"Corner Positioning" and "Corner Blocking" operated on roughly the same principle; the difference was that the former had lower requirements for application.
To achieve Corner Positioning, cooperation between one or two Horse Girls was enough, whereas the latter required two or more opponents.
At a turn, influenced both by the subjective desire to stay close to the Inner Lane and the objective force of centrifugal force, Horse Girls in the Lead Position would often block the path of those behind them, while the runners in second and farther back would be displaced to a certain extent.
As a result, if an arc were drawn outward from the leader, the inside would be caught or sealed off within it.
If the Horse Girls in second place and beyond were accelerating, the Horse Girls on the inside would be blocked while also falling into a cycle of stamina consumption from correcting their route and breaking out of the encirclement.
As a leading Horse Girl, the positions where Kitasan Black could naturally perform at her best were first or second in the pack.
Corner Positioning and Corner Blocking were precisely methods that could effectively limit her abilities.
Daiwa Scarlet and the others were all experienced Horse Girls and understood this junior well, which was why they had used such techniques during the practice race.
One of the most effective ways to deal with this situation was the "Gradient Acceleration" Kitasan Black had used in the early stages.
Different levels of acceleration were used when entering the turn, making the turn, and exiting the turn. Due to this characteristic, Gradient Acceleration could easily cause opponents to misjudge the situation, creating opportunities to claim position and overtake.
Kitasan Black had handled the early turn without any issues, successfully using the technique. Both the timing and
