The story follows three 15-year-old boys who go to a prestigious horse racing academy to become jockeys. The three-year academy is 10 to 20 times harder to enter than most schools, and whoever wishes to enter must pass an academic, physical, and fitness test.
Formerly a member of an idol group winning fans and fame, Yuu Arimura sets out to meet what his heart desires after becoming enamored with horse racing. Having grown up on an island, Shun Kanami has always yearned to ride with horses. Amane Grace was born in England and is lost in the path his parents have set for him, but he still takes on his dream.

Episode 3:
Yeah, this anime is fun enough to keep me watching. Honestly, if you don't like the premise of horse races, I guess there's not a lot special here. A bunch of "charming" boys (and one girl!) learning to be jockeys.
It's light-hearted, not very complex, and follows a tried format. My big criticism is the same I have already voiced for other shows this season: The story seems to make so many jumps, skipping over stuff that would help flesh out the characters and the world, that it makes everything feel rather shallow. But there's where Hiroyuki Sawano's music helps cover for a bit.
By no means a masterpiece, but I currently have a cold and this made me get through another 20 minutes without being reminded of my painful coughing >_>
