The fourth episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama "The Royal Family" (Sundays at 9pm), starring Satoshi Tsumabuki, will be broadcast on November 2nd.
In the previous episode, Tsuyoshi (Kiba Katsumi) of Nozaki Farm, which insists on dealing directly with horse owners and pricing each horse at 100 million yen, was serious about winning with his horse. "My goal is to win a G1 race with a horse from this farm," said Tsuyoshi, while Kozo (Koichi Sato) was determined to "win the Arima Kinen, the highest race in Japan, and make our horse the best in Japan." To Kurisu (Tsumabuki), the two men seemed to overlap. When the deal between Kozo and Tsuyoshi was finalized, Kurisu was overcome with emotion and brought to tears...
In episode 4... Kurisu is called by trainer Hironaka (Masanobu Ando) to visit a breeding farm in the Hidaka region. "Royal Hope," which Kozo bought from Tsuyoshi for 100 million yen, has been moved to the breeding farm to undergo training to become a racehorse. However, the horse is extremely wary, and even the experienced staff are at a loss as to what to do, and no jockey can be found.
Kurisu and Hironaka pin their hopes on a certain person: Saki (Takasugi Mahiro), a blonde jockey affiliated with the Iwate Racecourse. However, it is difficult for a local jockey like Saki to obtain a jockey's license for the national racecourse, and he has previously caused some problems.
Kurisu, who believes in Saki's skills, persistently negotiates with the help of reporter Taira (Kenjiro Tsuda).
Around that time, a scandal is uncovered at Royal Human Company, and Yutaro (Kotaro Koizumi) deals with the matter...
Based on the novel of the same name by Kazuma Hayami, Eiji Kurisu, who admired his father, a tax accountant, but experienced setbacks and lost hope. However, his life takes a major turn when he meets horse owner Kozo Sanno.
