Set in a horse racing academy where three 15-year-old boys train to become jockeys. The three-year program is extremely tough, and applicants must pass not only an academic but also a physical and fitness test. Yu Arimura is a former popular idol who, after watching horse racing for the first time, gets infatuated with it and wants to join the academy.
Shun Kanami grew up on an island and only heard about horse races through radio broadcasts. Amane came from a wealthy English family, and his father was a jockey. He previously studied at several horse racing institutes throughout the world.
