It’s the Japan Cup!

The Japan Cup had not been won by Japan since Symboli Rudolf won it 3 years ago and this year was the biggest chance with Oguri and Tamamo.

Compared to Japan the overseas contenders were ultra-aggressive and small bumps and contact was the norm to get the best position in the race.

The riding styles between Japan and the world are so different that nowadays whenever a foreign jockey comes to ride in Japan for a short term license, they are shown a video of dangerous riding styles that are not allowed (apparently the videos where all of a certain European jockey).

This was Oguri’s first time experiencing a race longer than 2000m so getting bumped around also drained stamina.

Tamamo Cross had a fright of going in the pack of horses due to an accident in a race when he was younger so to avoid it took the most outward route. However, this also means he has to cover more ground and use more stamina.

Tamamo Cross’s zone the Shiroi Inazuma (White Lightning) comes from Tamamo’s nickname of the same name. This was originally Tamamo’s sire’s (C.B. Cross) nickname.

So we finish with a cliffhanger with a certain someone ready to reveal her true self next week! I really love this part in the manga and I’m so glad it’s finally getting animated!
