259. Return to play
As a rider, the biggest goal is to win the championship, and as a racehorse, you have the same pursuit.
After joining the South Australian Cowboys, Patricia has been playing the role of tinker, going wherever there is a need for manpower, and training with the Sonic Cats when he is fine.
This was unfair to him, as Pa was originally a professional horse trainer at Mr. Kane's Horse Farm, and after being summoned by Emperor Wu, he flew from Melbourne to Sini and decided to start his career as a rider.
Emperor Wu didn't participate in any competitions since he joined the ranch for four months, and Emperor Wu was very upset, but Patricia didn't feel anything.
Heading into March, into the new year, he will officially wear the shirt of "South Australia" to represent the farm in Marseille, which is the news that has cheered everyone up.
For this reason, Patricia was given two sets of rider's clothes tailored for him, which were very royal when dressed, and the sunny looking Pa looked like royalty when he wore them.
On the left side of the chest of the black costume is a poker jack of clubs, representing Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table.
He was once King Arthur's subordinate, the first warrior of the Knights of the Round Table, mild-mannered, brave, and helpful.
It is fitting that his image is used as a spiritual symbol for the South Australian racing team, celebrating the great chivalry.
The sonic cat wears a white "J" ornament between its eyes, which looks very majestic.
Patricia's career first bout was a Group 3 bout, and despite the low stakes of the bout, Patricia took it seriously.
In order to keep a low profile, and also to surprise the horse racing world, Emperor Wu planned to make the sonic cat incognito, and gave it a new name when he registered for the race: Plum J.
The previous horse racing world thought that the Sonic Cat was old, that the Melbourne victory was a flash in the pan and that it would forever be history.
After changing its name to "Plum J", Sonic Cat will be presented to the world in a new way.
After last year's Melbourne Cup, Sonic survived in the bush for a month and then made the long journey to Sini, proving that he is not only a pampered horse, but also a human friend.
Patricia accompanied him from birth to the track, and he always thought he could communicate with the sonic cat.
The third-level race, named the "Pioneer" Cup, will be held tomorrow at the Hengwei Racecourse in Siney.
Due to the low level of the race, it is a flat weight race, and the horses with good results do not need to carry extra weight, and everyone competes on the same starting line, completely depending on the horse's individual ability and the rider's ability to control.
Most of the horses are at the novice level, as you can tell on the day you step on the track.
The day before the race, all horses are transported to the designated stable, and the rider has to do a thorough inspection to prevent anyone from taking performance-enhancing medications.
Most of the people gathered at the racecourse on this day were die-hard horse fans and lottery fans, and they would not miss a single race that would bring them profits.
Due to the overhead video, the appearance of "Plum J" attracted a wave of onlookers, who were not optimistic about the horses, despite their black and shiny hair.
An uncle who was a horse fan told Emperor Wu that horses like the "Plum J" were more suitable for dressage or riding horses for ladies races.
"Don't you think his rider is very motivated? Look at his pale blue eyes, full of fighting spirit. Emperor Wu said with a smile.
The uncle shook his head with his chin twisted goatee, and then laughed, "He looks more like a vase, and I will never bet a penny on them anyway!"
After asking a circle, basically no one is optimistic about this horse, and it is no wonder that the strength of the horses in the third division is often very different, especially in the flat weight race, and some competitions are completely compared by Liu Xiang and Andy Lau.
Emperor Wu opened his eyes and looked at a few random racing horses before going back, they were all rookie horses, and they couldn't compete with the sonic cat with the pseudonym Meihua J.
Xiaopa's debut, of course, the South Australian cowboys have to cheer on the scene, Wu Di chartered a large box in the viewing platform, located in the center, and there is a giant screen TV in it to broadcast.
For a Group 3 event, no one usually spends more than $10,000 on that luxury box because the competition is not attractive enough.
Early the next morning, five cars of different styles parked outside Hengwei Racecourse, and a group of old men, big boys, and a lady walked down.
That's right, they're the South Australian cowboys.
After breakfast, they went directly to the suite box, the quality of service in it was great, there were PSP games, Tex was going to compete with Cheng Zhe for a shooting game, and I often listened to these two guys talk about it when I was at work, arguing about who was more powerful.
There is also an important guest today, and that is Lisa, who naturally wants to witness Patricia's first match.
What I didn't expect was that Uncle Berkeley personally drove his daughter over, because he also wanted to see what that kid was capable of.
Berkeley's appearance caused a sensation, not far and near, but the owner of the Sini horse ranch knew his name and had some respect for the stubborn old Basque man.
Tex was his old friend, and the two embraced passionately. Berkeley still has a big beard as before, and his muscular body has the taste of an old man.
Previously, he was opposed to his daughter dating Patricia, and due to ethnic factors, he did not want his daughter to have a non-Basque boy.
As descendants of the Basque people of Spain, their family inherited a belief in the superiority of their own people.
The Basques, neither in France nor in Spain, were in fact not integrated into the country, and they always maintained an independent attitude.
In Uncle Berkeley's words, why should the hard-working and capable Basques pay taxes to support those lazy Western Europeans?
For this reason, Berkeley hated the House family, who considered themselves descendants of the French Bourbon dynasty.
Stanley House, concerned about Berkeley's reputation, invited Berkeley to their reception several times, but Berkeley mercilessly declined.
In the entire suburbs of Siney, there are only two companies that dare to speak out against Stanley House, one is Emperor Wu's South Australian boy band, and the other is the Berkeley family at the foot of the Blue Mountains.
At first, Berkeley was not interested in Emperor Wu, but he had a better impression of Asians than the French, because Asians were as industrious as Basques.
When Berkeley found out that Emperor Wu hated Stanley House as much as he did, he thought that he would be his friend, and that the enemy of his enemy was a friend.
