Chapter 1225 – Extreme Speed Storm (V)
“Haha, interesting, there’s even a horse that hasn’t started.”
“Yeah! That young man seems to be the horse owner, this is a disaster.”
“Yeah! Just now see him that horse is very good, who knows …… alas, pity!”
Zhuang Rui’s shout just now, startled those horse owners and trainers who were originally about to refuel their racehorses, and when they saw Chasing the Wind run out, all of them whispered.
These people may not be gloating, but they unanimously agreed that Zhuang Rui was an unlucky man, making a mistake in such an international competition would be tantamount to losing the chance to win the championship.
“So what if it’s just a start? That jockey weighs more than two hundred pounds, it would be strange if he can run first!”
That staff’s words attracted the attention of the crowd, everyone was more nervous before the start, no one noticed Timur, now when they heard this, they all immediately spoke out to ask after him.
To know, short distance horse racing, the role of the jockey to play about thirty percent, can be said to be crucial. If you don’t have a good jockey, then it’s the same as using sixty percent or even less of your horse’s condition to compete with someone else’s hundred percent of the horse’s condition, which is too big of a loss.
So at this moment, almost all the eyes to Zhuang Rui, are ridicule and pity, maybe some mean people are thinking, to Zhuang Rui this physical appearance, playing horse racing designation did not go to a hotel in Macao as a duck promising.
“Grandma, I forgot to tell chasing the wind to run when they hear the starting gun.”
Zhuang Rui at this time is also remorseful, chasing the wind and Timur are the first time to participate in the race, completely without any experience in the race, this kind of fault should only be borne by Zhuang Rui.
However, he didn’t even put the gazes of the bystanders in his eyes, but stared tightly at Chasing Wind who rushed out, whispering in his mouth, “Chasing Wind, go for it, you have to fight for your buddies!”
In the VIP box of the racecourse, Qin Haoran was also looking at the scene that had just happened with his face as if it was dirt.
“It’s over, it’s over, there’s no hope at all.”
Although it was only after just two or three seconds that Qin Haoran saw Chasing Wind shoot out electrically from the starting point, his face was still ugly, and he simply didn’t believe that Chasing Wind could the latter to be on top.
To know, 1000 meters of short-range speed horse race to maintain the world’s fastest record, is only 53 seconds, this is simply and human 100 meters sprint, zero point zero a few seconds of time, often can decide the winner of the game.
Starting two or three seconds late, that is the same as the victory will be given away, even if Qin Haoran for their own son-in-law confidence again, at this moment can not help but disheveled sat down on the sofa, no longer have the strength to cheer.
And the Qin family’s box is separated by two boxes outside, is a very large area of luxury box, at the moment inside is sitting Guo Daheng and Dr. Shu Wen and other people, the fourth wife and the king of gamblers Mr. He, Hurley is also inside.
“This little guy, he really doesn’t listen to people’s advice, I told him long ago that this jockey won’t work, he just doesn’t listen, alas, Dr. Shu, this time you won again.”
Guo Daheng also noticed the scene that just happened, although he didn’t bet on this one, but with the point of meeting, the horse that doesn’t have any racing experience, plus the jockey that hasn’t participated in a horse race, it’s a rare thing to win!
“Oh, Mr. Guo, young people are always a bit temperamental, Xiao Zhuang is still a good person, you can’t irritate him later!”
Dr. Shu Wen smiled at his words, originally he still had a trace of doubt about Zhuang Rui’s chasing the wind, but at this moment, all the doubts had dissipated, even the start could be wrong, such a racehorse was no threat to him.
“I don’t know what happened, the twelfth racehorse didn’t run out, eh? It’s out, the twelfth racehorse is out.”
Although Zhuang Rui’s Chasing Wind was not a seeded runner in this race, but the racehorse didn’t run out of the fence, it was still rare in the sport of horse racing, that’s why the commentators on the scene, also gave Chasing Wind a lot of attention.
“As you can see, this is a Thoroughbred horse with a light golden color, what a majestic horse! It’s a pity that this race will have nothing to do with it.”
The commentator’s words caused more people to focus their attention on Chasing Wind who had just sprinted over the fence, and countless binoculars were now pulled to the track where Chasing Wind and Timur were.
“I just checked the information, so it turns out that this horse will also participate in the last race today, hopefully they won’t make any mistakes, eh? What do I see?”
It seemed that the change in the racecourse made the commentator’s tone, which had been quite smooth, suddenly become agitated.
“Oh my god, what do I see, that horse is catching up, the horse that started last and landed in twelfth place is catching up, it’s already running in fifth place, yes, it’s fifth place!”
According to the rules of the Macau Jockey Club, for races with more than ten horses, the fifth place can also get some prize money, as long as you don’t buy the bet to win, you can almost still make a small profit.
“What? Chasing Wind is coming up?”
The commentator’s words caused Qin Haoran on the sofa to sit up straight violently, his eyes looking towards the screen, and he was already too late to use his binoculars to pinpoint Chasing Wind’s position.
“Heavens! The twelfth horse is still accelerating, yes, he’s still accelerating, he’s like a loaded bullet, overtaking the horses in front of him one by one, he’s now in third place, and I promise you, there will be a surprise today.”
The commentator’s passionate words were still echoing in the arena, and Chasing Wind was really running faster and faster, his entire body was in the air, his hooves almost like they didn’t touch the ground, and a little bit of light was to run out more than ten meters away.
“There are still one hundred and fifty meters, can we really win?”
Qin Haoran at this time can not care about refueling, but held his breath, nervously looking at the electronic display in front of him, clenched into a fist of hands, trembling slightly.
Even Elder Qin, who had originally closed his eyes to rest, would have opened his eyes by this time, but he didn’t look at the live broadcast, instead, he quietly listened to the voice of the live commentator.
“There’s still the last 100 meters to go, horse number twelve has already run into second place, but it’s still a length short of first place, can it catch up? Can he catch up? Let’s wait and see!”
In short distance racing, one length is already a big gap, almost locking up the distance of the championship, even the commentator is afraid to make any judgment.
Wind Chaser’s feat of overtaking eleven racehorses in a row has focused everyone’s attention on him.
Originally should be noisy race track, at this moment is strangely become silent, this tense and dramatic scene, let everyone hold their breath, waiting for the chasing the wind to overtake again.
The jockey who was temporarily in the first position also seemed to feel threatened, and kept hitting the horse with his whip, his body was almost bent over the horse’s back to reduce the resistance of the wind, and his mouth was even yelling, trying to stimulate the horse’s last potential.
The horse was also fighting for its life, when it was running wildly, its mouth was already foaming, although its limbs were still strong, the rough snorting sound showed that it had already overdrawn all of its stamina.
“Half a length, fifty meters to go, the twelfth horse is really catching up, only half a length away, God! Let’s see, how beautifully that horse moves, he’s like a master dancer, interpreting power and beauty on the track!”
This commentator really had some level of commentary, his words made the whole crowd feel as if Chasing Wind really looked like he was dancing, that robust and graceful body, cutting a beautiful scenery line on the runway.
“Over go, over go!” Qin Haoran had already stood up from the sofa and locked onto Chasing Wind with his binoculars.
“How can this be? How can it …… it run so fast?”
In another box, Dr. Shu Wen was also dumbfounded, a race that was originally thought to be a foregone conclusion had suddenly become confusing.
And with Chasing Wind’s current momentum, it is simply unstoppable, the horse in front of him is already showing fatigue, as long as Chasing Wind holds on for a few more seconds, the first place will be his.
“Over there, over there, oh my god! What do we see? A late-furlonged racehorse completing a great comeback.”
When Chasing Wind overtook the racehorse that was in first place, the entire field suddenly boiled over, this was not only cold, but also a heavenly cold.
All those who were in a position to do so were checking Chasing Wind’s profile on the electronic screen in front of them, and the winner …… seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
“No, the twelfth horse’s speed has slowed down, the third horse is neck and neck with it, what’s wrong? What’s happening, is it running out of stamina?”
The commentator’s voice brought the crowd’s attention back to the race, but just as they looked over, the two horses had already crossed the finish line.
“What the hell happened at the end? Well! I want to know as much as anyone, who really won the championship?”
At the last moment, no one could see who actually crossed the finish line first, in the crowd’s feeling, it seemed as if the two horses had crossed together, and who was first and who was last would have to be determined by the electronic camera.
“Horse number twelve seemed to have a stamina problem in the final stage, or else with his form, he could have won easily. Oh, it’s really a stamina failure, we all saw it, it has fallen to its knees, and its rider also got down from the horse, gosh …… how is this rider so robust?”
While waiting for the results to be revealed out, the commentator still focused his attention on the chasing wind, because today, no matter whether the chasing wind loses or wins, it is already famous.
The commentator’s words also made the whole crowd’s eyes focus on Timur for the first time, and as expected, this jockey was stout and simply comparable to a wrestler.
