I'm not a fan of the "cute girls doing cute things" genre.
I'm not a fan of "sports" genre.
So, you would assume I would not like this show, and I would have thought the same going into it when a friend convinced to give the show a chance.
But I was pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed this show on a whole.
Then when I found out that all of the horse girls, the race results, and their careers were based on actual Japanese race horses and their real racing histories, it just made the show all the cooler and more interesting.
Now, if you actually delve into all ... the individual details, there are some that stick very accurately to their real life counterparts while there are others who's outcomes are changed in the show, for reasons that I won't devulge due to spoiler reasons. But I will say that I understood why they made the changes they did, and it was never done just so that the protagonist could always win.
That's actually something I really liked about this show, popular characters, including the MC, lose at various times. And that's realistic for not just horse racing but sports in general.
And that's why I tend to not like sports anime. Because the MC, or the MC'S team just always wins, either through the power of friendship or sheer dumb luck does this person or people who've trained for a few weeks manage to somehow beat the perennial regional champions who have been training since birth, because plot armor.
But because this show is mostly based on the results of actual careers, we get to see believable ebbs and flows with growth and development over time and encounters with new opponents who are better in higher ranked brackets and what it means to move up in competition and truly face tougher and tougher competition as you progress in your career.
Overall, the story and the characters do a great job of showing this and it's paired with well done animation.
I can't wait for the second season to finish up in another couple weeks so I can binge it next.

I’ve seen over 600 anime and this is the first 1/10 I’m giving. This is pure garbage. It’s so bad it gave me cancer. A kindergartner with 1 day experience in Blender could make a better anime.
The CG is actually on the level of PS2 graphics and it is haphazardly mixed with 2D animation in such a jarring way that it gives you a headache.
With 4 episodes currently available and the poor quality being consistent throughout it is obvious that this wasn’t just an isolated issue with some scenes or a particular episode, like what happened with the most recent Seven Deadly Sins seasons, but ... rather a systemic problem with the entire production of the show.
Seriously, I don’t know how this got made, how it passed quality control (if there was any), how it got approved to stream after being delivered to Crunchyroll in this state. Everyone involved in this project should be embarrassed and not be anywhere near anime production in the future.
I have nothing more to say about this horrible show, don’t waste your precious time watching a single minute of this travesty.
