After all the training and pre-race pressure, the Japanese Derby came down to a photo finish between Special Week and El Condor Pasa.
The favorites had to do a bunch of press events. Special Week was the most nervous, but charmed the public, with a little help from Gold Ship who told her to "be silly."
Meanwhile, the other girls had time to do high school girl type things. Like find lucky items, recruit for clubs, and get molested by the Trainer guy. Gold Ship couldn't leave Mejiro McQueen alone, which is funny because in real life Mejiro McQueen was Gold Ship's grandfather on his mother's side.
Idiosyncratic Gold Ship has the eye catch this week.
Seiun Sky and King Halo appeared to be favored in the Derby because they had beaten Special Week on similar terrain. But it all came down to El Condor Pasa and Special Week, who actually tied in the photo finish. Some other horse girl claimed third place as both Seiun Sky and Halo King faded into the pack.
