After overtaking Fujimasa March, Oguri Cap did not drift back to the inside to save energy.
She simply stayed in a relatively outer position and began to sprint towards the finish line more than 500 meters away.
"What's the split for the first 600 meters?" Symboli Rudolf turned and asked Maruzensky.
Maruzensky was taken aback for a moment, then reported the time, "35.0 seconds flat. It's mainly because the leading horse girl's turf aptitude isn't very good."
"The track record for the 1200-meter turf at Chukyo Racecourse is 1:07.5... If we limit the condition to debut-year horse girls, it's 1:08.6," Symboli Rudolf leaned forward slightly. "Let's see what kind of time Oguri Cap can post."
"35 seconds for the first 600 meters, that's definitely a back-loaded pace. In a battle of finishing kicks, she, who has been running in second place, will definitely be at a disadvantage," Tokai Teio made a judgment based on her own understanding.
"If the opponents were all first-line Central horse girls, maybe so," Maruzensky shook her head gently. "But this is just a local race held at a Central racecourse."
Tokai Teio heard the implication in her words, but she didn't think the gray-coated horse girl leading now had what it took to be "first-line Central strength."
"Even Haiseiko-senpai, the idol of the local horse girls, only made a breakthrough after transferring to Central," she muttered to herself.
After entering the final straight, Oguri Cap, no longer having to fight against centrifugal force, accelerated again, forcefully pulling further and further away from the opponents she had already left two lengths behind.
Standing behind the railing, he let out a long breath. "She made the right judgment again. Her racing sense has really improved."
For the young trainer, what made him happier than the impending victory was the fact that she had shown the ability to make judgments that were not bound by his instructions.
"It means that in the future, when unexpected situations arise on the track, I won't have to worry too much," he thought.
However, to train her judgment, he still planned to add an item to her training within the year.
…
In the VIP box, Symboli Rudolf looked at her, who was pulling further and further away from her opponents, and a satisfied smile spread across her face. "Tojo-san was right. She is indeed Central level."
Hearing this, Maruzensky looked as if she wanted to say something but held back.
Tokai Teio's eyes lit up. She guessed what her respected president was thinking. "Then I'll go down and find her trainer now!"
"No, let's wait until after the race is over," Symboli Rudolf shook her head. "If you go and invite him now, you will definitely be rejected."
"Hmph..." Tokai Teio pouted, but she had to admit that the president was right.
"That guy looks at me as if he's looking down on a child," Tokai Teio's ears twitched, very annoyed, but she had no reason to refute—after all, she was still far from her 'honkaku-ka' phase. She really was a child right now.
When Oguri Cap was the first to cross the finish line, the stopwatch on the tote board stopped at "1:08.5."
Symboli Rudolf uncrossed her legs and stood up from her seat. "A new record..."
"Now it's even more impossible not to try to recruit her," Maruzensky sighed in her heart. With her rich experience, she could fully imagine what would happen next, but at this moment, she had no way to stop it.
As for Tokai Teio, after seeing the finishing time on the tote board, it was as if a thunderclap had exploded in her mind. Completely stunned, she covered her mouth, her mind repeating the time over and over.
"To be able to post a time that breaks a Central record while only training in a local region?" Tokai Teio clenched her fists. "When she comes to Central, I will definitely have to study how she trains!"
…
Behind the railing, he didn't know what was happening on Symboli Rudolf's side, nor did he care to guess.
He first had Brand New Shine go to a restaurant to prepare for the victory celebration, then he jogged through the crowd to the waiting area, where only the racecourse staff were, to wait for her to come down from the track.
And when her figure appeared in his line of sight, he proactively went up to her and pulled the sweaty gray-coated horse girl into his arms.
"You worked hard, Oguri Cap," he encouraged her softly in her ear. "You made the right reaction when my tactics were flawed. You ran beautifully. Go take a shower in the waiting room, then get ready for the winning live. After you get off the stage, we'll go to a restaurant to celebrate. I've already had Brand New Shine order."
"Okay!" Hearing the last part, she perked up again, wrapped her arms around her trainer, and shared her post-race feelings, "Trainer, I feel like my performance on turf is even better."
"Yes. So we're even more confident about challenging the Yayoi Sho next year, right?" he rubbed her head. "We can definitely reach the highest stage together."
"We definitely can," the gray-coated horse girl leaned against his chest with a sense of security, her tone firm.
After the winning live, he waited at the entrance of the internal passage and once again greeted her, who had packed her luggage.
"Let's go. Brand New Shine has already ordered," he said, naturally taking her free hand, preparing to go to the parking lot and drive her over.
But just as they had taken a few steps, the voice he least wanted to hear appeared behind them again—
"What are you in such a hurry for, Zhou-kun? If you're not in a rush, I have something I'd like to discuss with you," Symboli Rudolf called out to him, passed her, and stood in front of him, blocking his path.
He could guess what she wanted to say. His brow furrowed, and his tone became quite cold. "Miss Symboli Rudolf, I hope you will not say what you are thinking."
With that, he pulled her hand, bringing her closer to him. She did not struggle and obediently stood by his side.
Seeing the young trainer's reaction, Symboli Rudolf hesitated for a moment, but after biting her lip, she still chose to speak, "I believe that letting Oguri Cap go to Central is the best arrangement for her."
