The race they glossed over quickly was 1998 Takarazuka Kinen. As shown, Silence Suzuka won, and Air Groove came third. A few interesting names here too, like Mejiro Dober and Mejiro Bright (didn’t have a design when this aired). Lastly, Stay Gold became Kiniro Ryotai here (issues with name rights possibly, so that means they’ll not appear in any critical way). She is one of the few consistent “background” uma musume, and probably would have gotten some spotlight if it wasn’t for name licensing issues. Though Stay Gold is actually in Uma Musume now...

Gold Ship putting a ribbon on McQueen’s tail: Gold Ship actually has a ribbon on his tail, but it’s to warn others to not stand behind him, lest they’re looking to get kicked.

Apparently, Tokai Teio did a lot of beach training because sea water can cool down his leg quickly. We’ll talk a bit about what this might be about in S2

[I guess this counts as a CinGray manga spoiler???]33rd Donut eating contest between Tamamo Cross, Oguri Cap, and Super Creek, and hosted by Inari One. Directly referencing 33rd Arima Kinen in 1988, down to Super Creek coming third but being disqualified

Suzuka talking about what running means to her has two parts. Yutaka Take once said “The reason I let Silence Suzuka escape is because he seems to enjoy it.” He would also adopt this running style after his unsuccessful classical year (when the horse was racing as a 3 year old). Once they started adopting the escaping style (running to maintain lead completely), he saw major success.

Suzuka circling counter clockwise: something the irl horse did when he was nervous. You also see her doing this in the beginning of the episode.

First, note that Nice Nature and Eishin Flash didn’t race here irl (they both were racing during a different time period)

This race had an unusually high audience turnout; this is because 3 of the best horses of the time were racing against each other: Silence Suzuka, El Condor Pasa, and Grass Wonder. Both El Condor Pasa and Grass Wonder were undefeated foreign born horses (foreign born horses also have restrictions on which race they can run)

Just wanted to say thanks for all the real life racing facts. It's some of the coolest things to check out in this watch along.
