uma musume and horse racing - '25-08-30

yeah i got pulled into the horse girl game...

but the girls are so cute and the history of the real racing horses are so cool!!! i think my favourite musume right now is symboli rudolf, 'the emperor'!! she's really cute. :]

she's the president of the student council at tracen academy and she's super cool, always so calm but strong!! she's so attentive to every student she meets and she goes out of her way to help younger musume in their training, and she's so confident in herself. i wish i had someone like her in my life when i was in school (i probably would have crushed on them). the real racing horse was also really cool, as he was the first triple crown winner in japanese horse racing. in his career, he ran 16 races, with *13* of them coming in 1st place!! that's a fucking awesome horse. his son, tokai teio, also ended up being a legendary racer (who is also a musume in the game!).

so, today after spamming uma musume at work i decided to see if we have any racing near to me, and we do! i'm actually really interested in going to see some real horse races, i've never been to an event like that before and i want to try new things. the BC derby will be taking place two weeks from now and while i won't be able to go because i have work, i should be able to see a live stream and i can even place bets on my phone!!! i've never been one to gamble, but this seems WAY more fun than going to a casino. other than the BC derby there are some other races i think i could go see in-person, but that race is a big one since it's the final jewel of the 'western canadian triple crown' (im still learning all this racing lingo). i will of course be doing some reading on the horses if i can find a source for that, i'd like to make a -vaguely- educated wager at least. i'm new to this but i think it'll be a fun thing to try, and if i get money thats cool too. :]

it's 9pm and my partner made me a coffee so i'm gonna be up for a while i suppose. i need to keep drawing lest i get rusty again, maybe i'll draw some horse girls?
