horse racing seems like a less explored sports concept. I have only heard of 3 anime which touches the topic -Midori no Makibao (which is in my ptw), uma musume and a bit of it is in silver spoon. So nice to see more horse racing.

But seeing its a original sports and noticing the heavy male favored ratio in the trailer makes me hesitant.

Lets see how it goes

For the all-male bishonens show, this anime has quite a few female characters with popular VAs.
