For the Horse Girls, it might have been a bit long, but for the spectators, the race progressed very quickly.
The Horse Girl Team advanced along the bend, and in a little while, they would enter the final straight.
The Horse Girl who had taken the lead earlier predictably lost speed, and Guoyu Turan, in third place, paid attention to the situation behind her.
She then decisively chose to accelerate, preparing to move forward and occupy a good position on the inside, so that she could launch her sprint as soon as she entered the straight.
It's worth mentioning that the final straight of the Ascot Racecourse is also very long, over 500 meters.
Over this 500-meter sprint distance, too many things could happen; it's said that until the very last moment, the outcome is still unclear.
Rainbow Chaser, seeing that Guoyu Turan, whom she had been marking, started to accelerate, pondered for a moment and gradually quickened her pace:
“Is she starting to exert herself here? You’re quite bold, aren’t you? Should I say it’s expected of a Horse Girl who has already won two crowns…
By the way, hasn’t Polaris come up yet? What is she waiting for back there?”
Waiting for what?
This question is very interesting; it might be better for Petosky to answer.
In the middle of the leading group, Petosky overtook from the outside, already reaching the fourth position.
She concentrated her mind as much as possible, ignoring the gazes surging from behind, yet her emotions fluctuated uncontrollably:
“Damn it, what is Polaris Glare thinking? Is staring at me better than staring at the two in front?”
“I have no choice. I'll accelerate all at once on the final straight. As long as I activate my domain, I should be able to shake her off.”
About half a Horse Girl’s length behind, Polaris Glacier’s lips had a persistent smile that never faded.
Her breathing showed no sign of urgency; the distance she had run earlier…
No, it should be said that these 2400 meters were nothing to her at all.
After the bonuses from so many races, her own stamina had accumulated to a level even she didn't know.
Even without deliberately using Hanxue to devour the stamina of other Horse Girls, it was more than enough.
Her gaze swept forward, taking a general look at the situation ahead, and a thoughtful expression flashed in her eyes:
“The bend is almost over. Rainbow Chaser and Guoyu Turan should clash.”
“As for Petosky… she looks a bit anxious, so she should be close to losing her patience.”
“Hmm… For now, I’ll continue to follow her, and then make my move in the last 200 meters.”
The race progressed, and before long, the Horse Girl Team rounded the corner, stepping onto the final straight amidst the cheers and support of the spectators.
The live commentator’s voice also subconsciously grew more excited:
“Alright, we’ve reached the final straight! The first to start accelerating is Guoyu Turan, pushing forward from the inside, she’s already in first place!”
“Right behind her is Rainbow Chaser! The other Horse Girls are also starting to accelerate!”
At the very front, Guoyu Turan had only been in first place for a moment before Rainbow Chaser caught up from behind, achieving a parallel position with her.
The two Horse Girls exchanged glances, their auras released and intertwined.
“I will win… it will be me!”
Rainbow Chaser continued to accelerate, her gaze fixed on the front, vaguely seeing the finish line.
Guoyu Turan remained silent, her mind quickly concentrating, and a shimmering light gradually rippled in her eyes.
Her steps suddenly exerted force, her body leaping forward, and to Rainbow Chaser’s stunned expression, she performed a second acceleration.
In just half a breath, she had opened up the distance between them and steadily maintained it at about one Horse Girl’s length.
“Why does everyone I meet activate their domain?!”
Regardless of Rainbow Chaser’s lament, at this point, there were less than 300 meters left to the finish line.
The spectators’ cheers grew even more intense; everyone seemed to have already envisioned Guoyu Turan crossing the finish line and winning the championship.
And at this moment, Petosky’s eyes also rippled with shimmering light, sweeping in from behind with a strong momentum, passing Rainbow Chaser without stopping, and heading straight for Guoyu Turan at the very front.
“!”
Just when everyone thought there would be a confrontation, Petosky, with her strong strides, overtook Guoyu Turan in one go, leaving her behind.
Less than 200 meters, 150 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters… remained to the finish line.
The outcome seemed already determined.
“It’s me…” A slow smile of joy appeared on Petosky’s face.
She did it, she defeated Rainbow Chaser, defeated Guoyu Turan, defeated that Polaris…
Polaris…
“!!!”
Just as she was momentarily flustered, a blue-haired figure, as if flashing, almost instantly rushed to her side, crossing the finish line first by a head.
The final placings were confirmed, and the commentator’s announcement sounded at the opportune moment:
“Crossing the finish line! The winner is Polaris Glacier! What astonishing explosive power! What terrifying final speed!”
“She accelerated in the last 200 meters, overtaking the three leading Horse Girls in one go, dominating the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes!”
“20 wins in 20 starts since her debut! 10 G1 championships achieved!”
“Second is Petosky, third is Guoyu Turan, and fourth is Rainbow Chaser!”
