I'm happy that Gold Ship got a lot of focus in this episode and, while we did get a funny rolling montage of her erratic behaviour and hilarious facial expressions, it was nice to see her serious side when it came to running her last race of the twinkle series at the Arima Kinen.

Despite her impressive burst of speed during the race, she could only manage 8th, but she got a much louder cheer than the race winner. As for Kitasan Black, she should be proud of that 3rd place finish. I hope that she'll continue to do well and get more wins along the way, along with Satono Diamond, who already has two wins already. =)

All in all, this was a really nice episode. I do hope we'll get to see more of Sounds Of Earth. Her performance during the race was great, despite her oddball personality.

As much as I love Gold Ship, I kinda felt bad for actual winner there lol, but I imagine that probably happens irl too, especially when you have a beloved horse like Gold Ship in the same race. But man I really wanted to see her win too, Kitasan is great and all but Gold Ship was the main character of this particular race lol, and it was also funny seeing the nerds being out nerded by most likely older fans, each generation has its dedicated fans lol.

And it looks like Satono Diamond is already winning races, I would prefer if she wasn’t winning right out the gate but giving how this is based on irl horse racing I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual horse was just that good. And I’m ngl, Sounds of Earth might become a new favorite of mine, she has a unique voice and I love the music theme with her, definitely looking forward to more of her. And lastly, gotta love how Nice Nature has become the emotional support for Kitasan lol, it might be a demotion of sorts but any amount of Nice Nature I’ll absolutely take, I loved her reaction to being called Sensei too lol.

Maybe I've just become a much bigger uma musume fan over the years but this really is shaping up to be the best season yet

ANOTHER GODLIKE EPISODE!!!
Uma Musume always lets me at the verge of tears, I can only imagine how it was for the JRA fans IRL on all these stories.

Kita is doing a great job as the protagonist, makes me feel proud since we meet her when she and Dia were kids, great way to introduce characters.
I love her relationship with Nice, I hope we see more moments of them together, I feel they have a depeer connection that what we saw with Teio and Rudolf lol
And I love that we finally got some real lore explanation for Goldshi, a bit too late but I appreciate it.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Gold Ship NOT being stabbed in the eye for entire episode seemed kinda off.
Anyway, she may be a horse, but is still a GOAT.

This episode has good feelings but it's basically the same thing as the previous seasons.

@Uguu_Tsukimiya Uma Musume adapts stories from real JRA races and horses mixing them with it's academy and URA settings, if you think the plot is always the same then idk, blame life itself.

Goldship takarazuka incident had always been meme'd on,but tbh in that race,the horse literally catched up with the pack at the final stretch even with the approximately around 2 second loss,which is a really wide margin and finished 2nd before last place.

Kinda agree on some part where the plot is pretty much the same every season but yeah it pretty much the horse racing essence in a nutshell.Sometimes fate made it seem like some horse resemble another horse with the accident,fracture etc but each of the horse ending will differ even if its a little bit.Some got the MC plot spectacular ending meanwhile some won't even be able to just like goldship in this episode.But in the end,there are still people that support and cheer goldship because for the effort.There's even some horse that have the spectacular ending in the retirement race but still got dissed even with big achievement just because they couldn't meet everyone's expectation that is sometimes too demanding.(pls cykagames make contrail as the next OVA/season MC and give the horse some justice)

Kita chan did well for her first arima kinen. Gold Ship unfortunately doesn't have the burst of power she once used to have. Good luck on the dream league Golshi.

Gold Ship the GOAT!
I’m a little sad that she didn’t win the Arima Kinen, but it’s understandable given the historical accuracy. I really hope we get to see a prequel focusing on her as the protagonist someday.
