39. G1 - AUTUMN TENNO SHOCopy !req
40. Over 2,000 meters of turf,
thirteen racers will fight for glory!Copy !req
41. TOKYO RACECOURSE
TURF / 2,000 M / FIRMCopy !req
42. And the weather couldn't be better!Copy !req
43. The fall sun shines down
on a nice, firm course!Copy !req
44. Hoping to witness history firsthand,
scores of fans fill the stands!Copy !req
45. Your caster today is me, Akasaka,
with commentary by Mr. Igawa!Copy !req
46. Glad to be here.Copy !req
47. Now then, onto the paddock!
Let's hear a little bit about our racers!Copy !req
48. First up, you all know her by now!Copy !req
49. The Ashen Beast
who's dominating the nationals!Copy !req
50. Bracket one, post one, Oguri Cap!Copy !req
51. Her racewear's so cooool!Copy !req
52. Oguriii!Copy !req
53. You look amazing!Copy !req
54. Undefeated since she came to the capital,Copy !req
55. she now has six graded wins in a row!Copy !req
56. One more and we'll have a new record!Copy !req
57. What?Copy !req
58. Check your facts, you filthy casual!
She's got fourteen wins!Copy !req
59. You trying to say
Kasamatsu don't count?Copy !req
60. Die-hard fans are scary...Copy !req
61. Kick their asses, Oguri!Copy !req
62. Despite this being her first G1,
she appears calm and collected as always.Copy !req
63. Perhaps that means she'll performCopy !req
64. - even better than expected.
- It's almost time...Copy !req
65. Oguri Cap...Copy !req
66. She's already challenging
the peak of Japan,Copy !req
67. long before the rest of us.Copy !req
68. Why do I feel the distance
between us so sharply?Copy !req
69. I...Copy !req
70. Her final spurt never fails to impress!Copy !req
71. On to our next racer!Copy !req
72. The White Lightning
that thunders down the track...Copy !req
73. Bracket six, post nine, Tamamo Cross!Copy !req
74. She's got two G1 wins in a row
and is on a seven-win streak!Copy !req
75. In fact, Tamamo Cross
hasn't lost since last October!Copy !req
76. There's no doubting
this Umamusume's strength.Copy !req
77. Tama... She's on a whole
other level right now!Copy !req
78. Both of them are undefeated this year...Copy !req
79. Can't picture either of 'em losin'.Copy !req
80. That being said, racers from
the Mainichi Okan are here as well.Copy !req
81. If anyone's prepared for Oguri's
final spurt, it's one of them.Copy !req
82. Man oh man...
There's no tellin' how this'll play out.Copy !req
83. What a race.Copy !req
84. Not racing in the Mainichi Okan
worked out in my favor.Copy !req
85. Now no one knows my secret strategy.Copy !req
86. WAITING ROOM
OGURI CAP
Tamamo Cross...Copy !req
87. She's known for rushing in
from the back—an end closer.Copy !req
88. If she's playing this race by the book,
she'll position herself towards the back.Copy !req
89. However...Copy !req
90. She was far closer to the front
in the Takarazuka Kinen.Copy !req
91. Who knows what she'll do...Copy !req
92. From the back... or near the front...Copy !req
93. You know, I don't think I've ever seen youCopy !req
94. so serious about
another racer before.Copy !req
95. Hmmm, I'm not sure why, but...Copy !req
96. Tamamo Cross feels different.Copy !req
97. Well, strategy is important,Copy !req
98. but be careful
not to focus on her too much.Copy !req
99. It's true that Tamamo Cross's running
has an almost explosive power to it.Copy !req
100. But Oguri, your final spurt
is nothing to sneeze at either.Copy !req
101. Just remember...Copy !req
102. you have to make this race your own.Copy !req
103. Do you think I can win, Roppei?Copy !req
104. I don't just think you can win.Copy !req
105. I know you will.Copy !req
106. Tama is usually
super anxious before races.Copy !req
107. I can't even count how many times
I've sent her off while she's still in a funk.Copy !req
108. But that's not the case today.Copy !req
109. She's clearly in top form!Copy !req
110. A'ight!Copy !req
111. That's the strat!Copy !req
112. And now, the racers for the autumn Tenno ShoCopy !req
113. will take to the turf!Copy !req
114. The lone wolf back from Europe
and Derby champion—Copy !req
115. number ten, Sirius Symboli!Copy !req
116. The blazing fire inside
has brought her to this stage.Copy !req
117. Number five, Dynam Heroine!Copy !req
118. This indomitable warrior
is ready for battle!Copy !req
119. Number four, Massive Viking!Copy !req
120. She took second in the spring Tenno Sho.
Will she get her revenge today?Copy !req
121. Number three, Long Live Free!Copy !req
122. This racer's ready to redeem herself
from last year's loss—Copy !req
123. and she'll do it her way!Copy !req
124. Number twelve, Lord Royal!Copy !req
125. She'll race ahead
until she gets her crown!Copy !req
126. Number thirteen, Top Shunbetsu!Copy !req
127. Out of everyone...Copy !req
128. I'd say Oguri Cap
is the biggest threat.Copy !req
129. But then again,
Tama's much stronger now.Copy !req
130. Shortly after her debut,Copy !req
131. she got wrapped up
in a collision on the track.Copy !req
132. She came out of it pretty battered,Copy !req
133. so she started to avoid the pack...Copy !req
134. But once we adopted
the end closer strategy,Copy !req
135. she started to win.Copy !req
136. Her final spurt blasted
past even Akitsu Teio...Copy !req
137. Among end closers,
she's probably the best.Copy !req
138. But as a late surger, Oguri Cap
positions herself in the middle of the pack...Copy !req
139. Waaah? M-Musaka!Copy !req
140. Yo, Komiyama.Copy !req
141. Oooh! Would you please stop
sneaking up on people like that?Copy !req
142. You're the one who
keeps sitting in front of me.Copy !req
143. Anyway... how's Tamamo Cross looking?Copy !req
144. You're about to see
a whole new side of her.Copy !req
145. Listen to those cheers!Copy !req
146. Kinda reminds me of your racing days.Copy !req
147. Yeah.Copy !req
148. We might even get to see
one of them break through.Copy !req
149. Surely if it's those two... well...Copy !req
150. And now presenting
the first-and second-place racers in the polls!Copy !req
151. Their silver locks
flowing in the wind,Copy !req
152. both of our ashen
Umamusume enter the turf!Copy !req
153. Should one of them win,Copy !req
154. she'll break the national record
of consecutive graded wins!Copy !req
155. If the other wins,Copy !req
156. she'll be the first to win
two Tenno Sho races consecutively!Copy !req
157. We're looking at a groundbreaking victory
if either of them win!Copy !req
158. Over 120,000 people are eager to see
which of them will make history!Copy !req
159. Now, before the fall Tenno ShoCopy !req
160. let's hear that fanfare!Copy !req
161. My front running at the Mainichi Okan
left much to be desired.Copy !req
162. Clearly second from
the front isn't enough.Copy !req
163. Maybe I should go for first.Copy !req
164. No, perhaps I should overtake
the lead after the second corner...Copy !req
165. With Sirius Symboli now entering her gate,
everyone's in place.Copy !req
166. All thirteen of our racers
are ready to race!Copy !req
167. The 2,000-meter G1 race on turf,Copy !req
168. the autumn Tenno Sho...Copy !req
169. Begins now!Copy !req
170. - Oh no! Looks like Top Shunbetsu hasn't left the gate!
- In that case, my start is absolutely vital...Copy !req
171. What on earth is she doing?Copy !req
172. After stating she'd lead the pack,Copy !req
173. Top Shunbetsu missed the signal!Copy !req
174. In her place,
Lord Royal roars to the front!Copy !req
175. There's only one thing I have to do...Copy !req
176. And that's to run my heart out,
leaving everyone in my dust!Copy !req
177. What ferocious front running!Copy !req
178. She's three, four, five,
six lengths ahead of the pack!Copy !req
179. They don't call her
Lord Front Runner for noth—Copy !req
180. Huh?Copy !req
181. Tamamo Cross?Copy !req
182. Tamamo Cross is currently
in second place!Copy !req
183. She's positioned herself
towards the front!Copy !req
184. Our racers are headed into the backstretch!Copy !req
185. In the lead is Lord Royal!
And what a strong lead it is!Copy !req
186. And behind her,
in a shocking turn of events,Copy !req
187. is none other than Tamamo Cross!Copy !req
188. What's she doing?Copy !req
189. She's way too close to the front!Copy !req
190. Huh? Why's everyone so shocked?Copy !req
191. Tamamo Cross is usually an end closer!Copy !req
192. What could she be thinking?Copy !req
193. Haha! At this point,
she's basically front running!Copy !req
194. WHAAAAAAAT?Copy !req
195. That's a telling reaction.Copy !req
196. The hell's goin' on?Copy !req
197. I thought she was scared of the pack...Copy !req
198. Maybe she got
caught up in the moment?Copy !req
199. After these two, running on
the inside is Long Live Free!Copy !req
200. Followed by Sirius Symboli!Copy !req
201. Top Shunbetsu has caught up
and settled behind them.Copy !req
202. As for Oguri Cap,Copy !req
203. she's settled in the mid-pack,
her eyes fixed on Tamamo Cross!Copy !req
204. Is she panicking?Copy !req
205. No, doesn't seem like it...Copy !req
206. Tamamo Cross...Copy !req
207. What are you thinking?Copy !req
208. As they round the third corner,Copy !req
209. Lord Royal is still in first!Copy !req
210. Her lead's now three to four lengths!Copy !req
211. And she's maintaining it with ease.Copy !req
212. Last year, Akitsu Teio
beat me in terms of speed,Copy !req
213. so I had to settle for second place...Copy !req
214. But that won't happen this year!Copy !req
215. I'm the only front runner!Copy !req
216. The 2,000-meter races
at Tokyo are my specialty!Copy !req
217. If it weren't for her, I would've won!Copy !req
218. Being the lone
front runner is the best!Copy !req
219. Currently in second is Tamamo Cross!Copy !req
220. She's taken an uncharacteristically
aggressive approach today!Copy !req
221. Following on the outside is Kailash Amen,Copy !req
222. - She doesn't seem like the type
- but Gulps follows close behind!Copy !req
223. to crack under the pressure of a big race...Copy !req
224. Yeah, this is Tamamo Cross
we're talking about.Copy !req
225. More likely...Copy !req
226. I see now.Copy !req
227. This is exactly what she wants.Copy !req
228. Oho... confused, are we?Copy !req
229. Makes sense—Copy !req
230. I'm never near the front.Copy !req
231. After that collision,
I defs steered clear of the pack.Copy !req
232. Mid-race, I'm always
in the back waitin' to strike.Copy !req
233. That's my style.Copy !req
234. But can I really keep winnin' like that?Copy !req
235. No way.Copy !req
236. You think I'm cool with winnin'
usin' a style born from my fears?Copy !req
237. Like hell I'd ever let that happen.Copy !req
238. I got over those fears
at the Takarazuka Kinen!Copy !req
239. This is my style!Copy !req
240. And it don't fit in any of your boxes!Copy !req
241. ASDFGHAUGH!Copy !req
242. A-are you okay?Copy !req
243. So even Komiyama
didn't expect this shift.Copy !req
244. Tamamo Cross...Copy !req
245. She might be more
than we bargained for...Copy !req
246. Don't lose your cool, Oguri.Copy !req
247. What you need to do hasn't changed.Copy !req
248. She's so far ahead...Copy !req
249. We're almost at the fourth corner.Copy !req
250. Should I close
the distance between us?Copy !req
251. Just remember...Copy !req
252. you have to make this race your own.Copy !req
253. No, calm down.Copy !req
254. What I need to do now is...Copy !req
255. Wait it out!Copy !req
256. Our racers approach the zelkova treeCopy !req
257. in between the third and fourth corner!Copy !req
258. Oguri Cap is still in the mid-pack,
waiting to make a move!Copy !req
259. Testing out a new strategy here
is something else...Copy !req
260. Whether it'll help or hurt her...Copy !req
261. I'm not sure.Copy !req
262. Quickening your pace does come
with a heavier toll on your stamina.Copy !req
263. But much more than that...Copy !req
264. It's a shift psychologically too...Copy !req
265. Yes.Copy !req
266. Changin' up your style's no easy task.Copy !req
267. Front runner, pace chaser,
late surger, end closer—Copy !req
268. Tamamo Cross is an end closer.Copy !req
269. She's never been
pressured from behind.Copy !req
270. But she's pace chasin' todayCopy !req
271. which means she's feelin'
the eyes of everyone in the pack right now.Copy !req
272. And what's worse,Copy !req
273. in that pack is none other than...Copy !req
274. Oh man, talk about pressure!Copy !req
275. What the heck's goin' on behind me?Copy !req
276. Just where is she?Copy !req
277. When's she gonna make her move?Copy !req
278. Should I take a look?Copy !req
279. C'mon, what am I thinkin'?Copy !req
280. I just needa do one thing!Copy !req
281. Speed ahead!Copy !req
282. At the moment,
Lord Royal is still in first!Copy !req
283. But with Tamamo Cross closing in,
her lead is now only two lengths!Copy !req
284. Excellent! Running on the inside
helped me avoid extra distance.Copy !req
285. I've still got plenty of stamina.Copy !req
286. In front of me are...Copy !req
287. four racers!Copy !req
288. There! A path!Copy !req
289. Dynam Heroine makes her move!Copy !req
290. You got some nerve...Copy !req
291. And now my path is blocked again!Copy !req
292. What should I do...
Go for the far outside again?Copy !req
293. Uh-oh, Top Shunbetsu's slowing down!Copy !req
294. Looks like making up for her
late start wore her out!Copy !req
295. An opening!Copy !req
296. Perfect timing!Copy !req
297. You have my thanks, racing gods!Copy !req
298. We've reached the fourth corner!Copy !req
299. Our racers are entering
the last 500 meters!Copy !req
300. She keeps going!Copy !req
301. Lord Royal hasn't lost steam!Copy !req
302. Can she keep this up?Copy !req
303. 400 meters to go!Copy !req
304. I've won!Copy !req
305. I surged ahead at the start
to get a good leadCopy !req
306. before slowing down in the mid-race!Copy !req
307. I'm sure everyone thinks I wore myself out
and shifted to a slow pace.Copy !req
308. But I've only gone down
to my middle pace!Copy !req
309. One furlong in under twelve seconds!Copy !req
310. The perfect pacing
for mid-distance!Copy !req
311. All the final spurters probably
assumed I'd slowed downCopy !req
312. but I've actually been
whittling away their energy!Copy !req
313. Conserving my own staminaCopy !req
314. while taking away my opponents'!Copy !req
315. That is my front running!Copy !req
316. This race is at the mercy ofCopy !req
317. Lord Front Runner!Copy !req
318. Not even Tamamo Cross or Oguri CapCopy !req
319. stand a chance against me!Copy !req
320. This victory is mine!Copy !req
321. On your right.Copy !req
322. Tamamo Cross has caught up!Copy !req
323. Okay... now to rub it in
with my spurt, but when?Copy !req
324. Other than Lordy
there's still HeroineCopy !req
325. and Sirius.Copy !req
326. And of courseCopy !req
327. the biggest threat of 'em all...Copy !req
328. Since coming here,Copy !req
329. Oguri's won most of her races
by late surging from the far outside.Copy !req
330. It's not really a strategy—Copy !req
331. more of a display of brute strength.Copy !req
332. But the fact that she
continues to win like thatCopy !req
333. shows how much potential she has.Copy !req
334. Hate to admit it...Copy !req
335. but Four-Eyes was right
to call her a beast.Copy !req
336. Pegasus Stakes,Copy !req
337. Mainichi Hai, New Zealand Trophy,Copy !req
338. Mainichi Okan...Copy !req
339. All those wins have taught her
to believe in her strength.Copy !req
340. And that is what
she needs today.Copy !req
341. From the outside, it's Oguri Cap!Copy !req
342. Oguri Cap races ahead!Copy !req
343. You can do it,Copy !req
344. Oguri.Copy !req
345. Oguri Cap!
She's closing in on the lead!Copy !req
346. 'Bout time ya showed up,Copy !req
347. Beast!Copy !req
