The burden the young prodigy carried.
After Gold Ship's race ended, the production crew that had filmed Koichi Sasaki's interview released it.
With interest surging again, this was the perfect time to air it.
The response even exceeded their expectations. Interest in this newcomer had already reached considerable heights, especially after the interview aired.
Although Koichi Sasaki had previously given an interview on YouTube, this one clearly made a much bigger impact.
It also gave everyone a deeper understanding of Koichi Sasaki.
Restore the glory of the past!
When an opportunity appeared before him, he gave everything he had to seize it, growing rapidly over the course of that year.
Of course, aside from his background, everyone was also interested in some of the racing matters discussed on the program.
How Koichi Sasaki got along with Tyrant.
How he judged the right moment during a race.
How he broke through when other jockeys teamed up against him.
This interview successfully sent Koichi trending once again.
So there was all this behind the prodigy, too. It gave the spectators plenty to feast on, and quite a few left comments hoping Koichi would appear on more programs.
He worked two days a week. Why not spend some of the other days appearing on shows?
Koichi himself had finished his assignment at Tokyo Racecourse and arrived at the Training Center.
Hanshin Racecourse remained his main focus in March, but he would also have work at Chukyo Racecourse and Nakayama Racecourse.
There would naturally be no problems at the other racecourse, but Chukyo Racecourse was the main concern.
He had never been there before.
Its main Grade 1 event was the Takamatsunomiya Kinen.
Having races at other racecourses was a good thing for him, too. After all, he could familiarize himself with the tracks
