その人たちはファンでは無くただ強い馬が好きなだけ。その強い馬も負けたらすぐにそっぽを向くんだ。 ファンとは絶好調な時も、ダメな時もずっと傍で暖かく見守り応援をする人達のことだよ!ウマ娘2期のテイオーの物語の時の心無い人達の様になってはいけないのさ。馬たちはみんな頑張ってるんだから

Ryusei Sakai sobre FOREVER YOUNG: “Hubo momentos en el entrenamiento en los que parecía que le costaba un poco, o en los que se sentía diferente de lo habitual… Pequeñas señales, ¿cómo decirlo?... Era solo una sensación, pero algo no iba del todo bien. (Cuando se le preguntó si el caballo estaba inquieto en la puerta) Algo de eso. Durante el ensillado o en la puerta. Eran esas pequeñas cosas. (Cuando se le preguntó si la estancia y el ajuste en la pista influyeron) Tengo algunas ideas sobre lo que pudo haber sido, pero me gustaría hablarlo con el Sr. Yahagi y el personal de la cuadra. Todavía no tengo una respuesta definitiva. El ritmo no fue tan rápido como esperaba, así que pude acomodarme sin problemas en la segunda posición. No creía que pudiéramos alcanzar esa posición, así que me sentí bien al tomar la primera curva. Todavía no he visto la carrera completa, pero me pareció similar a la del año pasado: el caballo siguió su patrón habitual de victorias, y creo que todo salió muy bien. No fue como en Dubái (Mundial), donde la respuesta desapareció pronto, así que la sensación era que podíamos ganar hoy también. Hasta que pedí el esfuerzo, claro. Cuando llegó Sovereignty… ya había empezado a pedirle un poco antes de que llegara, con la esperanza de que pudiéramos esprintar juntos, pero cuando Sovereignty nos alcanzó, el caballo ya no tenía fuerzas. Al fin y al cabo, no es tan fácil.
Ryusei Sakai on Forever Young: “There were parts in training where it seemed to be struggling a bit, or where it felt different from usual… Small signs, how should I put it… It was just a feeling, but something felt a little off. (When asked if the horse was unsettled in the gate) There was some of that. During saddling or in the gate. There were those small things. (When asked if the stay and adjustment at the track affected it) I have some ideas in my mind about what it might have been, but I’d like to discuss it with Mr. Yahagi and the stable staff. I don’t have a definitive answer yet. The pace wasn’t as fast as I expected, so I was able to settle smoothly in second. I didn’t think we’d be able to get that position, so I felt good about it as we went around the first turn. I still haven’t watched the race properly, but it felt similar to last year - the horse’s usual winning pattern, and I think things went very well. It wasn’t like Dubai (World Cup), where the response disappeared early, so the feeling was that we could win today as well. Up until I asked for the effort, that is. When Sovereignty came… I had already started asking a little before it arrived, hoping we could sprint together, but by the time Sovereignty got to us, the horse had nothing left. It’s not that easy, after all.”
