Episode 9
With their sights set on the grand dream of winning the Arima Kinen two years later, Team Royal—centered around Kurisu (Satoshi Tsumabuki) and Koichi (Ren Meguro)—had forged an unbreakable bond.
Replacing Ryujiro (Mahiro Takasugi) as Royal Family’s primary jockey, Shohei (Shogo Ichihara) prepares to take on the autumn GⅠ season. However, just as the campaign begins, Shohei finds himself unexpectedly caught up in a major crisis.
Meanwhile, Koichi’s rival Nobuyuki (Taishi Nakagawa) is aiming to achieve the coveted Triple Crown of the Japanese Classics—an accomplishment that even his father, Shiina (Kazuki Sawamura), was unable to attain.
As one crisis follows another, their goal of competing in the year-end Arima Kinen begins to seem all but impossible. Even so, Kurisu and Koichi refuse to give up, racing against the odds to protect their team and keep their shared dream alive.
