Summary of the anime “Uma Musume Cinderella Gray.”
The story is set in a world where Uma Musume, people with horse-like ears, tails, and superhuman legs, exist. These Uma Musume, who inherit the names and souls of famous horses, are said to be mystical beings with strange and glorious destinies.
Oguri Cap, a horse girl, enrolls in Kasamatsu Training Academy, a training center in the deserted region of Kasamatsu that teaches and develops horse girls. Oguri Cap is scouted by trainer Kitahara Jo, who was looking for someone who could become a star and enter races with Kitahara’s advice.

Kitahara lamented that there was no Uma Musume in Kasamatsu who could become a star. Still, after watching Oguri Cap run, she teared up and muttered, “There she is… right here…!! A Uma Musume (star) like that,” sensing potential in Oguri Cap.
While Kitahara’s fellow trainers were scouting Fujimasa Marchi, Kitahara approached Oguri Cap and asked his name. After undoing his hair, Oguri Cap quietly said his name, “Oguri Cap.”

The Tokai Derby is the highest-ranking race in the Tokai region, and Kitahara dreams of the Uma Musume, which he has trained to win.
After hearing Kitahara’s dream, Oguri Cap said he didn’t understand, but he understood that he couldn’t race unless he joined the team, so he replied, “Then I’ll join. Kitahara’s team. Let me race.” Oguri Cap joined Kitahara’s team.

When he was born, Oguri Cap had such bad knees that he couldn’t even stand up, but thanks to his mother’s dedicated massages, he can now run. “That’s why I’m so happy. That’s all,” Oguri Cap said, expressing his joy at being able to run now.
Oguri Cap: “I was frustrated…”

Norn Ace was to run in the same race as Oguri Cap. Miniature, the Lady suggested that Norn Ace step on Oguri Cap’s heels when he made a spurt to knock his shoes off. Norn Ace tried to step on Oguri Cap’s heels, but Oguri Cap’s leg strength was so great that he couldn’t do it, and Oguri Cap came in first.
After the race, when asked by Miniature the Lady why she didn’t follow the plan, Norn Ace replied that it wasn’t that she didn’t do it, but that she couldn’t. “Such leg strength… even if she had pushed hard, I would have been blown away,” Norn Ace said, realizing that Oguri Cap’s leg strength was not normal, and acknowledged Oguri Cap’s ability, saying, “That guy… he’s on another level.”
Norn Ace had been harassing Oguri Cap until now, but after seeing Oguri Cap perform the Bon Odori dance at the Winning Live, he seemed to change his heart, muttering, “…I’ll teach you how to dance.”

Without knowing the true meaning of Rokuhei’s words, he entered Oguri Cap in the Chukyo Cup, where he won first place by two lengths. Kitahara was called by Symboli Rudolf, the student council president at the Chuo Training Center Academy, who told him, “I want to scout Oguri Cap for the Chuo (Twinkle Series).”
Rokuhei felt that Oguri Cap’s running ability was not at the local level and knew that he would be scouted if he ran at the Chukyo Racecourse, so he warned him not to run in the Chukyo Hai if he was aiming to compete in the Tokai Derby.

Oguri Cap, who participated in the Gold Junior race, was running while worrying about what to do. When Kitahara saw Oguri Cap’s painful face while running and realized that his suggestion was causing Oguri Cap pain, he encouraged him by shouting, “Run!!! Run!!!”
Oguri Cap’s expression changed to “Yes, I understand,” “My trainer says so. Let’s go with that,” and he finally sprinted to win first place. Oguri Cap’s transfer to the central circuit was decided.

Oguri Cap is modeled after a real racehorse of the same name, but the racehorse that was the model for Fujimasa Marchi has not been revealed.
