Lu Li could clearly capture the excitement and excitement in Brandon's eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Brandon was completely devoid of her usual restraint and restraint at this time, and elaborated endlessly, "A horse called Blue Flame, twenty years old this year, she is a very experienced mare, she has been bred fifteen times, twelve of them have become professional race horses, and the best result is three major championships. However, she is relatively old, and in the second half of her breeding years, the quality of all foals is declining. ”

"What is the peak breeding age of mares?" Lu Li interjected.

"The golden age is four to thirteen years old. Brandon replied quickly, "However, depending on the horse's health and constitution, it may continue until the age of eighteen to twenty-five." Blue Flame just finished producing a foal last year, and it can be seen that her abilities are still there. However, it is still unclear whether last year's foal will be a racehorse. ”

Lu Li nodded, in short, he was relatively older, but he had achieved good results.

She sold for about $50,000. Brandon could see Tony's jaw-dropping expression out of the corner of his eye.

In fact, Brandon himself is a little soft-mouthed, because in Cloud Ranch, the most expensive horse is only 6,000 dollars. When Lu Li was stationed at the Cloud Peak Ranch, he bought thirty-five horses in one go and spent 170,000 US dollars. Now take a look at the thoroughbred in front of you, the price is really one in the sky and one underground.

Brandon swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued, "The second horse is called Little Curly, he is nine years old this year, he has given birth four times before this, the first three horses have become professional racing horses, and the results are very good, he has been in the top three many times, and the third horse born the year before last, has very good qualifications, and has been favored by a professional rider." ”

At that time, the children born were not top-notch, but they had good qualifications and had the potential to be explored.

"The sale price was $140,000. After Brandon finished speaking, he coughed lightly twice, which made Lu Li laugh and nodded at Brandon, "Go on." ”

"The third is called Jasmine, and she is five years old, and she has only given birth once. He is only one year old, but he has excellent qualifications, and two professional riders have taken a fancy to him and competed for him. The price of Jasmine was $100,000. ”

Although Jasmine is the youngest and the child's performance is very good, everything is still in the beginning stage, she can't prove whether every birth situation is high-quality, and she can't be sure whether the excellence of the first child can be transformed into victory in the field, and now everything is just "strength on paper", so the price is between the blue flame and the little curly.

Just listening to Brandon's description, Lu Li can hear that this is carefully selected by Brandon, in short, it is cost-effective, not the best, but the most suitable for Yunding Ranch.

This is Kumo Horse Farm, how can it not be possible to select a top mare? But such an excellent and age-appropriate mare is itself worth a lot of money, and Kumo Horse Farm is bound to need them to stay and continue to breed, the price is naturally rising, even the little curly hair is 140,000 yuan, her child has not won the championship, so if the top one, the price will be ten times?

Lu Li felt that he didn't want to dig deeper, he was not a Middle Eastern tyrant after all.

These three horses have their own merits, Blue Flame is experienced and trustworthy, Little Curly is in the prime of life and has a stable production, and Jasmine is young and vigorous and has a promising future.

"You're the trainer of the ranch, which one will you choose?" Lu Li left the choice to Brandon.

Brandon immediately felt his palms start to sweat. A horse costs tens of thousands of dollars, this is just the price heard of by rumors, he is in Texas, the most expensive horse he has ever seen is only 15,000 dollars, put it here, can only buy a leg of the blue flame. Now, he has to make a choice, which is really exciting.

Taking a deep breath and taking another deep breath, Brandon calmed down again, "From a professional point of view, naturally the little curly hair is the most suitable. She has the highest price, and for good reason. ”

"But the reason why I chose these three mares is because they are all very suitable choices, even if Blue Flame, although she is a little older, she still has at least three or four horses left, and even if the quality has dropped a little bit to not be on the world stage, she is good enough in Texas. ”

Brandon summarized all the situations in a clear and coherent manner, and the following words did not continue, in fact, the meaning could not be more obvious: the decision was left to Lu Li, and he was allowed to complete the choice according to his financial situation.

Lu Li nodded in understanding, "You can talk to Daniel a little more and see if there are any other options for stallions." When he had said that, he got up again and stretched, "Aren't you going to go out for a walk? This is even wider than Cloud Peak Ranch. ”

"Of course!" Tony was the first to stand up and said excitedly, "I wanted to go to the racetrack just now, you know? There is a professional racetrack next to it, and Richard said that many horses will stay here until they are two years old, and professional athletes will choose to come here to train." So, the specifications of that racetrack are the same as the official races. ”

"I wanted to take a closer look at their stables. Brandon is also eager to try, "If we are really going to keep thoroughbreds, the stable on the ranch needs to be renovated and the supporting facilities need to keep up." You should know that thoroughbreds are more irritable and at the same time more delicate. ”

Lu Li spread out his hands and showed a helpless expression, "Yes, yes, first Pinot Noir, then a thoroughbred." Even Randy's organic farm takes good care of it. Why do I think that Cloud Peak Ranch is becoming more and more delicate now, is it that we will all have to serve them in the future?"

"Isn't it now?" Brandon's short and powerful rhetorical question made Lu Li stunned, and then nodded, "I can't refute it." ”

The three of them left the house and walked out again, saying goodbye to Tony and Brandon, and Lu Li walked towards the main house of the horse farm, and found Richard without incident.

"Fourteen, is there anything I can do to help you?" Richard took the initiative to greet him, "and now it's a while before dinner, and I can show you around the horse farm if you'd like." It's just that it's not a tourist attraction, and there's nothing special to see. ”

"If you're not busy, that's great. Lu Li was not polite and politely expressed his will.

Richard walked over to Lu Li's side, and then made an inviting gesture, "Many things in the horse farm have been passed down from the past. You know, Ireland, like the UK, we always like to have some old stuff. ”

"It's like the old walls of Fissad. Lu Li immediately understood.

Richard nodded in the affirmative, "Yes, like the old city walls." So, is the main work going well today?" Richard could see that although Lu Li's eyes were looking around, his attention was not on it at all, so he took the opportunity to ask.

"Did you see through it? I came here to ask for your opinion. Lu Li didn't twist, and said openly.

Although he has known Richard for a short time, Lu Li can feel Richard's sincerity, compared to Brandon, Richard is a snake on the ground, and he must be more familiar with the situation here, so Lu Li decided to ask Richard's opinion.

After listening to Lu Li's detailed explanation of the three foals, Richard thought about it seriously, he didn't have the slightest understanding of Cloud Peak Ranch, and even more so about Lu Li, so he made a judgment completely based on his own specialty, "Jasmine, I will choose Jasmine." ”

The answer was unexpected, but it made sense.

"From a professional point of view, small curls are really the best choice. Richard expressed the same opinion as Brandon, "However, Jasmine's potential is greater, and she is younger and has more value to tap into in the future." It could be worse, but it could also be better, and if it were a discussion of development potential, she might have achieved more than a little curly. Of course, the premise is that it is properly raised and cared for. “

Richard smiled and went on to explain, "I've been here for almost a year, and Jasmine has really done really well among the mares between the ages of three and six. However, relatively speaking, jasmine is more temperamental than small curly hair, and it is more difficult to domesticate, which puts forward higher requirements for horse breeders and horse trainers, and still needs more professional learning. You've heard Daniel say it just now, so I don't need to explain it any further. ”

Sure enough, the professionals looked at it from a different angle, and Richard, as a staff member at the horse farm, knew some details that Brandon didn't know.

"If you have a lot of money, you can choose small curls, and I think jasmine is a better choice. Richard gave his opinion.

Lu Li thought about it seriously, and on the basis of Richard and Brandon's opinions, calculating the bonus of the space spring, then Jasmine is indeed a more cost-effective and forward-looking choice. After all, the reason why Cloud Peak Ranch bought a thoroughbred mare is that it hopes to seek a broader future.

"I understand, thank you. Lu Li sincerely thanked Richard, which made Richard laugh, "Don't thank me, this is one of my jobs." If my mother knew, she would have said, at least that's what I can do. ”

"No, there's something else you can do. Lu Li said with a smile, Richard showed a curious gaze, "Take me to visit Kumo Racecourse." Who knows, the next time I'll have a chance to come back here, when will it be. ”

Richard laughed heartily, and the deep voice shook Lu Li's ears, "No problem, of course no problem." ”
