As soon as Lu Xiancheng's words came out, it spread throughout the entire horse playing circle in Gushan within a few days, not to mention Zhang Shuobing and Du Guohao, even some of the bosses who took the lead in setting up a ranch here knew about it.
The name of the barking knife then resounded in the horse playing circle, and everyone was looking at the horse that could get such praise from Lu Xiancheng, and how amazing it would be on the track.
Everyone forgot that Lu Xiancheng said that the horse's results may not be very good at the beginning, anyway, everyone has formed a blind obedience to Lu Xiancheng's favorite horse.
Early in the morning, the racecourse is lively, and today is also the first qualifying race for the opening of the new racecourse, because not only the racecourse usually undertakes the work of the racecourse, so the whole track is much longer than the first race at the racecourse, and the circumference is almost three times that of the ordinary racecourse.
The whole oval runway, a circle up nearly 6,000 meters, just three circles outside the three circles of the runway there are four or five kinds, from the outermost circle of the grass road, in turn to the inside is the mud road, the sand road, the sawdust road, in the woodchip road there is also a ramp built in the height difference of 30 meters, a total length of 500. There is a different training facility on the inside.
The whole track is now only built outside the four tracks, that is, grass and mud tracks, sand roads, and sawdust roads, sand roads and sawdust roads are mainly training, and the Gushan Race Course is mainly grass races and mud races.
What makes some people who have always watched free horse racing a little disappointed is that now they need tickets to see horse races, although the price is not high, the qualifying race is two yuan, and the Grand Prix is heard to cost five yuan, but after all, there is a world of difference between paying money and not paying money, and many complaints have reached the ears of Lu Xiancheng from time to time.
It's a pity that Lu Xiancheng and these people are not the same thing as Ben.
There is a group of people who don't need money to enter the racecourse, that is, the jockeys and trainers trained by the Gushan Jockey Club, these boys in their early teens and twenties have great enthusiasm for today's horse racing, not that these guys like to watch horse racing too much, but only the days of horse racing. They only have a day off.
Not only jockeys and trainers of the Jockey Club, but also trainers and jockeys trained by several stables are now receiving basic training at the vocational schools under the Gushan Jockey Club, among which is the lucky Gu Changhe.
Trainer and jockey, the two names sound quite exciting. It is also very strict to provoke people, more than 20 days of enrollment, not to mention Gushan County, children from several nearby counties and even Pinggu City have rushed over to participate in the interview, and thirty-eight jockeys have been selected among thousands of students. There are also fifty-three trainers.
The principal of the vocational school, an old man from the United States, also said that when he graduated in two years, he hoped that half of them would officially become contracted jockeys and trainers of the Gushan Jockey Club.
"The Long River! What do you think?"
As soon as Gu Changhe entered the racecourse, he looked at the straight grass road in front of him, the current grass road is much better than the original simple grass road, now this grass road is three times as wide as the original, and the length of the straight road is close to three thousand meters, the straight snow-white fence is in the line of sight into the distance, the white fence. The green and crisp grass, and then next to it is a brown dirt road, and then a layer of snow-white railings is a beige sand road, each road is also divided into different colors in shades, for example, the grass path is separated by two colors of dark green and tender green, forming a large straight strip about two meters wide on the grass road, and the whole track looks very beautiful.
As soon as he thought that he would ride his horse on such a track in the future, Gu Changhe's heart rose with an indescribable yearning.
Hearing someone call him, Gu Changhe turned around and found that it was his future colleague. He is also an employee of Pglinton Ranch, but he is a jockey himself, and he is a trainer.
The one who came was the tall man in the team during Gu Changhe's interview, and his name was Qiu Gang. Gu Changhe also just knew that this character was the surname, and when he didn't pronounce hatred, he didn't pronounce hatred, but the sound of the ball. Because of this, everyone in the same dormitory gave him a nickname called Black Ball. As for the small and thin Gu Changhe, he didn't have his turn to be nicknamed Skinny Monkey, who had always accompanied his growth.
Because as a student of the jockey class, there is no one who is not a thin monkey, even the instructors. Falling out of the nickname of the skinny monkey nest is a compliment. In the words of the instructor, if you are no longer a skinny monkey, it means that you are unemployed and the whole family is going hungry.
"It's nothing, it's just thinking that one day I'm going to compete here!" Gu Changhe said with a smile.
When Qiu Gang heard this, he said, "It's good here, but we have to get through the past two years first!" ”。
Gu Changhe smiled and didn't speak, for some people, two years is a hard time, but Gu Changhe thinks it's very good, because the school has food and housing, as well as clothes and hair, plus there is five hundred pocket money every month on the ranch, saving himself a mouth, the family is better, Gu Changhe is quite satisfied. In comparison, the hardships here are not hard at all.
Even if he sleeps in the stable at night, Gu Changhe doesn't care, because the stables here are better than his own house, not only are there air conditioning, but also the windows are bright and clean, and Gu Changhe has slept in an air-conditioned room for the first time in his life.
Qiu Gang didn't know that Gu Changhe thought that sleeping in the stable was more comfortable than at home, and he didn't like to sleep in the stable, because no matter how well it was cleaned, the stable was always a stable, and there would always be a strange smell of horse manure mixed with the smell of horse urine. But even though he didn't like it, Qiu Gang couldn't deny the fact that he had spent almost one-fifth of his nights in the stable since he entered school.
Just because his teacher said that if you want to understand horses, you have to eat and sleep with horses.
"Hey!" Qiu Gang sighed and said: "You guys are a little better, there is a wooden horse to ride, we have been in school for so long, we haven't learned, from the moment we wake up, we are shoveling horse manure, feeding forage, brushing horses, these hard work, and doing it all day, now more than 300 horses here rely on us more than 50 people, waiting for the work to be done, look up and see that the stars above the head have come out."
Qiu Gang's so-called riding a wooden horse is the kind of wooden horse frame used by the jockeys for training, which is as big as a real horse, but there are no horse legs, it has been almost a month since entering school, all the jockeys have brushed the horse and led the horse, but none of them have ridden a real horse, and all of a sudden everyone has become a half-old child and rode a wooden horse.
Nor is it a simple ride on a wooden horse. In fact, training is not as simple as an apprentice trainer like Qiu Gang thinks, think about squatting on the wooden horse for many hours a day, and now it is rare that his legs do not tremble. Even Gu Changhe is like this.
Because it is impossible to sit down during the whole training process, because speed racing does not say that between the saddle and stirrups will make you comfortable enough to straighten your legs, in the words of jockey apprentices, squatting on horseback like a monkey and standing up like a humanoid vaulting horse.
"But it's still quite stupid to see you riding a wooden horse," Qiu Gang remembered that he once saw Gu Changhe and a few people training. couldn't help laughing out loud, that scene really made people feel hilarious.
Think of two rows of lads riding on wooden horses, listening to the instructor shouting commands to enter the straight, ramp, overtake from the inside, and so on, and then a group of people riding funny wooden horses follow the command, meticulously doing the movements. Such a big boy riding a wooden horse, how funny it is.
Gu Changhe smiled and did not answer.
Qiu Gang asked again: "Hey, don't you think it's funny when you ride the wooden horse?" ”。
"I really don't think so!" Gu Changhe was in the spirit of twelve points every time he trained. Because he knows that every effort he puts in will be in his pocket in the form of cash in the foreseeable future. Five percent of the prize money of a race is the jockey's dividend award, whether you can ride a popular horse depends on your own skills, although he is a contracted jockey of Gushan Horse Farm, but Gu Changhe knows that if he does not show his strength, his boss will not let himself ride the top horse in the stable, and if he can't ride a top racing horse, it is impossible to win a big prize.
"You're quite serious" Qiu Gang said with a smile, not to mention the jockey class now, even the trainer class knows. Gu Changhe of the jockey class is a desperate San Lang on the training ground, and only he will ride a wooden horse in the training room alone after training to recall the lessons taught by the coach that day.
"It's like you're not serious!" Gu Changhe glanced at Qiu Gang and said.
Hearing this, Qiu Gang couldn't help but touch his head, and said a little embarrassed: "It's not as good as you!" ”。
Qiu Gang likes Ma and is willing to work hard. However, hard work does not mean working as hard as Gu Changhe.
As soon as the two of them chatted here, another voice came from behind them, and the voice was very low.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What's the matter?"
Qiu Gang and Gu Changhe both looked back and found that it was a 'little broadcast', and this guy was seventeen years old this year. He is the youngest in the trainer class and the most slippery, and his name is Zheng Liang.
Zheng Liang whispered: "I heard that the school is going to pick five people from each of the trainer class and the jockey class to watch this year's American Breeders' Cup!" ”。
For these apprentices, the Breeders' Cup, the Triple Crown of the United States, the Queen Anne Cup of Great Britain, the Arc de Triomphe and so on, their teachers have mentioned such world-famous thoroughbred races more than once, and these children have begun to yearn for their own training, or the horses they can drive to win the race, not only the prize money but also the honor for everyone.
"Where did you hear that?" Qiu Gang asked.
Zheng Liang said: "Don't ask about this, anyway, the top five in the rating!" ”。
As for Zheng Liang's words, both Qiu Gang and Gu Changhe felt that they were credible, because this kid's cousin was the middle management of the Jockey Club, and news like this was much faster than ordinary people.
Going to the United States to see the Breeder's Cup?!
Don't talk about Qiu Gang with such news, even Gu Changhe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. For these children, they can show off to others for a long time when they go to a pearl or the capital, not to mention taking a plane to the United States, and watching the world's largest thoroughbred race, where hundreds of world-class thoroughbred horses gather together in two days to compete for the championship of 13 races, which is countless times stronger than the current competition level here in the Gushan Jockey Club.
Top horses, million-dollar prize money, world-class trainers and jockeys will not let go of this feast if they have the opportunity. The lads have long regarded themselves as one of the trainers and jockeys, can they not yearn for it?
Just as the three of them were excited, the sound of light music came from the radio erected around the racecourse.
Two or three seconds after the music sounded, a nice male voice came out, speaking hoarse and a little excited.
"Good morning, everyone, welcome to today's qualifying, today is also the first time in the brand new horse race, to be honest, I have no reluctance to abandon the old race, because only in the new race, my voice can accompany everyone, the most important thing is that I can only have money when I broadcast! It's not easy for me to drag my family, okay to get to the point, welcome to Binshan Racecourse, I am the commentator Fang Zhi! ”。
The words of the commentary made everyone who had already entered the venue smile, thinking that this commentary was quite interesting.
"Let's stop talking nonsense, there are 10 races today, the first five races have 18 horses each, let's not mention the later races, let's talk about the first race first!"
After speaking, I heard two throat clearing voices on the radio: "The first game will start in ten minutes, and the first one will be the No. 1 Pearl Horse, flying and domineering!" This name is given, I hope its four legs are worthy of such an arrogant name, but in my opinion, this product is also the name of the arrogant a little, here Xiao Zhi has to mention that this guy is already the third time to participate, the best result is thirty-two, there is still a long way to go from the Gushan Cup, the second is our Gushan horse, from Mr. Heyu's new horse, the results Fang Zhi is not easy to say here, but I hope it can have a good result ......".
Although the commentary Fang Zhi said that it was the first time to explain, the effect was good, at least the audience in the venue did not feel that it was too noisy, but as the commentary deepened, they began to quickly comment on the horses that appeared in one or two sentences, which caused a lot of laughter from the audience.
"The last place, that is, the eighteenth racehorse, is our Gushan horse, the barking knife, this is not its first appearance, to be honest, the last two appearances are not very good, ten horses it ran once the fifth and the fourth, 108,000 miles away from the Gushan Cup competition, I have to mention that the owner of the horse Mr. Lu has high hopes for this horse, but if it only has this level, I private Jianyi Mr. Lu still took it back, kill and eat meat, this horse is not much faster than a pig!".
On the first day of the opening of the racecourse, the boss Lu Xiancheng was sprayed by his own employees? A group of people who came to see the horse race were stunned at first, and many people said: You really dare to say it, you want to get out, right?
Thinking about it in his head, the whole arena immediately erupted in the most enthusiastic laughter in the audience so far. (To be continued.) )
