Recrusive Race V

Speed Joker met other horse girls in her team, after she met Ampere Pellet. This horse girl had a coffee coloured hair, horse ears, and tail. She had cosmic cobalt iris, and cyan pupils in her eyes.

Her name was Six Shooter. Her trainer was Eigen Fujimoto. She was an average horse girl, who definitely had potential to dominate the Toku Shetsho Cup.

Speed Joker saw Six Shooter doing warm up on her legs, as Six Shooter was feeling ready to go.

Speed Joker thought on the scene, {Huh, She is quite flexible on her legs. Similar to Oguri Cap’s style of running, but not close.}

Six Shooter bend forward of her body, which she can reach to the turf on the ground.

Speed Joker squinted her eyes, and continued, {Yup, I was not wrong about it.}

Eigen was beside with Six Shooter, he was drawing up strategies for her to win this race on the clipboard.

The piece paper on the clipboard, it was the map of the entire 1800 meters Sapporo race course. He was more than ready to execute the strategy.

Eigen looked at Six Shooter, and said, “In this race, we are going inside.”

Six Shooter turn her head, turn her attention to Eigen who was behind her. She nodded and said, “Okay, do I need to watch out for anyone?”

Eigen crouch, and let Six Shooter saw another page of a paper on his clipboard. It has the photo of a certain horse girl in it.

That horse girl had a dark liver hair colour, horse ears, and tail. She also had deep cerise coloured iris, and dark violet pupils.

Beside the photo of that horse girl had a name manual written by Eigen, which it said, Fuji Ramirez in the Violet Rush team.

This horse girl was ranked at B8 class. One of the strongest horse girl currently at the track. She would easily passed 1:50.0 on qualifying with out any issues.

Six Shooter said, “Fuji Ramirez? Is not she was one of the prodigy in the series?”

Eigen nodded. He knew about Fuji’s Ramirez’ abilities as a horse girl. It was absolute terrifying on the track when he saw her for the first time.

Around a two years ago. Eigen Fujimoto was still a sub-trainer at Japan Central Training Academy. He was still new on training horse girls.

He was currently under supervision from his trainer, Eimi Arisawa.

Eimi was not an uprising star as a trainer. But she able to make horse girls in the long-distance won many G1 races.

Upon one the races he saw in the track. There were horse girls running all their might, for their dream, and their destiny.

Their stomped on the turf in rhythm, enough to shook the audiences in the spectator stand.

Many people shouted the horse girls name, cheering them on. Some buy their merchandise back in the race track’ facility entrance.

This one horse girl, that made Eigen moved his mind and soul. Who was running in the forefront of the Twinkle Series.

That was Fuji Ramirez. She had an incredible stamina, able to out run the entire pack as she kept accelerating forward.

Slowly, but surely. She was already twenty lengths ahead of many of her rivals. Despite this was her final race. It was an incredible sight.

Eimi said this to Eigen, who was behind him, “Incredible. Many horse girl had limits of three years running in their careers in the Twinkle Series. But this horse girl. She is different.”

Eigen gave a curious look at Eimi, and asked, “What make you think that way, Senpai?”

Eimi gave a small thought about it before she respond, “Just a gut feeling. This was just a beginning for Fuji Ramirez.”

A year later. Eigen Fujimoto was able to become a full fledge Trainer. He was not mistake to be talented.

He tried many horse girl in Tracen Academy. He was able to won few G1 races through out his contract.

Upon bored in many graded races in Twinkle Series. He made a final contract with Aeon Passage, his final trainee at the academy.

After he quitted around Tracen Academy. He already made good byes to Tazuna and Director Akikawa.

Until, he saw one article at Uma Battles forum. There was one niche Series in Japan, experimental for three years in Japan. Its named was Aurora Comet Series.

The JRA created this series to tried on something far different from the Twinkle Series. It had many owner changes, until one done it correctly.

When entering the Aurora Comet Series, he finally was standing where currently at.

When warm up on tracks were finished. Everyone went to sidelines.

There was one official who was holding an Aurora Comet Series flag, waving it through.

In this qualifying race. Only one horse girl take turn. Each team had already assigned at different numbers.

Which Speed Joker, her team. It was dead last.

She saw the number ‘13’ at the white cloth, holding with both of her hands tightly. She murmured, “Number 13 again? Dead last? This world seriously hates me so much.”

There was one more rule in the qualifying run. Each run can only three times. If any of the horse girl can ace the qualifying time at the first try, they would get bonus points to their team.

However, if that horse girl failed at each attempt. Each point would be decreased to zero, there would be no bonus points for that team.

Speed Joker focused on the turf race track. She saw each horse girl doing their run one by one. Each time would announced at the large display, which includes their time.

When it was Speed Joker’s turn. She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes. She was sharpening her horse girl instincts.

With the racing official pulled a bang from its blank gun round. Speed Joker sprinted forward.

Dirt from the ground picked and thrown into the air in each step. Speed Joker kept accelerating, and accelerating. Until she reached the comfortable speed she cruised on to balance stamina and speed. In this strategy she used, she cannot use a spurt at the last moment.

Speed Joker went to the first corner, there were slight uneven turf, but it was not enough to disturbed her.

Into the second corner she kept her speed at a reasonable 60 Km/h until the exit.

Speed Joker saw the slight incline in front of her at the 1000 meter mark. She kept her pace the same, but kept her the same. It did not do much to her stamina. Once reaching at the top.

Going to the 800 meter mark, it was going downhill. Speed Joker press forward, increasing her speed to 80 km/h, her maximum baseline limit.

On the sidelines. Raiketan and Shohei Bado. They were surprised at Speed Joker. Her speed increased significantly at the downhill.

Shohei looked at Shouji with curiosity, and said, “She is going faster than most horse girl. How did you even find her?”

Shouji shook his head, and replied, “I’m not that who found her. Rather, she found me while I was dead drunk.”

Shohei gave a raised eye brow to Shouji, and murmured with slight contempt, “Seriously, how do you even be a good trainer at the central.”

Then he said, “Drunk dead because you got depressed?”

Shouji nodded, “Yup, because of many reasons that you already knew off.”

For Eigen and Six Shooter. They were equally surprised by many other horse girls and trainers from the other teams.

Speed Joker sprinted very fast, and felt that she would beat the record. Which currently hold by Fuji Ramirez at 1:48.1.

When speed Joker nearing the 600 hundred mark, the turf was slightly more flatten than before. She reduced her speed back to 70 km/h.

Speed Joker also had a wrist watch which measured the speed locally using its internal instrument. It was created by her computer engineer back in her Jetsun car company.

She raised her right upper arm to see the watch of the wrist, It hovered of its displayed around 68 to 70 km/h. While the maximum record, it displayed of 81 km/h.

Speed Joker smiled, “Not bad, as expected.”

400 meter mark was coming quickly. She passed it, there was no change in her pace. She did not feel any struggle, her legs was not as light when she did at the start. But it was more than enough to keep going further.

At the 200 meter mark. Speed Joker had more than enough stamina to do her spurt. She the next step of her foot, which was the right one. She stepped on the turf with her baseline strength.

It instantly rocketed her forward, reaching the speed of 82 km/h on her watch.

Back on the spectator sidelines. Everyone went awe at the instant acceleration that was given by Speed Joker. It was undoubtedly, very quick.

Raiketan went serious on her expression. This was her first time seeing a horse girl that did not reach its full potential, and yet, it was going faster than most horse girl currently participating in this race.

When Speed Joker crossed the post finished line when the chequered flag was waved by the race official.

She slowly stopped on the turf, and gave out her breath.

Heat from the her body also released some steam after running very hard on the track.

Shouji went to Speed Joker, as he jumped over the barrier.

He looked at her with a relief, and said, “Well, how did it go?”

Speed Joker raised up her body, and gave a soft smile with small hint of triumph. She replied, “As expected.”

They both turned their head to the full time result, which took her by surprised so as everyone else. It was displayed of her lap time of 1:146.5.

She beaten Fuji Ramirez’ record by a landslide.

Shouji chuckled, then said, “Not only as expected. I knew you would break a record in this race.”

Sometime after the qualifying lap. The sheet line up for tomorrow’s race was given to all of the team.

Speed Joker was placed at the most inner part of the track, number 1. Without a doubt, she really do deserve it after that run.

Raiketan saw Speed Joker that stood near the water dispenser. Her left arm was holding the paper of the qualifying result, while her right hand was holding a cup.

Raiketan went near her, then she said, “Congratulation. You really are something. I guess I underestimate you too much in my mind.”

Sped Joker turned her attention from the paper to the person who called her. She saw Raiketan’s red orange eyes.

She gave small thought in her head, thinking which horse girl it was. The last horse girl that she did not met yet was Raiketan and Six Shooter.

With Six Shooter, she already saw her with her trainer. But she did not paid attention to Raiketan.

Then Speed Joker said with a hint of surprised, “You must be Raiketan? Sorry, that I did not know you back in the warm up.”

Raiketan shook her head, and said, “Don’t worry. Everyone was getting ready to qualify.” She crossed her arms and continued, “Well then Speed Joker. I will hopefully be with you in the race tomorrow.”

Speed Joker nodded, and replied, “Yeah, me too. Hope we can get a good race tomorrow.”

After that small meet up. Speed Joker went back to team meeting room. It was only Shouji and her left in the race course facility, almost everyone from other left too, so they can get some rest for tomorrow’s big race.

Shouji turned off the air conditioner from a small panel. Then he turned his head, and saw Speed Joker. He said, “Let us get some lunch, and rest.”

Speed Joker nodded as she grabbed their belongings, including a laptop with her running performance logs.
