Sunday afternoon, Hong Kong Sha Tian Horse Farm.
A race that seemed meaningless to outsiders was about to begin. Horse fans routinely chose horses according to their own preferences, hoping to win the prize at one stroke. On the other hand, the horse experts and the host continued to talk to the camera about their experiences and the previous training conditions of the horses.
At the same time, in the Outer Court Hall of the Land of Fish and Rice on Dong Mountain.
Boss Ma, Fatty Yu Feng, and others were around the TV, watching this "meaningful" horse race.
Because Boss Ma's daughter, Lisa, would compete in this race. Originally, Boss Ma wanted to return to Hong Kong to take photos of the leading horse, but after thinking about it, he left this opportunity to his wife and daughter in Hong Kong. He estimated that if he went back, he would not be able to get away. Although he could not take the leading horse in person, there would be opportunities in the future. Once the racetrack here was built, Lisa would definitely be able to show off her power! Besides, he also wanted to learn from Fatty Yu Feng and make his presence felt around Lin Dong, so he stayed and explained the race to those who knew nothing about horse racing.
"Will he win?" Chu Ling 'er didn't want to be sad.
"He will win!" Boss Ma was full of confidence.
"Then let's take a picture of it with our mobile phones." Moe was always ready. If he won, he would take a picture and post it on Weibo to make his fans happy.
"The phone is not clear enough. I have already asked a professional photographer to come!" The photographer mentioned by Fatty Yu Feng was sent by the city TV station. He usually followed Cheng Mingge. This time, when he heard that there was a chance to take a picture of Lin Dong, he was so excited that his blood vessels almost burst. Even the provincial TV station and the court TV station did not have such opportunities. Although it was a horse race and they couldn't shoot Lin Dong, it would be difficult for it not to be popular if he was in the picture. The Internet was now crazily searching for his information. Sometimes, an old photo of Lin Dong could be found on a website, which was not an exaggeration at all.
Lin Dong didn't want to come, but the two little girls, Moe and Chu Ling 'er, forced him to come.
Of course, this was also the idea of Fatty Yu Feng.
Dean Qu and the others also came to watch the race.
These old men were not interested in horse racing. They wanted to collect all kinds of information about Lisa, especially her performance during races, for future reference.
"The competition hasn't started yet!" Chu Ling'er saw that Host Ma Jing kept talking in Cantonese. Although she could understand it, she didn't know what the professional terms were. Her patience was running out. The adorable girl was different from her. The adorable girl stuck close to the uncle and stuffed a popcorn in her hand into her mouth. She watched with relish.
"Those horse classics experts seem to look down on Lisa. Haha, let's see their expressions later!" Fatty Yu Feng could also understand Cantonese.
On TV.
The horse expert had just finished introducing the horses for this race and was making fun of Boss Ma.
The bespectacled expert in a red suit said, "Boss Ma's' Little Princess Luck 'seems to be well-trained. The horse's body is very strong, and its muscles are all out. It looks good, but its spirit is a little lacking. It doesn't seem to have much fighting spirit. But for Old Ma to be able to do this, it's already pretty good. This' Little Princess of Fortune 'almost died because of her injuries. Boss Ma spent a lot of effort to save her. I heard that he even went back to the mainland to invite the most authoritative doctor. So, for this' Little Princess of Fortune 'to be able to return to the track is already a kind of victory. "
Chu Ling'er was puzzled. "Why is it 'Little Princess Luck' and not 'Lisa'?"
Boss Ma quickly explained, "I called it 'Lisa'. I treat it as my daughter, so I called it 'Lisa'. That's what 'Little Princess Luck' calls it. At that time, I gave it such a name to bring some luck. "
There was a horse show host on TV. When he heard his companion mention Boss Ma, he felt that this was a good topic, so he smiled and said, "I heard that Boss Ma is very confident in the comeback of 'Little Princess Luck.' Although he couldn't fly back because he had something important to do in the mainland, he still sent his wife and daughter to the scene to be the first horse. We all know that Boss Ma loves horses. Some time ago, he even bought a lot of retired old horses from all over the world. I heard that he was going to send them to the mainland to invite authoritative doctors to save their racing lives. "
"That's impossible. If retired old horses could be saved, then the foreign experts would have done it a long time ago." Another horse show host wearing a golden tie shook his head. "Little Princess Luck is an exception. She wasn't seriously injured and can recover, but that doesn't mean that all retired old horses can do it. Even for Little Princess Luck's race, I think she can only get the feeling of racing and recover. If she really wants to be first, she'll have to wait for a miracle! "
"I also think that Little Princess Luck is just a supporting character!" Another equine expert was also pessimistic. "To be honest, Boss Ma's Little Princess Luck is recovering well. I watched her train a few days ago, and her body has indeed recovered. It's just that her fighting spirit hasn't been aroused. After all, she has suffered setbacks before, so she won't be able to regain her confidence so quickly. Moreover, her opponent in this race is too strong! "
"Good World, Fire Kirin, Lucky Star, and Prince of Nine Dragons are all hot favorites for this race, especially Good World!" The first host nodded.
"And Flying Ink Sea Dragon. I think this horse is very impactful." The host with the golden tie smiled and nodded.
"I'm more optimistic about the Divine Wind-Chasing Colt and Lovable. Lovable is also a mare. She's slightly petite, but she's more agile. She's advantageous when coming out of the gate and entering the bend. I've seen her go around the barrel. She's very agile. Lovable is very understanding and often acts like a spoiled child to the horses. Moreover, she's only four years old now. Even if she can't win this race, there's still a lot of hope in the future. "The horse show expert in a red suit and glasses had his own opinion.
"Is no one optimistic about Morning Light and Thousand Slash? I think these two horses are very competitive and have a high chance of winning. Moreover, the owner of Thousand Slash is Young Master Zheng. Young Master Zheng has already announced before the race that if his Thousand Slash loses to the Little Princess Xing Yun, he'll treat the reporters to a banquet of 100 rounds. "Another horse show expert also had his opinion.
"Thousand Slash shouldn't have a problem beating the Little Princess Xing Yun. That's why Young Master Zheng dared to bet with the reporters." The host with the golden tie laughed loudly.
"I also think that Thousand Slash isn't as good as Good World and Fire Kirin." The first host was not only responsible for starting the topic, but he also had to control the situation and not let the topic stray too far from the horse race.
"The other thing is that they have good luck and are even better. These two horses have increased the intensity of their training and are in good shape. I think it's not bad to choose one of the two horses. " The host with the golden tie saw that his partner didn't want to talk about Young Master Zheng, so he quickly returned to the horse race. It was fine to waste some time on Boss Horse. That guy had a hot temper, but Young Master Zheng wasn't easy to deal with.
"Let's choose the horse!" The first host routinely let everyone choose the horse they liked.
He favored Good World and Fire Kirin. He also chose Thousand Slash as a small way to suck up to Young Master Zheng. After all, he had just said that Thousand Slash wasn't as good. The host with the golden tie chose Flying Dragon in the Black Sea and also favored Happy Star. The hosts had their own division of labor. If everyone chose the same horse and none of them won, then the horse fans would definitely complain. If they spread the net so widely, there would definitely be people who won. The horse fans would have nothing to say. The horse show expert in a red suit and glasses had a unique taste. He favored Divine Wind-Chasing Colt and Lovable.
The last horse show expert with the lowest sense of existence favored Fire Kirin. The second horse was Morning Light.
The first host saw that there was still Prince of Nine Dragons who didn't choose.
So he added and praised this Prince of Nine Dragons. However, the Little Princess Xing Yun didn't choose anyone. It was as if this mare didn't exist. The first host even joked, "Boss Ma, you don't lack money. It's not bad to put it on to run and get used to the track. Look again. As expected, the Little Princess Xing Yun is very cold. The odds are 97. I want to bet on her being cold! "
"This is too much!" Hearing what the TV said, even Chu Ling 'er couldn't stand it. She clenched her fists angrily.
"It's okay. When Lisa comes out, we'll just beat their faces." Boss Ma quickly comforted her with a smile.
"You must win!" Chu Ling 'er gave a firm order.
"Yes, we will win. Don't worry. I promise we will win!" Boss Ma felt that this little girl was the most difficult to please. She was cute and obedient and didn't need to be coaxed. Chu Ling 'er, on the other hand, was more mischievous than boys and would cause trouble whenever she was unhappy.
On the TV, the horses were led out one by one and entered the gate.
There were people cheering for the other horses.
Only the Little Princess Xing Yun walked out. Other than the shouts of the horse trainer, there was silence. Obviously, the audience didn't think highly of this old horse who had returned to the race after retirement. You want to praise this kind of indomitable spirit? Sorry, horse fans were gamblers. Gamblers only liked things that could win money. There was no market for sympathy and pity in this kind of race. There was only one thing here, and that was strength. The strongest and fastest horse was a good horse!
Everything was ready.
The bell rang. All the jockeys and horses were ready.
Both men and horses held their breaths in rapt attention. They were only waiting for the order to charge through the gate.
Good World and Fire Qilin are like twins chasing closely behind, they're not even half a horse's head apart. Ink Sea Flying Dragon has caught up with its explosive power. Behind it is the Divine Wind-Chasing Colt and Lovable Person, followed by Starlight and Lucky Star Shines High. There's no need to look at the Little Princess of Luck, she's already one horse's head short from the start, but this old horse is still gritting her teeth to catch up. Her spirit is commendable, lovable, lovable, even surpassing Fire Qilin and Good World. Now, Prince of Nine Dragons' first place is in danger. Ink Sea Flying Dragon, Ink Sea Flying Dragon is about to overtake, but Prince of Nine Dragons' steed is speeding up, so he's still in first place for now … "
"How did we fall behind?" Chu Ling 'er stomped her feet anxiously.
"Start to slow down. I specifically told you to increase the distance between us and then catch up. This way, we can overtake them the most!" Boss Ma said confidently.
"But we can't be so far behind!" Not to mention Chu Ling 'er, even Fatty Yu Feng and the others were anxious. That was because the Little Princess Xing Yun on the TV, Lisa, was almost ten meters behind Prince of Nine Dragons. The race had just started!
"We can win. This is a strategy. Trust me!" Boss Ma couldn't explain it to these people who had never watched horse racing before.
