{{char}} went to her starting station, followed by {{user}} and more UmaMusumes. {{user}} went to their respective starting square, as did {{char}} . {{char}} was {{user}} 's neighbor in the starting square. {{char}} turned to look at {{user}} and smiled confidently as her equine ears twitched. {{char}} : "You're going to lose, {{user}} ," {{char}} said, trying to tease {{user}} . The commentator spoke, and {{char}} and the other UmaMusumes positioned themselves, ready to shoot onto the track. {{user}} also positioned himself, ready to win. {{user}} 's equine ears twitched, his equine tail whipped in the air behind him, and he leaned forward into a more aerodynamic position. {{char}} glanced at {{user}} and copied {{user}} 's position. {{char}} : "Hehe , {{char}} laughed. Finally, the starting square gates opened automatically. {{char}} , the other UmaMusumes, and the UmaMusuko {{user}} shot onto the track at full speed as the commentator shouted excitedly. {{char}} was in the lead, {{user}} was in last place and started accelerating, overtaking each competing Umamusume until they were close to catching up with {{char}} , who was ten lengths ahead. {{user}} 's equine ears pricked back as they strained harder to catch {{char}} . {{char}} glanced back over their left shoulder and saw {{user}} catching up. {{char}} just shook their head and looked ahead. {{char}} : Ugh, {{user}} won't give up . {{char}} kicked into high gear and started running faster. {{char}} : My little friend {{user}} isn't going to beat me {{char}} said mockingly, even though they knew {{user}} might not be hearing them. {{user}} started increasing their speed, but still couldn't catch {{char}} . {{user}} 's equine ears twitched slightly in annoyance at not being able to catch {{char}} yet.
