89. Small town entertainment horse racing
Jenner took over the construction of the horse farm in the distant pasture, where weeders have cleared the old dead grass, and the grass is now bare, revealing yellow-brown soil.
The soil was not bad, and the reason why the grass did not grow well was due to Fletcher's problems in the selection of forage seeds, as well as the dense planting density, the competition between pastures for nutrients, and the drought and lack of rain in the region, which made Fletcher helpless and had to sell the pasture to cut off the loss.
Until the racecourse is built, they will stay in South Australia and wait for Jenner's construction to progress.
The appearance of the sonic cat made Emperor Wu speed up the formation of a horse racing team, and he wanted to open up the northwest corner of the distant pasture as a horse farm, and fence off a field for daily training.
Patricia became the main rider and trainer, and Emperor Wu would give advice based on the physical condition of the sonic cat.
Pa couldn't believe he had become the standard-bearer of the championship race, and he would ride the Sonic Cat to fight for glory for South Australia.
The burden was heavy, he hadn't competed in any competitions before, and he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
"Okay, Patricia, you have to believe in yourself, as for the money, you don't have to worry, just tell me where you need to spend. ”
Emperor Wu cheered him up, and he currently needs to find some amateur competitions to accumulate experience for Xiaopa.
Frank tells Emperor Wu that tomorrow is the town's annual "Pelican Cup."
There are a lot of cowboys in Pelican Town who love horseback riding, and business-minded people take a fancy to this, and will hold amateur horse races from time to time, with little prize money, hundreds or thousands, and everyone gets together to have a good time.
Benjamin's son, Benjamin Jr., is a big fan of horse racing, and he is a well-known player in Pelican Town, riding his family's big white horse, the Straw Hat, in a race where he finished seventh.
The most influential competition in Pelican Town is the annual "Pelican Cup Equestrian Recreation" "Competition", which is an entertainment event held with the support of Mayor Bryan to let farmers and ranchers who have worked hard for half a year relax and enjoy the joy of life.
"Pelican Cup" In order to emulate the "Melbourne Cup", Mayor Bryan announced that all citizens of the town would have a holiday on this day, except for civil servants such as police officers and firefighters. In addition, cold beer drinks and fruit snacks were provided free of charge at the competition, which made the children very happy, and they would wear their most beautiful clothes to have fun on the spot.
Brian, a children's writer by training, also has a football game for kids under the age of 12 to sign up for, and the best player is rewarded with a one-day experience as mayor.
The Pelican Cup is a six-kilometer obstacle course that takes place in half Pelican Town due to the town's lack of an open-air stadium and takes competitors and their horses through the streets of Pelican Town, from running up small hills to crossing streams.
Racing is mainly entertainment, and horse owners will bring this kind of personality prop to their horses, and even if they don't win the championship, it is very happy to be selected as the best dress.
For safety, on the day of the game, the Pelican Town Police Department was fully mobilized, and they would be sent out on the streets to maintain order. If someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the police station, then the "Pelican Cup" is a good day.
Patricia was so excited when she heard about it that he offered to participate in the Pelican Cup.
Tex frowned, "You're driving a Ferrari and racing a bicycle, and there's nothing to be happy about winning." ”
Pa disagreed, feeling that as a rider, he should be tested in all kinds of competitions.
"Unless you're riding a miniature horse, I'm not going to applaud you. Turks said wickedly.
Emperor Wu knew in his heart that the sonic cat had just arrived at the ranch, and after staying in the wild for so long, it had recovered a lot of wildness, and he could take advantage of the competition to let it find the feeling of the track.
This is an entertaining race, and of course there is an element of entertainment, and the riders participating in the race are expected to wear eye-catching clothing.
Tex, who has always been fond of teasing Patricia, will not miss this opportunity, he finds several pictures of cartoon characters for Pa to choose, as long as he nods, Tex's will get him immediately.
Pa's brows furrowed, just a few minutes ago he was imagining himself wearing a handsome equestrian costume and riding a majestic horse.
You can't wear an equestrian suit because it will be criticized as too serious and you will be disqualified.
Benjamin Jr. is a frequent visitor to the Pelican Cup, and his annual outfit revolves around a vampire gentleman, and last year he became Count Dracula, a long red trench coat that caused countless women to cheer, coupled with his handsome appearance, once became the object of Pelican Town girls' pursuit.
"Haha, Patricia, this is a good opportunity to solve your singleness, you must know that the women cultivated by Huaxihe are as gentle as water. Turks quipped.
Pa is a big boy with strong blood, he has only had a girlfriend before, and he blushes when he sees a beautiful girl.
Eventually, based on his emaciated size, Patricia was dressed as a "buckethead".
buckethead is a famous American guitarist, nicknamed the Barrelhead Monster, no matter where he performs, he always wears a KFC barrel on his head and a white mask on his face.
Wearing a mask, he has always been the pale Buckethead in the eyes of the public, cold for twenty years, and curious for twenty years.
His music style is changeable, once he released a half-hour music album in 3.5 days, but the album style spans a lot, there are not too many similarities, and it maintains high quality, which is very admirable.
For this reason, Emperor Wu specially went to the town to buy a family bucket, and after everyone happily ate it, they buckled the KFC bucket with oil to the head of the small pa.
In order to be more similar to Brother Barrel, he found a long curly wig and a white mask, but unfortunately Brother Barrel's height of 193cm could not be copied, and Patricia could only be a miniature version.
Pa can play guitar, which is just great, and tomorrow's game will tie the guitar firmly to him.
In order not to make people recognize the sonic cat, Emperor Wu also gave it a hood and a black saddle, and from the appearance it was an ordinary horse.
After a toss, Pa was still very satisfied with his appearance, because Brother Bucket Head was Pap's idol when he was learning guitar, and he didn't expect to play the rider's version of Buckethead one day.
The main purpose of this competition is to test the physical fitness, speed and other data of the sonic cat, to see if it can adapt to high-intensity running after living in the wild for so long.
The Pelican Cup's track is based on the town, where government officials will place obstacles in different places, such as wooden blocks and tin buckets, and vehicles will face a $1,000 penalty if they move these obstacles at will.
Suffice it to say, tomorrow there will only be horse races in the whole town.
Emperor Wu suddenly remembered one thing, tomorrow night was the anniversary of Truth University, and Kaibi Ora invited herself to be her male companion at the ball, and Emperor Wu naturally would not miss this opportunity.
