Thank you very much for coming to many customers in the hot weather today. I think there are a lot of customers who came to see Mick Fire’s triple crown run, so I am grateful. This horse managed to win the Triple Crown following many twists and turns. It’s a horse that has plenty of room to grow, so I think we’ll be able to show you a stronger Mickfire in the fall. At that time, I hope you will cheer for us at the packed racetrack once more. Thank you very much for today.
Thanks to the staff, everyone involved, and all the fans who supported me, I was able to become an undefeated Triple Crown horse. I think we’ll see a stronger Mick Fire, so I’d be happy if you might continue to support me. Thank you very much today.
