[00:53] Shun
    Good morning!
[00:59] Shun
    Morning, everybody! Let's do our best today!
[01:04] Shun
    Morning, Kikumi!
[01:07] Kikumi
    Hey there.
[01:14] Shun
    Hey, Kisuke. You're in
    a good mood today, huh?
[01:17] Kikumi
    Hey, Shun, I'm thinking of giving
    him some extra feed today.
[01:20] Kikumi
    He's looking a little thin.
[01:22] Shun
    Roger.
[01:24] Tayasu
    Give Kisuke one hour of lead exercising,
[01:26] Tayasu
    followed by five laps of light
    canter on the round track,
[01:30] Tayasu
    then a solo 5F15 on the E course.
[01:33] Tayasu
    Finish it up with some free riding,
[01:35] Tayasu
    then 40 minutes of cooldown.
[01:37] Tayasu
    Give Naichi Tiger one
    hour of lead exercising,
[01:40] Tayasu
    followed by five laps of light
    canter on the round track,
[01:43] Tayasu
    then a solo 5F15 on the hill course.
[01:46] Tayasu
    Finish it up with some free riding,
[01:48] Tayasu
    then 40 minutes of cooldown.
[01:50] Tayasu
    That's today's training menu.
[01:54] Tayasu
    Sumeragi-sensei, your turn.
[02:00] Sumeragi
    I'm seeing a lot of problems
    with your timers lately.
[02:02] Sumeragi
    We need good data, so make sure
    your paces match the clock.
[02:06] Sumeragi
    Report anything that seems wrong,
     no matter how minor.
[02:09] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[02:11] Sumeragi
    Kazanami-kun, you've been here a month.
[02:14] Sumeragi
    Stop expecting to be treated like a trainee.
[02:17] Sumeragi
    Act like a professional jockey.
[02:20] Shun
    Yes, ma'am.
[02:22] Sumeragi
    Now, get to work!
[02:26] All
    Thank you, ma'am!

[04:04] Eri
    Kazanami!
[04:06] Eri
    Morning!
[04:07] Shun
    Morning!
[04:20] Tayasu
    They're at 12-12.
[04:22] Sumeragi
    Not bad.
[04:23] Sumeragi
    The legs are moving smoothly.
[04:25] Matsumiya
    That jockey always
    has such beautiful form.
[04:30] Sumeragi
    Matsumiya!
[04:33] Matsumiya
    It's nice to have a stable with spirit.
[04:36] Matsumiya
    The horses seem to be happy, too.
[04:38] Sumeragi
    We're nowhere near your stable, Matsumiya.
[04:42] Matsumiya
    I wish we had your spirit.
[04:44] Matsumiya
    Given how hard that boy we
    talked about is trying.
[04:48] Sumeragi
    The one from Kazanami's class?
[04:51] Matsumiya
    I think he's got a future,
[04:54] Matsumiya
    but one of the older jockeys
    is giving him a hard time.
[05:02] Yu
    Looking good, Shun.
[05:04] Shun
    Yeah, the horse was in a good mood today.
[05:07] Shun
    Your legs were moving so smoothly, Kisuke.
[05:13] Yu
    I don't mean the horse. I mean you.
[05:16] Shun
    Me?
[05:17] Shun
    Of course, I'm doing great!
[05:19] Shun
    Nothing could make me happier
    than riding a horse every day!
[05:24] Yu
    We're both having a good time, then.
[05:26] Shun
    Yeah.
[05:27] Kuji
    Hey, Arimura!
[05:29] Kuji
    You're taking too long to catch up!
[05:32] Yu
    Kuji.
[05:34] Kuji
    Stop screwing around!
[05:36] Kuji
    Get back to training!
[05:38] Yu
    Yes, sir!
[05:39] Kuji
    Anyone who can't pull their weight
     gets sent back to school!
[05:43] Yu
    Yes, sir!
[05:45] Amane
    Okay, I'll take it slow.
[05:48] Amane
    I've had enough.
[05:50] Amane
    I can't take it anymore.
[05:58] Kikumi
    Stronger.
[06:01] Shun
    Okay!
[06:04] Shun
    But, Kikumi, Kisuke doesn't
    seem to like it today.
[06:08] Kikumi
    You don't always have to give
    the horse what it wants.
[06:11] Kikumi
    The horse is the one that
    suffers if you don't do it right.
[06:15] Shun
    Yes, sir!
[06:19] Kikumi
    Hey, Shun, did you know
    his owner's coming today?
[06:24] Shun
    Kashino?
[06:26] Kikumi
    He's bringing in a new horse!
[06:28] Shun
    Really?
[06:30] Kikumi
    You really love horses, don't you?
[06:33] Kikumi
    It's a young horse, three years
    old. It used to be at Yabe Farms.
[06:37] Shun
    So it'll make its debut in
    the November maiden race?
[06:40] Kikumi
    It's got a good bloodline, supposedly.
[06:43] Kikumi
    Kashino was in love with it,
[06:44] Kikumi
    but the mistress went and begged him
    a bunch of times to bring it here.
[06:48] Sumeragi
    Sumeragi went herself?
[06:50] Kikumi
    Yup.
[06:52] Kikumi
    "I promise I'll make it into a horse that
    can race in the derby, so send it here."
[06:57] Shun
    The derby!
[06:59] Shun
    It really is an amazing horse, then!
[07:01] Kikumi
    The mistress started this place three
    years ago. She's ready to win a big race.
SIGN    Akari Sumeragi
[07:07] Kikumi
    The stable needs something to brag about.
[07:09] shun
    Is that how it works?
[07:13] Kikumi
    The mistress has it rough.
[07:16] Kikumi
    It's hard for a young female trainer
    to get people to take her seriously.
[07:22] Kikumi
    Not like an older man.
[07:25] Kikumi
    In my case, I've known her
    since she was this tall.
[07:30] Kikumi
    She's like a daughter to me!
[07:33] Kikumi
    I'd do anything for her, but...
[07:37] Kikumi
    I'm just not cut out to be a jockey!
[07:44] Kikumi
    Huh?
[07:54] Sumeragi
    The horse is even better than I'd heard.
[07:55] Tayasu
    Yes. It already has the bearing of a winner.
[08:06] Kikumi
    Pretty one.
[08:07] Shun
    A little scared, though.
[08:10] Kikumi
    You can tell?
[08:11] Shun
    Yes.
[08:13] Shun
    Like it's hiding its nervousness.
[08:15] Shun
    Maybe it's timid?
[08:18] Kikumi
    If you can tell that much from just
    one look at it, you're doing well.
[08:21] Shun
    I can't wait to take care of it!
[08:23] Kikumi
    Now it's up to the mistress
    to raise it right.
[08:28] Kikumi
    Hey, Shun! If you keep staring at the young
    ones, the older ones will get jealous!
[08:34] Shun
    You're right!
[08:38] Miku
    Kisuke!
[08:40] Miku
    Did you forget me?
[08:42] Miku
    It's me, Miku! Kisuke!
[08:46] Shun
    I remember you. You're Miku!
[08:56] Miku
    Who are you?
[08:59] Shun
    Hi there!
[09:00] Shun
    I'm Shun Kazanami. I'm part of this stable!
[09:05] Miku
    Miku Kashino.
[09:08] Shun
    That's a great name.
[09:10] Shun
    Kashino...
[09:12] Tayasu
    There you are, miss.
[09:17] Tayasu
    You're saying hello to Kisuke?
[09:19] Tayasu
    He must be happy to see you again.
[09:22] Miku
    Not really.
[09:23] Tayasu
    It's cold out here.
[09:26] Tayasu
    I've prepared a warm room for you
    to wait in while your father's talking.
[09:30] Tayasu
    I have some sweets for you, too.
[09:32] Miku
    I'm fine.
[09:36] Shun
    Here!
[09:44] Tayasu
    I'll let you handle her.
[09:45] Miku
    Did you like that?
[09:46] Tayasu
    They're going to be a
    while, so show her around.
[09:55] Shun
    I see. So you're the owner's daughter.
[09:59] Miku
    Yes.
[10:01] Shun
    Kisuke's a great horse, isn't he?
[10:03] Shun
    He's wonderful to ride!
[10:06] Miku
    You've ridden him?
[10:08] Shun
    Of course!
[10:10] Shun
    I'm a jockey, you know.
[10:17] Shun
    Or a trainee, more specifically.
[10:19] Shun
    You need to study at school to be a jockey,
[10:22] Shun
    but in your second year you're sent to
    a training center to learn the ropes.
[10:26] Miku
    So you're studying at Akari's stable?
[10:27] Shun
    Yep!
[10:28] Shun
    I am a trainee, receiving strict
    instruction under Sumeragi's tutelage!
[10:34] Miku
    Akari used to be nicer.
[10:38] Shun
    Really?
[10:39] Miku
    Yes.
[10:40] Miku
    My dad says she's an instructor now,
    with a lot of responsibilities, so that's why.
[10:47] Miku
    Is she that big of a deal?
[10:52] Sumeragi
    I'll ensure it receives the
    best treatment possible.
[10:55] Kishino
    I'm glad to hear it.
[10:59] Kishino
    I've already decided on a name. Oak Diamond.
[11:03] Kishino
    Because of its shining eyes.
[11:04] Sumeragi
    That's a wonderful name.
[11:06] Kishino
    I've been saving "diamond"
    for a derby-winner,
[11:09] Kishino
    and I know you agree with me there.
[11:13] Sumeragi
    I'm sure it can happen.
[11:16] Tayasu
    For that to happen,
    we'll have to start winning.
[11:20] Tayasu
    Kashino, after the maiden race,
[11:22] Tayasu
    how about we enter it in the
    January Fukujuso Tokubetsu,
[11:24] Tayasu
    have a short period of pasturage until
    March, and then the Wakaba Stakes?
[11:29] Kashino
    No. After the maiden race, I want to
    go straight to the Wakagoma Stakes.
[11:34] Sumeragi
    You want to go to an Open that soon?
[11:36] Kashino
    Yes.
[11:37] Kashino
    I want to follow the same course as
    the undefeated Triple Crown winner.
[11:41] Kashino
    Then on to the Yayoi Sho. The Satsuki Sho.
[11:43] Kashino
    I want it on the road to the Triple Crown.
[11:45] Kashino
    I think it's capable.
[11:50] Sumeragi
    I see.
[11:51] Kashino
    I know it will be hard,
    but I think you're capable of it.
[11:56] Kashino
    Pull it off, and I'll give you another
    one I have my eye on next year.
[12:02] Kashino
    It's every bit as good as Oak Diamond.
[12:06] Kashino
    It has the Galileo pedigree,
    which is extremely rare in Japan.
[12:09] Tayasu
    From Shimonagaya Farms?
[12:14] Kashino
    Will you do it, Ms. Sumeragi?
[12:23] Sumeragi
    Of course.
[12:26] Miku
    There are so many horses here!
[12:29] Shun
    A training center is like
    a little city for horses!
[12:33] Shun
    There's a whole lot of people working
    every day so that the horses can win!
[12:42] Shun
    This is the Matsumiya Stable.
    My classmate works here.
[12:46] Shun
    Um...
[12:49] Yu
    Why?
[12:51] Yu
    You can't spoil Taro like that!
[12:53] Yu
    He always tries to go at a slow pace!
[12:57] Yu
    Kuji!
[13:00] Shun
    Seems like he's busy.
[13:03] Yu
    Kuji!
[13:06] Kuji
    Do what your instructor tells you.
[13:08] Yu
    He's changing things too soon!
[13:11] Kuji
    Knock it off!
[13:14] Kuji
    In this stable, what he says goes!
[13:17] Kuji
    He's the one who's responsible
    for making sure the horses win!
[13:20] Kuji
    He's the one whose neck is on the line!
[13:24] Kuji
    We're jockeys.
[13:26] Kuji
    No matter how a horse was raised,
     our job is to place it as high as possible!
[13:31] Kuji
    That's the only thing we live for!
[13:39] Shun
    This is the dorm where we live.
[13:42] Shun
    I wonder if there's anything
    else I can show you.
[13:45] Miku
    No, let's head back.
[13:48] Miku
    I want to talk to Kisuke more!
[13:53] Shun
    Yeah, let's do that.
[13:55] Shun
    Okay, let's race!
[13:57] Miku
    Hey, wait!
[14:05] Kikumi
    You called?
[14:06] Sumeragi
    Kikumi, sit.
[14:09] Kashino
    Hey there, Kiku.
[14:11] Kikumi
    Hello.
[14:13] Sumeragi
    Kikumi, about Oak Nature...
[14:17] Kikumi
    Kisuke?
[14:19] Kikumi
    He's getting better and better.
[14:21] Kikumi
    He really likes Kazanami.
[14:24] Kashino
    Kazanami?
[14:26] Sumeragi
    A trainee who's staying here.
[14:28] Sumeragi
    He's an interesting little kid.
[14:30] Sumeragi
    I'll introduce you sometime.
[14:32] Kikumi
    What's happening with Kisuke?
[14:39] Sumeragi
    I think it's time to give
    him a good retirement.
[14:50] Miku
    Kisuke!
[14:53] Miku
    Mr. Kikumi!
[14:56] Kikumi
    Miku! You've grown up!
[15:00] Kikumi
    Shun, can we talk?
[15:04] Miku
    You're such a good boy! You're so cute!
[15:06] Shun
    What is it, Kikumi?
[15:10] Kikumi
    Kisuke will be retiring at the
    Hanshin Daishoten in March.
[15:12] Miku
    Does that feel good? What about this?
[15:14] Kikumi
    They'll be sending him back to the farm.
[15:17] Kikumi
    It's the perfect last race
    for a good horse like him.
[15:22] Shun
    Is that right?
[15:30] Shun
    You've done good.

    Let's both do our best!
[16:09] Shun
    Kirarin, you really do have pretty eyes.
[16:13] Shun
    "Diamond" is the right name for you.
[16:17] Shun
    You don't need to worry.

[16:21] Shun
    so relax.
[16:24] Tayasu
    You're talking to the horses again?
[16:26] Shun
    Oh, Tayasu.
[16:28] Shun
    It's scared about racing
    in an unfamiliar place.
[16:31] Tayasu
    What?
[16:32] Shun
    It's not moving as fast as it
    should be on the training course.
[16:36] Shun
    Its steps are really unsteady,
    like it's scared of its own shadow.
[16:42] Tayasu
    Yeah, thinking back, its times were uneven.
[16:46] Shun
    Are you scared of stepping on grass and bugs?
[16:51] Shun
    For a racehorse, that's a problem!

    Don't you agree, Yu Arimura?
[17:25] Yu
    I don't know.
[17:27] Amane
    Are you satisfied just
    training the way you're told?
[17:31] Amane
    Don't you have any
    thoughts of your own?
[17:34] Yu
    Thoughts...
[17:38] Yu
    I don't think my "thoughts"

    What?

    We have to do our best with the

    Complaining won't make
     you a better jockey.

    Yu's changed.

    Yu Arimura's turned into a little brat.

[18:27] Tayasu
    It was Kazanami.
[18:28] Sumeragi
    Kazanami?
[18:30] Tayasu
    The same as always.
    He told me the horse was scared.
[18:35] Tayasu
    Even that its footwork was unsteady.
[18:39] Tayasu
    Ma'am, I've never really believed it, but...
[18:42] Tayasu
    Can Kazanami really understand
    what the horses are saying?
[18:46] Sumeragi
    You never believe in anything
    but theory and numbers.
[18:49] Sumeragi
    I'm surprised to hear you say that.
[18:52] Sumeragi
    Kazanami must have superior
    observational skills.
[18:56] Sumeragi
    A horse's expression.
    Its tendencies. Its movements.
[19:01] Sumeragi
    He can understand them instantly,
    and transform them into words in his mind.
[19:04] Sumeragi
    He doesn't realize that, and believes
    that he's hearing their voices.
[19:10] Tayasu
    I see.
[19:12] Sumeragi

    What an amazing horse.
[20:54] Sumeragi
    Yes. I was worried over nothing.
[21:05] Kikumi
    Hey, Shun! Kirarin won!
[21:08] Shun
    Yeah, the way they ran was amazing!
[21:11] Shun
    Maybe that last spurt was
    what sealed the deal?
[21:14] Shun
    They were starting to get mixed
    in with the other horses,
[21:16] Shun
    but they're a scaredy-cat, so maybe
    that's why they were quick to break out.
[21:19] Kikumi
    Did they show that on the TV?
[21:22] Shun
    I think it was when they
    rounded the third corner.
[21:25] Kikumi
    What were you watching the race on?
[21:29] Shun
    This!
[21:35] Stablehand
    Good work.
[21:38] Stablehand
    It was worth coming all this way.
     We got valuable data, too.
[21:44] Sumeragi
    Next is the Open, huh?
[21:45] Tayasu
    Think it will go like
     Kashino wants it to?
[21:49] Sumeragi
    Yes. And how we want it to, too.
[21:57] Kikumi
    Miss, can we chat for a moment?
SIGN    Oak Diamond
[22:01] Sumeragi
    Yes, it was a little off in the
    pace around the third corner.
[22:06] Sumeragi
    Hayashida said that it didn't like
    being in the pack and went ahead.
[22:10] Tayasu
    I looked after the race,
    and its time was a bit off.
SIGN    Oak Diamond
[22:14] Tayasu
    But I don't think the TVs showed that.
[22:17] Kikumi
    No. We didn't notice at all.
[22:22] Kikumi
    But Shun did!
[22:25] Sumeragi
    Kazanami did?
[22:26] Kikumi
    He was listening with the radio
    instead of watching on TV!
[22:31] Kikumi
    And he says he could tell what was
    going on around the third corner!
[22:37] Kikumi
    It's starting to creep me out!
[22:42] Shun
    Good work today.
[22:44] Shun
    You did great!
[22:46] Shun
    It wasn't as scary as you thought, right?
[22:48] Shun
    Oh, it was fun, was it?
[22:51] Shun
    Yup!
[22:52] Shun
    It's gonna get more fun!
[22:55] Shun
    Let's both do our best!
[22:57] Sumeragi
    Looks like it's more than just a good eye
    that tells him what the horses are feeling.
[23:03] Sumeragi
    Maybe he's hearing something from
    the horses that others can't.
[23:08] Tayasu
    Is that possible?
[23:12] Sumeragi
    It may be dangerous, but...
[23:16] Sumeragi
    Let's bet on this power of his.
[23:24] Sumeragi
    Kazanami.
[23:25] Shun
    Welcome back, ma'am!
[23:32] Sumeragi
    Do you want to help train Kirarin?
