The jockey and owner had both agreed to use all prize money on the horse, causing quite a stir and earning widespread praise.
However, from a commercial standpoint, if they did not want Bay Romance to fail in the future and lose value, this might very well have been its last race.
Still, that was a good thing for the horse. It was only bad news for spectators who wanted to watch it race.
Ogura Asahi's interview was still ongoing.
"Miss Ogura! Why do you put on a performance before every race? Is it to warm up the crowd?"
"Mm~ not every race. There have only been two so far, right? I just wanted to warm up a little."
"Miss Ogura! You have amazing physical conditioning! Your flexibility and strength are both incredible. Have you trained since childhood? Did you study dance?"
"I've kept up with exercise since I was little, and I've also learned several kinds of dance."
"Miss Ogura! Why have you never used a whip in any of your races? How do you let the horse know it needs to speed up?!"
"Mm~ that should be a secret... Fine, since this is my first interview after winning a major race, I'll tell everyone!"
The reporters below, even more numerous than those at a G1 race, instantly held their breath and focused harder than elementary school students in class.
"Actually~ I've had a talent for getting along with animals quickly since I was little! So even without a whip, I can convey that I want the horse to accelerate!"

What did that mean?
Getting along with animals... Did he think he was Tarzan?
"S-So... you can communicate with animals?"
