"Triple Crown of Transformation, Platinum must win!"

"Waaah, Tachyon, my Tachyon, now she can't keep the title of the strongest of her generation..."

"Japan's been waiting decades for the Arc de Triomphe, and finally, there's a horse girl with a chance to win!"

"Platinum, please don't get injured like Teio and Tachyon, don't turn the Triple Crown of Transformation into a 'Transformation of the Triple Crown'!!"

The stands were already filled with countless cheers and discussions!

Many Japanese spectators, with the Kikuka Sho still some time away and the Japanese Derby just finished, had already leaped ahead to the Arc de Triomphe.

After all, the fans had been waiting too long for the next Triple Crown horse girl and the victory at the Arc de Triomphe.

And the current Heavenly Horse, Platinum, has the potential to achieve all of that! Therefore, she is bound to attract countless viewers, who will become her fans from now on!

The year before Agnes Tachyon, Tokai Teio, the super-popular heir to the Emperor and undefeated Two-Crown winner, suffered a fracture...

Therefore, the Japanese fans' expectations for a Triple Crown horse girl were transferred from Tokai Teio to Agnes Tachyon.

With Agnes Tachyon easily defeating almost all of her generation's rivals in other graded races and even the Satsuki Sho GI...

Almost everyone began to believe that, barring any accidents, Agnes Tachyon would definitely become a Triple Crown horse girl, and an undefeated one at that!

But who would have thought that this accident would actually happen, causing the Japanese horse girl world to become depressed, as if it had been cursed.

But now... it's different. The Heavenly Horse, Platinum, who suddenly appeared, first took the Oaks, then won the Japanese Derby, and is only one step away from the Triple Crown of Transformation!

As long as Platinum doesn't get injured next, as long as she really wins the Triple Crown of Transformation, then she will be recorded in history in one fell swoop, becoming one of the top two most popular active horse girls in Japan!

But from Tokai Teio to Agnes Tachyon, those two regrets have multiplied the expectations placed on Platinum.

But correspondingly, that worry has also appeared.

After all, even the two geniuses, Tokai Teio and Agnes Tachyon, suffered fractures and injuries, and Platinum, who has been fighting more battles than both of them during this time, may very well repeat their mistakes.

Before Tokai Teio and Agnes Tachyon, there was also the original Phantom Triple Crown, Harvest Moment, who was also unable to participate in the final battle of the Triple Crown due to injury!

Therefore, the current Heavenly Horse is not only bearing expectations but is also being worried about by the audience and fans for fear of physical injury.

The teenage Heavenly Horse is afraid of bone fractures!

So at this moment, in the stands, countless spectators were shouting words of celebration, expectation, or worry.

However, Platinum's own reaction was—

"Ha, is that it?"

In the pattering rain, the silver-white girl, slightly raising her head, stood behind the finish line, her expression extremely calm.

And after crossing the line and winning the championship, her first reaction was to reach out and touch the quiver on her back.

Upon touching it, she couldn't feel anything; the quiver was empty.

Releasing her hand, Platinum slightly recalled the race, feeling fairly satisfied in her heart.

After all, she successfully tested the "Surpass Effect" of this winning outfit, and she witnessed more than one effect!

The Domain Heavenly Horse Vision even has "Field Effects," which is amazing!

(It seems like my domain-exclusive skills should have many, right? They will select the most suitable ones based on the environment and running style.)

(Next time, should I try the frontrunner or leader running style to see the new skills, and... the changes in the Surpass Effect?)

Heavenly Horse has already experienced the winning outfit effect of the Surpass Effect, coupled with the combination of domain skills, which makes her a little itchy.

Because she wants to know...

If she starts a full-on runaway, surpassing all opponents from the start!

Then, what will the Surpass Effect become?

Will it turn into a whole game where the phantom Surpass Effect only appears once, shooting all the dozen or twenty arrows in the quiver at once?

If that's the case, can that still be considered archery!

That's simply machine gun fire, right?

For that potentially happening scene, the assassin girl once again felt some interest in the race.

Currently, she is generally a chaser or closer turned leader, and has not yet performed a true runaway where she surpasses all horse girls as soon as she leaves the gate.

(Then, for the last race of the Triple Crown of Transformation, the Kikuka Sho, it's necessary to try the frontrunner or runaway!)

(Let me see what the Surpass Effect of the next runaway will be like!!)

While Platinum was lost in thought.

Behind the finish line, the other horse girls also crossed the line one after another, gritting their teeth, their expressions still full of disbelief and shock.

Among them was Black Ship, the American horse girl!

"Huff... huff..."

"I really didn't expect that I couldn't even get in the top three, which would qualify me as a backup dancer."

"Disgrace, this is truly the biggest disgrace of my career!!"

Black Ship's expression was full of unwillingness. She knew her aptitude for middle and long distances wasn't the best, but…

But she was an American racehorse! This was just a measly Japanese race!

Back in the day, didn't Japan's strongest undefeated Triple Crown racehorse, Symboli Rudolf, suffer a crushing defeat in America?

Therefore, even though Black Ship felt slightly uneasy, she still harbored the confidence to come and stir up trouble, entering the Japanese Derby.

Who knew she'd run into a downpour, turning the track into a heavy, stamina-draining, difficult course.

This rain ruined her Derby dream!!!

She came to stir things up, but it was like running into someone with a cheat code!!

Wasn't the ranking system in this race a bit too outrageous?

Black Ship, who had just crossed the finish line, wasn't even close to the top three, not even qualifying as a backup dancer for Platinum.

In Black Ship's mind, this was an unprecedented humiliation.

But then, as if she thought of something, she suddenly paused.

"Wait, hold on, Platinum didn't win by just nine or ten lengths."

"That was… a full fourteen lengths! An absolutely massive victory, rare even in America."

When an absolute victory exceeds ten lengths, another hidden mechanism is triggered.

Namely, the legendary—solo dance!

That's right, a solo dance. On the winner's stage that followed, the second and third-place racehorses would lose their qualifications as backup dancers.

Platinum hadn't looked back at all, and the lead she had achieved exceeded even her previous Oaks victory, reaching a solo dance height of over ten lengths!

Thinking of this, Black Ship's initial disbelief and sense of shame eased slightly.

"Jungle Pocket isn't qualified to be a backup dancer either… then it's okay."

"Losing to this monster isn't a disgrace. She really has that kind of strength."

"Never competing against this monster at middle distance again! One crushing defeat like this is enough!"

Black Ship couldn't help but admit that she was inferior at middle distance.

But her pride hadn't been completely shattered.

"From now on, I'll switch to turf mile races, or prepare for dirt races!"

"I refuse to believe that I can't win, even if I encounter Platinum again, on my home turf!"

Not far from Black Ship.

The ferocious expression of a beast on Jungle Pocket, who crossed the finish line in second place, had long since vanished.

Replaced by… a blank stare.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

Jungle Pocket was filled with resentment about her defeat, about losing to the point where she wasn't even qualified to be a backup dancer for Platinum!

This resentment even surpassed the frustration she felt when she lost to Agnes Tachyon in the Satsuki Sho!

"I actually lost, and… by so much!!"

Heavenly Horse Platinum, she was simply a monster whose strength didn't belong to the racehorse species.

"Next Kikuka Sho… ah…"

Jungle Pocket subconsciously wanted to grit her teeth and say she'd get revenge in the Kikuka Sho, but she suddenly regained her composure and stopped.

Could Platinum's long-distance aptitude really be lacking, after winning the 2400-meter Oaks and the heavy-track 2400-meter Japanese Derby in just one week?

Perhaps Platinum's condition in the Kikuka Sho would be even better than in the Japanese Derby!

At that time, she might lose by more than 14 lengths…

Thinking of this, and realizing that the possibility seemed quite real, Jungle Pocket immediately changed her wording.

"Next time, in the Japan Cup or the Arima Kinen!"

"I will definitely get revenge, I will defeat Platinum!"

At the same time.

Inside the Chairman's office at Tracen Academy.

The petite loli chairwoman was out on business, and usually only the green-haired woman Shunkawa Tazuna would be inside.

But at this moment, another tall, mature woman was sitting next to Shunkawa Tazuna, and they were both watching the results of Platinum's Japanese Derby victory on the big screen.

"Tazuna… I'm really not used to your current name."

The tall woman casually joked without turning her head.

Shunkawa Tazuna chuckled and removed her green hat.

With her hat no longer obscuring her, she revealed the horse girl's characteristic ears!

Shunkawa Tazuna, formerly known as the racehorse Harvest Moment, had dominated the track, achieving an undefeated Two-Crown before injuries forced her early retirement, preventing her from competing in the Kikuka Sho.

Therefore, Shunkawa Tazuna was the original phantom Triple Crown horse girl, with Agnes Tachyon unfortunately inheriting the same "phantom Triple Crown" title.

Facing her friend's words, Shunkawa Tazuna said with a smile.

"I'm even less used to your name, Kurifuji..."

"No, you're called Nenfu now, aren't you?"

Compared to Shunkawa Tazuna's racehorse name, Harvest Moment, such a huge difference.

The tall woman's name change was minor; her real name was Nenfu, and she took the name "Kurifuji" to compete on the track.

Due to an unexpected injury, Kurifuji missed the Satsuki Sho, missing out on the complete Classic Triple Crown, and thus competed in the Triple Crown of Transformation!

This tall, mature horse girl was once hailed as the "first and last winner of the Triple Crown of Transformation!"

"Nenfu, how does it feel?"

"Your monopoly on the Triple Crown for so long looks like it's about to have a successor."

"Isn't it a shame to skip watching it live and instead wander around Tracen, watching the livestream?"

Shunkawa Tazuna asked her friend, Nenfu.

Nenfu stared intently at the Heavenly Horse Platinum on the screen, lost in thought for a long time.

"It's not a shame, because this little Heavenly Horse, this isn't the only race where she'll achieve a dominant victory."

"The Kikuka Sho will be Platinum's final battle to pursue the Triple Crown of Transformation; it's not too late to go and watch live then!"

"This little one might truly surpass us, even shake Symboli Rudolf's imperial throne!"
