Chapter 468: Horse Racing (1)
Forget it, no matter what you do so much, with such a good woman, you still have to cherish it, so I felt a burst of heat in my heart surging up again, and then covered it with a quilt.
As the so-called thunder and thunder, this guy has been making trouble all night, and he didn't go to bed until almost two o'clock in the morning, but fortunately Gao Fan was not at home, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
When he woke up in the morning, Gao Xi looked at Clement, who was still asleep, and suddenly remembered that the girl said that she still had work to do today, so she quickly put on music, hoping to wake Clement up with the help of music.
"What are you doing, Brother Xi, I'm so tired."
"Don't you have to go to work?"
"Ahh I almost forgot, what time is it? ”
"Well, it's eight o'clock."
"Oh no, I'm going to get busy at half past eight." When Clement got dressed, he began to complain: "It's all because you're so bad, you don't sleep well at night, and you toss and turn." ”
"Hehe, aren't you happy too?"
Gaucy took advantage of Clement's dress and makeup, fried an egg, warmed a glass of milk, and then sandwiched the egg with a slice of bread, just in time for Clement to get it all done.
Originally, if Clement had been on a regular make-up time, Clement might have been able to go out for an hour, but it was too late today, and it only took fifteen minutes from getting dressed to finishing the makeup.
"I'm not eating."
"Alright, let's eat in the car, I'll take you to work." Gossey shoved things to Clement, and then went out, increasing his speed all the way to the allowable range, and in less than ten minutes he sent Clement to the ground, and then went home and went back to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already ten o'clock, and this kind of day was really comfortable. Sleep when you want, wake up when you want, it's really much better than the previous tired and tired days, but then again, if you continue to fall like this, Gao Xi is really afraid that he will become a big fat man.
So I quickly got up, and after washing, I entered the space to play a set of punches, and practiced my aura for a while, but I was really hungry, so I came out and made a bowl of porridge for myself. Then I made my own burger and watched TV while eating it.
Gaucy wasn't interested in horse racing before, but now he has horses on the ranch, and he thinks about when his horses can run on the track, which feels like the sponsorship of F1, which is also an advertisement.
Now it's long past the era when the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and if you don't know how to advertise, it's a good thing. Sometimes it's hard to sell.
In California, horse racing is actually strictly a horse betting, and this kind of activity is estimated to have been seen in many Hong Kong movies and TV dramas, so I won't go into details.
After eating. He changed into clean clothes and threw the one he wore last night into the washing machine, this kind of washing machine sold by Lao Mei can only be used, you don't have to worry about it at all. Throw it in and it will be automatically cleaned, automatically spun dry, and then automatically dried. After it comes out, it is folded, and it is like assembly line work.
Sometimes I really have to admire Lao Mei's level of science and technology, although I don't want to admit it, but it's better than us.
After leaving the hotel, Gaucy drove straight to the racetrack in his rented car, he had seen an equestrian competition at Helena before, but it was not the same as this, it was a pure race of horse speed, speed and endurance of the horse.
And isn't it illegal to gamble in our country, although gambling is also illegal in California, betting on horses is an exception.
Sometimes Gao Xi wonders, what is the difference between the two? Isn't it all gambling?
However, I didn't know what to do, so I simply didn't want to, and I used the navigation system to find the location of the racecourse.
When I used to watch the "Conan" anime, it seemed that the racetrack was always full of people, and it felt like this thing was crazy, but after actually arriving at the racecourse, Gaucy found that there were basically few people near the betting station of the racetrack.
Just right, let's buy a horse for a small amount of money.
This betting shop, just a small house, the outside is painted green, and then there are some windows, originally Gao Xi was worried that he would be late to queue up, but looking at this, there should be no need to queue, he bought a batch of horses called "Black Rose".
Why?
No, I just bought it randomly, because I didn't buy much, I just invested a thousand dollars, and even if I made it, I couldn't make much, and I couldn't lose much if I lost.
After the bet was finished, Gao Xi followed the crowd to the racecourse, and at this time he found that there were gradually more people, but it was not the same as his impression, and his impression seemed to be whether it was a Hong Kong film or a Japanese anime, there was no need to check the ticket to enter the racecourse, and you could enter it casually, but there was a ticket check at the door.
In fact, this is Gao Xi doesn't understand the rules, TV series and anime are the first to act, not necessarily all, if you want to enter the racetrack, you don't need to buy a ticket, but you have to choose to bet, of course, you can do whatever you want, but it can't be less than seven dollars, because the cheapest bet slip is seven dollars.
He bought a $1,000 bill, so it would certainly not be a problem to get in.
In the store that sells things inside, Gao Xi bought a bottle of water, first stood there for a while, saw that there was a vacant seat, so he hurriedly sat down, his eyesight is better, plus this time it is winter, the sun is not very hot, but it is quite comfortable to stay in the sun, so Gao Xi even if he has a front seat and sat down, here is close to the track, you can see the state of the horses clearly, close to the impact.
Of course, there is also a flaw in this close seat, that is, you can't see the mountains and the whole racecourse clearly, which is a more depressing thing.
But it doesn't really matter, it's the atmosphere that we feel, after all, it's the first time you've been to this kind of place, and you can't expect to enjoy everything.
As in the TV series, on the inside of the road, there is a rectangular monitor, if you want to see the number of matches today, then you can find it, and the other larger monitor is the same as the picture in the live game, which is the live picture.
In fact, if you can see this, you can basically understand the current racing situation of each horse, and you don't have to deliberately look at the whole racecourse from God's perspective.
At this time, the game was ready to start, standing in the middle of the road, was a middle-aged man with a trumpet in his hand, with a beard, let's take it as a middle-aged person for the time being, anyway, to be honest, many people in the United States look like there is not much difference between twenty and forty years old, plus that beard, Gao Xi is not good at judging the age of these Westerners, and it is even more difficult at this time.
After the trumpet sounded, there was a horse being pulled out of the doorway at the end of the road, of course, not only the horse, but the horse race was actually more than the cooperation between the rider and the horse.
In order to make the horse faster, the rider is generally required to maintain a certain amount of weight, well, although it is not said that the lighter is better, but it must not be heavy, it must not exceed the required limit, otherwise, you have to lose weight, otherwise you will not be able to race.
The riders bent over, staring ahead, that focused look, so that Gao Xi couldn't help but get nervous, although I had seen the western equestrian competition before, but compared to this, there were many tricks, but the excitement was not necessarily the same, after all, the racing competition always makes people's hearts beat faster.
Before the race, the door of the starting bar is closed, when the door of the starting bar is opened, the rider will clamp the horse's belly, and the horse runs out as if it has taken off the reins.
Gao Xi was shocked by this shocking scene, and stood up and shouted at the audience.
People are like that, it's easy to be influenced by the atmosphere around you, and in a lively atmosphere, if you're not a person who hates being lively, then it's obviously best to follow along.
Naturally, Gao Xi shouted the number of the horse he bought and cheered it on.
To win or not to win, he was not interested at all, he wanted to feel this atmosphere, this atmosphere that he had never felt before.
There are also people next to them shouting the number of the horse they bet on, with a red face and a thick neck, not like they are racing horses, but as if they are competing with someone louder.
Because of the proximity to the track, once the horses went around the corner, Gosse could not see the current condition of each horse, and from his position, he could only see the buttocks of the horses behind him.
Fortunately, there is a big screen for live broadcasting, and through the big screen, he can see some of the things he wants to see.
It was a good feeling, and to his surprise, the black rose he had chosen was always in third place at the beginning, but the more he got to the end, it seemed to have more and more momentum, first overtaking the second horse, and then continuing to overtake in the corner, which was simply a deliberate irritation to the human heart.
Originally, Gao Xi didn't care too much about which horse won, but now he suddenly found that Black Rose actually had a hope of winning, do you think he can not be in a hurry?
However, the horse in the first place is not vegetarian, Black Rose chased for a long time and failed to catch up, the two horses almost threw the horse behind out of a horse position, and then when it was time to sprint, Black Rose and the horse in the first place were almost in the same head, and it was not clear to the naked eye who was the first to sprint successfully.
At that moment, Gao Xi hurriedly looked at the display screen, only to realize that Black Rose actually didn't run to the first place in the end.
This made him a little disappointed, but he looked at his bet slip carefully, and suddenly laughed again, it turned out that he didn't buy this race, the horse that he thought was the Black Rose, but it just looked more similar, because the number was the same, so it was confused.
Gao Xi couldn't help scratching his head, daring to feel that he was excited, or drink saliva to suppress the shock, it's really funny.
Looking at the other scolding or elated horse racers, Gao Xi felt that his mentality should be calmer. (To be continued.) )
