After all, internationally speaking, the so-called Japanese star Uma Musume has no reputation at all. They are just the bottom of the idols and underground idols.

Despite extensive promotional efforts, previous Arima Kinen tournaments have consistently generated minimal overseas interest, effectively rendering them ineffective. Many foreign viewers instantly tuned out of the game upon seeing the title "Japanese match," with no interest in clicking through to see the underdogs battle it out.

Therefore, the overseas publicity effect of Arima Kinen and Japan's URA on Pegasus Platinum...

It cannot be said that there is no effect, it can only be said that it is a negative effect in the opposite direction, which is holding Tianma back.

Under such circumstances, Tenma Platinum invested little in the promotion of the Arima Kinen race, making it comparable to the [World's No. 1 Turf Race: Arc de Triomphe] and [World's No. 1 Clay Race: Breeders' Cup Classic]!

In the eyes of the event staff in Dubai, Platinum accounts for 120% of the credit out of 100%.

As for URA and Arima Kinen, they are a combined 20% behind. Without the drag of Japanese competitions, but with international GIs that have a regular presence, their popularity will only rise to a new level.

In their view, this statement is not an exaggeration but a realistic evaluation.

The Dubai World Cup is an internationally influential event, but Dubai officials believe this isn't enough and want to expand its influence.

Unfortunately, simply spending a lot of money on prize money is not enough to surpass the world's top few like the Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup.

It can be said that the Dubai World Cup has currently reached a somewhat embarrassing bottleneck period.

After huge expenditures and continuous publicity and promotion every year, it has become well-known, surpassing most international GIs.

As for the Japan Cup, it is often jokingly called the "Little Dubai World Cup", which is enough to prove that the efforts and results of the Dubai event officials are definitely better than Japan's URA.

If the influence of the Japan Cup is 50 points and the prize money is 85 points.

The Dubai World Cup has an influence of 80 points, the grass Sima Classic has a prize money of 90 points, and the clay court World Cup has a prize money of 98 points!

In comprehensive comparison, the gap is quite large.

Compared to other competitions, the Japan Cup can be praised for its prize money, but compared to the Dubai competition, both the grass and clay courts were completely defeated.

But the official goal of the Dubai event is not just to surpass ordinary international GIs like the Japan Cup.

The event officials want to make it a world-famous World Cup, a top super competition that will instantly make you a recognized world-class leader once you win, or even a world horse king level competition!

But those top-tier races, like the Breeders' Cup, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Emperor's Trophy, have all been steeped in history, producing countless world-class winners, and even more than one or two historic champions...

To reach that level, simply throwing money at it is not possible. It requires coincidence and a long period of historical accumulation to achieve it.

but now--

The shortcut that can significantly shorten the long settling-in period and make the Dubai World Cup, which has long been at a bottleneck and difficult to break through, is right before their eyes!

That is——【Pegasus Platinum】!!

In short, I want Tianma to participate in the competition very much!

No matter what the cost, it is definitely worth it in the eyes of these Dubai event officials.

"But the trouble is, Shirogane is a Japanese horse racing girl."

"The Japanese horse racing girls don't like expeditions, but only love the Arc de Triomphe. I wonder if this will continue with Platinum."

"If Platinum has no interest in expeditions, then she definitely won't participate in the Dubai World Cup."

After all, the Dubai World Cup is only slightly more internationally influential than the Japan Cup, but not as influential as the British Ysend Cup, which Platinum had already won.

For Platinum, the Dubai World Cup is probably not much different from the other Japanese GIs that she swept, right?

Since Japanese horse racing girls are unlikely to travel far, Platinum has even less reason to come to the Dubai World Cup.

So even they had to admit that besides the fact that the prize money was quite good, a few hundred million more than the Japan Cup and the Spring Triple Crown...

Our own World Cup does not have many advantages and highlights to attract that historical Pegasus, and has nothing but prize money.

Now I am worried, very worried that I won’t be able to attract platinum.

World-class horse girls need to prove themselves through international GI.

As for historical horse girls, most international GIs hope to have horse girls of such high status and influence participate to prove their own historical status.

The legendary Uma Musume Eclipse, once the strongest in the grasslands, even has an international GI championship named after her in Europe, the Eclipse Championship!

As for the current Tianma Platinum, she has already surpassed the world class. She has reached the level where the Dubai World Cup officials are racking their brains and hoping that she will sign up. It can be said that she is worthy of the title of historical level.

I'm afraid that even those super events with the highest influence and status would be very happy to see Platinum's participation.

In the future, when Platinum becomes a legend, maybe some GIs will really change their names or be named in her honor!

"The trouble is... from the way they doubled the prize money for the Chrysanthemum Award to attract Tenma back home, it's clear that URA still has some brains and is quite shrewd."

"Therefore, URA will most likely press on with their victory and add very high bonuses to the Spring Triple Crown, continuing to attract platinum players to stay in Japan instead of traveling abroad."

"In reality, no matter how much the URA offers, it can never outperform us."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of helplessness in the voice of the president of the Dubai event.

because……

"But, Shirogane is a Japanese horse racing girl."

"As long as URA doesn't cause any problems internally and shows sufficient sincerity, even if the bonuses and benefits offered are far inferior to ours, Platinum will most likely not come."

"After all, Dubai is a bit far away."

"As long as Japan's URA has helped Platinum in the past, and then shows sincerity by offering a large bonus, who wouldn't be moved? They might keep her."

These words caused the whole audience to fall silent.

then……

One of the staff members, who was fluent in Japanese, seemed to see something incredible when he looked down at the document.

Those were two of the latest Japanese documents, namely "New Terms for Spring Triple Crown Benefits" and "Osaka Cup Ticket Reservations and Sales Start in Advance!"

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The staff member immediately picked up the document and began to read it.

"Japan's URA benefits are out, specifically..."

After a short while, after reading it all.

In an instant, the whole audience fell silent again.

Compared with the previous silence and collective sighs of frustration, the Dubai competition staff at this moment collectively showed a reaction of surprise and astonishment.

"what??"

"No, you're not brave enough to give Tianma such a small amount of money?"

"No, that's not a gift. You have to win three consecutive Spring Triple Crowns to get it. If you miss one game by mistake, you'll have nothing. You'll then be working for URA."

"So URA is so stingy, is this something you can even afford?"

Then, one voice after another was filled with emotion and ecstasy.

Because they immediately understood that the opportunity...had come!!

URA's popularity overseas has been expanding and soaring recently, which makes them all jealous.

The hero behind this is definitely not URA, it is definitely because of Platinum!

After Platinum had achieved many achievements for it, URA was still able to offer such stingy conditions, which confused the event staff in Dubai.

But what is certain is that the opportunity has come!

The prize money for each GI competition in the Spring Triple Crown is not high, and the total prize money for the three competitions is only slightly higher than their Grass Course Classic Sima Tournament.

3GI is only slightly higher than 1GI, and the welfare requirements are very strict. You have to make history and get them all before you can finally get it!

Even if all three games of the Spring Triple Crown are added together, including the newly added bonus, they would not earn as much as the highest clay court game in their World Cup, the Dubai World Cup.

"Not only that, they suddenly started pre-selling Osaka Cup tickets just a few days after Platinum won the Arima Kinen."

This is not only insincere, but they simply want to squeeze out the maximum profit from Platinum and make URA's performance reach new heights.

"It's clear they're trying to exploit Platinum's fame and maximize their profits."

"Since they're there to make money, it's no wonder they're trying every possible way to cut costs on platinum bonuses and benefits."

Then, the president of the Dubai event showed a confident but modest smile.

"Okay, then... then it goes from being impossible to having a reasonable chance of successfully inviting Pegasus."

"By the way, although our pure prize money is no less than the URA GI competition prize money plus benefits, we still have to show our sincerity."

"How about adding a new 'Promotional Competition Benefits Clause'? Top players who can bring high-value publicity to the World Cup will receive additional..."

"33% to 50% of the prize money after the competition, right?"

Sniper at the middle gate!

Dubai has been afraid of everything, but it has never been afraid of prize money!

Didn’t URA win all the games in the Spring Triple Crown, and only give a mere one-third?

Well, then they’ll just offer a 33% guarantee for the Dubai event. Even if you don’t win, you’ll still get a payout! The more you win, the more you’ll get!

The maximum increase is 50%! That’s an amount comparable to the prize money of two or three GI competitions in Japan, and at most half more can be given away!

"Okay, I think it's good."

"Well, there's no need to calculate anything or think about making a profit. You just need to show sincerity to foreign geniuses."

"Wouldn't the share be a bit less? Bai Jin must have run the 2400m grass Sima Classic. The prize money isn't as high as the 2000m clay World Cup. It's only about the equivalent of two or three Japanese GI races."

"Yeah, if you want to show your sincerity, you might as well do it in one go!"

The group of staff members in front of the president either nodded in agreement, thinking it was good; or some even shook their heads and said it was too conservative and a bit too little.

The radicals decided to offer a bonus and share that was twice as much as the URA Osaka Cup prize money, but the conservatives felt that the radicals were too conservative and stingy.

"Well, we can discuss it in detail and add more."

"For Tianma, we must not be stingy like URA. We must show the style and grandeur of Dubai."

The president immediately nodded, thinking that as long as Tianma was willing to come, it would be worth it and he could add more!

You know, Japan's prize money for competitions is already among the highest in the world, and it is famous for its "stupid people with a lot of money".

But if the URA executives heard the conversation between the Dubai event staff in front of them, they would probably be stunned.

"No, buddy..."

"Don't you care about making money and the cost?"

But the truth is—

indeed.

Because... the horse racing competition in Dubai is funded by the Dubai royal family and is managed by one of the country's leaders!

If a problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem.

Words like making money, recovering investment, and cost are not in the Dubai Events Association's vocabulary at all.

Anyway, no matter how good the operation is or how much money is earned, it is not as much as the royal family watching the game happily and making a payment...

Therefore, the Dubai event officials only consider whether the competition is exciting and whether it can expand its influence worldwide.

As for Platinum, every game is either a great escape or a great chase, all of which are the most world-shaking running methods, which can definitely make the game exciting to the extreme.

The Japan Cup and Arima Kinen, mere events that are even inferior to the Dubai World Cup, have skyrocketed to levels comparable to the Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup thanks to the presence of Platinum! The extent of this expansion in influence is simply legendary!

It can be said that platinum meets the two most desired points of the Dubai event officials.

Since the establishment of the Dubai World Cup, there has never been a horse racing girl that they love and look forward to so much!

This is simply a Pegasus from heaven!

Since Japan's URA doesn't cherish it, then the only option is for the association to use the sky-high bonus to comfort the injured little Pegasus.

"As long as Platinum is willing to come, this year's Dubai World Cup will be the grandest one since its inception!"

"This will be a Dubai World Cup that will be hard to beat in the next ten or twenty years, right?"

"Platinum, I will definitely challenge the 2400m Dubai Sima Classic on grass."

"In the 2000m World Cup on mud track, there will be a two-wielding monster who can be considered, to some extent, the strongest in history!"

Usually, the strongest horse girl in history is prefixed with certain regions.

For example, the former strongest horse racing girl emperor Rudo, symbol of Japan's history, is actually questionable whether his strength is even at the world level.

The "strongest" in history mentioned by the Dubai Tournament Director doesn't have any prefix! This simply means he's the best in the world!
