Neigh-!
The moment One-Way Passage stepped out of the truck, he began calling for his best friend.
He had spent this stretch of time elsewhere preparing for a race. Life without Gray Coat had been unbearable.
And now!
He was finally back.
"One-Way Passage's back, huh?"
Koichi happened to be nearby and took the initiative to greet him.
With his Newcomer Race over, One-Way Passage naturally needed a short break. After all, every race took a considerable toll on a racehorse.
Not to mention the long journey afterward.
"Good afternoon, Jockey Sasaki."
"Yeah, Gold Ship's out grazing over there. You'll get to see him this afternoon."
Koichi smiled as he watched One-Way Passage keep calling for Gold Ship.
The two of them had not seen each other for a month.
Neigh-
"Come on, One-Way Passage. Let's go back and rest for a while first."
One-Way Passage's Stablehand smiled helplessly.
Thankfully, One-Way Passage had successfully taken first place in his Newcomer Race.
But they also clearly felt that his condition was a little too inconsistent.
That was not a good thing for a racehorse.
As for how far One-Way Passage could go in the future, they were not quite sure either. For now, all they could do was keep moving him up through the race classes and see how he did.
In the end, One-Way Passage was dragged back without ever getting a response from Gold Ship.
After such a long journey, what he needed most was rest.
A bath, then a meal.
When afternoon came, his Stablehand had no choice but to bring One-Way Passage to its paddock.
After resting, One-Way Passage clearly had even more energy to make a fuss.
Once Trainer Futawatari gave his permission, he was finally let out.
