But perhaps because she had been too busy, there was still no word from Tokai Teio by the day before the race.
Though somewhat surprised, Anjing Zhen did not dwell on it too much.
Following the plan step by step, he brought Kitasan Black to the accommodations specially provided by Hanshin Racecourse. Almond Eye and Wang Ziding accompanied them as support staff.
Helping Kitasan Black prepare everything she needed for a race was nothing new for Almond Eye.
The moment she entered the room, she eagerly and methodically laid out the equipment she had prepared one item at a time.
From the G1 Race outfit to custom horseshoes, and energy foods such as bananas, chocolate, and drinks, she carefully inspected every item to ensure there were no problems.
Wang Ziding looked equally experienced. Seeing Almond Eye busy organizing the gear, she actively helped clean the room, thoughtfully adjusted the bathroom water temperature, and checked the sink, bathtub, and everything else.
After finishing her own work, Almond Eye saw Wang Ziding wiping down the bathtub while wearing cleaning gloves. She hurried over to help, asking with curious surprise:
"I didn't know you were so good at this too, Little Ding. I don't think I've ever heard you mention it before?"
"Huh? I never mentioned it?"
Equally surprised, Wang Ziding thought back, raised a finger and wagged it, then said with slight dissatisfaction:
"I should have mentioned it, right? Senior Gold Artisan and the others came to Hanshin Racecourse to race all the time. I often came along to help and learn. Don't treat me like some pampered young lady who can't do anything."
Wang Ziding and Gold Artisan were both Horse Girls from the Gold Ship Family, a family that could be called regulars at Hanshin Racecourse—especially at the Takarazuka Kinen.
