Chapter 1639: The Galloping Horse
After the song "My Kentucky Hometown", the second day of the Breeders' Cup officially kicked off.
The first race was not the one-mile new horse meadow race in which the two-year-old stallions competed, but the Breeders' Cup marathon bid.
It is a race for adult horses aged three years and older over a distance of one and three-quarters of a mile, making it the longest race in the Breeders' Cup and the winner carries a prize of half a million dollars.
In comparison, this race is not so important, the prize money is average, and the level of racing is not particularly good, and the main thing is that it is good at endurance!
Of course, this is the best thoroughbred race, and each horse is very fast, and no other horse can match it.
As soon as the music stopped and everyone sat down, the twelve thoroughbred horses participating in the race were led by several horse riding staff members into the arena.
In the saddle of these adult thoroughbred horses sat a slender and relatively short jockey, who led the horses into the race.
As soon as these twelve thoroughbred horses appeared, they immediately ignited the atmosphere in front of the Keenland Racecourse audience and countless live broadcasts, pushing the atmosphere to the first ** of the day.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Thunderous applause suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the Keenlan Racecourse and countless live broadcasts.
Along with the applause, there were countless cheers.
The owners of these racehorses, their relatives and entourage, the spectators who know the horses, or those who bet on the horses, are all cheering and shouting the names of the different horses.
For Ye Tian and them, this game has nothing to do with them.
There are no Yetian horses here, and they don't bet on any of the horses, just be a spectator and enjoy a good race.
Soon, under the guidance of the race staff, twelve thoroughbred horses entered the starting gate one after another, ready for the race.
Immediately afterwards, the on-site narrator began to introduce each horse from the inside to the outside according to the different starting gates.
The information presented includes the name of the racehorse, its age, its previous results, where it comes from, as well as the name of the rider, the name of the owner, and more!
With the introduction of the on-site commentator, the applause and cheers on the scene continued to sound.
After the introduction, the voice of the on-site commentator fell, and the applause and cheers that resounded throughout the Keenlan Racecourse also fell, and the entire racecourse fell silent in an instant.
Whether it was the audience at Keenland Racecourse or the countless spectators in front of the live broadcast, everyone watched with bated breath and excitement at the twelve starting gates and the thoroughbred racehorses.
"Bell bell bell"
A crisp and pleasant bell rang, and twelve electronic starting doors opened at the same time.
In the next moment, the twelve thoroughbred racehorses, which had long been ready to go, rushed out of the starting gate like arrows from the string under the urging of their respective jockeys.
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
The sound of horses' hooves was amplified by a loudspeaker, and it exploded over Keenland Racecourse and in everyone's ears, and it was exciting to listen to.
Then look at the thoroughbred horses that burst out of the starting gate, scrambling to the front in an attempt to grab the most advantageous position on the track.
During this period, whether it is a speeding horse or a jockey on the horse, there will inevitably be some contact or collision, and the scene looks quite thrilling.
The game began, and a wonderful drama began.
Like all the other spectators in the audience, Ye Tian and the others stopped talking, focusing on the galloping horses and admiring their vigorous posture.
About 1,200 meters after rushing out of the starting gate, the thoroughbred horses were already in their own positions and a certain distance from each other, and the scene was not so thrilling.
Next, it will be a contest of speed and endurance.
Whichever horse is faster, has better stamina, and the jockey is better, the horse will have the last laugh and wear a championship wreath.
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
The sound of horses' hooves in everyone's ears has become more intensive, and those athletic thoroughbred racing horses are getting closer and closer to everyone!
In the blink of an eye, these twelve pure-blooded racing horses with different coat colors galloped past the track in front of Ye Tian and them, and the sound of hooves was like thunder and lightning, which was shocking.
As the thoroughbred horses passed by, David excitedly asked:
"Steven, among the twelve thoroughbreds, do you think that horse will win the championship?
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this guy, then looked at the thoroughbred horses that were galloping by, and then said with a smile:
"David, I don't think the same as you, this is a marathon after all, and the horses that rush to the front at the beginning may not be able to hold on to the advantage until the end.
In comparison, I'm more interested in the third-placed red racehorse, the Red Devil, who staggered away from the first two horses and ran a little bit out.
In this way, it can eliminate the interference of the first two horses, allowing the jockey to better judge the situation and react, and also use his position to suppress the horses behind him.
Of course, in the end, it depends on the strength of the racehorses, and I don't know much about these thoroughbred horses, so it's hard to predict, it's hard to say that the horse will win the championship!"
A distance of three-quarters of a mile is not long, but it is not short!
Although it is the longest race in the Breeders' Cup, known as a marathon, it is nothing more than a distance that can be covered in the blink of an eye under the hooves of these speeding thoroughbred horses.
Soon, the race was in the sprint.
In the thunderous applause, the horse racing horse that spewed white gas in his mouth and crossed the finish line first was neither the melancholy prince that David was optimistic about, nor the red devil that Ye Tian was optimistic about!
The first to cross the line and win this year's Breeders' Cup marathon was a late maroon horse named Alabama Star.
As the name suggests, this thoroughbred horse is clearly from Alabama.
This is a well-known racehorse known for his stamina, and it is no surprise that he won the marathon!
Today's first competition is over, and the winner is decided!
"Bang Bang Bang"
The thunderous applause rang out again, very enthusiastic, and instantly flooded the entire Keenland racecourse.
Ye Tian and the others all applauded the winner of this game.
When the applause fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately said to Betty:
"Honey, let's go to the entrance of the arena and greet that cute little guy of Jueying, and cheer that little guy up so that he can make a splash"
"Okay, dear, I can't wait to see that little guy galloping through the arena, it must be extremely charming and invincible!"
Betty nodded excitedly in response, her eyes full of anticipation.
Next, Ye Tian said a few more words to Sam and David, and then several people left their seats together and walked towards the entrance of the arena with a smile.
Allen, who was sitting not far behind, took a deep look at Ye Tian's back, got up and left his seat, and walked to the entrance of the arena with a few people around him.
At this time, the 'Alabama Star', who had just won, was celebrating, enjoying the applause and the joy of victory!
