Clip-clop, clip-clop-
Freshly washed and groomed, Epiphaneia carried Koichi off to work.
Since he had nothing else planned that day, Koichi decided to take Epiphaneia along for morning training.
When he arrived at the training grounds, Tetsuya Futawatari and Megumi Mitsumori were assigning tasks to the exercise riders.
Every racehorse needed different training, and even the intensity varied.
That was why the trainers had to arrange everything before they started.
"Long time no see, Sasaki."
"Long time no see, Trainer Futawatari."
The two exchanged a brief greeting.
Over the past few months, he had also taken on some work with three-year-olds from Tetsuya Futawatari.
A trainer's schedule was unpredictable. They might be at the racecourse or back at their home base supervising the other racehorses' training.
"I heard Japan Jordan is entering the Spring Tenno Sho too?"
"There's still a race at Hanshin before the Spring Tenno Sho. We just sent him over there to start training."
Tetsuya Futawatari nodded.
As for the jockey, he had already found one. It truly was a shame that Japan Jordan could no longer partner with Sasaki.
What had happened last time made it clear that, no matter how great the glory on offer, Sasaki would still choose Golden Masterpiece.
"Then don't go easy on us when the time comes. I'll be off."
Koichi smiled and nodded, then gave the command to move forward.
For now, Epiphaneia was training with a two-year-old racehorse under Megumi Mitsumori's care.
This was another way of helping Epiphaneia overcome his excessive desire to lead the other horses.
Unfortunately, the results had not been particularly noticeable.
That was why they were also giving the jockey choice plenty of thought. If Koichi could not ride Epiphaneia, they would have to find someone who specialized in handling stubborn horses.
