I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

"Barbatos, of course!"

The Condor replied without any hesitation.

There was an unusual amount of confidence in her words, "Xiaoba is my opponent, I won't lose here."

"You're right."

Good Opera reached out and smoothed her bangs. "If she loses, then all our trips here would be in vain."

Apart from the “Emperor”, these legendary horse girls have lost games before, but now that the Winter Dream Cup is approaching, if they lose the game, their form in the next Dream Cup is likely to decline.

Given the gap we already have, let alone competing with these legends.

This is the confidence of the legendary horse racing ladies in their own abilities and the gap between them.

Whether it's Cao Shang Fei, Shen Ying, or Barbatos, they are all excellent. Jiu Er has the opportunity to become a legend like them, but now he still seems a little immature.

……

Barbatos slowly walked into the gate following the guidance of the staff.

Next to her is the second most popular Sakura Ranbu. Her victory suit is very much in the style of Japanese horse girls, with most of it being cherry blossom colors.

While recuperating from her injury, she and Xingyun Tiankong watched a video of Sakura Ranbu's race together. Her opponent was a horse girl who was very good at taking the lead, and she had used the escape horse running method in two games.

They are considered to be the best of their generation and will most likely sign up for next year's Classic or Mares' Triple Crown events.

Noticing Barbatos's gaze.

Sakura Ranbu's pale blue gaze met his, "Have you fully recovered from your injuries?"

"I have fully recovered. Thank you for your concern."

"No, I just wanted to defeat a Barbatos in his prime."

"In this competition, the winner... will be me."

Her originally confident pre-match declaration faltered when she remembered Barbatos' words, and she decided to change her tune. "This time, the winner will definitely be me."

If someone said something like this, Barbatos might have said, "Looks like the competition for second place is pretty fierce."

Just thinking about it makes my blood pressure rise. It is possible that Barbatos will lead the pace.

Compared to those horse girls who have participated in the competition for two or three years, these horse girls who have just debuted for the first year are no weaker than them, but they are more youthful and more susceptible to trash talk.

By next year or the year after, Barbatos’ trash talk will probably no longer have any effect.

"First place~"

Barbatos deliberately lowered his voice as he spoke, "Actually, even I'm not sure about this competition."

"?"

Sakura Ranbu slowly uttered a question mark.

Why is Barbatos' speaking style a little different from before? He used to be shouting and talking trash about you all being competing for second place, but why is he like this now?

The simple-minded horse racing girl's expression was very confusing, but she did not let her guard down and kept an eye on the starting time.

When she found Barbatos next to her, she chose to take the initiative to talk to him, taking the initiative in her own hands. After all, according to her research on Barbatos, many horse girls were late because of her trash talk.

Unless you cover your ears with your hands when you start running.

But they have their own confidence and pride in being able to participate in G1 and the Hanshin Special Youth Tournament, and it is impossible for them to cover their ears before the game like they do in other competitions.

"Look at that horse girl in lane 13. From what I understand, she's been in previous races..."

Barbatos's voice trailed off.

Sakura Ranbu couldn't hear clearly even if she tried hard. She knew the horse girl in Lane 13. They had competed together and she had lost to her. But was Barbatos saying that she was hiding her strength?

The voice behind was unclear, but I could guess what it was.

But is it really necessary for a horse girl to hide her strength? For a horse girl, running fast can break everything!

boom!

Just as Sakura Ranbu was trying hard to listen and think, the red light on the gate flashed.

The gates opened instantly.

Sakura Ranbu, who was distracted, rushed out of the gate as soon as possible despite being prepared, but her starting speed was still a little slow.

Is this Barbatos' plan?

Barbatos, you are so despicable!

Chapter 163 Misunderstanding!

“The runners have already rushed out of the gate. What a perfect start!”

“No one was late this time!”

The commentator was talking about the live broadcast.

As for being late in G1-level competitions, it is a very rare thing, but she still mentioned it specifically because it is very easy to be late in competitions with Barbatos.

According to the data of competitions Barbatos has participated in, the probability of adjacent contestants being late is as high as 60% or more.

There have been a lot of discussions online about this situation, which has become a feature of Barbatos matches, especially after the other players in the last Tokyo Sports Cup chose to cover their ears.

"The third-ranked Free Soldier is currently in the middle and didn't choose to distance himself from Barbatos right from the start."

"She's a horse racing girl who's very good at racing horses."

"Are you planning to compete with Barbatos in the final stage to see how fast his last kick is?"

"Teacher Wu Feng, what do you think about this?"

The live broadcast turned around and asked. From her point of view, the position difference between the running style of the trailing horse and the chasing horse style of Barbatos was very small. So without widening the distance, it would be difficult for the free soldier to beat Barbatos.

"The Free Soldier player's response to Barbatos is a very mature choice."

"Based on her previous races, she has never used a runaway style. If she changes her style in this race, she will likely lose speed in the second half."

"Only by maintaining a good running style and focusing on what she does best can she unleash 100%, or even 120%, of her potential."

Taketoshi calmly explained his views with a smile on his face.

Even for a horse girl who can be called a "monster" in the G1 level, if she changes her running style, it is easy for her to have problems with properly managing her physical strength, which will lead to her not being able to fully display her own strength.

There is obviously no problem with the choice of free soldier players.

It will now depend on whether she can push past her limits, or whether player Barbatos can perform at her usual level.

"So that's it."

"Then we can look forward to the showdown between Free Soldier and Barbatos in the second half!"

Speaking of this, the live broadcast could not help but let out a sigh.

"Sakura Ranbu's position is also at the back!"

You know, Sakura Ranbu is a horse girl who is good at running ahead and has used the escape horse running method. Is this a new running method that she is trying for Barbatos?

"She must have been affected when she started running."

Taking note of this, Taketoshi continued, "Before the match, she and Barbatos had a conversation."

"Although she paid close attention to the moment the gate opened and didn't appear late, her start was obviously affected to some extent."

"I'm now returning to my best position, which will take a lot of energy."

Shikuang nodded, "So that's how it is."

……

On the track.

Barbatos was at the very back as always.

When she first took part in the entrance examination, because of her speed and her knowledge of the other horse girls in "Oyster", she used the chasing running method, which has now become the running method she is best at.

Even though I could try changing my running style now, I wasn't ready to try it during the first G1 when I was playing it safe.

Looking at the free soldiers in front of him.

Looking at the Sakura dancing as they passed by him, overtook the Freedom Soldiers, and reached the leading position.

A strange feeling came over me.

As a G1-level event, she thought it should be inherently more difficult than a G2-level event, just like the difference between a simple human-machine and an ordinary human-machine.

But it seems that there is not much difference between this game and the previous ones.

"Are they conserving their energy to compete with me in the final sprint?"

"No, that shouldn't be the case."

Although she lacks in sprint duration, in terms of sprint speed, she should currently be in the first tier below the legend. Even the Condor and Silent Suzuka are probably not her opponents.

Her eyes were fixed on the horse racing ladies in front of her, and when they exerted their strength, she would change her position in advance.

Prevent unmanageable changes from occurring later.

Even though it is a special youth competition, it should not be underestimated as a G1 level event.

As someone who often uses the horse-chasing running method, she naturally knows that the speed required to run in the last position in each race is different, and that being able to run in the last position and running in the last position have different meanings.

……

in the audience.

Canopus where everyone is.

Ikuno Didus couldn't help but feel a little confused. "It's true that running at your own pace is fine, but how can you handle a sprint like that?"

You have to know that in the previous competition, she, Excellent Quality, and even Nebula Sky who had taken the lead in opening up the distance were all caught up by Barbatos.

Is this the difference between G1 Uma Musume and them?

Or is it that some of them have also mastered the use of "domain" and are confident that they can surpass Barbatos in this regard?

"So Xiaoba will definitely win this game!"

Twin Turbo said confidently, hands on hips.

Ulala echoed with equal energy, "Yes, I also have a feeling that Xiaoba will definitely win the Hanshin Cup!"

Excellent quality can't help but complain, "If only it were like this."

This is the Hanshin Cup. Even the legendary trainer Takenori said that there is nothing wrong with the way the Free Soldier runs. This means that if the Free Soldier continues like this, he will have a chance to compete with Barbatos for the victory.

Sakura Ranbu is also not an opponent that can be underestimated!

Listening to the discussion among his horse racing girls, Minamisaka sighed softly.

As a trainer of Central Treson, he had already seen the problem, and what Senior Wu Feng said was completely correct.

Focusing on your own running style without being influenced by other horse girls is often better than changing your running style at the last minute.

However, as the specially invited commentator, Mr. Takefeng has some things that are not convenient for him to say as a commentator.

This also caused them to fall into a misunderstanding despite their excellent qualities.

There is indeed a difference in competition standards between G1-level and G2-level events, but it ultimately depends on the horse girls who participate in the competition. For example, some G2 contestants are all G1-level horse girls, and the value of such contestants is often not lower than most G1s, or even higher!

Free Soldier and Sakura Ranbu, they are both the best of this generation.

But can they be stronger than the tacit understanding between Takarazuka Kinen 5 and the opening of the field?

Lost to Holy King Halo of Condor, Special Week and Barbatos. Does that mean Holy King Halo, which debuted later, is necessarily weaker than Sakura Ranbu and the others?

Chapter 164 It turns out that I am not the protagonist...

Osaka Racecourse.

"There are only 1000 meters left to the finish line!"

"Even though Sakura Ranbu had trouble at the start, she still managed to get to the lead!"

"high speed!"

"She has no intention of slowing down. Is she planning to completely distance herself from Barbatos?"

The reality is speaking like this.

If the Free Soldiers have no experience in advancing or escaping, then Sakura Ranbu has real experience in escaping and has sufficient control over her own physical strength.
