Training Center
Koichi arrived in the morning.
There were not many racehorses in the Stable at this time, and quite a few staff members had already gone home.
After all, New Year was almost here.
"Asho, did you miss me?"
Koichi asked Golden Masterpiece, who was standing in the doorway in a daze.
Golden Masterpiece was leaving at noon that day, so he had taken the earliest Shinkansen over.
Although there were not many people from the Stable around, there were plenty of crew members. Everyone was preparing for the final shoot. Once this footage was finished, the documentary about Golden Masterpiece would be complete.
Most of the footage shot earlier had already been edited.
Snort-
When Golden Masterpiece saw Koichi greeting him, he turned straight around to drink some water.
Who are you? Don't know you.
"You're not still angry, are you? It's been so long. Stop holding a grudge."
Koichi leaned on the railing and craned his head forward.
Although Golden Masterpiece had not pinned his ears back, he clearly did not feel like acknowledging him.
Had even his heartfelt display at the Retirement Ceremony failed to move Golden Masterpiece?
"All right, then. How about I show you a magic trick?"
Seeing Golden Masterpiece simply stand there after drinking, he could only bring out his trump card!
The magically appearing carrot!
Neigh, neigh-
The moment the carrot appeared, Golden Masterpiece walked right over.
Sure enough, that still reset things.
Golden Masterpiece did not really have anything against Koichi now. He simply did not feel like paying attention to him.
At this time in previous years, he would already have gone somewhere else to begin his vacation. Yet here he was, still stuck in the Stable.
At most, he got to take a few laps outside each day before
