Five of the best thoroughbreds in the world, three of which are at Kumo Racecourse, is its place in the industry.
If you had to choose one of the best thoroughbreds in history, more than eighty percent of trainers would choose "Northern Dancers". This thoroughbred is a stallion, Mullet, born in Canada in 1961 and died in 1990 at Kumo Racecourse.
This is not a typical good thoroughbred, relatively short, about 158 centimeters, and was auctioned at the age of one year for a reserve price of $25,000, but no one cared about it, resulting in a failed auction. Because of his terrible temper, he was almost gelding. Who would have thought that he would later shine on the field, sweeping thousands of troops, and in 1964, in the United States Triple Crown, he lost the last hurdle and failed to complete his mission, but he still became the Canadian champion of the year by virtue of his previous accumulation.
However, compared to other accomplished thoroughbreds, the Northern Dancer is not the best, what really makes this horse famous is his breeding ability, there is no doubt that he is the most successful breeder of the twentieth century, he is also one of the most influential breeders in the history of thoroughbreds, and the influence of his pedigree has spread to the whole world through his descendants, according to conservative statistics, more than half of all thoroughbred horses now contain his pedigree.
This is a remarkable achievement, and since 1994 the winner of every Arc de Triomphe competition in French horse racing has had a father of a northern dancer, and since Nigensky, son of a northern dancer, won the British Triple Crown in 1970, the cost of breeding for northern dancers has skyrocketed, rising to a million dollars in the 1980s.
In 1983, at the Young Foal Auction in Kinileland, USA, Snafi Dancer, another son of the Northern Dancer, was bought by Sheikh Mohammed, Sheikh Mohammed, Ruler of Dubai, for $10.2 million, the first horse in history to exceed $10 million at auction. However, it is ironic that the Sheikh never allowed the Snafi dancer to participate in any kind of horse race, because it was too slow to show any kind of appearance, and it was also very poor in breeding, only four foals were obtained, and three of them were too ordinary.
In 2002, again at the Geneland auction, a mare sold for $10.5 million, setting a new record for a mare at public auction. This mare, the granddaughter of a dancer from the North, won the auction...... Or Sheikh Mohammed.
Of course, the children and grandchildren of northern dancers can be found all over the world, but not every horse is a good horse.
Now in the United States, there are more than a dozen great-grandchildren of Northern dancers, each of whom has a breeding fee of half a million dollars, and one of them, a horse called Green Monkey, which is the great-grandson of a northern dancer, set the highest world record at auction, which is 16 million dollars.
However, the Green Monkey's results were very bad, and his best result was only third, and practice proved that he was basically a waste of firewood. Later, he retired as a breeder/horse, but the breeding fee was only 5,000 dollars.
The dancer of the North, the horse that rewrote the history of thoroughbreds, has bred children all over the world. His final destination was Kumo Racecourse, where he was laid to rest.
In addition to Northern dancers, the highest jackpot cigar in American history, as well as Danshan, known as the "shuttle thoroughbred stallion", are all from Kumo Racecourse.
Nestled in the remote mountains of south-west Ireland, this horse farm has a history that is undeniable.
Of course, just because our ancestors have been in the trenches does not mean that they are still glorious now, and the Japanese Shodai Horse Society, the Chudwan Horse Farm in the United Arab Emirates, the Dalí Ranch in the United Kingdom, and some horse farms in Australia and New Zealand have all come to the fore and written their own history. In the fierce competition, Kumo Racecourse barely retains the name of a first-class horse farm, but in terms of financial resources, it can no longer compete with the Middle Eastern tycoons.
Despite this, Kumo Horse Farm is still an irreplaceable mecca for true professional horse trainers.
Brandon originally thought that he could keep enough composure, at least not to be embarrassed like Tony, but when he saw Daniel Sangst, his body was completely stiff, he could hardly make a sound, he looked at each other with round eyes, and then watched Daniel shake hands with Lu Li and Tony respectively, and when it was his turn, he could only shake hands quickly, speechless, and his brain completely crashed.
Under Richard's guidance, Daniel and Lu Li walked side by side in front, Tony lagged behind, and looked at Brandon with a narrow smile, "Haha, shame on you." It's just a breeder who scares you like this. ”
"It's just a breeder, but! it's a breeder!" Brandon's cannibalistic look made Tony stunned.
Daniel Sangerst is one of the most famous breeders in the whole of the UK and has a top reputation even around the world. He has bred countless top horses, and he is currently the holder of the highest auction mare auction record. He is not only skilled, but also has a wealth of professional knowledge, and is definitely the elite of the elite, and the disciples he has taught are all over the world, and the real peach and plum are all over the world.
When Daniel showed up at Cuomore Racecourse, it was as if Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal met Phil Jackson.
But Tony said, "It's just a breeder?" Brandon was already angry, but his chaotic brain couldn't effectively organize his thoughts, and after choking on two sentences, he just said fiercely, "Think about it, Fourteen, how did you feel when Romanée Conti was just a winery?
Tony didn't expect Brandon to react so much, so he could only obediently close his mouth and sneak a glance at Brandon, and then he saw Brandon's pious and focused expression, and his steps couldn't help but become brisk - it was him last time, and now it's Brandon's turn, and the feng shui takes turns.
Brandon raised his head and looked at the Kumo Racecourse, the handsome mountains stretched in the far end of the sight, and the wide grassland stretched out from under his feet, clean and bright, and then he saw a horse galloping away, bringing up a green wave, and the whistling wind stretched back mightily under the horse's hooves, like an oriental ink painting, swaying freely and magnificently.
This is his holy place.
“…… My companion couldn't react at this point, otherwise I think he would have been more than willing to come and talk to you. It's inevitable for a layman like me to make some common-sense mistakes. Lu Li said with a smile, which made Daniel smile.
"Nick said you were a very funny guy and it was always a pleasure to talk to. I finally feel it now. Daniel replied with interest.
"Oh, so the person Nick asked me to contact is you?" Lu Li was a little surprised, Nick just gave him a business card as an admission ticket, but he didn't say the specific receptionist of the other party, but he didn't expect that it was Daniel. "I thought he was going to arrange a woman, we had a deal before. ”
Looking at the look of suffocation and annoyance on Lu Li's face, Daniel laughed out loud, he was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with gray temples, a slight wrinkle on his forehead, and an elegant aura between his eyebrows, he looked more like a scholar, and there was really a gap between him and the imaginary horse breeder. However, Lu Li's understanding of horse breeders is very limited, and the rigid impression is naturally inaccurate.
"There will be, there will be. I personally suggest that in a moment you can suggest to our horse farm owner that two female receptionists be arranged. The opinions of the guests are always more valid than I am. Daniel said absurdly and uninhibited words seriously, which really made people laugh, "How did you and Richard meet?"
"That's a long story. Lu Li looked at Richard, and both of them smiled, "But in summary, I wanted to try the dish of stargazing, but Richard refused to provide it, and at the same time, we had a dispute about Chinese/Chinese cuisine." ”
Richard burst out laughing, and Daniel immediately savored the ridicule and irony in his words, and laughed dumbly, "So, what drove you to Kummour Racecourse? You look too young as a horse ranch, and you don't look like a horse lover as a sightseer." ”
Daniel's ridicule makes people laugh.
"Are you always so direct with your guests? Lu Li said with a smile, but Daniel shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, with a calm expression, "I came here to breed, hoping to find a suitable breed/horse for my ranch." ”
Originally, Lu Li was going to try the temptation, but he didn't expect Daniel to get straight to the point when he came up. But if you think about it, it's not surprising that Kumo Horse Farm is still one of the top breeding farms, and there are countless ranches that come to the door every year to seek breeding, and they don't need such individual customers as Lu Li. This is the same as that of Romanée Conti.
Lu Li's directness surprised Daniel a little, "I thought you had come here to conduct an interview and write a special feature about craftsmen." ”
"What, would you like to be my interview subject?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said with interest.
Daniel smiled widely, "I'm a craftsman, at least that's how I define myself. I don't know, am I qualified?"
Lu Li frowned slightly, looked at Daniel in front of him seriously, and finally pursed the corners of his mouth and shrugged, "I thought that for you, this no longer makes any sense." As a craftsman, you've been recognised enough, and the place of a breeder in the UK has never been overlooked. Do you still care about my interview?"
