A Beginner's Challenge at the Tenno Sho

There was a holiday with no particular plans, so I thought, “Shall we go to Fuchu Racecourse?” Surprisingly, it’s less than a 30-minute drive from my home, but I had never been there before. I had been encouraged to try horse racing by coworkers and heard from neighbors that “there are plenty of places for kids to play, and it’s surprisingly fun,” so I had been interested for a while. Recently, my family had also been hooked on the horse racing drama “The Royal Family,” which pushed me further to go.
