On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

I think it would be interesting if Grass beats Shiro in the race and feels triumphant about overcoming her rival...only to see that Shiro is genuinely content and in fact pleased with placing second. Something like that would unsettle Grass, chipping away at her vision of a rivalry with Shiro when Shiro doesn't seem to even care.

Ramonu, what the fuck.
Ramonu is so fortunate to have not been saying that to Shiro instead; if someone gave her the so-called "advice" of channeling her grief into running, Shiro would probably quit on the spot, or even punch the speaker in the face depending on how she's handling her grief.

"Swimming might be useful too."

"Really?"

"The buoyancy of the water means your legs aren't carrying all of your weight."

"Hmm…so that's why Trainer-san mentioned that…"

"You do not look very enthused."

"Well…it isn't running."

There was something to be said about loving what you do but Silence Suzuka might be taking it a bit far.
This really reflects the difference between Shiro and the other umas. For Shiro, running is something she naturally enjoys, but it's more of the instinctive thrill of movement rather than focused on racing alone, so she'd be perfectly find channeling her thirst for movement into another outlet like swimming or flying. For other umas, racing itself is what drives their hearts, and they wouldn't accept doing something else as a substitute.
 
I wonder how the family restaurant will continue to grow with all the victory money Shiro sends them.

Already after just two races, the restaurant gets a new air conditioning system and a TV. What happens after a hundred races? Will the restaurant turn into a multi-story monstrosity of an uma sports bar with dozens of big screen TVs and uma waitresses in skimpy Polish hussar uniforms?

It's almost like a bragging rights sidequest for an gacha game.

I think they use treadmills in pools for horses and maybe people too... 🤔
 
This probably will stick in Grass' craw if some people say that Shirogane is the one who does the suicide running to help her win races. They are on the same team after all, so it would makes sense as a strategy.
It's not suicide running if she can acutally handle it! When Tanya does it, it's homicide running! :D
 
The Silver Eagle indeed, that's 8 starts/races, 2 wins, 6 second places, right?

Our beloved Eternal Placer, It would be so funny if she never wins a bronze, ever. If she places, it's 1 or 2
Meanwhile, someone else seems to be collecting all the bronzes...
-and it looks like it's Shirogane Orzel in 2nd and The Bronze Kneecap in 3rd.....again....
