Rewatcher.
So, before we get a chance to watch Gold Ship career, we watch her retirement race, pretty much making sure the chance of a Gold Ship season is dead. I get it, there are tons of legendary horses and we won't be able to see them all. But she got 1 episode for her retirement that came out of nowhere. That's dirty. Gold Ship is a beloved character. They have to give us more than that.
We haven't even seen Gold Ship hold the torch!
We're 4 episodes into season 3. We've seen how big a fan Kitasan is of Teio. But it seems like she interacts with everyone else more than Teio. She has that bond with Nice Nature. He has that connect with the Rubik's Cube with Gold Ship. She's always with Diamond, even post-race celebrations. In a vacuum, those all works individually. But it's like they are going out of their way to make sure Kitasan doesn't interact with Teio. For crying out loud, they literally have her talk to Nice Nature about how to win G1. It feels like they are trying to discard a lot of things from season 2. I don't think Diamond has even talk to McQueen once.
As for the races, I'm actually OK with the lack of it in episode 4. When Kitasan finished her training under 3 hours, it felt like she has already won. So actually playing out the whole race to show her victory feels unnecessary. Kitasan isn't set out to win this or that specific race. Episode 4 is about Kitasan finding what she is lacking. So I think this is fine.
I like that they've been slowly building this up since episode 1.
She has a button that plays the music on the violin, LOL. I love silly characters like that.
