To do this, he repeated the video over and over again.

Then, such thoughts began to spread like weeds.

"It seems we can give it a try."

Although it was not certain how confident he was, he did not even have time to prepare reasons that would be enough to convince the horse owner.

But it was brought up anyway.

For Tanaka, this is a rare opportunity.

He must hold on tightly to things that are more important than grades, money, and reputation.

Those things that have supported him in sticking to his job as a horse trainer for twenty years.

"Sorry, just treat it as nonsense."

Tanaka took a deep breath and continued, "But Sakuya does have such talent."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The horse owner, the producer, the rider, the stable boy, everyone looked at Tanaka.

"Let's see what the situation is like then."

Kitano hesitated.

A one-month interval between races is naturally not a problem for normal horse racing.

But when it comes to Mejiro Sakuya, who suffers from Stringhalt, it inevitably adds a bit of uncertainty.

He looked at Xuhe Zhang.

Although I have veterinary training, I still have to seek advice from other professionals when it comes to things like conditions.

After a brief thought, the old man nodded.

"Then Sakuya, you can try this direction first."

In the end, Kitano gave a relatively positive answer.

"And Pegasus, too."

Then, Tanaka said something that surprised everyone.

In the Future Stars competition, Mudashi Baima, who was ranked third in popularity before the game, only finished seventh.

At least in terms of local rewards in Hokkaido, there is not much advantage in the number of flights.

There is a huge exchange reward for the strong horses from the central government to compete. This prospect is not optimistic in any way.

"Pegasus?"

Even Ochiai, the main rider, had a puzzled look on his face.

As early as the third 1500m Xinguan Town Horse Special, Medaima's range was almost clear.

Given that he barely won the 1500m by relying on his natural instincts and his performance in the major reward race was not up to par, the 1800m JBC2 year old was not a reasonable choice for a second race no matter how you looked at it.

The JBC 2-year-old elite horse event, scheduled to be held on November 3rd, has five runner-up spots allocated to the central and local governments.

This means that even in a class with few trainers, not every stable can send a horse to compete in this event.

And Tanaka will take up two of them at once.

One of them is Mudhime, who doesn't seem to be suitable no matter how you look at it.

At this time, Tanaka had already put down his chopsticks.

"Pegasus will also participate."

he repeated.

"Have you forgotten how we won third place two years ago?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the stable nodded their heads, revealing an expression of "I see".

Even Ogawa Jō and Kimura seemed to have noticed something and looked at Tanaka with meaningful eyes.

It seemed that among all the people present, Kitano, the horse owner, was the only one who was still in the dark.

"Is it the electric rabbit?"

Ogawa Jō tapped the table with his fingertips and pursed his lips slightly.

"Electric Rabbit. If you put it that way, it's indeed a similar tactical concept."

Tanaka turned his gaze to Kitano: "However, the final decision still lies with Mr. Kitano."

"me?"

Kitano, who was looking down to guess what the tactics of "Electric Rabbit" were, raised his head.

"Yes."

Tanaka took out his phone and clicked on a video.

The video was not unfamiliar; it was the recording of the Future Stars' match last night.

Tanaka clicked play.

"At a relatively fast overall pace, Sakuya ran very comfortably."

After the video was over, Tanaka spoke.

Kitano nodded.

He could still see a little bit about this.

“But by the time JBC turns two, there’s no guarantee it will be a rhythm similar to last night’s.”

Kitano nodded again.

He was naturally aware of this.

The overall pace of the race is determined partly by the lead horse and partly by the willingness of the horses behind to follow.

"So if you want to increase your chances of success, you need to try your best to guide the match to a rhythm that suits Sakuya."

As of now, this is not even a theory.

However, similar practical experience had already occurred two years ago.

In the 2023 JBC 2-Year-Old Excellent Horse, in addition to the original stable ace Black Butler, Tanaka also sent another less popular horse to participate for various reasons.

"Make Black Butler's run as comfortable as possible."

This was the instruction Tanaka gave to Iwahashi, the rider of the horse at that time.

Deyuan, the horse owner, also agreed to this approach.

In the end, Black Butler finished third behind only the two central horses with popularity among the top five horses in the race.

And this time, he saw the possibility of going a step further.

"So, Pegasus will be in charge of creating a rhythm that suits Sakuya, right?"

Kitano asked.

Several people, including Tanaka, nodded at the same time.

Chapter 56: Considerations of All Parties (4K)

"That's it-"

The drawn-out tone was followed by a period of silence.

Mudai Hirama will become a victim in the next game.

This was to increase the confidence of Mejiro Sakuya, which even Tanaka himself couldn't tell how much.

So, do you want to try it?

He continued to look in the direction of Xuhe Zhang.

"In theory, there is no problem."

The old man paused slightly, then said this.

The slender fingertips tapped the table rhythmically.

The two ends of the scale seemed to sway left and right with the rhythm of the fingertips.

Standing on top are the figures of Lumao and Lumao.

Soon, the balance began to tilt in Deer Hair's favor.

But before he completely tilted his favor towards Mejiro Sakuya, the balance in his mind paused.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for Kitano, the horse owner, to make a decision.

For Kitano, such an idea was completely unprecedented.

When it comes to choosing the next race, I often rely on suggestions from people I know.

It became a slightly troublesome situation.

With his limited knowledge, he was unable to make any accurate judgment about the current situation.

I have some idea about the so-called "electric rabbit".

However, it is not clear whether this is necessary.

"Want to try 'that'?"

Suddenly, he remembered an item that he had never purchased after unlocking the system mall.

【Advisory Group Support】

An expensive, disposable item of unknown effectiveness.

The high cost of 50 green amulets made Kitano put this item aside for quite a long time.

However, I still have enough green amulets on hand.

Three months after the Hokkaido Selection, the number of green amulets, which had once fallen to double digits, has risen back to a considerable level.

confirm purchase.

[Advisory support: can provide advice on breeding direction, training plan, and migration prospects (1/1 time)]

This kind of explanation is exactly the same as if it didn't exist.

250 million yen just disappeared like that.

However, now is not the time to worry.

Select the target as the outgoing prospect and click Use.

In an instant, a long list popped up in front of me.

Kitano was almost shaken to death.

"JBC 2-year-old excellent horse. JBC 2-year-old excellent horse."

Fortunately, the system was quite intelligent in this regard, and soon locked onto the target of the game under his constant recitation.

Below that is a column for runaway racehorses.

It looks like only one can be chosen.

Without hesitating for too long, Kitano confirmed the object to be used.

Mejiro Sakuya.

Click to use.

There was no information popping up immediately like the [Detector].

At this moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated.

three times in a row.

He recovered from a state that looked no different from a mechanical doll to others.

I immediately felt several different gazes.
