeno Muteki was also stumped.
"You are Yaeno Muteki. I am just Muteki. It's different."
Wu Di was very serious about this.
For a moment, Sakura Chiyono O was confused. But the two of them were very boisterous, and the atmosphere became very lively.
As Mejiro Ardan walked, she held the dream Wu Di had just entrusted to her. When Wu Di said those words, she was serious. Her dream was now completely in her hands.
She had to run well, exceptionally well.
Of course, as they talked, they continued to follow Xu Zong's diary. They realized that their perspective hadn't been broad enough. The world's strongest horse girls were truly more exaggerated than the last.
And Frankel was just one name. There were also Secretariat, Sea The Stars, Urban Sea, Flightline, Enable... who knew if Trainer Xu would say one of them had the same rating as Frankel?
And Trainer Xu had only said that Frankel made all of Britain's racehorses pale in comparison. What about America, Dubai, and other places?
So they continued to read.
In fact, they were right. Flightline was initially rated at 139, but his score was later raised to 140, the same as Frankel.
However, it is generally believed that Frankel is stronger than Flightline because every one of Frankel's races was won so beautifully. 14 wins from 14 starts, a total winning margin of 76 lengths, 10 G1 championships. It is said that there are no absolutes in horse racing, but Frankel is the absolute.
Although Flightline was also terrifyingly strong, his career was accompanied by some injuries, and he didn't run as many races as Frankel. If he had run more, perhaps he would have been rated 140 from the start.
At this moment, Xu Zong's diary began to update again.
[Frankel, born at Juddmonte Farms in Britain, is one of the world's most successful racehorses.]
[After being raised at Juddmonte, when Frankel reached racing age, he was sent to the stable of the legendary trainer, Henry Cecil.]
[At this time, Henry was at a low point in his life. His brother had passed away from illness, he himself was terminally ill, his stable was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor performance, and his wife had left him. However, he did not yet know that his life was about to be saved by Frankel.]
[Henry was overjoyed when he saw Frankel. He had trained countless horses in his life, but he had never seen one like Frankel.]
[From the start of his training, he always wanted to rush ahead of others, and his speed and explosive power were extremely strong.]
[Frankel seemed fearless. No matter the command, he ran very fast. They say a newborn calf doesn't fear a tiger; the key here wasn't the 'calf,' but that Frankel was a real 'tiger.']
[He reminded me of Sakura Bakushin O. He was truly born with 'bakushin' (full speed ahead) on his mind.]
At this moment, in Tracen Academy.
"Hahaha, even the world's strongest horse goes 'bakushin,' which means there's nothing wrong with my training method at all."
When Sakura Bakushin O saw this, she put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily. Good grief, she had really learned her lesson. And she had put a lot of thought into the upcoming Fan Appreciation Festival.
She declared that she, Sakura of Speed, would definitely make the audience and the younger horse girls feel the charm of 'bakushin.'
In addition, Sakura Bakushin O was very fond of Kitasan Black and a fellow named Equinox. She felt an incredible affinity for these two and planned to grab them when the time came.
However, Kitasan Black didn't seem to like her very much, which troubled her quite a bit.
Indeed, in the real horse world, Sakura Bakushin O was Kitasan Black's maternal grandsire. And Equinox was Kitasan Black's great son. That made Sakura Bakushin O Equinox's maternal great-grandsire. The seniority was maxed out.
In fact, although Sakura Bakushin O could only run mile races, he actually had a long-distance bloodline. It was just that the real Sakura Bakushin O didn't know how to change his breathing, which limited him to short distances. What a dummy.
So, from the beginning, Kitasan Black was also thought to be unable to run long distances, as he had Sakura Bakushin O's bloodline. But facts proved that Kitasan Black inherited all of Sakura Bakushin O's strengths and fully realized his potential on the track.
Kitasan Black was a true hard worker. He never gave up, endured what could be called abusive training, and step by step, through his own efforts, became the first 7-G1 winning horse girl for the Kitajima family, being inducted into the highest Hall of Fame, shocking the entire JRA.
And now, Kitasan Black's bloodline has already blossomed. His offspring are already running on the JRA tracks. But whether his future offspring will produce a horse that can surpass Equinox remains to be seen.
One can only say that when Equinox won, Kitasan was happy, but Kita-chan was worried.
The diary continued.
[After six months of training, Frankel could finally listen to commands a little and stopped rushing recklessly. Henry decided to let him show his skills in a race.]
[On August 13, 2010, in the EBF Maiden Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse, Frankel, as the heavy favorite, began his professional career.]
[In this race, Frankel was in the 10th stall. He broke slowly in his first race and was initially in the middle of the pack. He began to weave left and right, looking for an opening. The jockey wanted to control his speed, but when Frankel found a gap, he could no longer hold back and shot out.]
[His speed got faster and faster, like a rocket. The explosive power in that moment could only be described as 'terrifying,' instantly leaving the other horses behind.]
[At that moment, not only Frankel, but all the spectators around erupted, stunned by his powerful burst. However, Frankel had fallen too far behind at the start of his debut, so he didn't win by a huge margin, only crossing the line half a length ahead. Although it was a bit of a thrilling victory, it undoubtedly showed his terrifying talent.]
[Of course, it wasn't just the audience who was shocked at the time, but also the jockey on Frankel. He was truly stunned. In that instant, he was probably frozen. He hadn't given a command, so how did Frankel find a gap and rush out on his own?]
[At this point, I suddenly realized that the only thing separating me from being the world's number one jockey is one Frankel.]
[I suddenly envy Tom Queally. I'm a university student, can I ride Frankel just once?]
Writing this, Xu Zong also complained about Queally. In fact, he also thought of TM Opera O, but Opera O's jockey, Ryuji Wada, went on to win many graded stakes victories.
However, Ryuji Wada didn't have many resources and was willing to ride the same horses until their retirement. So, 17 years after TM Opera O's retirement, he won the Takarazuka Kinen with Mikki Rocket.
Interestingly, when TM Opera O was blocked in the Takarazuka Kinen and regrettably finished second, he was in the 4th stall. When Mikki Rocket fulfilled the dream in the Takarazuka Kinen, he was also in the 4th stall.
That's why Ryuji Wada choked up and said, "It must have been Opera O who gave me a push."
At that time, TM Opera O had just passed away.
Ryuji Wada posted late at night—he had learned so much from TM Opera O.
In fact, the real TM Opera O had a very good personality. Compared to Frankel, he was more like an honor student. After retiring, every time he saw Ryuji Wada, he would still crouch down to let him ride.
If Wada didn't get on, he would throw a tantrum and stomp his hooves.
At this moment, seeing this, a group of people were speechless.
In Ireland.
"Hahaha, this guy has some beautiful dreams."
Sea The Stars also laughed. She had just finished her run, wiping the sweat from her forehead. In the mock race just now, Urban Sea behind her was menacing, but she ran even faster than Urban Sea, crossing the line first.
Sea The Stars was incredibly smart. Urban Sea was already a genius, but she was nothing in front of Sea The Stars.
And this was true. The real Sea The Stars was also powerful to a freakish degree.
Sea The Stars had an extremely high IQ. Training exercises that took other horses over ten days to learn, Sea The Stars learned in just fifteen minutes and could already cooperate with the trainer.
The groom at the time was probably dumbfounded. Sea The Stars was probably just thinking to himself, "What are you doing? What other questions do you have? Hurry up and test me!"
And at that time, Sea The Stars, with an undefeated record, won races including the 2000 Guineas, the Epsom Derby, the Eclipse Stakes, the International Stakes, the Irish Champion Stakes, and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
And in the Epsom Derby, Sea The Stars also faced a siege from the top European stallion group, [Coolmore].
Coolmore is a breeding-focused farm group. Since the late 80s, with Sadler's Wells' long-term dominance in Europe, the Coolmore group grew into a powerhouse. After Sadler's Wells retired, they welcomed Galileo. One of his most famous progeny is the world's strongest horse mentioned in the diary, Frankel.
Sea The Stars was sired by Cape Cross out of Urban Sea, making him a half-brother to Galileo.
If Sea The Stars won, it would mean that [Coolmore]'s monopoly would no longer exist. So they sent out every colt they could, a total of 6 G1-level racehorses, to compete in the Epsom Derby and surround Sea The Stars.
However, Sea The Stars told them that no matter how many there were, a mere G1-level group was just a rabble!
Under Sea The Stars' terrifying charge, he still broke through the encirclement and ultimately won the race.
In fact, the most terrifying thing about Sea The Stars was that he was a late-maturing horse. If he had continued to run, he was considered the most likely to be on par with Frankel. His final rating could very well have reached a terrifying 140!
But now, Sea The Stars has already started breeding. His famous progeny include Harzand, Enable, Stradivarius, etc.
However, Enable's lifelong rival was Flightline.
Every time Enable's rating went up, Flightline would suddenly come out of retirement for one race and stun Enable again. It was like he was chasing her down to kill her.
At this time, the diary continued.
[Four weeks after Frankel's debut victory, he came to his second race, the Frank Whittle Partnership Conditions Stakes. This was a graded stakes race, but not a G1. Frankel charged all the way, and the jockey was responsible for holding him back, afraid he would run too fast. In the end, he easily took first place.]
[On September 25, Frankel entered his first career G2-level race, the Royal Lodge Stakes.]
[The opponents in this race were clearly much stronger than before.]
[However, Frankel was like he had cheats enabled, charging straight ahead. They couldn't keep up with him at all. A stunning aura burst from his entire body. Not only did he accelerate, but he got faster and faster, ultimately winning the race by an absolute margin of over ten lengths.]
[After that, Frankel's team set their sights on the G1 2000 Guineas. The status of this race in Britain is equivalent to the JRA's Japanese Derby, highly prestigious.]
[And the G1 2000 Guineas, although it has '2000' in its name, is actually a 1600-meter long straight with no turns, making it very exciting to watch.]
[At the time, there was a theory that a Thoroughbred like Frankel only had a sprinting distance of 400 meters. So, Frankel's team was worried about this issue and had him train with a pacemaker horse, trying to get him to suppress his speed at the beginning, follow behind the pacemaker, and only sprint in the last 400 meters.]
[But an accident happened. After the draw, Frankel was in the first stall, and the pacemaker was on the far outside. The pacemaker plan was a complete failure.]
[At that time, Henry, as if sensing fate's joke, just smiled and shook his head.]
[He also made a decision. Yes, since it's like this, let's forget all the plans and let Frankel run as he pleases for once.]
[And it was this decision by Henry that would allow Frankel, in this G1 2000 Guineas, to tell the world with facts that a high-speed, era-defining world's strongest horse was born.]
[Soon, the G1 2000 Guineas began. From the start, Frankel maintained an extremely fast speed, charging forward. His explosive power instantly left the horses behind him in the dust. Just halfway through the race, he was already leading by 4 lengths.]
[His momentum continued to grow, as if it would envelop the entire field. He led from the front all the way, at one point leading by 15 lengths. In the end, he won his first career G1 championship by a margin of 6 lengths.]
[After that, Frankel began to prepare for the 1600-meter St. James's Palace Stakes. In this race, Frankel's biggest opponent was a horse named Zoffany. Zoffany led at the beginning, while Frankel powered up before the turn in the middle section and chased him down. Once again, people marveled at his incredible speed. In the end, Frankel won by a margin of nearly 5 lengths.]
[After that, Frankel continued to compete in mile races, undoubtedly winning again. He won his races by an average of 5.4 lengths, and this was with the jockey doing his best to control him.]
[The 2011 Ascot Champion Stakes was the last race of Frankel's career. In this race, Frankel started slowly, falling far behind the pack. But with his super-fast straight-line speed, he made up for the disadvantage of the start. Frankel's opponent, Cirrus des Aigles, was also very sharp on the track. Cirrus des Aigles, still at his peak, was known as the 'emperor of the new era,' and he raced like lightning on the turn, trying to win this championship and ascend to the coveted throne.]
[But the horse he was facing was named Frankel. When the king of the old era, Frankel, chased after the challenger of the new era at full speed, all the spectators watching the race were thrilled.]
[Cirrus des Aigles tried to use Frankel's name as a stepping stone, to ascend to the new throne with the unparalleled honor of defeating Frankel. However, Frankel told him that their strengths were not on the same level at all. Frankel could be seen gaining ground at a visible speed, and the moment he exerted his power, he had already instantly surpassed the full-speed Cirrus des Aigles.]
[The prestige of the world's strongest horse could not be shaken. Frankel's acceleration got faster and faster, showing no signs of slowing down, continuously widening the gap with Cirrus des Aigles. In the end, even with a slow start, he still defeated Cirrus des Aigles head-on by a margin of about 2 lengths, ending his perfect 14-win racing career.]
[And this is the world's strongest horse, Frankel. He can be said to be a fully automatic racehorse.]
[Speaking of fully automatic racehorses, there is actually one in the URA as well. Her legend is equally inspiring. Eight wins in eight starts, with a rookie jockey, a new owner, and a hastily assembled team, she shook the Japanese horse racing world.]
[In fact, her strength was so dazzling that she became the enemy of all other racehorses.]
[Her story with the jockey's son is also very interesting.]
[In addition, I also saw the story of Haru Urara, which is also quite inspiring.]
[I'll write about them next.]
After finishing writing, Xu Zong was also curious to see what kind of reward he would get today.
However, when he saw the reward, he was also shocked.
[Hint: Diary uploaded successfully.]
[Hint: Reward received: Room facility upgrade. Cold protection equipment, gaming facilities, and bedding all fully upgraded.]
To be honest, if Narita Taishin, Mejiro Palmer, or others saw this reward, they would probably feel that the game consoles in their hands were no longer so appealing. His room was now extremely comfortable for gaming, sleeping, and resting.
Actually, his room was already very nice, but this reward improved it even more. In fact, the horse girls sometimes give you gifts on holidays, and you can play games together.
However, while Xu Zong was happy now, the other horse girls who saw Frankel's deeds were unable to calm down for a long time.
Just as Rudolf said, a storm was brewing. Seeing the gap between themselves and Frankel, everyone was preparing to train with all their might. The distance between them and the world couldn't be that far.
Within Tracen.
"A 1600-meter sprint... If it were me, how would I fare against her?"
When Deep Impact saw the news about Frankel, she had a smile on her face. She didn't feel any sense of defeat. Instead, she wanted to try, and she even felt that no matter what, she would stick to Frankel like glue.
A commanding aura erupted from her, making her killing intent even stronger. Anyone who had experienced Deep Impact's chilling presence knew it was a terrifying feeling.
Of course, it wasn't just Deep Impact, but also Rudolf, Orfevre, Gentildonna, TM Opera O, El Condor Pasa, as well as Equinox, Kitasan Black, and other horse girls.
They would definitely go for it, to challenge the world.
In Britain.
Cirrus des Aigles was in seclusion. He never thought that at his peak, he would be completely defeated by Frankel, and by a large margin of two lengths.
He suddenly raised his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, finally sitting on the ground and saying rather dejectedly:
"I'm sorry, Frankel, for not being able to give you a good race."
And, Cirrus des Aigles was also thinking, 'There's another 140-rated horse girl, who is she?'
Enable was also thinking about this question at this moment. 'This person, it must be her.'
However, Xu Zong hadn't written about it yet, and they also needed some time to digest this huge amount of information. It was just too shocking.
Over at Spica, everyone's training had also ended.
They finished reading the diary and completed their training. They also swore to run well. However, tomorrow was the rehearsal for the Fan Appreciation Festival, so everyone went to bed first. They needed to prepare how to thank their fans tomorrow, as everyone's support was extremely important.
Xu Zong also returned to his room. He had to admit, after this room upgrade, he was incredibly comfortable. The softness of the bed was as if it were custom-made, emitting a faint, elegant orchid scent that helped him sleep and rest.
This was indeed very nice.
Soon, the next day arrived. Xu Zong was also planning to go out. Today would definitely be a very interesting day.
Equinox, Kita-chan, Titleholder, Diamond-chan, and others were all coming. And he heard that Kita-chan and Daiya-chan had been growing a lot recently. They were about to enter their prime.
However, what Xu Zong didn't know was that Wu Di and Ardan were also coming. Good grief, now the whole family was really together.
