Chapter 469: Horse Racing (2)
"I heard you bought a thousand dollars of black roses?"
Gaucy was sitting there bored, waiting for Black Rose to come out of the game, when suddenly someone shouted from behind, and Gaucy looked back and saw that it was an American cowboy in his forties.
Well, why is it a cowboy at a glance, mainly because of the clothes this person is wearing, and the special smell of grass on his body.
After spending a lot of time on the pasture, the smell is easily recognizable.
"I bought it, but how do you know?" Gao Xi was stunned for a moment, guessing that he might have been seen by someone when he was betting, so it reached this person's ears, but he wondered if he bought black roses or not, does this person need to know?
"Haha, because the Black Rose is my horse, I care about it very much, plus I just heard you call the name of the Black Rose, I guess you bought the Black Rose, as for why I know that you bought a thousand dollars, don't you have it on the bet slip?" The middle-aged man laughed and said, "By the way, young man, you are so optimistic about black roses, you bought a thousand dollars at once, I see that you are not particularly rich in this dress, right?" ”
The middle-aged cowboy sat down as he spoke, looking very interested in Gaucy, the man who was cheering him up.
Gao Xi didn't refuse, anyway, he was quite bored alone, so he smiled and said: "You are wrong, I am still the first time to enter the racetrack to watch the race, this bet on horses is also the first time, black rose I just think the name is good, so I bought it, well, although I am not very rich, but a thousand dollars can still be made." ”
"No wonder, I think you don't know much about things here, as if you see everything is fresh, it turns out that it's the first time you've come, I understand." The middle-aged cowboy nodded. It felt a little abrupt.
"Makes you smile, look at your outfit, uncle, you should be the rancher, the black rose was cultivated on your ranch?" Gao Xi couldn't help but ask, anyway, the game hasn't started at this time, and it's not a big problem to chat a few words.
"It's not. I'm a horse rancher, well, a horse breeder, and I breed this kind of racehorse. I smell a familiar smell from you, and if I'm not mistaken, you're not a tourist either, are you, are you? The middle-aged cowboy asked with a smile.
"Your vision is really poisonous, yes, it's true. I have my own ranch in Montana, and although I have mostly cattle, I have dozens of horses, and in addition to Quart, there are a few thoroughbreds. Gaucy said in surprise.
"It's not that I have a poisonous eye, it's that you're not the same as the Asians who travel, and you have a unique smell of grass, which you just need to smell to know. It doesn't take any eyesight at all. But it's rare to see people like you in the United States, and I've seen Asians buy land here. But most of them buy houses, or work for people, and very few of them really buy their own ranches. It's a blessing for you to be able to pick Black Rose, my Black Rose has won more than a dozen first places in the competition, and more importantly. She's only three years old this year and has a long career ahead of her, so I love this horse and thank you for supporting her. The middle-aged man said excitedly.
Hearing this man's words, Gao Xi was a little embarrassed. He bought black roses, he really didn't mean it, he just bought it casually, but who knew that it was actually known by this person, it seems that this may be called fate.
"I also have a pony named Arthur, who is very good, and I love it." Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Oh? Is it a thoroughbred? ”
"Sort of."
"Tsk, thoroughbreds are good, but thoroughbreds are mainly used for racing, if you use them on the ranch, it's better to use the American quart, it's not only cheap, but also practical, the thoroughbred is too expensive, it's okay to race, if it's used to work on the ranch, it's a bit too luxurious." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "My black rose is a thoroughbred, racing on the horse farm, it has always been a thoroughbred. ”
Gao Xi scratched his head and said: "I really don't know much about these, you know, I mainly raise cattle, and the beef in our Yellowstone Ranch is the best, but when it comes to horses, I'm not very good at it." I watched the race just now, and those horses were so powerful that they were like arrows off the string, and they flew out in an instant, and I didn't even have time to see how they started. ”
"Hahaha, that's right, these Marco are carefully trained, of course they are amazing. If you don't know how to raise horses, then you have to find a horse expert, especially thoroughbreds, that must be taken care of, not only expensive, but also to maintain well every day, the cost is also quite large, you have bought a car, the maintenance price difference between luxury cars and ordinary cars is too big. ”
"Is that an exaggeration? The thoroughbreds on my farm are all bred like the Quarter horses, so there seems to be no problem, huh? Gao Xi said with some disbelieving.
"God, you're just wasting the talent of a thoroughbred, you know, the average thoroughbred has to cost at least a hundred dollars a day, and if you want it to race, you have to have special meals and special care, at that time, I'm afraid five or six hundred dollars a day can't stop it. Did you see the bandages on the horses' feet during the race? ”
"See."
"Do you know how much that is?"
"Do you want money for that? Isn't it given away for free? ”
"It's beautiful to think about, and a bandage like that costs dozens of dollars. By the way, there is another thing, although this thoroughbred horse also has the ability to catch mosquitoes, but because of its thin skin, as long as it is bitten by mosquitoes, it will immediately grow a big bag. ”
"Huh? I don't think I've ever encountered this before. Gao Xi suddenly became embarrassed, although Arthur will also take care of it, but most of the time it is Tracy who takes care of it, so whether Tracy has done a lot of protection work, he really doesn't know.
"Are you a thoroughbred? Don't your horses swim? ”
"Hahaha, uncle, are you laughing, I've heard that dogs can swim, why can horses swim?" Gao Xi was provoked by this man's words and laughed, horse swimming, this was the first time he had heard of it.
"Young man, you can't do this, if this thoroughbred horse is to be trained well, you have to swim at least a few kilometers in the pool every day, are you the kind of boss who doesn't care about things at all?" The middle-aged cowboy asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I really let you say, I hired professionals to help me take care of cattle, sheep and horses, and I was responsible for dealing with people myself." Gao Xi said with a smile.
"I understand when you say that. In fact, it's okay if the boss doesn't understand, as long as there are people under him who understand. The middle-aged cowboy smiled, and this was the kind of person who suddenly realized, but he seemed to have misunderstood something, and regarded Gao Xi as the kind of person who relied on his parents' money to enjoy happiness in the United States.
Gao Xi didn't bother to explain, if he misunderstood, he misunderstood, and he didn't know this cowboy anyway.
"Hehe, I'm smiling at you."
"It's nothing, leave the things you don't understand to someone who knows how to do it, not only will it not delay things, but it will also improve efficiency, I not only have no opinion on your approach, but also support it. By the way, what is the name of the thoroughbred horse on your ranch, and which racecourse do you race at? The middle-aged cowboy didn't find fault with it, and seemed to agree with what Gossi is doing now.
"No, my thoroughbred was bought for fun, and if I really want to race, it will have to wait until later." Gaucy had originally wanted Arthur to race, and even dreamed of a championship, but now he changed his mind, because he found that the race was really a kind of destruction to the horse, and under that kind of high-intensity competition, Arthur would definitely not be happy if he could speak.
Of course, the idea of raising thoroughbred horses to participate in the competition has not changed, but in the future, I will not give thoroughbred horses wisdom elf powder, otherwise it will be too smart, and I really can't bear it.
"Well, if it's just for fun, it really doesn't need to be overly maintained. After all, you can't maintain a family car like a racing car, because it would cost too much money and be unnecessary. But if you really want your thoroughbred to race, then you have to take good care of it, and that's a kind of protection for the horse, you know? "The middle-aged cowboy is very talkative, perhaps because Gaucy is also a rancher, or because Gaucy speaks English better.
"I've heard that there is a horse racing competition in the United States, but I'm not familiar with it, how much money can I get if I win the championship?" Gao Xi asked casually.
"Since thoroughbreds need such good care, the prize money is naturally indispensable, there are currently three championship competitions in the United States, and the championship prize is more than five million, and it is said that because there are more and more spectators now, and more and more enthusiastic, so this prize is also ready to increase, young man, if you lack money to spend, you can try, but this championship is not easy to get." The middle-aged cowboy said with a smile.
Gao Xi nodded and said: "It's okay if the championship is not easy to win, I have confidence in my horse, in fact, uncle, you may not believe it, the quarthorse in my ranch can often win the championship in this kind of racecourse with a little training." ”
Gao Xi, who has the space of Zhuangguo, this self-confidence is still absolute, racing horses, in fact, may not necessarily be thoroughbreds, it depends on how you train, excellent Quarter horses have also won the championship many times.
Besides, with the space of Zhuangguo and the aura, Gao Xi felt that it would be easier for him to transform the quartema on his ranch.
If Gaucy really had to keep thoroughbreds to race, he would be the owner.
A horse owner is the owner of a horse.
Most of the winnings go to the owner. Horse ranches are also an important industry, breeding retired horses and selling them to the market for money. (To be continued.) )
