Are you content to merely amble through life? Shuffling forward, step by step, at a snail's pace? Imagine the wind in your hair as you cross the finish line atop a chocobo─the thrill of competition, and the joy of triumph! Would that not be far, far greater?
Ah, but that you are here bespeaks desire already present, does it not? Aye, I think
this eve
, a new jockey
, we do receive
!
Alas, a jockey cannot compete without a suitable steed─a race chocobo, to be precise.
Mayhap you think to nominate your own personal chocobo? If so, strike the thought from your mind at once, for only a chocobo trained for the task will suffice.
But fear not, my friend, for it so happens we have a surplus of fledglings in need of new companions.
In fact, to any who wish to don the mantle of chocobo jockey, the Manderville Gold Saucer will generously gift a race chocobo.
You need only journey to Moogle's Gift Mounts in Bentbranch Meadows, where fledgling race chocobos receive their initial training.
Make your intentions known to the trainer named Katering, and she will see you matched with a suitable steed.
