Chapter 1226 – Reactions from all sides
This Macau Horse Race, a total of more than 50,000 spectators crowded into the racecourse, of course there were quite a few tourists within these people, but more of them were horse fans who were quite knowledgeable about horse racing.
Try to reduce the weight of the horse, this is one of the elements to achieve good results in the race, but in front of the Timur, but reversed this statement, his tiger-like appearance, how to look at it is not like a “standard” jockey.
“The results are out, the twelfth horse …… Chasing Wind, with a score of fifty-five point two five, won the second race, let us congratulate him! Although Chasing Wind had a bad outing and had problems charging the fences, he ended up taking the first place in this race with a speed like Chasing Wind. Taking second place was horse number three, his final time was fifty-five seconds and fifty-six seconds, the difference between the two was extremely small, also congratulations to this horse owner, you will receive a considerable amount of prize money, and taking third place was.”
The commentator’s voice, rang out again in the stables, in fact, just now the horse fans had already judged the winner belonged to from the images captured from various angles, but the commentator’s words still caused a burst of cheers.
“This horse is running really fast! More than two seconds late out of the gate, and it’s amazing that it can still run first.”
“Yes! Just one or two seconds short of the world record, it’s really awesome.”
“Hey, the work of the Horse Club is getting worse and worse, how come there aren’t even any details on this horse?”
“That’s right! Even the champion horse’s information is not available, and it’s also lined up on the twelfth track, isn’t this a deliberate attempt to mislead us?”
At this point in time, all the topics within the entire racecourse were centered around Chasing the Wind, it was just that the information that the Horse Club had about Chasing the Wind was just too little.
Normally, on the touchscreens installed at various locations in the Horse Club, one could check the horse’s details, including the pedigree war record teeth and mouth and even as well as the parents’ names.
However, behind Chasing Wind’s name, there are only a few words from the prairie, which makes horse fans very dissatisfied, they bet on horses basically based on this information to make a judgment, the Club’s practice is too pitiful.
Of course, this can not be blamed on the organizers of the race, originally is a temporary addition to a horse, where to find information ah? Don’t ask Zhuang Rui, he doesn’t have it either, he doesn’t even know how big Chasing Wind is.
“Alright, if there’s no information, then there’s no information! I’ll focus on this horse from now on.”
“Unfortunately, I didn’t buy it to win this race, it’s too bad for the one to twenty bonus.”
“It’s okay, there’s still him in the twelfth race, won’t you just buy more then?”
“I don’t know, can’t you see that horse is already exhausted? He won’t be able to get back up to speed.”
After clamoring for a while, the horse fans still brought their attention back, because they had just heard that in the last race, Chasing Wind would still be in action.
However, this caused the horse fans to split into two factions again, on one side, they thought that Chasing Wind could still fight again, while some others thought that this horse could no longer run today, and there was a sudden argument there.
“Grandma, it’s really hanging by a thread! Almost didn’t get the first place.”
Zhuang Rui who has been in the starting place, until he heard the final result, only then will mention in the throat of the heart to fall back, just now starting behind, really let Zhuang Rui heart is also no bottom. He lost the fifty million nothing, but before has boasted in the old man there, if this really run lost, Zhuang Rui also do not know how to face the old man.
So just now is only a short more than a minute, Zhuang Rui behind the clothes were sweat to beat through, he has a few years of work has not been so nervous.
Zhuang Rui just breathed a sigh of relief on his side, General Manager Chen, who had been staying next to him, said with a smile on his face: ”Mr. Zhuang, congratulations, congratulations! You can win at least eight million dollars for this horse race.”
The total prize money of this race was twelve million dollars, and according to the rules of the Jockey Club, the racehorse that ran first would get seventy percent of the prize money, which would be eight million four hundred thousand dollars.
In just over a minute, this kind of money making efficiency, is compared to that world’s richest man sitting in the box of the racecourse, I’m afraid it’s not much better, right?
“Mr. Chen, how much did you buy for Chasing Wind to win?”
Winning the race, Zhuang Rui is also in a good mood, especially the process of this race, is not controlled by Zhuang Rui, that kind of exciting feeling, is also Zhuang Rui has not tasted for a long time.
“Oh, dipping into Mr. Zhuang’s light, I made a small bet of 10,000, according to the odds I can get 200,000, I really have to thank Mr. Zhuang!”
Hearing Mr. Zhuang Rui’s words, Mr. Chen also smiled, although his yearly salary was going to be more than a million, but a mosquito is still meat even if it’s small! No one would mind too much money.
As soon as General Manager Chen turned around, he saw Chasing Wind lying on the ground panting from inside the monitor hanging on the wall, he couldn’t help but open his mouth and say, “By the way, Mr. Zhuang, I see that Chasing Wind might be quite tired, won’t you go and take a look?”
“It’s fine, just rest later, Mr. Chen, go, let’s go over.”
Zhuang Rui smiled at his words, of course he knew that such a little distance, it was impossible to tire Chasing Wind, if he didn’t guess wrong, it was probably Timur and Chasing Wind putting on a show.
“Old Yu, didn’t you say that horse doesn’t work at all?”
“Yeah! What’s wrong with other jockeys being high in weight? They won first place just the same.”
“Old Yu, he’s been working in the stable for decades, but this time, he’s also blind, right?”
Zhuang Rui and Mr. Chen just left the starting point area, the noise behind them exploded, and those horse owners, while looking at Zhuang Rui’s back with envy, also questioned the staff member just now.
“I …… how do I know ah? If you were to see a jockey who weighs more than two hundred pounds, would you think he could win?” Old Yu said with a heart full of grievances. He has been working in the horse farm for more than twenty years, or the first time he ran into such an evil thing, the jockey is overweight not to mention that this horse is more than two seconds late to charge the fence, and in the end, he can actually win the first place, if it is not seen with his own eyes, the old Yu quasi thought that the person who said this is crazy.
“What this …… says is also true, in my place, I don’t believe it either.”
“Others have won, hey, just now did not congratulate two sentences, we broke the rules ah!”
“That young man is not an ordinary person, did not see the former manager of the SJM accompanied? Old Yu, in the future, don’t talk and do things so impulsively, be careful to offend people.”
“His grandmother, in the future is the gorilla horse racing, I will take it as invisible.” Old Yu’s almost gambling words led to a burst of laughter in the arena.
“Our British royal family doesn’t have such a divine horse either!” That British prince let out an emotion after seeing the result of the race.
One of the Arabian Crown Princes, said to his men, “Go and ask to inquire about the pedigree of this horse, and additionally find the owner.”
“Ask if the horse is for sale, money is not a problem.” The world’s richest man especially loved horses, and of course he refused to miss Chasing Wind.
Similar scenes were also staged in the various luxury boxes of the racecourse, especially those foreign guests who love horses, but also the first time to ask for details about Chasing Wind.
Of course, their request could not be satisfied, not to mention that the organizer did not know, even Zhuang Rui himself was also confused.
“Dr. Shu Wen, it seems that this young man, but he’s really not simple! Posteriority, it’s not something an ordinary horse can do.”
Inside that big luxurious box, Guo Daheng was frowning at this moment, as if Chasing the Wind had already run the last race to win over Dr. Shu Wen.
“Hmph, Guo Sheng, don’t be too happy too early.”
Dr. Shu Wen’s face didn’t look too good, he rarely suffered defeat in recent years, he didn’t expect to be planted in Zhuang Rui’s surgery twice, although Chasing Wind hadn’t run the last race yet, the result of this race also made him lose face.
“This horse’s explosive power is good, but the afterburner is not good, can’t you see that it took half a day to recover on the ground before he got his strength back? If this was put in the last race, it definitely wouldn’t be able to outrun my Thoroughbred.”
Shu Wen hadn’t taken his eyes off Chasing the Wind in the screen after the race ended, in his opinion, Chasing the Wind winning first place in the 1000 meter race didn’t mean anything.
The last race was a mile and a half, almost 2,500 meters, which not only tested the horse’s explosive power, but also put forward higher requirements for the horse’s endurance.
Chasing Wind was so tired after the 1000 meter race, he must not be able to cope with the last race, so until this moment, Dr. Shu Wen didn’t think his horse would lose.
“Haha, we’ll know if it’s good or not after the race.” Dr. Guo Daheng was not bothered by Shu Wen’s attitude, Chasing Wind had already shown enough potential to win this one.
After taking Chasing Wind for a physical examination, Zhuang Rui sent it back to the stables and returned to the box where the Qin family was.
“Dad, fortunately, Chasing Wind won, it was still a bit close.”
Looking at the old man who welcomed his old husband like a general who had won a battle, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but say a few more words, “Dad, this kind of thing is not much, almost lost, I see …… that if you gamble on horses in the future, it’s still better to play a little bit smaller.”
To be honest, Zhuang Rui just now heart really seized panic, this two hundred million if it is their own that does not matter, lost on the loss, but changed into the old man’s money, the nature is different.
Squinting his eyes in the sofa rest on the old man Qin, heard Zhuang Rui’s words, eyes suddenly opened, said: “Xiao Rui is right, in the future my Qin family children, each race betting horse shall not exceed 10,000 dollars, all hear my words did not?”
A season in Hong Kong is only a few dozen horse races, the old master set up this rule, even if the family’s sons and daughters go to gamble on every race, it’s only a million or eight hundred thousand dollars, for the Qin family, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
In addition to Zhuang Rui’s family, all the Qin’s children present stood up, no matter what they thought in their hearts, their mouths still said in unison, “Dad, grandpa, we heard.”
