Lucky draw.
After seeing the two of them off, Koichi began his own round of lucky draws.
This was his last lucky draw of the year.
This chance had been hard-earned. He had only secured it after battling Golden Masterpiece.
If they did it again, he honestly had no real confidence that he could get Gold Ship to finish in another dead heat with Golden Masterpiece.
And there would be no chance after this, either. Golden Masterpiece was already getting ready to return to Aoe Ranch for a rest.
Golden Masterpiece had remained in excellent health after the race.
After resting for a while, he would fly back to Hokkaido from Osaka Airport. Naturally, Koichi would also have to go over to film the final segment of the documentary.
There was no particular hurry right now, though.
Whatever happened, he would definitely visit when Golden Masterpiece left the stable.
Once Golden Masterpiece left this time, he would never be coming back.
"Let's do the draws first. Once they're done, I can stop thinking about them."
Koichi rubbed his hands together, then began his round of lucky draws.
He was no longer the rookie who had only done a handful of draws.
Ding. Congratulations! You received bananas x5. Ding. Congratulations! You received carrots x50. Ding. Congratulations! You received a Track Card x1. Ding. Congratulations! You received an Experience Book x1.
The sight of the Track Card did not stir much of a reaction in Koichi.
The Experience Book was still very useful.
Ever since he had obtained an item like the Track Card, he felt that his chances of drawing one had become quite high. They were a considerable help to him, but he only rode regularly at a handful of racecourses now, and he was already fairly familiar
