Chapter 1222: Extreme Storm (3)

Blindfolded early in the morning and not removed until a few minutes before the race, these horses, who were originally more irritable, were already suffocated, and once they came out of the gate, they suddenly burst out of the fastest speed, rushing out of the starting point like arrows off the string.

Although there were only more than a dozen horses, they all rushed out in unison, and the momentum was quite extraordinary, bringing a gust of wind on the track, and the sound of horses' hooves beat like a heavy drum in the ears of the audience in the stadium under the effect of the ground megaphone.

As the speed of the horse continued to increase, tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium also became crazy, shouting in fascination, cheering for the horses they fancied, and the earth-shattering sound formed an invisible wave of air, echoing in the sky above the racecourse for a long time.

Before humans invented the car and airplane, horses ...... It is the best friend of mankind, and occupies an indisputably important position in the era of cold weapon warfare, and a good cavalry is often an important weight to kill the enemy.

Even in the age of guns, whether it was World War I or World War II, cavalry also played a very important role in warfare, but in peacetime, horse racing eventually replaced war horses, so that the original battlefield killing the enemy has become today's arena competition.

Compared with modern motorsports, horse racing can inspire the primitive wildness in people's hearts, and their ancestors may have ridden on horseback to conquer the north and south of the world, and that primitive speed set off a storm in the field.

The 800-meter sprint race was just a matter of moments before reaching the finish line.

At the moment when the horses crossed the line, as if an invisible hand was directing over the racecourse, the loud noise suddenly stopped, and everyone stopped at the same time, and held their breath, the silence from the crazy screaming to the sound of the pin dropping, forming a great contrast.

That's what makes horse racing so appealing, from one extreme to the other, to bring unparalleled sensory stimulation and make people fall in love with the sport.

……

"Who's number one?"

"Looks like Horse Three?"

"No, it's the second horse, I see it most clearly......"

"It's Horse Six, it's Horse Six!"

After a brief silence, there was an earth-shattering roar in the racecourse, and people were speculating about the horses that would eventually cross the line.

The reason why the word "guess" is used is because when the horse is galloping at great speed, except for the seven or eight cameras at the finish line, I am afraid that no one can tell which horse is crossing the line.

The horses were so close that they almost all reached the finish line at the same moment, and even the jockey on horseback didn't know who had won the first place, and at the moment, like the horse fans on the scene, were waiting for the results to be revealed.

The club's organisers didn't have spectators and fans waiting long, and just a minute after the horses crossed the line, countless large screens began to replay the slow motion of the horses crossing the line.

As can be seen from the static picture, the three heads of the horses are almost at the same time rushing through the focus, but the middle one is slightly a few centimeters ahead, which is this insignificant few centimeters, and the head horse of this race is decided.

"Well, why is this horse?"

"My favorite No. 2 horse turned out to be the fourth......

"What's the hurry, this is the first one, but the prize money of hundreds of thousands, the next is the main event......"

After seeing the final result, there was a huge sigh at the racecourse, no matter what the project betting, it was always more to lose and win less, and the sigh in the racecourse overwhelmed the cheers, which is the best proof.

"Horse No. 3 won the first place, the No. 6 horse won the second place, and the No. 7 horse won the third place, congratulations, please jockey take the horse to the routine inspection office!"

The official radio also sounded, urging the jockey to take the horse to the test, and only after the test was carried out can the result be considered real and valid.

"Haha, my horse won, my horse won!"

After the radio sounded, the group of anxiously waiting horse owners suddenly burst into cheers, and three or four people jumped up excitedly at the same time, and hugged each other there

And the surrounding more than a dozen horse owners are looking at those people with envious eyes, you know, winning the first place in this kind of horse racing conference not only represents an honor, but also has an extremely rich reward.

You must know that each race has a corresponding prize pool, and all the prize money in the prize pool is obtained by the winning horse, and as the first place in the race, under normal circumstances, you will receive about 60% to 70% of the prize pool.

Just like this cushion race, the total prize money is 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, if calculated according to 70%, the owner of the horse just now can get 630,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is already a lot of money for those who are not rich horse owners.

And according to the rules, the 630,000 Hong Kong dollars are all received by the owner alone, of course, under normal circumstances, the owner will only take 70%, and the trainer, jockey and stable staff will share the remaining 30%.

As for the last place in the race, of course, there is also a prize, but according to the rules of the Macau Jockey Club, only the top five can get the prize money for races with more than 10 horses, and the prize money obtained is also the remaining 30%, which is simply incomparable with the first place.

Therefore, the owners who won the second and third places, although their faces were also happy, were far less happy than the first place, and they looked at the people who were celebrating with envy like others.

"Mr. Chen, why are those people all horse owners?"

Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled, he could understand some Cantonese, and the distance was relatively close, hearing those people celebrating seemed to be calculating what prize money would be distributed.

Chen Xiaojun glanced at those people and said with a smile: "Oh, what do you say about them? The horses that they bought together, not to mention, these people are lucky, and the horses they bought are also very competitive, and they have won several times......

"Khan, is this okay?"

After hearing Chen Xiaojun's explanation, Zhuang Rui understood, and now in Hong Kong and Macau, there are many white-collar people who have also begun to participate in the form of clubs, and then go to participate in various competitions, and dividends according to shares after winning bonuses.

Now a slightly more ordinary racehorse costs between 100,000 and 500,000 yuan, and if it is a thoroughbred, it will cost more than one million Hong Kong dollars.

As long as the horse is properly trained and can participate in more races, the cost of a horse racing can be almost earned back in a season, which has also given rise to many small equestrian clubs.

The existence of such small clubs has greatly promoted the development of horse racing in Hong Kong and Macau, and in a way, the behavior of these small horse owners is the foundation that really supports horse racing in Hong Kong and Macau.

Of course, under normal circumstances, they can only win these races in which no famous horses participate, such as the last three races in which the world's famous horses gather, which is not something they can touch at all, and even if they participate, it will end up at the bottom of the dust.

After explaining the operation of some pony owners to Zhuang Rui, Mr. Chen looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Zhuang, it will be your turn to race soon, now you have to bring it over and weigh ...... first."

The interval between each race is about 30 to 50 minutes, so the horses below must be prepared immediately after the previous race.

"Okay, let's get over ......"

Zhuang Rui nodded, and asked casually as he walked, "Mr. Chen, what is the total prize money for this second game?"

"The second race is not a mat race, there are four horses from Europe who have won sprint races, so the prize money is much higher, a total of 12 million Hong Kong dollars......"

"So much?"

Zhuang Rui didn't expect that he could get a lot of money from the racecourse, 70% of 12 million, which was more than 8 million.

"Hehe, the Jockey Club has considerations, and it wants to arouse the emotions of horse fans......"

Chen Xiaojun laughed when he heard this, there are a total of twelve races, and there must be several high-value races in front of them to make fans more involved, of course, the most lucrative races are still the last three.

"Zhuang Rui'an replied, you are finally here, I don't understand what this person is saying......"

As soon as he walked to the stable, Zhuang Rui was pulled by Timur, and there was a staff member of the horse farm standing next to him, who was sweating profusely and communicating with Timur.

"Hehe, Timur replied, he called you out to play......"

Zhuang Rui smiled, whistled in his mouth, and Chasing Feng immediately trotted out of the stable and followed behind Zhuang Rui.

"Dude, it's all up to you this time, turn them all over, haha......"

Zhuang Rui doted on the neck of Chasing the Wind, looked at Timur and said, "Brother Timur, when you return to Inner Mongolia this time, you will at least be a millionaire......

"What kind of millionaire? Zhuang Rui'an replied, I'm doing my brother a favor, I don't want you to give money......

Timur was a little inexplicable by Zhuang Rui's words, he knew that Zhuang Rui was rich, but with his character, it was too inauthentic to help his brother race a horse and collect money.

"I'll talk about this later, let's go, it's too late to bear the load......"

Zhuang Rui didn't say much, and took Chasing Wind and Timur to the weighing place very close to the starting point, because they came late, there were several horses and people weighing in front.

"It's so ......"

When it was Timur's turn, the Mongolian man muttered in his mouth, in their Inner Mongolia, horse races are also held during the New Year's holidays, where are there so many rules, just ride it and win.

"Hey, you go down, what kind of mess, don't you see that we are busy?"

It's just that Timur didn't expect that as soon as he stood on the scale, he was driven down.
