Masayoshi Ubaname comfortably won the final race, the Meguro Memorial.
While Masayoshi Ubaname prepared for his interview, Koichi was getting ready for his 100-win ceremony.
The day's racing was over, and he had reached exactly 100 wins.
"Are you going to change your racing silks, Sasaki?"
Saki Ikegami asked.
After all, they had the Hokkai Ranch racing silks with them.
The Meguro Memorial ceremony took priority, so they would have to wait a while. Both ceremonies were being held in the same place.
"Never mind. There's no need to change my racing silks. We can just wait here until their ceremony is over."
Koichi glanced down at the Sunday Club racing silks he was wearing.
His performance in the Meguro Memorial had been much as he had expected.
Although the horse was already past its prime, the club still wanted to see whether it could achieve a few more results. After all, the club's racehorses generally retired quite late.
"All right, then. I'll go see how the preparations are coming along."
Saki Ikegami nodded.
Some spectators had stayed after the races, and most of them were Koichi Sasaki's fans.
The racing was over, but they knew there was another event today.
"Okay. I'll head back and wash my face first."
Koichi returned to the lounge and picked up his phone. There was still some time before the event ended, and now that he was off duty, he could use his phone.
On the way, everyone chatted about the day's races.
The biggest winner had undoubtedly been Koichi Sasaki. He had reached 100 wins and successfully defended his title.
Everyone also congratulated Masayoshi Ubaname along the way. He had won the final graded stakes race of the day.
Although Koichi had a ceremony today, quite a few jockeys had already left.
