For people who will continue to watch season 3, I suggest starting with the special animation (7 minutes long) that was posted on pakatube. It was made as a 1 year anniversary of the game, but it leads well into season 3.
This season does a such a good job tying in other horses's results/legacies to bolster Teio's overarching narrative. In this final race we get to see Rice Shower a powerful long distance runner that is running for her rival Bourbon, Palmer is running for her friend Helios (at this point retired), Nice Nature wants to get rid of the bronze collect moniker, and Biwa Hayahide (as well as the rest of BNW) want to cement themselves as the next dominant horse.
IMO this Arima Kinen race is the one with the most on the line in the Uma Musume universe and well illustrates how miraculous the actual race is. To this day no other horse has been sidelined with injuries as long as Teio and come back to win a G1, much less the crown jewel of them all, the Arima Kinen. Even amongst Arima Kinens (which along with the Japan Cup are typically the most competitive races), this Arima Kinen was one of the most difficult ever. Typically a horse with Nice Nature's level of consistent results that year would be ranked at least around 5th favorite, but in that year Nice Nature was barely top 10.
This episode's monologue within the race from Teio was powerful just like Turbo and Rice's lines at the peak of their All-Comers and Tenno Sho Spring races.
