As Sakura improved, Kaito started to develop a winning strategy. He focused on building a strong team of horses, each with their unique strengths and weaknesses. He studied the racing conditions, selecting the right horses for each track and adjusting their training accordingly.

As the gates opened, Sakura shot to the front, her speed and agility proving too much for the other horses. The crowd erupted as Sakura crossed the finish line first, securing Kaito's first major victory.
