Because this year is the 140th Kentucky Derby, both the organizers, the media and the public are quite important, and the scale of this year's event has also increased a lot.

In addition to the most impressive three-year-old thoroughbreds, there were many more marre races and various exhibition races than in previous years, and from the morning of May 3rd the whole Churchill Racecourse was a sea of joy.

In fact, the Kentucky Derby is not just a thrilling two-minute race, but a grand horse racing carnival that will plunge the whole of Louisville and the United States into a carnival for two days.

From the morning of the 3rd, the citizens of Louisville began to bring their families to Churchill Heights, where various rodeo shows, fancy equestrian shows, and of course, various food fairs were held.

Reporters from major media outlets and OB trucks drove into Churchill Heights, and while filming the carnival, reporters were also looking forward to filming some heavyweight guests at this time.

Of course, the number of journalists waiting at the airport and in the city's five-star hotels has not necessarily decreased, and the vast majority of guests will arrive in Louisville the day before the competition.

At noon today, a reporter photographed a junior couple with four children, six bodyguards and assistants appearing at the airport in a Gulfstream G550, and a sharp-eyed reporter recognized that this was Tom's private car.

Xiao Feng and Becky's friendship began at a charity dinner in New York in March, and the two met as if they were old friends, and Becky held a welcome dinner for Xiao Feng at his Beverly Hills villa. This time, in the opening match of Xiao Feng's 'Black Miracle' impact on the Triple Crown, Xiaobei's family was also quite popular, and the whole family mobilized.

Xiaobei's family also stayed at the Brown Hotel, and Xiao Feng had already chartered a presidential suite for their family that could accommodate their family of six. And a business suite was arranged for the entourage.

In addition, Audi also prepared the Audi A8 team for Xiaobei, who is also the spokesperson of Audi's image, and the whole process was extremely luxurious.

In addition to Xiaobei, the super-rich from China also opened the eyes of the American media, and the Gulfstream G550 and Bombardier Challenge 850 docked on the tarmac of Louisville International Airport, a total of 8 aircraft!

Brother Xiaoma, Li Yanhong, Ma Huateng, real estate tycoon Lin Jian, veteran tycoon Liu Yonghao, entertainment bigwig Wang Zhonglei brothers, international superstar Chen Long, Zhou Fa, Inspur founder Zhang Lang and other heavyweight guests appeared one after another, which immediately detonated the on-site media.

These people don't just have influence in China. Their every move has been the focus of the global media and the public, and it is surprising that they are now in Louisville.

For the audience in Huaxia, in addition to these big names, including the queen Wang Wen, Sister Na, Fan Binbin, members of the father group, etc., can attract their attention even more.

At this time, it is the peak period of Internet access in China at night, and more and more netizens are waiting in front of the computer to check the latest news of the Kentucky Derby.

This is also the first time that the Kentucky Derby has come into the eyes of the Chinese people. People who are not very familiar with horse racing are also stunned by the luxury of horse racing.

According to horse racing experts, once the 'Black Miracle' wins the Kentucky derby, its value will increase from the current $20 million to more than $100 million, which will be higher than the value of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

This comparison has given the Chinese people, who are more familiar with football, a clearer idea, and more interest in the Kentucky derby.

This year, the broadcast rights of the Kentucky Derby were obtained by Columbia Television Network, and it did not land in China, but there was no shortage of experts on the Internet, and soon posted a tutorial to watch the live broadcast on the Internet. It made many of Xiao Feng's fans quite happy.

At the same time, Inspur is also actively negotiating with the organizing committee and Xiao Feng's team. It was decided to broadcast the event live on Inspur.com and Xiao Feng's scarf, which is also a way to keep pace with the times.

All in all, the Kentucky Derby held far away in Louisville has never attracted any domestic media and public attention before, but this year, because of the participation of the 'Black Miracle', it quickly became the focus of the Chinese people. Especially in Xiangjiang, where horse racing is popular, a large number of horse racing enthusiasts have flocked to the website of the Bo.Cai organization. Place an order to buy 'Black Miracle' and win the championship.

Although it is an ultra-low odds of 5 to 2, people are still quite enthusiastic out of support for their compatriots.

…………

When Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao came to Churchill Racecourse, they were also taken aback by the crowded scene in front of them, which was in stark contrast to yesterday.

This afternoon. Thoroughbred owners come to the racecourse to participate in the draw ceremony and press conference organised by the organising committee.

Originally, Xiao Feng felt that Xu Mengyao's health was not very convenient, so he wanted her to stay in the hotel to rest, but she felt okay and didn't want to miss such an important moment, so she followed.

For this, Xiao Feng was admonished by the old people, including the eldest sister, for a while before going out, and even the two doctors who accompanied him also came over and stayed in the car to standby.

Seeing that the scene was overcrowded, Zhang Yi, the leader of the security team, was also a little nervous, and hurriedly arranged for the team members to be on guard in front and back, left and right to avoid the crowd from colliding with Xu Mengyao.

Zhang Yi was originally a major in the Cabinet Security Bureau, but due to some changes in his family and a large amount of cash, he had to choose to retire and be introduced by Xu Xiangjun to the 'Jinghu Group' as the head of the security department.

Now, with the operation of the security department on the right track, Zhang Yi spends more time staying by Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's side, responsible for the security of their family's travel.

In a sense, Xiao Feng also enjoyed the treatment of a national leader, with a master of the interior to escort him, of course, this can also be seen as the importance of the high-level of the Republic to Xiao Feng and the 'Jinghu Group'.

Fortunately, there was a certain separation railing on the road from the parking lot to the conference room of the lottery ceremony, and the impact of the carnival crowd was not too great, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao finally arrived at their destination without danger.

When Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao walked into the huge small auditorium, the staff, horse owners and media reporters present all turned their attention to them, after all, the first appearance of Chinese faces in the Kentucky derby lottery ceremony is always a bit novel.

What's more, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao responded back and forth. brought 4 bodyguards and two assistants, which surprised the people at the scene. However, everyone knows the identities of Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, so it is not surprising, compared to Xiao Feng's super high value, all the horse owners on the scene have a little bit of net worth.

After some procedures, the draw ceremony officially began. Xiao Feng asked Xu Mengyao to go up and smoke, and he just sat under the stage and waited.

Xu Mengyao's luck is not bad, she drew the No. 11 in the middle, although it is not the No. 1 closest to the inner road, but it is not too biased, with the ability of the 'Black Miracle', there is naturally no problem.

At the scene, Xiao Feng and his wife routinely answered questions from some media reporters, of course, all of them were relatively official answers. There will be no blind reporters who talk about factors such as race and skin color, after all, everyone should pay attention to this kind of occasion.

However, Xiao Feng's strong confidence in the 'Black Miracle' also made the reporter very interested, especially the faces of the other horse owners around him like the bottom of the pot, which formed a stark contrast with the appearance of Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's fairy couple, which made the Inspur network reporters at the scene feel refreshed.

After the draw ceremony, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao entered the interior of the racecourse through a special passage to visit Chen Yang and the 'Black Miracle', who were actively preparing for the race.

Because of the previous excellent record as a foreshadowing, the imminent battle did not make Chen Yang too nervous. It can be said that the conquest in the past two months has made Chen Yang mature a lot.

There is nothing wrong with seeing Chen Yang. Xiao Feng didn't talk to him much about the competition, but talked about waiting until the end of the three major competitions, giving him a vacation to go home, and if possible, taking his parents to the 'Dream Ranch' for a while.

When Xiao Feng and Chen Yang were walking along the path of the racecourse, Xu Mengyao was hugging the 'Black Miracle' and whispering something, regardless of whether it understood it or not. Xu Mengyao was very interested.

Since the 'Black Miracle' came to the 'Dream Ranch', it has been regarded as a member of the Xiao family, and Xu Mengyao has not seen it during this time, so naturally she misses it very much.

Towards evening, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao left Churchill Heights. Return to Hotel Brown.

Because there were too many friends who came to cheer this time, and the time was too rushed, Xiao Feng did not set up a banquet to entertain everyone, but said to everyone that when the 'Dream Restaurant' opened in June, everyone would get together!

…………

After a night of silence, when he got up the next day and opened the curtains, Xiao Feng suddenly felt that the entire Louisville was plunged into a sea of fever, and countless flags and horse racing photos filled the streets and alleys.

According to previous years, nearly 200,000 people gather in Churchill Heights on race day for the annual Horse Racing Carnival, the city's biggest festival of the year.

In addition to the in-person audience, government agencies, businesses, and schools in Louisville also have a holiday on this day, allowing people to stay home and watch the live broadcast.

It can be said that the annual Kentucky Derby has become a business card of Louisville!

Because the 'Black Miracle' competition was in the afternoon, Xiao Feng had to take care of the old and young in the family, so he could only take the large army to set off after lunch.

As for the others, they had already gotten up for breakfast, and the energetic ones were ready to spend the whole day in Churchill Heights.

So, when eating lunch, only Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao accompanied their grandparents, plus the parents of both sides, as for the two dolls, they had already followed Xiaobei's family.

Xiao Qi is only one year older than Yu'er, and the two friends are very able to play together, as for the three sons of Xiaobei's family, they are all much older than Nini, but they take care of Nini as a younger sister.

Children who play well don't care if their parents are around, besides, a group of young people such as Xiao Xiao, Lin Dubian, Liu Su and Xiao Qiang are also staying with Xiaobei's family, and Xiao Feng doesn't have to worry.

The other guests were also freely arranged, Xiao Feng specially invited Liu Yonghao and his wife Li Wei to the restaurant to dine together, for this senior who was over sixty years old, Xiao Feng was full of slow respect.

Originally, Xiao Feng thought that Liu Su would come to the United States to cheer for the 'Black Miracle', after all, she usually had the most contact with Xu Mengyao, and she was most interested in the 'Black Miracle'.

But Xiao Feng didn't expect that Liu Yonghao, who was already 63 years old, would come to the scene with his wife, which made Xiao Feng a little scared and quite moved.

Of course, Liu Yong can come to the United States, and the happiest thing is Xu Xiangnan, after all, the opportunity for old friends to meet is getting fewer and fewer, and the two have a lot of common topics, especially recalling the enthusiasm for entrepreneurship back then, both of them seem to have become younger.

30 years ago, Xu Xiangnan served as the county magistrate in a county under the jurisdiction of Rongcheng, and the Liu Group also developed under his rule, and the friendship between the two was formed at that time. Nowadays, the 'Jinghu Group' and the 'Shuguang Group' also have multi-level cooperation, and the relationship between the two families has become deeper.

After lunch, Xiao Feng and his entourage boarded the luxury convoy prepared by Audi and went to Churchill Racecourse, and the strong horse racing atmosphere along the way was also an eye-opener for everyone.

Because there is a tourism development industry within the group, Xiao Feng is also quite interested in the special tourism in various places, and Louisville has a global reputation with the help of the Kentucky Derby, which has considerable reference significance for the 'Jinghu Group' and 'Ginkgo New Area'.

In fact, the combination of the sports industry and the tourism industry can burst out the power of '1+1>2', Xiao Feng is now considering speeding up the pace of entering the sports industry, and maybe 'Brilliant Travel Agency' will become a new profit growth point for 'Jinghu Group' in the future.

If the 'Mirror Lake Group' has a Premier League club and an NBA team, it can launch corresponding tourist routes in some key games and holidays every year, which should be able to beat most of the international competitors and get enough customers.

In the process of Xiao Feng's thinking, the convoy has arrived at Churchill Heights very smoothly, although the whole city is carnival today, but it is only less than 10 minutes away, and there will not be too much trouble.

Just arrived outside the racecourse, the shouts and cheers of more than 100,000 people immediately startled my grandparents, and the old man said with a smile: "I didn't expect the competition to be so lively, I should have come over in the morning to watch!"

Xiao Feng and the others had VIP tickets, and soon the staff of the racecourse came to guide them into the VIP audience of the racecourse, which was also the area where the 'Black Miracle' family and friend group was concentrated this time, and most of the other celebrities, entertainment stars, and super-rich people also watched the game here.

This location is the closest to the track, and as soon as you look up, you can see the world's largest 4K ultra-clear LED screen that was just installed this year, which is naturally the highest enjoyment.

Of course, for journalists, this area is also a key target, because there are often heavyweights who can be on the cover! (To be continued......

PS: PS: In the new week, ask the folks for monthly passes, ask for recommendation tickets! There are only 4 monthly passes on the 11th, so pitiful!
