【Chapter 865】 Miracle Expedition (Subscription Requested!) )

As we enter March, the whole of America seems to have woken up from a long winter, and some sports events that are not suitable for outdoor events have resumed.

Among them, horse racing has become the most concerned event for people in the United States, as if they want to release the pent-up enthusiasm of a winter on the spring racecourse!

While the weather in Montana is still cold and the snow in the Rocky Mountains is still visible, the Black Miracle is also about to embark on its own journey to compete in the southern states of the United States.

For the 'Black Miracle', which is aiming for the Big Three and the Breeders' Cup, gaining experience and points in some of the lower divisions became a challenge for the next two months.

For this reason, Chen Yang and the operation team of 'Dream Racecourse' have designed a perfect course for it, as long as it runs well along the way, it will definitely have enough points to participate in the top classics in the future. In this regard, all the people at the 'Dream Racecourse' are full of confidence!

In the United States, more than 100,000 horse races are held every year, and the races of various levels are intricate, even if Xiao Feng has carefully studied the relevant information, he is still confused.

However, Xiao Feng only needs to know that the three major races and the Breeders' Cup are the top races in the American horse racing world, as long as he can participate and get good results, the 'Black Miracle' will have a pivotal position in the horse racing world!

…………

Early one morning in early March, the Black Miracle's convoy quietly set off, and no one knew what impact it would have on horse racing in the United States and around the world. It has even changed the landscape of the industry.

Even if Xiao Feng and the others knew that 'Black Miracle' had shown amazing talent in their usual training, no one could guarantee that it would be able to perform stably in official competitions?

There was no send-off crowd and no reporters' attention, only the Xiao family stood at the gate of the ranch and watched the huge convoy slowly leave. The glow of the tail lights disappeared from the road.

This time, Xiao Feng equipped the 'Black Miracle' with a luxury RV with air conditioning, soft hay and soft rubber to prevent collisions, and the equipment was as advanced as a human RV.

As a jockey, Chen Yang will be eating and living with Black Miracle to eliminate the tension of his first long journey as much as possible. Let it be able to get into game as quickly as possible.

In addition to an oversized motorhome, there is also a supply truck in the fleet loaded with forage and hay from Dream Ranch. The drinking water with the 'Space Spirit Spring' has also been pulled up to more than ten tons. In order to allow the 'Black Miracle' to enjoy exactly the same treatment as at home, 'Dream Ranch' will also contact logistics companies in the United States to supply a steady stream of forage and drinking water for the 'Black Miracle' on the expedition.

For this alone, Black Miracle's operating costs are much higher than that of a regular racehorse. But this is for Xiao Feng. That's not a problem.

In a sense, the 'Black Miracle' is more about the existence of the Xiao family's pets, big toys and mascots, and it is gratifying that it can bring good news at the racecourse, but if it is not, it does not prevent the Xiao family from loving it.

In addition to the RV and supply van, Black Miracle was accompanied by a veterinarian, a handyman, a trainer, a liaison assistant, and several drivers, making the team for Black Miracle more than 10 people!

In the history of horse racing in the United States and the world, there has never been a fledgling three-year-old horse that has had such a big fight. Predictably, when the 'Black Miracle' team appeared on the field. It will definitely attract media attention and wanton ridicule from peers.

From Montato to Texas, it's more than 1,700 miles (2,800 kilometers) in a straight line, almost across the north and south of the United States, and from the cold north to the subtropics.

Thanks to the well-developed highway network in the United States, the long journey of the convoy will not be too difficult, and the robbers will not be interested in these caravans transporting racehorses.

The only hidden danger is that the trip is more than 30 hours, and fatigue driving may cause some trouble for the team, so Xiao Feng has equipped each car with two drivers.

At the same time, in addition to the daily mobile phones, the team is also equipped with satellite phones, which can keep in touch with the ranch and the 'Nini'.

It can be said that in order to ensure the smooth departure of the 'Black Miracle', Xiao Feng can be said to have racked his brains and invested all possibilities!

…………

On the afternoon of the second day after the team's departure, the Black Miracle team arrived in Austin, and after the registration of the organizing committee, they began to rest and adjust, waiting for the race two days later.

Just when the 'Black Miracle' was ready, Xiao Feng's family also acted collectively, and they will take the 'Nini' to Austin to cheer for the first game of the 'Black Miracle'.

It's also quite magical, Austin is the place where Xiao Feng dug Chen Yang, and now Chen Yang's first game will be staged there, which undoubtedly brings enough drama. It's just that now that the 'Black Miracle' and Chen Yang are still unknown, reporters naturally won't notice these.

Once the 'Black Miracle' achieves good results in the future, all kinds of news and old news related to Chen Yang will become a hot topic in the media, and becoming famous will be just an ordinary thing.

In the United States, accomplished horses and jockeys have always been the darlings of the media, on a par with sports stars and entertainment superstars, who are heroes to American horse racing enthusiasts.

This time, Nini had to take a leave of absence to participate in the maiden event of the 'Black Miracle', and although Ms. O'Reilie was a little dissatisfied, she had no choice but to let go. However, while agreeing to Nini's leave, the kindergarten principal in charge still talked to Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao very seriously, hoping that they would try their best to avoid family life affecting Nini's curriculum at school.

Although Nini no longer needs to learn some relatively simple knowledge in kindergarten, O'Reilie still hopes that Nini can get along with her peers more, instead of pulling out seedlings to help her.

on this. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao could only nod yes, and promised to let Nini ask for less leave as much as possible in the future.

The first time my grandparents came to the United States, Xiao Feng also wanted to take advantage of the fact that they were still strong. Take a look around, or you won't have even fewer chances in the future.

I heard that the climate in Austin in March is similar to that of Changsha, and it is the season of spring flowers, so it is also a good choice to take a walk around the racecourse in the suburbs and enjoy the fierce horse racing.

Originally, the two old men were troublesome and didn't want to go out. But the begging of his grandson, son-in-law and children made the old man not continue to insist, and began to pack his bags and prepare to go.

Owning a private jet is naturally incredibly convenient. It was only a two-hour flight from 'Dream Airport' to Austin, and Xiao Feng's family arrived in Austin the afternoon before the race.

Austin is the capital of Texas and the educational center of Texas, and the semiconductor and computer industries are developing rapidly. Known as "SiliconHill".

Since the middle of the 20th century. Austin's semiconductor and computer industries are developing rapidly, coupled with the fact that the cost of housing is much lower than that of Silicon Valley, attracting a large number of high-tech talents and enterprises, and becoming a well-known high-tech center. The headquarters of the famous semiconductor giants Freescale and Dell are located, in addition, IBM, Apple, Google, Intel, Cisco, 3M, eBay and other companies also have branches in the local area.

Every year, nearly a billion dollars of electronic products depart from here and are exported to China. China was also one of Austin's largest trading partners.

Austin is known as the "Live Music Capital of the World" and is home to many renowned musicians, venues and events. The city has the highest per capita share of music venues in the United States. In addition, the city of Austin is home to a number of state-of-the-art theaters, museums, and other cultural facilities.

This time, the Berliner Philharmoniker will be holding a big concert in Austin, and the Xiao Feng family will be able to enjoy the atmosphere of high music before watching the 'Black Miracle' competition.

After dinner at the Four Seasons restaurant, Mom and Dad took their grandparents and baby Yu'er to wander around the nearby shopping street to buy some local specialties. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao took Nini, who was interested in music, to the concert hall in the Audi RV provided by the hotel.

Because of his role as an ambassador for Audi, Xiao Feng will use Audi brand cars as much as possible in some public places, although he may not be photographed by media reporters in Austin, Xiao Feng still sticks to his principles.

In the past, Xiao Feng also knew nothing about elegant music, at most he could know some works such as "Moonlight", but he didn't know anything about the various emotions expressed in it.

However, Xu Mengyao learned piano when she was a child, and even passed level 8 in the international piano exam, which is considered a little master. Under the influence of his wife, Xiao Feng has also listened to elegant music in his free time in the past two years, and his appreciation ability has also risen.

Although Xiao Feng and his wife may not necessarily ask Nini to take the road of music in the future, seeing that their daughter is interested, they will naturally try their best to be satisfied as parents.

Xu Mengyao has now begun to think about whether to hire a piano teacher for Nini and let her start to get in touch with basic piano education? Xu Mengyao herself knows a little, but she is worried that her half-baked level will mislead her daughter's understanding of feelings and music, and hopes to find a piano educator with solid basic research.

The concert was quite successful, and although Xiao Feng could not appreciate the artistic ability of each artist, it was undeniable that it was 'good'.

To Xiao Feng's surprise, Nini, who came to listen to the concert for the first time, did not have the slightest impatience, shaking her head, her small eyes radiating a bright light.

Xiao Feng and his wife glanced at each other, thinking that their daughter seemed to have a little feeling in this regard?

For Nini's future, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao have never imposed their will on her, after all, the little guy is a super genius above 150, as long as she likes it, the family will fully support her.

…………

There was nothing to say all night, although the luxury suites of the Four Seasons Hotel were expensive, Xiao Feng's family still lived quite comfortably, and the hotel's room service was also very good.

Now, when Xiao Feng's family travels, they basically take turns with several top hotels such as Hilton, Four Seasons and Kempinski, although the price is a little more expensive, but it is worth the money.

Especially in China, only these well-secured five-star hotels can guarantee the privacy of Xiao Feng's family and avoid harassment by reporters.

After enjoying a breakfast of steamed buns and seafood porridge full of pure Chinese flavor, Xiao Feng's family boarded the ultra-luxury nanny car provided by the hotel and went to the racecourse in the suburbs.

Texas is one of the representative places of American cowboy culture, although Austin has a developed industry, but the early cowboy culture is still deeply imprinted in the bones of the locals.

The driver who drove for Xiao Feng's family was a bearded middle-aged Texan, and he enthusiastically introduced some of the situation of today's race to Xiao Feng and others, as well as various famous attractions encountered along the way, which made Xiao Feng's family feel the hospitality of Texas.

Along the way, whether it is architecture or decoration, some elements of cowboy culture loom and become the characteristics of the city.

When he heard that Xiao Feng had a horse racing horse participating in the three-year-old thoroughbred 2000m race today, the bearded driver wished Xiao Feng good luck and said that he would go to buy a horse ticket to show his support!

After arriving at the racecourse, Xiao Feng's family was immediately infected by the lively scene in front of them, everyone wore cowboy hats, enthusiastically took pictures with unknown tourists, and laughed and laughed.

Xiao Feng was worried that the active Yu'er baby would get lost in the chaos, so he had to carry him on his shoulder, while Xu Mengyao held Nini's little hand tightly, and the family entered the racecourse in the crowd.

The racecourse is undoubtedly larger than a normal track and field, but the spectator seats and fences adjacent to the track all reveal the uniqueness of horse racing.

Xiao Feng's family, except for Xu Mengyao, came to the racecourse for the first time, and everyone became curious babies.

When she was studying in the United States, Xu Mengyao had also watched horse racing a few times, and she still remembered some of the details very clearly, and patiently explained them to several old people.

Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, Xue Fugui was quite happy, after all, in addition to large-scale sports meetings in China, whether it is football, basketball or other competitions, there will not be so many people.

Although it was only a Group 3 race, the enthusiasm of Austin racing enthusiasts had been pent-up for a whole winter and were looking for such an opportunity to vent.

After finding the location, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao took the children to a nearby sales point to buy popcorn, chips, cola, and beer (the racecourse does not sell spirits), etc., and the family came with the mood of enjoying the race, so naturally they couldn't treat themselves badly.

After settling down, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao contacted Chen Yang again, they were going to participate in the lottery ceremony held by the treatment, this was the first game of the 'Black Miracle', which was very memorable, and Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao naturally did not want to miss it.

In the future, in addition to the three major competitions and the Breeder's Cup, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao may not necessarily be free to come to the scene in person, and this time it can be regarded as an official appearance! (To be continued......)
