[It is very likely that because of the slow circulation of information in 1950, countless horse owners missed out on this historical famous horse, Tokino Minoru.]
[And trainer Tanaka from Tokyo was lucky enough to take a fancy to this racehorse. He really liked the leg strength that Tokino Minoru showed and persuaded Daiei president Masaichi Nagata to buy him.]
[Nagata also believed his judgment. However, after he bought him, he did not show any particular affection, so he did not name him for a long time. Instead, he just casually put him in the stable and started training him.]
[At that time, trainer Kazuo Tanaka chose Mitsumasa Iwashita as the jockey for him, hoping they would have a chemical reaction. But it is very regrettable that the partnership between Iwashita and the proud Tokino Minoru was not smooth at the beginning. Iwashita was even thrown off the horse.]
[He almost missed his debut race because of this problem. It was not until the more prestigious horse owner, Tomoji Kuribayashi, stepped in that he was able to debut smoothly.]
[And Nagata had not yet thought of a name for him at that time, so he temporarily let him participate in his debut race with his childhood name "Perfect."
[However, his debut race gave everyone a surprise. Although he had trouble at the starting gate before the race, and even had the bad temper of throwing off the jockey, after the race began, no one doubted his strength anymore.]
[In his 800-meter turf debut, he started running wildly from the start, as if he had released his nature. In the end, he won this extremely terrifying and overwhelming victory by a margin of 8 lengths over the second place, breaking the Japanese record.]
[Writing this, I am also a bit surprised. You have to know that the skill given by the Tazuna Hayakawa friend card is gate concentration, but I didn't expect that she also had difficulty at the gate at the beginning. This is quite interesting.]
At this moment, at Amanohashidate.
"Game? Is it the horse girl 2K-like game that the real horse world made, which was mentioned last time? I didn't expect to be a friend card. That's quite good. I hope it helps new players, and that I don't get replaced so quickly."
Tazuna was also shocked for a moment, and then just hoped she could be of help to more people. Actually, she is really useful in the early game. How many fans back then kept restarting just to draw a few more green hats at the beginning, to get a high-level or even max-level one. If you could achieve the feat of a max-level green hat at the beginning, that would really be a heavenly start. Of course, a high-level Nice Posey in the early game is also extremely perfect.
"Hahaha, Tazuna, so you also had trouble at the gate at the beginning? And you had a bad temper too?" Chairwoman Akikawa laughed.
"It's normal to be nervous at the beginning of a race. I adjusted later. And my temper wasn't that bad back then, was it? Mmm, I don't know, I forgot."
Tazuna also said shyly. She might have had an unforgettable experience in the past, but now she was gentle and cute. She also felt sorry for jockey Iwashita in her heart, hoping he hadn't passed away.
In another place.
"Huh? Miss Tazuna had such a past? But that's not the most surprising thing. The most terrifying thing is that she actually pulled away by 8 lengths! And in only 800 meters?"
Twin Turbo thought she had misread. This was equivalent to pulling away by one length every 100 meters. An 800-meter track, it can be said, is a competition of explosive power. All horses will run at full speed from the beginning. But Miss Tazuna actually pulled away by 8 lengths in just 800 meters. This was at least 2 seconds ahead of the other horses.
Twin Turbo felt that Senior Tazuna's strength was already beyond imagination.
At the same time, over at Mejiro Palmer's side.
"By the way, Maya-chan suddenly has an idea. It seems that 50% of the times I get caught in the end, the main reason is because of Senior Tazuna. Either I'm boxed in by her, or I'm directly chased down by her."
Mejiro Palmer also recalled her experience of being arrested.
"Be more confident, it's probably 90%!" Toho Jackal snorted. She was wondering if Tazuna was some kind of terrifying super witch. She couldn't figure it out. She must have some magic that she didn't know about. She would ask her clearly later.
At this time, Xu Zong's diary also continued to update.
[At that time, after Tokino Minoru completed his debut, trainer Tanaka was very excited. He called owner Nagata and told him that their horse had debuted, and with an eight-length victory! This was definitely a horse that could create a legend!]
[And at this time, owner Nagata was stunned. He took a long time to react before he suddenly remembered that he had bought such a horse. He was extremely surprised at that time, with only one expression: What did you say? Eight lengths!!!]
[I feel sorry for owner Nagata. He couldn't even say 'holy crap'.]
[After that, Nagata immediately rushed to Tazuna's stable. Facing trainer Tanaka and breeder Kasagi who came to welcome him, he was extremely excited. He had been looking for a horse that could win the Japanese Derby his whole life, and now it seemed he finally had hope. He immediately said sincerely—thanks to everyone, he had the possibility of becoming a Derby-winning owner.]
[And at this time, Nagata finally gave Miss Tazuna her name. It was the most important naming in his life, "Tokino Minoru."
[And Tokino Minoru has two meanings. 'Toki' (Harvest) represents the moment he finally reaped the rewards in the horse racing world. And the word 'Minoru' (Moment) is borrowed from the title of the horseman Kikuchi Kan, whom he admired.]
[The two are combined—Tokino Minoru, this name that would shake the whole of Japan, was thus born.]
[At the same time, Kikuchi Kan and jockey Iwashita also have a story. Kikuchi Kan not only gave Iwashita a G1 horse that won eight major races, but also acted as a matchmaker for him in 1942, arranging his marriage. He can be said to be a great benefactor.]
[I imagine the scene at that time was, Kikuchi Kan smiling and asking Iwashita, 'Old Iwa, do you want a wife or not?']
[Iwashita also wanted to repay his kindness, and wanted to carry the name of Tokino Minoru to all of Japan. And they clearly succeeded in the end.]
[A month later, Tokino Minoru raced again with this new name. He won by 2 and a half lengths, without breaking the record—looking at his entire career, this result is considered one of the worst.]
[On September 3, 1950, he challenged a higher level special race for the first time, the Sapporo Kinen.]
[A total of 11 horses were registered for the Sapporo Kinen. But at that time, although he had two wins in two starts, he did not get the first popularity in this race. The number one horse in Kanto, Truck O, was the first big boss he had to challenge.]
[How strong was Truck O at that time? He debuted later than Tokino Minoru, but had three wins in three starts, also a 100% win rate. And his speed in the first 1000 meters was 0.4 seconds faster than him at that time.]
[However, the result of the race shocked everyone. Tokino Minoru didn't even put him in his eyes. He broke the record again on the 1200-meter dirt track in Sapporo with a time of 1 minute 13.2 seconds, sweeping Truck O away by a large margin!]
[The three-win, three-start Truck O was already a top player among the new horses. Who would have thought that Tokino Minoru was from another dimension entirely? The gap between them was like a chasm!]
[And his story had just begun. He then came to Kanto. He raced twice in Nakayama in October, breaking the record in both the 1000-meter and 1100-meter races, winning by 6 lengths and 4 lengths respectively.]
[At this point, he had 5 wins in 5 starts, and had broken 4 records, all with large-margin victories. At this time, no one knew where his limit was. The power he showed was beyond the reach of all other horses. Everyone was looking forward to his limit, what terrifying realm could he reach!]
At this moment, seeing this, everyone in Tracen was dumbfounded. They had somewhat imagined how amazing Senior Tazuna was, but they had no idea she could reach such an astonishing realm.
BNW.
"So cool!"
"So cool and霸气 (bàqì - domineering/cool). This is really amazing. I want to run with Senior Tazuna later too. This will definitely stimulate my potential," Winning Ticket also said. Her personality was like this. After seeing such a strong person, she became even more motivated. She also wanted to keep working hard and surpass herself.
"But now it's 5 wins in 5 starts, right? Do you think Senior Tazuna will win the undefeated Triple Crown?" Winning Ticket said again.
"I don't think that's possible. No... it's definitely not possible. Ticket, have you forgotten? Trainer Xu said before that the second horse girl to win the undefeated Triple Crown was Deep Impact, and the first should be President Rudolf. I'm even thinking that maybe Senior Tazuna retired after winning the Japanese Derby."
"But why would she retire? Was she injured?"
Narita Taishin was now also thinking about this problem. If that was the case, it would be too pitiful. She remembered that Senior Tazuna was extremely responsible. Tracen Academy was also developing steadily under her management. Many times, when she saw an injured horse girl, she would carry her to the infirmary and stay with her until late at night. She clearly didn't have to do so much, but she always insisted on taking care of every single horse girl. She had been taken care of by Miss Tazuna. She was indeed very gentle.
In her heart, Narita Taishin naturally hoped that she would have a good ending, that she would choose to retire voluntarily, even if it was like Sea the Stars.
"Mmm... let's not think of the worst for now," Biwa Hayahide also pushed up her glasses. If you always think so much, your head will also get big. No... what she meant was, it would also add to the troubles. Ahem, that's right, add to the troubles.
In another part of Amanohashidate.
Rudolf was also looking at the content written in Xu Zong's diary.
This time, she chose to remain silent, which was unprecedented. Because she knew Miss Tazuna's ending. She also knew that if Senior Tazuna hadn't been injured, she would very likely have become the first horse girl in Tracen URA to win the undefeated Triple Crown.
At that time, she still clearly remembered, when she was celebrating winning the undefeated Triple Crown, the subtle expression on Miss Tazuna's face. It was gratification, it was joy, but it was also accompanied by a hint of unconcealable bitterness. She must have also wanted to run the Kikuka Sho, must have wanted to continue writing the legend named Tokino Minoru.
She later became the president of the Tracen Academy student council, and she had always taken Tazuna as a role model, never slacking off in taking care of the students, and also being concerned about their health.
In Hong Kong.
"Tokino Minoru, this record is too amazing. It's not just a winning streak, but directly breaking all the records. I feel a little breathless. And in a winning streak, the pressure is extremely high, which means you will be studied and targeted. But for her, it was nothing at all."
Wu Di was also stunned. She felt that Miss Tazuna was the real invincible one. This record, looking at the entire history, is quite explosive. She also continued to watch. At the same time, she also wanted to know, why did Miss Tazuna retire?
At this time, Xu Zong's diary also continued to update.
[The time came to the 1950 Asahi Hai. This was his first time on a heavy track.]
[But it is clear that a heavy track cannot hold back a strong horse of his level. He still pulled away from the second place by a full 4 lengths at a very fast speed after the start. The only pity is that the track was a little heavy that day, which prevented him from breaking the record at that time.]
[At that time, Tokino Minoru had 6 wins in 6 starts, and countless people felt that he could even break Kurifuji's record of 11 consecutive wins. And everyone roughly calculated his schedule at that time. If he could break this 11-win streak, he would very likely become the first undefeated Triple Crown horse.]
[And Kurifuji's owner was the one mentioned earlier, who spoke up for him, Tomoji Kuribayashi. He loved chestnut horses his whole life. And Kurifuji's winning streak at that time was called the 'Kurifuji Wall.']
[But good times don't last long. His hidden danger appeared at this time. Yoshio Nohira, who was an apprentice jockey at Tanaka's stable at the time, recalled that from the time he first entered the stable, his right foot had suffered from a cracked hoof. By his classic year, the situation had become more serious.]
[In fact, in order to protect him, he was never allowed to participate in training at full strength, at most he could only use seven-tenths of his strength.]
[Jockey Iwashita had even noticed long ago that in order to protect his injured leg, he had never let his injured leg exert full force. His current 6 wins in 6 starts, and breaking 4 records, were all achieved under the circumstances of having a hidden injury, and even being affected by the injury.]
[At that time, Iwashita also expressed his concern. His thoughts could also represent the thoughts of the camp. They didn't know if he could still run, but the three-year-old races were once-in-a-lifetime. The Japanese Derby they longed for would also not be able to be participated in. In this situation, they could only take it one step at a time.]
[Tokino Minoru, he met the biggest enemy of his career, which was his own injury.]
At this time, the students of Tracen Academy didn't know what to say.
"This... Senior Tazuna, so she has been running with an injured leg all this time? She's really too strong."
Daiwa Scarlet was also stunned. She knew that if Senior Tazuna had complete training, she would definitely become stronger. And she had already won six races in six starts like this. If she was at her peak at that time, what realm could she reach? Could she be compared with the top horses from abroad?
When Toho Jorden saw this, she also covered her mouth. She had the most say in hoof cracks. To this day, she still has problems with hoof cracks, which even affects her races. She knows how painful it is. And Senior Tazuna actually ran with such an injury. Jorden was instantly stunned. She could completely feel the despair in it. And she also completely understood how powerful and great Senior Tazuna was.
However, Tazuna was very modest at this time and said, "No... it's not that exaggerated. It wasn't to the point where I couldn't run. The results would be affected a little, but I've never had a bone fracture or a broken bone. But if I had undergone certain training at that time, perhaps my results could have been improved a little."
Tokai Teio said worriedly, "Bone fracture... it sounds so painful. Don't say such things, Miss Tazuna. Is your leg okay now? Let me see, you can't be reckless." Teio had received Tazuna's attention, so she also wanted to care about her.
"Mmm, it's long been healed," Tazuna smiled gently. She was also very moved in her heart. The technology is advanced now, and her illness has been cured.
Actually, McQueen was two days away from the Tenno Sho (Autumn) back then, but she contracted suspensory ligament inflammation, which was an incurable disease at the time. But now, with the development of medicine, it can also be treated.
And now, Special Week and Silent Suzuka were also extremely surprised. She finally knew why Senior Tazuna could directly catch up to Spe-chan. When Spe-chan had just entered the school, she had indeed not fully reached her prime, but this kind of explosive power was indeed too strong.
Xu Zong's diary continued at this moment.
[And in the next year, after recovering from his injury, he had recovered some. But the hoof on his right side was a congenital problem and was difficult to cure. It could only be maintained. But now, to make matters worse, his jockey had actually gained 7 kilograms after the new year.]
[But he was a famous horse. Under such unfavorable factors, he still completed his seventh consecutive victory with a 3.5-length advantage, and once again broke the record.]
[And in the next station, the first left-handed track at Tokyo Racecourse, he reached an astonishing 8 consecutive wins with a 2-length margin.]
[Just like that, with an undefeated record, he proudly walked into the Nakayama Racecourse for the Satsuki Sho. At that time, he won the first popularity without any suspense.]
[You have to know, in the history of the JRA in Japan, there is another horse that can be said to stand at the pinnacle of their horse racing world, and that is Deep Impact.]
[When he participated in the Satsuki Sho, he had 63% of the popularity support and a very low odds of 1.3, gaining the support of more than half of the audience at that time. And this is the second highest support rate in the history of the Satsuki Sho, an amazing achievement.]
[As for the first, that was the 1951 Satsuki Sho, with a crushing 73.3% support rate, Tokino Minoru.]
[How strong does a horse have to be to get a 73.3% support rate?]
[So far, there is only one answer, and that is to be as strong as Tokino Minoru.]
[At that time, his biggest opponent was a horse named Ittosei. It had 7 wins in 7 starts against horses other than him, a crushing posture. But when facing him, it had 3 starts and 3 seconds, and all were crushing defeats.]
[So at that time, countless remaining spectators basically all bought Ittosei's horse tickets.]
[However, when the Satsuki Sho began, the audience who supported Ittosei were all in despair. From the first second, Tokino Minoru actively occupied the front. He even sprinted all the way, his pace reaching an unprecedented super high speed. Only Ittosei and another strong horse, Hikari Hata, could keep up with his pace. And under his ultimate lead, he ultimately won the first crown of the classic Triple Crown with a record-breaking performance that improved the record by a full 6.1 seconds.]
[Ittosei and Hikari Hata were 2 lengths behind him. In this way, it seems that they were also pushed to their limits, also breaking the record by more than 5 seconds.]
[It can be said that he, almost single-handedly, pushed the results of the Satsuki Sho forward by 20 years.]
[However, after returning from Nakayama Racecourse, the nightmare finally became a reality while preparing for the Japanese Derby—his gait became abnormal, and cracks appeared in his right front hoof.]
[Considering his condition, the final training for the Japanese Derby was reduced. But the next day, even his left front hoof showed tendon swelling. Owner Nagata once issued a statement that he might withdraw from the Derby.]
[At the same time, all the stable staff were involved in the full treatment of him. In the end, because the symptoms improved two days before the Derby, the trainer still made the decision to continue to run in the Derby.]
[Although his physical condition was not good, and the jockey had been controlling his speed all the way out of concern, he still won the Japanese Derby by breaking the record, standing out among 26 horses.]
[Nagata also told the media that as long as he won the Triple Crown, he would let him go on the first American expedition at that time.]
[At this point, he had 10 wins in 10 starts, broke the record 7 times, and not only was he always injured himself, but one of those times was when the jockey gained 7KG, and he ignored this situation and broke the record again. The quality is extremely strong.]
[But, in the end, that was it...]
