The rest of the training went smoothly, and all the data was recorded accurately.
Megumi Mitsumori was naturally very pleased with the figures.
They were far better than anything they had recorded before, showing that Gold Ship had truly reached peak form.
After the training ended, Koichi patted Gold Ship's neck.
Then he glanced back at One-Way Passage.
One-Way Passage had also performed quite well today, and he was sure Tetsuya Futawatari was fairly satisfied with the results.
This year was not when One-Way Passage would be at his strongest, either.
"Sasaki, you did wonderfully today. These figures are much better than before."
Megumi Mitsumori came over with a delighted expression.
After seeing the results of today's training, she felt their chances of winning had improved again.
"Gold Ship really has made tremendous progress lately. I'm sure he'll be in excellent form for the upcoming race."
Koichi was very pleased with the results too, and he hopped down from Gold Ship's back.
There were only a few days left until the race. All they had to do was maintain this form.
Even if the going for the Satsuki Sho turned out to be poor, it was not as though they had never raced on heavy ground.
"Ship, you worked hard in training today too."
Mirai hurried over.
The Young Master gave them a different impression every time he trained.
Now they could head back for a good rest and relax.
"Neigh-"
Seeing his sidekick about to leave, Gold Ship promptly bit down on Koichi's clothes.
He had taken his training seriously today, after all.
"Hm?"
Koichi had been about to continue his conversation with Megumi Mitsumori, but he turned to look at Gold Ship.
His work was done, and now he was not even allowed to leave?
Everyone was baffled.
