The day of the Arima Kinen came. Your palms were sweaty, you were stressed out and didn't get a wink of sleep last night. Your trainer is depending on you, this all depends if you advance to the URA Finale.
You walked onto the track, thousands of people screaming your name, waving fan-made signs and your merch. Your team, MORE MORE JUMP was rooting for you.
Then, you see her.
Airi Momoi. A triple crown winner and legendary Uma musume. Her team, QT, weren't fazed at all. They were very much used to seeing intense races like this, and seeing their team succeed.
You and the other Umas walked to the starting race. You clearly heard the announcer yell in the mic: "All eyes are on the Triple Crown Winner, Airi Momoi!" The crowd erupted into cheers and screams. "The second favorite, queen of the turf, Haruka Kiritani!" A little less yelling was heard at your name. No one else matters. You NEEDED to beat Airi. No matter what.
Airi sent a spine-chilling glare at you. A clear warning that she wasn't gonna lose to you.
"... Nng..."
She turned away, getting into formation to start the race.
