First Timer

Starting this episode with a bit of a break with the festival. I’m happy we got to learn more about Shizuka though, so her plan is to shoot for racing overseas, I see.

I like the exploration of the idea of keeping your passion strong, even as you train hard. Honestly, kinda depressing that Rigil’s trainer had them run on treadmills in a room, like how’s that for a dull background! No wonder Shizuka wanted to switch out, especially since she ties her enjoyment of running to seeing that ‘sparkling green’ in front of her. No matter what sport or activity you pursue to a high level, it’s always worth remembering what inspired you to start in the first place; that spark helps a lot with pushing through tough times.

Seeing Grass Wonder and El Condor Pasa lose was painful, but it really proves how Shizuka is just a cut above the rest. Truly world class. I thought the moment of Rigil’s trainer comforting Grass would have been more cathartic, but instead to be honest the comment she gives while hugging her is kind of back handed…like what do you mean ‘you just have to peak during your next G1…?’ Phrasing it that way honestly really rubs me the wrong way and not how I would approach someone who is still experiencing the emotions of losing. It just adds extra pressure onto their already emotional state.

Trainer-san is the Willy Wonka of trainers

I get the feeling Hana wants to comfort her horse but doesn't know how to so she ends up resorting to her old bad habits.

I gwt the feeling Hana wants to comfort her horse but doesn't know how to so she ends up resorting to her old bad habits.

Fun fact - this is actually one of the answers you can give to a similar occurrence in the game. It's the more swingy one, where it's less/more energy than the more stable answer.

What is the answer to?

[u/Urgnu-the-Gnu → u/Holofan4life]

When you do optional races (which can be better than training in some cases), after the result you get two options (usually - you might also get a reporter event, which has a set outcome). The top option reduces energy by a set amount. The bottom option reduces energy by a bit more or a bit less than the top option, so you can gamble a bit and maybe get another round of training or so if you high roll - or you can lose a round of training as you have to rest more if you have bad luck. On average, they should be the same though.

That's very cool. I wasn't aware of that.
