So. first of all, massive congratulations to world's best racehorse-elected Calandagan for winning the Japan Cup, and breaking the overall world record of 2400m turf along the way. I guess when we are talking the world's best, the best will most likely still stand on the top. This real life case study today illustrated why during Oguri's time, people really wish to see the Japanese team standing tall at the Japan Cup, as the overseas team is just way too talented and strong (And indeed, for today, some fans are admitting total defeat because Calandagan is just way too strong). They are simply... looking for a miracle...

OK, enough of the intro talk, back to Tama-Chan, and we were immediately greeted with how she met Komiyama Trainer, a wholesome moment that lead to them snatching glories from childhood to Tracen, but I guess it's all good memories that'll last as Tama made his decision to retire, and she quickly tell Oguri (whom had already cleaned entire dishes of high-quality fruits) about that just before the press conference of Arima, when no one is nearby. Shockwaves for sure (as she's the first people apart from officials and Komiyama trainer to know about it), and was quickly left speechless after just a few sentences of understandable rage, and just forget what she should be saying to the press...

Meanwhile, Belno is definitely a detective type of people, instantly knowing Tama was sus from the beginning, and immediately confronted Komiyama and received a secret (A fully tailor-made, all rounded training programme from exercise to diet, as the guy who knew her trainee the best and knows what's her need), and she quickly dismissed from the conference and go to work.

What about Oguri? She also get working immediately, and with the help from Dicta Striker, we know more about "the zone (the aura)", and the 2nd dimension of speed by breaking it, we dunno if the impromptu race by Dicta "the tsundere" helped him to break the barrier or not, but it looked very promising as both Oguri and Belno claimed they get the answer.

But hey, we also know the glory days of Roppei, a feared "Fairy Godfather" among trainers. But now, it's time for "the Godfather" to show his magic against "the Prince", and that aura of Trainer Kouchi, frightening but somewhat depressing somewhat, stuck in the clubhouse and focusing on the small numbers...

And it's time, Arima in Christmas, who's taking the best gift from Santa and won Arima in front of a fullly packed Nakayama Racecourse?

And yeah, bless them for delivering another serving of quality emote faces

It's no small praise that Musaka considers Belno as having great potential as a trainer herself. She seems to have the right mindset and intuition despite being so young.

Who will get their national trainer license first, Belno or Kitahara? Let's start a betting pool.
