^I didn’t think they would follow Silence Suzuka’s fate exactly...you know all things considering that’d be a bit much for this type of show. I guess I can’t say I’m surprised they’re changing certain events of Special Week’s career. Plus they’re already doing the whole idol thing....

They still have to sell the mobage so I don't think they would go for career-ending injuries. But I could see them go for a injury just serious enough to put Suzuka out of commission for a season or so. Just to give the show a dramatic final.

IMO I consider this anime setting to be a form of horse afterlife, so it would not be about making everyone suffer twice. That they could live a life they couldn't have if they were living horses with genetically affected health issues.

'I want to be a racehorse who makes people dream...'
Aren't they the dreams of gamblers hoping to make a pile on the races? Rather amusing that the key element of betting on horses gets completely ignored. When are the Yakuza going to try bribing Special Week to throw a race, and get kicked in the face? This doesn't seem bad for a cute girls show. The dojjiko thing is managed very naturally, the girls have believable, non-exploitative characters, and don't take any nonsense without giving it a kick in the face.

And yet they are doing so, so we get concerned. Special Week and Seiun Sky's wins and losses are the wins and losses that their namesakes had. Grass Wonder suffering a leg injury and being unable to compete for most of a season was a real event. They are making history repeat, so we are justified in looking at the more drastic events in these horses' careers, and worrying that they will be adapted in some way.

Watched episode 3:
Now, things are getting interesting.. I guess Special Week needed to lose, so she could learn things. How nice, Suzuka help ready Special's horse shoes. I guess getting kicked by a horse girl with racing shoes on with result in a terrible injury. o_o Not much else to say except I'm enjoying the singing and racing. Looking forward to next week's episode.

The thing is, it mattered that the only Japanese racehorse El Condor Pasa lost to was Silence Suzuka. They were two of the very best of their time. Handing over the victory against El Condor Pasa to someone else... just feels kind of like it's insulting to both of them. In terms of the show, Suzuka winning a victory against one of the strongest horsegirls in the series should be a major moment... but if Special Week has already done that, the impact just won't be there.
