Skill issue. I just got the good ending first try.
>Beat Bourbon twice in some random G2 races
>I follow her to Satsuki Sho and get 4th meanwhile she jobs at 7th
>In the derby she only wins by a nose
>In Kikua Sho I get 3rd and she jobs again
>Won the Japan Cup
>Won the Arima Kinen
>Keep winning all the way
>McQueen Jobbed in Tenno Sho and got 4th so if people wanted to blame Rice they would have to blame Opera and Rudolph too
>Won the Japan Cup again
>Won the Arima Kinen again
>I've only seen her ult activate 5 times, 4 of which were the final races, in the other ones she was like 6 paces ahead of the pack on average so it couldn't even trigger (pace chaser btw)
I think what worked for me was focusing on stamina, I hit D in it while other skills were still far in F. I started neglecting it afterwards but compensated with hydrate and soon after gourmand, but if you want to rely on that you need higher than average wit. She once failed to activate it in the finals and choked hard. Also I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the weather seemed to react to her mood, when she was depressed it was raining every other race (another reason to pump stamina), before that and after she got over it, it was always firm ground. One more thing I noticed, nearly all her races are right handed, so the corresponding skill was a great boon.
