Episode synopsis
Kurisu (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is summoned by trainer Hironaka (Masanobu Ando) to visit a training farm in the Hidaka region. Royal Hope, which Kozo (Koichi Sato) bought for 100 million yen, has been moved to the farm to be trained as a racehorse, but its extreme wariness has left even seasoned staff at a loss, and no jockey can be found to ride it. Amid this, Kurisu and Hironaka place their hopes in a particular individual: Saki (Mahiro Takasugi), a blond jockey from the Iwate racing circuit. However, not only is it difficult for a regional-circuit jockey like Saki to obtain a central racing license, he also caused a certain trouble in the past... Trusting in Saki’s ability, Kurisu persistently negotiates with the help of reporter Taira (Kenjiro Tsuda). Meanwhile, a scandal also comes to light at Royal Human, and Yutaro (Kotaro Koizumi) moves to deal with it...
