The debut race for Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka was set at 1800 meters. They were drawn in gates three and five.
Between the two, Daiwa Scarlet shot out first. Her running style was to lead from the front. Her powerful explosive force allowed her to instantly dash to the front of all the horse girls, taking the lead position. However, Daiwa Scarlet wasn't like Twin Turbo with a reckless great escape. She had a planned lead, maintaining her own pace until she crossed the finish line.
Behind her, Vodka was in the front pack. She was now at least three horse lengths behind Daiwa Scarlet. She wasn't in a hurry now, but kept her eyes on Daiwa Scarlet. She would exert force from the middle and then fight with Daiwa Scarlet on the final 200-meter straight.
It could be said that although Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka were very nervous before the race, they both calmed down after the race started, completely immersing themselves in the competition.
The audience at Tokyo Racecourse had relatively normal expressions at first, just focusing their attention on Daiwa Scarlet, as everyone tends to watch the leading horse. They found that Daiwa Scarlet had good explosive power, but whether she could lead to the finish line was the most important thing. If she lost steam midway, everything would be meaningless.
As for Vodka, she was just sticking close to Daiwa Scarlet and hadn't attracted much attention.
However, when the race reached 1200 meters, 1400 meters, and even 1600 meters, many people had already noticed something was wrong. The expressions of the audience at Tokyo Racecourse gradually changed as the race progressed. Some people even sat up straight, showing expressions of great shock.
Because they had discovered it.
After entering the final straight of the race, Daiwa Scarlet was still leading from the front, without any sign of losing steam. At the 200-meter mark, she had already pulled away from the other horse girls by three horse lengths. But what was even more surprising was that behind her, Vodka, with an astonishingly destructive momentum, swerved to the outside and suddenly accelerated, coming up to be neck and neck.
In an instant, this spectacular scene made some audience members sit up straight. They hadn't even expected to see such a head-to-head duel between two horses in a debut race. And not only were they head-to-head, but their times were extremely short, and their last three furlong speeds were extremely fast. Some people even had a crazy thought.
Could it be that they were witnessing the birth of two extremely strong horse girls?
They didn't have time to think, but continued to watch the race.
At this moment, in the final sprint stage, Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka, these two horse girls were neck and neck, neither giving an inch. It was extremely exciting and shocking.
"Haaa!!!"
"Haaa!!!"
A sharp aura emanated from the two of them. Their determination to win made them both explode with all their strength, and they finally crossed the finish line almost at the same time.
The audience erupted in cheers. Everyone was fiercely debating who the final winner was.
In reality, in the battles between Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka, Daiwa Scarlet won slightly more times. But their most classic battle, the 2008 Autumn Tenno Sho, was won by Vodka.
In the Autumn Tenno Sho, Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka also fought to the very last moment. After more than ten minutes of frame-by-frame analysis by the JRA officials, Vodka won by a 2cm margin. And this Autumn Tenno Sho is also a very exciting and famous race in the JRA history. Vodka's final time was 1:57.2, pushing the record set by Special Week in 1999 and maintained by Symboli Kris S forward by 0.8 seconds.
In the Cygames project, Vodka's height is 2cm taller than Daiwa Scarlet, which comes from this race.
However, the record for the Autumn Tenno Sho has now been broken by a junior. Tosen Jordan, in 2011, directly pushed the Autumn Tenno Sho record forward by 1.1 seconds, reaching a terrifying 1:56.1. At that time, countless people believed that this record would be difficult to break again.
But on October 29, 2023, a horse named Equinox, the world's top horse, appeared out of nowhere. In the Autumn Tenno Sho, in an almost impossible manner, he ran an astonishingly terrifying time of 1 minute 55.2 seconds. This was also the first time a horse in the JRA had run under 1 minute 55 seconds. Unprecedented and likely unrepeatable.
...
Soon, the result of this race came out. Daiwa Scarlet won by a narrow margin. This was not surprising. In a race between the two of them, either could win.
Daiwa Scarlet was overjoyed. She could get the training reward. Vodka was extremely depressed, fuming at the result. She also knew that it was her first race and she had no experience. She accelerated too slowly and the victory that was within her grasp was gone.
Soon, everyone was on their way back to Team Spica.
"Damn it, how could this happen? You all must think I'm so embarrassing... I can't believe I lost the victory just like that. It really doesn't feel good... Is this what defeat is like?" Vodka gritted her teeth, feeling extremely upset.
Her reaction was actually the same as her real-life counterpart. The real Vodka had a strong competitive spirit. When she lost a race, her mood would sour, and she would need a horse or a person to comfort her. She would lift her hoof and stomp angrily. How did I lose? I'm so mad!
"It's okay, Vodka. Even though you lost, Daiwa Scarlet won..." Xu Zong's words warmed Vodka's heart for a whole day.
Vodka almost coughed up blood. Every word Xu Zong said was like a sharp knife stabbing into Vodka's heart. She was about to faint from anger. Now she was even more depressed.
"I say... you..." Daiwa Scarlet couldn't listen anymore. She was originally gloating and wanted to brag, but hearing Trainer Xu Zong's words, it was too hurtful. Good thing she won. If she had lost, and Trainer Xu Zong had said, "It's okay, Scarlet. Even though you lost, Vodka won," she would have stood there and cried for an hour. No, why would she cry? She would have given Trainer Xu Zong a body slam and tearfully chopped him down.
However, Vodka then found that she had completed the training reward, because her training reward was not to debut first, but to be in the top three. Her reward was a beautiful carrot and a cool motorcycle magazine. Because she didn't get first place, the reward was relatively average. One of these two rewards was for her, and one was for her real-life counterpart.
In her heart, she wanted the cool motorcycle magazine because she loved cool things like motorcycles. When she was a child, she would sit on the back of her dad's motorcycle, riding and leaning into the turns, which was very exciting. But Vodka was very kind and decided to give her beloved cool motorcycle magazine to her real-life counterpart. She would just take the carrot.
Daiwa Scarlet didn't rush to claim her reward. She decided to check it out after returning to her dorm.
However, in the real horse world.
Tanino Farm.
"Vodka, there's a gift from an anonymous fan." The stable staff said happily, then placed a beautiful motorcycle magazine in front of the carrot-munching Vodka.
"?" Vodka moved her hoof, a question mark appearing above her horse head. What is this?
Tracen Academy.
Xu Zong also took all the horse girls from Team Spica back to the gym. Although it was Saturday, the training had to continue. But Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka didn't have to. They had just finished a race, and the most important thing was to rest. But Vodka, this girl, didn't listen at all. Xu Zong could only let her do some endurance training, and Daiwa Scarlet followed suit.
After they finished training, they all took a shower, changed into their casual clothes, and returned to Team Spica.
"Trainer Xu Zong, is this the mahjong you were talking about? Can it really train intelligence?" McQueen, the plump horse, asked curiously.
"I don't know how to play." Daiwa Scarlet also didn't understand.
However, they studied it together for a while. After Xu Zong's explanation and the introduction of the rules, they quickly understood.
With nothing to do at night, McQueen, Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka, and Gold Ship started playing. Spe-chan also understood the rules, but she still chose to watch. Suzuka was the same.
Gold Ship even said, "This feels quite interesting, at least better than training. Training? What's the point of training?"
McQueen said, "Honestly, a little entertainment is fine, but we still have to focus on running."
Special Week: "Oh, it looks so cool. I get it, but I need some time to get used to it."
Silence Suzuka: "It's okay, I'll teach you, Spe-chan."
In Team Spica, the horse girls started playing mahjong and got hooked.
At this time, Xu Zong was writing his diary. Today, Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka had completed their training goals. He was naturally concerned about his beloved horses in Team Spica, so he immediately looked at their real-life horse information again.
[Hahaha, I saw the news about my real-life horses today, Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka. I have to say, they are worthy of being the beloved horses of Team Spica.]
[Just like at Tracen.]
[The real-life counterparts of these two girls were enemies for life from the very beginning.]
[In the era when they raced together, they were called the Twin Empresses!]
[In 2007, when Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka met for the first time, they didn't know each other at all. But on the racetrack, Daiwa Scarlet proactively reared up, provoking Vodka.]
[It can be seen that Daiwa Scarlet had already recognized Vodka as her strongest opponent at that time.]
[However, some people at the time interpreted that Daiwa Scarlet rearing up was not necessarily a provocation, but that she really liked Vodka. Rearing up was just a way of wanting to get close to her. After all, it's very common for mares to get close to each other.]
[What can I say, this is actually quite normal. At Tracen, their relationship is very good. They've had three "breakups" this week, argued more than ten times, and had over a hundred meme battles in the group chat. I'm dying of laughter.]
[At that time, Special Week was stunned. Coming from the countryside, she had never seen so many memes. She couldn't even save them all.]
[I wonder when their next fight will be. I estimate it will be tonight. If they fight, I'll write it directly in the diary. I am the historian of Team Spica, specializing in recording embarrassing histories, hahaha.]
[Let me continue to see. The story of these two is still very interesting.]
As Xu Zong wrote this, his log appeared in front of everyone again.
In Team Spica.
When Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka first saw it, they were extremely surprised. They had just finished playing mahjong. They were called the Twin Empresses? Were they that strong? Is that really me? Daiwa Scarlet thought she was amazing, but the title of Empress belonged to a senior like Air Groove. However, Vodka also had this title. Was there a mistake?
However, when Daiwa Scarlet saw the following content, she was completely at a loss. Hey, what do you mean I lifted my leg because I wanted to get close to Daiwa Scarlet? When she saw it, she gritted her teeth in anger. Trainer Xu Zong, you shameless thing, don't talk nonsense! Her real-life counterpart lifted her leg, it must have been to tell Vodka, "So you're the one called Vodka, huh? Just you wait, sis is gonna take you down today." How could she possibly take the initiative to ask Vodka for affection? It would be impossible even if the sky fell.
When Vodka saw it, she was also at a loss. But she didn't expect that in the real-life world, it was Daiwa Scarlet who took the initiative to provoke. That was quite interesting. But she was more concerned about who won. And she was also a bit stunned. Had they really argued so many times this week? Hmph, who asked this unromantic woman to always be so arrogant and conceited.
Elsewhere, this one was on another level.
"Oh my god, the Twin Empresses! Let me bow down and pray for your blessing." Hishi Miracle was all about following her heart, making a gesture of worship. She was a horse girl who worked hard within her means. Now she was one step ahead, directly worshipping.
"Hehe, I'm a real rookie. I've already lost eight times in my debut race. I don't know when I'll win. When I win one day, I'll bow down to you again. It's all thanks to you." After Hishi Miracle finished speaking, she also began to think.
"Should I go for another run now? Let's push a little harder. If I lose for the ninth time, I'll just go home and farm." Hishi Miracle made a joke. Life is like that, optimistic and positive.
However, what she didn't know was that she really did lose for the ninth time before finally debuting. Don't go home and farm, you must run one more race! It could only be said that at Tracen, Hishi Miracle was full of hardships.
And it was the same in the real horse world. The horse Hishi Miracle was not looked upon favorably from the very beginning. After all, she ran ten times just in her debut race. It was hard to believe that such a horse had any bright future.
However, after her debut, she performed well in the following conditional races. She ran second once and first once in OP races, becoming a 5 million yen class horse. And it only took her three races to reach the 10 million yen class. The farm spent 6.5 million to buy Hishi Miracle back, and at least in terms of prize money, it was already equivalent.
Afterward, Hishi Miracle's camp let her try to run the Kobe Shimbun Hai to see if she could get the right to run in the Kikuka Sho. But unfortunately, she finished sixth and had no chance. Hishi Miracle's owner also felt that she couldn't run the Kikuka Sho. Although he could pay a supplementary registration fee of 2 million yen to participate, he still had to go through a 3/8 lottery, so he decisively gave up.
However, Hishi Miracle's trainer, Masaru Sayama, stood up. He was convinced that Hishi Miracle had long-distance talent, so he chose to register Hishi Miracle for the Kikuka Sho without telling the owner, Masayoshi Abe, and paid an extra two million yen in registration fees. After that, Hishi Miracle entered the lottery for horses with the same prize money in the Kikuka Sho, and she was finally favored by the goddess of luck and got the qualification to participate.
However, Hishi Miracle did not know that she was about to participate in one of the most entertaining Kikuka Shos. This 2002 Kikuka Sho was basically the most chaotic Kikuka Sho in the history of Japanese horse racing. First, after the start, the jockey Yutaka Take on the back of No Reason (the horse's name was No Reason) was thrown off, causing 11 billion yen in betting tickets to be instantly voided. And when Yutaka Take rolled on the grass, the whole field was in an uproar.
However, Hishi Miracle seized this opportunity and rushed out at this time, using the ups and downs of the third corner of Kyoto to close the distance with the leading and front-running horses. On the straight, she engaged in a sprint battle with the 16th favorite, the chaser "Tateyama Hayakoma." In the end, Hishi Miracle won by a nose, thus achieving an unprecedented upset in Japanese history. This was also the first miracle in Hishi Miracle's career.
The commentators at the time were all greatly shocked. They shouted, "It's actually Hishi Miracle! This year is going to be another big upset!" And after the race, the commentator said, "The race is over. The winner is Hishi Miracle. And on the back of No Reason, there is no sign of Yutaka Take." At that time, the horse No Reason was strolling on the track, looking around at the two-legged creatures with its head held high.
In the president's office at Tracen.
"The Twin Empresses?" Air Groove saw it and smiled with satisfaction. She was once called the Empress, and now Tracen had a successor. She looked into the distance, like a witness, watching Tracen prosper step by step.
And she also noticed now that Trainer Xu Zong seemed to distinguish between fillies and colts. They didn't know this meant gender, but were just wondering if it was divided into the latter three crowns and the classic three crowns. Actually, there was some truth to what she said. But she would later find out that it actually meant gender.
In Uma Musume, fillies have their ear ornaments on the left, and colts on the right. Only Marvelous Sunday, that silly girl, has ear ornaments on both ears. She was originally imported from Ireland as a filly, but it was later found that she had a genetic abnormality and unfortunately had no offspring. If the silly girl knew that the ear ornaments represented gender, she would probably look at her two ears and fall into deep thought. Am I a boy or a girl?
And at this time, Xu Zong's diary continued.
[As the saying goes, when women fight, it's the most intense.]
[Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka fought with great passion.]
[It can only be said that both had their wins and losses.]
[But I didn't expect that the real Vodka is very afraid of loneliness and often gets close to other real horses.]
[I can picture it in my head.]
[Vodka approaches a real horse and starts to get close.]
[She says something like this.]
["Good sister, don't look back, I'm Vodka."]
[But Vodka, this girl, is not sensitive at all. She's quite casual and cool, like me.]
[Daiwa Scarlet, this girl, has been extremely sensitive since she was a child. She's a scaredy-cat. Any movement behind her can scare her, and her hooves just jump around. Look at you, can't you be a little more stable like your Trainer Xu Zong?]
[I can probably imagine Daiwa Scarlet's reaction at that time.]
["Oh my god! My stable moved, I'm not running anymore!"]
[Hahaha, this girl, I didn't expect the real horse to be such a klutz as a child.]
[It reminds me of her and Vodka's great-granddaughter, Azuki.]
[Azuki has now become the bully of the stable, specializing in bullying the foals. She's tyrannical and domineering. If the other foals don't listen to reason, she uses her fists to teach them a lesson.]
At this time, at Tracen.
Vodka spat out a mouthful of water. What's going on? Daiwa Scarlet and her have a great-granddaughter? Who is Azuki? Both of their CPUs were fried. And Daiwa Scarlet was very motherly. For a moment, she wanted to go and hug her great-granddaughter. This naughty child, this temper, was really worrying.
And Daiwa Scarlet couldn't stand it anymore. This Trainer Xu Zong, how could he say such things? But she was really exactly like her real-life counterpart as a child, afraid of the slightest rustle of wind.
"Aaaahhh! I have to take him down today!" Daiwa Scarlet directly wanted to deal with this narcissist.
"Calm down, calm down," Vodka held Daiwa Scarlet back.
[However, I didn't expect Vodka to be so popular. She has her own fangirl.]
[That is Red Desire from Dubai.]
[During the Dubai expedition, after Vodka left due to injury, she became irritable and lost her appetite. Her training and racing condition were all gone. The team tried various methods but couldn't improve the situation. In the end, they printed out a photo of Vodka and pasted it opposite her, which barely improved the situation, but her racing condition was still not good.]
[Remember to give her more comfort then, Vodka.]
[But her true love is still Daiwa Scarlet.]
[However, there is one thing that saddens me.]
[After Vodka retired, she passed away prematurely in less than nine years.]
[Only Daiwa Scarlet is still alive.]
[A message was uploaded from the real horse world.]
[Vodka in heaven: "I won this time, I crossed the line first! But don't you come!" Daiwa Scarlet (crying): "What are you so proud of! I will definitely not go!"]
[Tears.]
At this moment, in Team Spica.
"Eh..." Daiwa Scarlet was originally reading intently. When she saw the news of Vodka's death, she was stunned. To be honest, although she was often angered by Vodka on a daily basis, the moment Vodka was really gone, her mind went blank. She looked at Vodka, and for some reason, a trace of heartache appeared in her heart.
Daiwa Scarlet was sentimental. The thought of Vodka dying made her eyes turn slightly red, and she felt like crying.
"Hey, are you an idiot? I'm still alive. Honestly, I will save Vodka." Vodka quickly changed the subject. She couldn't stand seeing others cry. It was too troublesome. But she scratched her head. However, the dialogue she saw was indeed in Daiwa Scarlet's style.
"Honestly, what are you so proud of? I was worried about you, you know. I'm not going to worry about you anymore." Daiwa Scarlet turned her head away, but a small pearl of a tear fell.
For a moment, they were both silent.
"Alright, I'll live a long life," Vodka coughed awkwardly.
"Oh? How long?" Daiwa Scarlet was speechless.
"About this long?" Vodka was a bit of a klutz, gesturing back and forth with her hands. Her dancing and gesticulating made Daiwa Scarlet laugh, her eyes curving into crescents.
As expected, these two should discipline Azuki together. This girl was getting more and more out of control. And Azuki would probably be able to race in 2024 or 2025.
However, at this time, Xu Zong dropped another bombshell.
[Oh my god, I drew Admire Vega today.]
[I didn't expect her real-life counterpart to be a bit tragic too.]
[Her mother was originally pregnant with twins, but in the end, only she survived.]
