The Training Center.
The next day, Ayano Aoe brought her assistant to the Training Center in Ritto.
After this period of conditioning, Gold Ship and Golden Masterpiece had clearly shaken off their vacation mood, but to get fully back into shape, they would still have to head over to the other facility.
Keeping racehorses at the Miho Training Center certainly had its advantages. Almost all the major races were held around Tokyo.
They did not have to transport their horses there ahead of time at all.
"Looks like morning training went well today?"
Naturally, Ayano Aoe came to see Golden Masterpiece first.
Once she had finished visiting Golden Masterpiece, she would head to Megumi Mitsumori's stable.
Compared with when she had seen Golden Masterpiece at the ranch, the horse was clearly in much better shape now and had shed a good deal of excess water weight.
As handsome as ever.
Especially when staring blankly into space with that innocent look.
It was a trap to lure you in.
Once you got close to Golden Masterpiece, the horse was sure to scare you and bite at your belongings.
As Golden Masterpiece's owner, she knew the horse very well.
"Golden Masterpiece trained with Ikezoe again this morning, and the results were clearly much better than before. I feel that with a little more time, we should see a really strong performance."
Keigo Kudo spoke.
He had also talked a great deal with Kenichi Ikezoe lately.
After all, they worked together quite often, and Ikezoe had been putting in considerable effort during this period.
Kenichi Ikezoe truly liked Golden Masterpiece.
Of course, Golden Masterpiece had also been giving Kenichi Ikezoe plenty of trouble lately.
As far as Golden Masterpiece was concerned, Kenichi Ikezoe certainly could not keep the horse in line as well
