"Yes!"
Megumi Mitsumori and Mirai hugged each other.
At first, they had thought Golden Recollection would not be able to break through on the inside.
But with 350 meters to go, Gold Ship picked up speed, smoothly shifted position from the inside, and then unleashed a powerful final kick.
He caught Gorgeous Glory up ahead and took first place.
Although Straw Hat's final kick was formidable, he had wasted too much time earlier.
Gold Ship clearly still had something left in reserve.
"Go on. Go welcome our winner."
"Then we'll head over first, Megumi."
Mirai's face was full of joy as she turned and jogged over.
"Go ahead."
Megumi Mitsumori's clenched fists gradually relaxed.
She was thoroughly satisfied with Gold Ship's performance in this race. Now they could focus on preparing for the next one.
This was already their second graded stakes win.
"Young Master! Young Master! Over here!"
Mirai also met up with Gold Ship and Koichi.
"Yeah."
Seeing how happily Mirai was smiling, Koichi waved at her.
He had not let them down this time, either.
Meanwhile, Yamana Takuto took Gold Ship's reins and clipped on the longer lead.
As Gold Ship's rider, he was naturally delighted that the horse had taken first place.
All their hard work during this time had paid off.
"Let's go. I've still got a few things scheduled."
Koichi glanced around.
After this race, he not only had an interview and fan autographs to do, but he also had to ride in the next race.
Once the last race was over, they could pack up and find somewhere to eat.
His agent should have been over by the interview area and was already heading their way.
"Then let's pick up the pace."
Yamana Takuto nodded.
Snort-
Gold Ship shook his head and followed
