You're not wrong with your feelings on the Zone explanation scene. First time I saw it made me immediately think "since when did CinGray become a Shaft anime" lol.

Details for episode 19 --------------------------------------- Nakayama Racecourse The racecourse and all of the sights shown inside are very accurate to real life, though there is one minor mistake in the anime. Betting machines are shown because the artists used the real venue as a reference, but they are not present in the manga because horse betting isn’t a thing in Umamusume. The giant plush is also real, though it is of an actual horse instead of an Umamusume. --------------------------------------- Trainer license exam difficulty 24:36 The test is indeed that difficult. As Mini says, the test sometimes has a single digit amount or even zero people pass. It is also limited to people who have had multiple years of experience working with horses. Details for episode 20 --------------------------------------- Intro scene This scene is an adaptation of the first half of another gaiden chapter called “Distant Thunder”, focused on Tama and Komiyama’s relationship. --------------------------------------- Tama and the old man’s relationship The old man is based on Mino, Tamamo’s real life owner. He took Tamamo in when no other owners would, so he was likewise the only landlord willing to take Tamamo’s family in when they were looking for a place to live. Unfortunately, in real life he did not take in Tamamo’s mother, Green Chateau. He did take in Tamamo’s two siblings though. --------------------------------------- Nase’s Father It was mentioned in a previous episode that Nase’s father is also a notable trainer. Take’s father was also a jockey. --------------------------------------- Tama’s diet In real life, Tamamo’s diet began to suffer due to the lower quality water after moving away from Tokyo. He had to be given a liquid diet as a supplement due to how little he ate, and if I remember correctly, they even transferred higher quality water over from far away for him to drink. --------------------------------------- Tama’s Retirement Usually early horse retirement is just so that they can retire with a good record for stallion fees, but it turns out that there is a bit more to Tamamo’s story. In addition to the health concerns with Tamamo’s diet, Mino knew that the end of his own life was approaching, and he wanted to see Tamamo’s foals before he died. As such, the decision was made to retire Tamamo early, and they were actually debating whether to even have him run in the Arima. Unfortunately, Mino did not live to see the foals. --------------------------------------- Belno and Komiyama’s conversation In real life, Oguri’s assistant trainer and someone working with Tamamo (I don’t remember exactly what position) became close friends and shared information about taking care of the horses. The line Komiyama says about helping the enemy comes from real life, as the person told Oguri’s assistant trainer useful information about adjusting his diet that allowed Oguri to lose fat and build more muscle.
