Chapter 574 An Country Bumpkin

Although it is night, the venue is as bright as daytime. Because the lighting design is reasonable, it will not affect the performance of the participating horses and jockeys.

This racecourse is different from what you usually see on TV. In addition to the necessary hurdles, the track has two types of grass and dirt, and a lot of curves have been added to make the competition much more difficult.

It has just snowed in Huasheng, so the muddy ground will inevitably be muddy. This puts extremely high demands on the participating horses and jockeys, making horse racing more interesting and challenging.

In addition to the guests arriving on-site, there are also some who are unable to come due to delays. They will place bets by phone through the live broadcast.

The weather is cold, but it still cannot resist the enthusiasm of everyone.

Fang Yuan held An Zhixia's hand tightly, and together they followed the flow of people to the small courtyard next to the stadium.

The jockeys are fully armed and are riding their horses leisurely in circles. In order for the distinguished guests to observe carefully, they have to drive their horses over the railings from time to time to show their equestrian skills, the quality of the horses and their cooperation with the horses.

"Mr. Fang, which one do you think has potential?" James hung binoculars around his neck and held a pen and paper in his hand. He carefully recorded the situation of each horse and its jockey, and selected the ones most likely to win the race. There are several groups, and I am confused about which one to vote for.

An Zhixia has always been very busy. She was either working or on the road her whole life. Occasionally she would lie on the bed to catch up on her sleep during the occasional vacation. Improving herself is all about using fragmented time. Even if she attends a banquet, it is something she has to go to.

Although horse racing was a particularly popular activity among the upper class, she couldn't make time for it. Because she has never been exposed to it, she cannot understand the madness of others.

At this moment, everything she saw was novel. She imitated others who wore telescopes around their necks to observe and write down in their notebooks.

Fang Yuan’s eyes fell softly on An, a country bumpkin, and Xia. After hearing James' question, he looked towards the courtyard, looked at it for a while and said, "Number 10 or 26."

James immediately lowered his head, looked over it, frowned and asked seriously: "Mr. Fang, why do you think No. 10 and No. 26 might win?

No. 10 is short in stature and has a dull temperament, and does not seem to be explosive. Its owner is still a woman. Don't worry, I've participated in dozens if not hundreds of horse racing events, and I've never seen a woman win a race.

You must know that the quality of the horse can only account for half of the winning rate. What is more important is the skill level of the jockey.

No. 26 is a tall, shiny-coated horse with a big temper. He is a rare good horse. However, his jockey's riding skills are mediocre. I have seen him race several times and it has had some influence on him. Each time, his results are below average. "

Fang Yuan was silent, "I don't know much about horse racing, so I just looked at these two groups that are pleasing to the eye.

In fact, the horse racing type of BO lottery seems to be more regular than other types, but the organizers are not fools. They must have considered various factors when selecting horses and jockeys, and tried to be as indiscriminate as possible. sex.

So the advantages and disadvantages we have seen are not of much reference, and the luck component is relatively large.

It can even be said that if it is an upset, it will be more beneficial to the organizer. "

James nodded repeatedly, "You are right. Luck actually plays a big part in horse racing. There are often some 'dark horses' appearing. Some people can make millions with just a few dollars, and some people are very experienced, but No matter how much money you invest, it will be wasted.

If winning was so easy, there wouldn’t be so many people losing their money every year chasing horse racing.

However, we all still like the thrilling feeling when horse racing. It is so easy to become addicted. Whether you win or lose is secondary.

We are not going to make a fortune from this, so who is willing to lose if we can win? "

An Zhixia raised her head and took a serious look at No. 10 and No. 26, and then at the others. Except that the jockey of No. 10 was a woman and the horse was a different color, she could not see anything else.

"How about we vote on numbers 10 and 26?" she asked hesitantly.

“Okay,” Fang Yuan nodded.

An Zhixia took out the two checks she had just received, each worth one million M gold.

The purchasing power of money is now very strong. One million M gold is more significant than 10 million thirty or forty years later. So she was a little reluctant to let go.

Fang Yuan smiled and put his arms around her shoulders, bent slightly and leaned into her ear and said: "Money earned is spent. Since we are here, we must follow the crowd. Besides, you won this million M gold." It's just right to spend it.

The other million can be used as a stepping stone for us to enter the upper class society in China. It is also very cost-effective. "

An Zhixia thought about Garrett, the local snake in Hua City, and Leng Ran, who had been pointed at by so many black holes just now. He handed over the check directly, gritted his teeth and refused to give himself a chance to regret it. He said to the staff: "Miss, please help me with each other." Buy numbers 10 and 26 for one million M gold.”

James then said: "Miss, I will also press No. 10 and No. 20, each, well, just one hundred thousand each. Then No. 18, No. 39 and No. 47 will each press five hundred thousand!"

The waitress in the bunny suit smiled and nodded, took out a piece of paper, wrote the receipt, and stamped it.

Selected guests can go to the indoor stands to watch the entire event with high-power telescopes, eat snacks, taste wine and discuss business at the same time.

However, everyone’s attention was on the field, and there weren’t many voices in the stands.

When the time comes, the jockeys and horses have already taken their places at the starting point. The spectators hold their glasses and raise their eyebrows as if they are participating in the race themselves.

After the gunfire, the horse galloped away under the control of the jockey.

It snowed all day today. Although it stopped in the evening, because the racecourse was also introduced to hot springs, the temperature was suitable and it was not too cold. The snowflakes turned into water on the ground, making the venue muddy.

Obstacle races, which were originally very dangerous, now make jockeys even more nervous.

As the race progressed, the gap between the fifty horses gradually widened. People secretly cheered for the groups they had bet on. When they saw that the group they had bet on was temporarily ahead, some people couldn't help but whisper.

No one laughed at anyone, it was enough for them, and they themselves were the same.

The track is complicated and curved, like a ball of wool that has been tangled up by a cat. However, the track is large enough that the horses can gallop throughout the entire race. The corners become the key to catching up, attracting the attention of the guests in the stands.

An Zhixia held Fang Yuan's arm tightly, gasping, shouting or jumping up and down excitedly from time to time. She was full of youthful energy, which made him feel strange.

Fang Yuan used his tall body to cover her, and then kissed her cheek hard.
