Mejiro McQueen is the well-deserved protagonist of the Spring Tenno Sho. She is the only Umamusume in history who has won the Tenno Sho consecutive championship. The record of consecutive championships has been maintained to this day.
Her appearance attracted the attention of the audience the entire time.
It can be said that more than 60% of the audience present came for Mejiro McQueen.
"The absolute overlord of the Spring Tenno Sho, the much-anticipated star Mejiro McQueen has finally made her appearance. She has overwhelming strength in long-distance events. What kind of competition will she bring to us this time?"
The live broadcaster's tone could not conceal the anticipation for Mejiro McQueen, and with her introduction, the audience once again burst into enthusiastic cheers.
"We are all curious: can Mejiro McQueen maintain her record of dominating the Tenno Sho, and what kind of results will she achieve in the end?"
The commentator, who didn't talk much, spoke at the right time, but her simple words were able to arouse the passion in the hearts of every audience member present.
"G1 Tenno Sho's ensemble."
"Every Umamusume has started to enter the gate."

"Miss Teiō~"
On the side, while Sakura Baimu and Satono Diamond stared nervously at Mejiro McQueen in the arena, Kitasan Black spotted Tokai Teio. She raised an arm high and waved to Tokai Teio.
"Trainer-san."
Tokai Teio approached the three and greeted Sakura Baimu.
"How is Ms. McQueen doing?" Satono Diamond, a fan of Mejiro McQueen, is very concerned about the status of her idol at the moment.
"McQueen looks good," Tokai Teio smiled and gave Satono Diamond and Kitasan Black a reassuring reply.
"That's good~" Satono Diamond patted her already sizable chest and felt a little relieved.
"You actually don't need to worry about McQueen. This is her fourth time participating in the Tenno Sho. No one has more experience in this competition than her," Tokai Teio smiled.
Sakura Baimu frowned slightly when she heard Tokai Teio's words, but her eyes did not look at her teammates.
Instead, she kept looking at Mihono Bourbon, who was wearing an extremely eye-catching racing uniform on the field.
"McQueen will definitely be able to perfectly display her abilities in the race. If there are any variables in the outcome, they will be with the other Umamusume."
"Huh? What does Trainer-san mean?" Satono Diamond looked over.
"This time, it can be said that there are really strong players. Not only are there Biwa Hayahide and Narita Taishin, two members of BNW, but there are also strong players from Canopus like Matikanetannhauser and Nice Nature."
Tokai Teio gave a reminder, indicating that the opponents Mejiro McQueen needs to pay attention to in this competition are not just Mihono Bourbon.
"The others are fine, but I always feel that Mihono Bourbon is the one that needs the most attention. Her aura is a bit higher than Rice Shower's," Sakura Baimu frowned and stared at Mihono Bourbon as she said slowly.
"Rice Shower...it was such a pity last time."
Tokai Teio also cast a few more glances at Mihono Bourbon in the venue. Although Rice Shower was not a member of their TCB, she still felt a little sorry for her.
"Let's watch now," Sakura Baimu reminded the Umamusume quickly when she saw that the Umamusume were getting ready to start.
"The last time I felt like this, Rice Shower broke through the Zone. Could it be that Mihono Bourbon also..."
Sakura Baimu frowned slightly, having a bad premonition.
Of course, she couldn't be sure whether her hunch was accurate.
After all, she was not an Umamusume who had entered the Zone.
"Come on, McQueen!!"
"Fourth consecutive hegemony!!"
Several people around Sakura Baimu all cheered for McQueen on the field.

"Although there was a slight problem when Mejiro McQueen entered the gate in the last Tenno Sho competition, it seems to be going very smoothly this time."
When the narrator saw Mejiro McQueen did not show an inability to enter the gate due to nervousness like last time, her tone was obviously more reassuring.
But in reality, Mejiro McQueen was not as calm as the commentator said.
This time she was assigned to the inner lane No. 4, while Mihono Bourbon was assigned to the innermost lane No. 1.
Mejiro McQueen did not have any problems when entering the gate and there was no nervousness on her face as shown last time.
But her attention always drifted involuntarily to Mihono Bourbon, the one on the innermost track, who was always expressionless like a robot.
The tension Mihono Bourbon brought her this time was far less intense and scary than that from Rice Shower last time, but Mejiro McQueen felt a kind of restraint and pressure from Mihono Bourbon next to her.
This feeling is like a volcano that has been accumulating for a long time, suppressed to the extreme and may erupt at any time.
Although Mihono Bourbon's aura is not as beast-like and tearing as Rice Shower's, and she is two lanes away from Mejiro McQueen, it still makes Mejiro McQueen very concerned.
"The 3200-meter track tests endurance and strength. Everyone is familiar with the Kyoto venue."
"Now, all 15 Umamusume have entered the gate."
"Tenno Sho has now..."
"Begun!"
The gate suddenly opened, and fifteen Umamusume rushed out one after another.
"Mejiro McQueen had a very good start. She seems to be very familiar with the Kyoto venue."
"Come on, McQueen!!" Several members of TCB shouted in unison.
"This time, the leader is indeed Mihono Bourbon, who has returned from a year-long break."
"It is her consistent tactic to leave all Umamusume far behind at the beginning of the race and lead until the end."
"Following just outside Mihono Bourbon is Mejiro McQueen. Her strength and mentality are extremely outstanding, and she will never let others disrupt her rhythm."
"Wait a minute! Matikane Tannhauser and Biwa Hayahide on the left and right of Mejiro McQueen also wanted to grab 1st. They are so fast that they have already surpassed Mejiro McQueen!"
Mejiro McQueen is better at running in the Front. She can control it well whether she is leading or taking the lead.
But if there is a professional leading Umamusume like Narita Taishin or Mihono Bourbon in the competition, Mejiro McQueen will choose to follow closely and wait until the end of the race to start to exert force.
However, this time Mejiro McQueen's opponent is not only the leading Mihono Bourbon.
Biwa Hayahide and Matikanetannhauser, who are also accustomed to running in the 1st place, are also eyeing the outstanding Umamusume, Mejiro McQueen.
Mejiro McQueen's eyes closely followed Mihono Bourbon who was leading the race at the front, but she did not expect that the ones on both sides, Matikane Tannhauser and Biwa Hayahide reached a silent consensus.
"These two have actually reached a consensus. They will not hesitate to spend more energy in the start to block the Front Runner position from me?!" Mejiro McQueen frowned.
She looked at Matikane Tannhauser and Biwa Hayahide who were immediately ahead of her on the left and right of her track and felt a little troubled.
