Secretariat: "You really think you're going to deny me the Triple Crown, Ms. Second Place? You’ve already had two chances, what makes you think the third time will be any different?"

Sham: "Bold words for someone who hasn’t crossed the line yet."

Secretariat: “Careful there, Ms. Almost. Hope’s a dangerous thing… especially when you’ve never finished first.”

Hey all! This is the sneak peak of some of my characters for the American Gallop series I am planning to do (a look at what Umamusume looks like from States-side!). Above, we have Secretariat in her signature blue-and-white checkered pattern having a little talk with her rival Sham in the paddock area before they enter the starting gate. Great shoutout to Franz (artist link above) for doing a stellar job on this piece! Stay tuned for more in the future, with more US Uma's and a planned comic that is in progress!
