----------------------------------------
Running got more and more intense this episode. Seeing these girls run together to improve really is motivating. It seems everyone wants to prove themselves especially Teiou. Had a few laughs when McQueen did her little hop lol

Competition seems fierce this episode on that track. Definitely keeping a closer eye on McQueen this season with her family's expectations.

Goldship had it hard this episode tho she but herself in harmway so it was her own fault.
A serious rival for the girls has appeared which makes things interesting and now the question is who will be the winner between the three of them.
And the media is putting on the pressure as well it will be interesting to see how this will end.

Gold Ship's getting destroyed in this episode. The horse-shoes mark on her back killed me, lmao.

Teiou and McQueen keep training and practicing ahead of their clash.
The hype of the clash is real and the press is not fire. McQueen got pissed that Teiou's initial came up before hers. That's a nice rivalry spirit! Lmao that "edit" on the newspaper, give that editor a raise, LMAO. Peak editing and journalism.

Poor poor Gold Ship......
I like Bourbon's racing costume. it feels like a futuristic robotic suit which also suits her personality.
btw. After the rival race between Teio and McQueen, I hope there will be some racing events for Special Week. I really miss her race.

Damn. The new dress of looks like on fire - better said: after the legendary fire bird Phoenix; what from ashe arised is (fits on Teio after the situataion)... I like it!!!

And key word dress: the dress on Boubon looks like the of Tsubasa in Senki Zesshou Symphogear (probably a reference of it...? Who knows...)

Teio finally back and absolutely faster than she was before the injury! When McQueen landed on Gold Ship's back I felt that and 3x no less. I can't get over why Twin Turbo have sharp teeth. Is she part shark? Just for the record I really want to see Oguri Cap in a race.

Gold Ship's back must be destroyed by now... holy shit XD

I like this rivalry between Teio and McQueen, but I would love it that there will be a third horse who runs away with the victory and I would love it to be Bourbon, just so that neither Teio or McQueen will destroy each others dreams. Also her outfit rocks, I love it!

Yep, its a true. Golshi did a golden moments again with her beloved horse girlfriend McQueen. I can't stop laughing with those repetitive-but-addictive comedy stomp. Meanwhile, every rivals for the incoming important race already prepared much to tackle the main duos of these season, Tokai and McQueen. Especially a good highlight with those Bourbon girl and her determination to served right at her master shoes.

The first race was nothing for Tokai. The second race proved Bourbon to be ready for the next race. And i must give a props to whoever made those provocative headline to spicing up the tense between Tokai and McQueen. However, McQueen's grandma knew whats goin on, advising McQueen to stay up focusing at her own goal. Yep, this built up episode actually feels so good with all things happened. Really looking forward to see their next race, then.

I liked this episode a lot. Maybe my favorite of the season so far. I really loved Gold ship this episode and thought all her scenes were quite funny and added a lot to the episode. I'm liking the rivarly between Tokai Teio and Mcqueen and the whole speech about the tortoise and rabbit was a big standout imo.

This show continues to make me love both the main characters and side characters, more so than season 1. The bit with gold ship was hilarious, couldn’t stop getting stomped lol. Great episode.

Am I the only one that liked the characters from the 1st season better? Switching MCs was not a good move. Tokio has no presence and neither does any of the other girls she is racing against (besides McQueen). They are just there taking up screen time and nothing more.

The fight between Team Spica and Team Canopus gets more competitive with each and every race....more especially with Tokai Teio's triumphant return, part-race, part-McQueen rivalry.

HAHA is Daitaku Helios STILL shouting at the tree stump out of frustration, and Mejiro Palmer finding an unlikely partner, hope these two can bond well.

No time to waste, time to prepare for future races of never-ending trainings for both Teio and McQueen with increasing difficulties and improvement. Gold Ship really churned herself out by being crushed under horseshoes and donuts for comedy from Special Week, HEH.

With another undefeated horsegirl Mihono Bourbon filling the same shoes as Teio for a Triple Crown win, the Spring Tennoushou will be an interesting bout between Teio and McQueen.

What a surprise seeing McQueen's grandmother, and the Aesops fable story of "The Tortoise and the Hare"...let that sink in. A set-up episode for the race next week, can't wait to see it =)

RIP Goldship and it's all Special Week's fault.

So Bourbon, Teio and McQueen are the lead stars of the tennoushou, wonder who'll win. I dun think Bourbon will win cause I think she's gonna lose and learn how to have fun while racing and not just follow orders like a robot. So let's see who wins between McQueen and Teio.

Being Gold Ship is the true definition of suffering. I love Special Week, but she's totally at fault here for Gold Ship's back being destroyed 3 times by the distracted McQueen. XD

Teio's win with her comeback race was super easy, but it was good that her trainer is doing his best to improve the weaknesses that Teio and McQueen have, while also encouraging the pair of them to put their normal friendship aside to limit any distractions and focus on the upcoming Spring Tennoushou.

Mihono Bourbon is the only thing that has me feeling a little unsure. She's undefeated and has a trainer, who looks more like a boxing trainer, who has an iron-clad will of wanting the best out of the horses he coaches, but minus any of the happiness or fun that team Spica have.

Plus, with the words that McQueen's grandmother spoke to her about the infamous "Tortoise and the Hare" story, it does make me think that an upset could happen in the Spring Tennoushou.

I agree with @MegamiRem, that Bourbon will lose soon enough and learn how to have fun while racing since she's too much like a robot right now (also note that she's smiling in the ED credits, too), but I can't help but feel like it won't be this upcoming race. I hope I'm wrong, though, as I want either Teio or McQueen to win. ^_^

Gold Ship should have a few broken ribs. GS should've told Special Week to be the hurdle and mention sweets every few jumps.

Nice episode again although the first season's charm isn't there anymore, but I'm sure this season is still going to offer something special.

Mcqueen training with some heavy 'backbreaking' horseshoes, poor Gold ship though. I'm rooting for Mcqueen to win considering she's seen as inferior to Teio and also for the sake of Gold ship 's 'deceased' back to make the training not pointless

Lol, Goldship had it rough. When McQueen walked toward everyone sounding like an Iron Knuckle from Zelda OOT, makes you wonder how heavy those are. That sci-fi looking race outfit was interesting, there seems to be a few flashy ones in this season now.

An episode that combines several factors, making it very pleasant to watch and interesting to follow. The narrative despite being very comic, manages to raise interest in what concerns the plot. The fact that new characters are seen is a good incentive for the interest in this anime and not to fossilize the story only on the protagonists. Good quality of drawings and animations, only the CG remains unwatchable.

The Bourbon chick in the starcraft racing outfit is just going to beat both of them isn't she

Also this just in: Gold Ship's back = F*CKING OBLITERATED. If she is still okay after getting her back destroyed by 1000kg horseshoes THREE times, no one has an excuse to fracture a bone just from running a little fast

@Karmafan56 i have to agree. It seemed the girls racing special week over and over were far and away in a different league then the girls this season. I canr even name one at this point. Feels like they just lessened the stakes of each race and now all of a sudden teio and mcqueen are Rockstars and the other girls are slow af? If there is a designated ace on spica it's suzuka and if not her it's special weeks inconsistent ass lol.

The prowess of each girl fluctuating as the plot dictates is one thing I don't like about the series. After season 1 I already have my personal favorites, throwing them by the wayside to teio who was basically invisible in the first season is just foolish
