A brief recap of Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray episode 8

Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray episode 8 picked up from the ending of episode 7, kicking off the race between Black Ale and Oguri Cap. Elsewhere, some of Oguri's classmates were speculating about her race while discussing how only nine percent of the horse girls ever win their first national debut race. Needless to say, Oguri managed to win her race against Black Ale by a huge margin. This got the attention of the masses as well as the reporters.
Eventually, Oguri enters her second graded race against Muteki, another one of her classmates. Although Muteki tried to mark Oguri throughout the entire race, Oguri managed to cross her. She won her second graded race, solidifying herself as one of the most promising horse girls of the current generation.

Eventually, the public learns about Oguri's lack of registration and inability to take part in the Classic Series and Japanese Derby. Sometime later, Muteki enters and wins a Classic Series race, raising the question around what would've happened if Oguri were to take part in the race as well.
As a result, public support for Oguri reaches critical mass. The episode ends with one of the reporters meeting Symboli Rudolf alongside a petition with ten thousand signatures, asking for Oguri's inclusion in the Japanese Derby.
What to expect from Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray episode 9?
Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray episode 9 will reveal whether Symboli Rudolf will actually meet the associations and request for Oguri's inclusion in the Japanese Derby. Given Oguri's potential to become the leading horse girl of the current generation, it is possible that Symboli Rudolf compromises on her uptight ways and actually helps her take part in the Japanese Derby.
