Saturday.
Although several major racecourses had entered their break periods, there was certainly no shortage of races.
A new beginning, new hopes.
Everyone could also use this time to find a horse from the new generation to support.
Epiphaneia had naturally moved from the Training Center to the racecourse as well.
This would be his first race as a racehorse.
Megumi Mitsumori and Mirai had both come to watch.

Hearing people talking outside, the dozing Epiphaneia woke up.
Then he spotted two familiar two-legged creatures.
A rub over his face, then a squeeze of
