Chapter 343: A Little Episode Before the Tournament (Part I)

At seven o'clock in the morning of May 16, Pepe hurriedly got up to freshen up and change clothes under the reminder of the alarm clock on his mobile phone.

After dressing up in a full Marseille attire, Pepe kissed her husband Austin goodbye for a while. Immediately after, she hurried out of the hotel room and rushed to the entrance of the hotel.

Her Marseille agent, Mr. Chatter Wilkes, was already waiting at the door of the hotel in his rented car.

As soon as Pepe got into the car, Charterer immediately activated the accelerator and led his female boss towards the racecourse.

Although the annual Kentucky Derby Grand Prix was held in Boston this year, the road from the hotel to the racetrack was still in good condition at half past seven in the morning. So, after only about a quarter of an hour's drive on the road, Charterer dropped his female boss to the medical centre inside the racecourse.

The staff of the physical examination center is on time at 8 o'clock, and Pepe can fill out a series of medical examination forms while waiting.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Pepe was taken by the staff of the physical examination center to do various pre-competition physical examinations.

This physical examination procedure is complicated, but it is not complicated at all, it is to take a blood test and a urine test or something. Therefore, in less than ten minutes, all the medical examination procedures have been completed.

Then start waiting

Under normal circumstances, it takes about half an hour to wait for these physical examination reports to come out.

But who called Pepe was the first to arrive at the medical examination center, and. At this time, there is no one else to do except Pepe.

Therefore, Pepe probably waited for about a quarter of an hour or so, and all the physical examination reports of the blood test and urine test were passed.

At this point, Pepe can finally catch her breath and find a place to solve her hungry belly problem first.

In the morning, in order to do a physical examination, she was driven out of the hotel with an empty stomach, so at this moment, her stomach was already "growling".

The official start time is not until nine o'clock, and. According to the schedule arranged by the organizer. In the first half hour of the race, there will be a variety of wonderful trick equestrian performances. It won't take place until after half past nine that the first official event will take place. So, at this point, Pepe can find a burger joint first. First of all, solve your breakfast problem.

After asking Charter, he took himself to a coffee shop near the racecourse and sat down. Pepe began to nibble on his sandwich and drink his coffee

While eating breakfast. She also asked Charterer about the status of the "Triple Crown" in the past two days.

Thomson and the "Triple Crown" arrived in Boston two nights earlier than she did, after two days of restorative training, according to Charter. The Triple Crown is in great form at the moment!

As he spoke, Charter also raised his eyebrows and told his boss about the current odds of the "Triple Crown".

As the Kentucky Draw Contest approaches, various newspapers and magazines in Laos, in order to increase the sales of newspapers, will generally set up a special section, and then invite some well-known Marseille analysts to make a series of rankings and odds analysis of all the popular champions and underdogs participating in this year's competition.

Since the Triple Crown made a big splash in the two-year-old race of the Breeders' Cup last October, there has been a high-profile racism appeal after the race by owner and rider Ms Per Lee Hercules. So Ms. Peer Lee Hercules and her mare, the Triple Crown mare with her eye-catching name, made a great impression on the minds of the organizers.

Moreover, the mare "Triple Crown" not only left a deep impression in the hearts of the organizers, but also left a deep impression in the hearts of all those who pay attention to horse racing, as the second most popular horse racing sport in the United States.

As a result, the so-called well-known Marseille analysts invited by these newspapers and magazines have mentioned the "Triple Crown" when they list all the popular winning horses and cold dream dark horses of this year's Kentucky Tappy Grand Prix.

The funny thing is that there is no name of "Triple Crown" in the list of popular champions, but in the ranking of unpopular dark horses, these professional Marseille analysts all rank the name of "Triple Crown" in the top three.

"Anyway, our 'treble' managed to finish in the top three in a slightly illusory Marseille leaderboard, didn't we?" After listening to Chatter's report, Pepe wiped his mouth with a smile and then drank the rest of the coffee in his cup in one gulp.

Then she looked up at her watch.

At this time, the pointer was approaching the official start time of nine o'clock, "Okay, the time is almost up, you can accompany me to the betting window to place a bet, and then we will go back to the racecourse to prepare." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Pepe and Chater came to the gate of the betting hall at the racetrack, and when they looked inside, wow! Dizzy, ~~~~~~

I saw that in the betting hall at this time, it was definitely crowded, full of people, and crowded!

Moreover, in front of every betting window and automatic betting machine, there is a long queue of people.

Upon discovering this, Pepe immediately retreated from the door of the betting hall and then took out her mobile phone to call her husband Austin.

Austin and his parents, Heckless Sr., should have arrived at the racetrack by this time, and, with their status and status, they must have been sitting in the VIP stands at this time.

Therefore, after Pepe contacted her husband Austin, she immediately rushed to Austin's side according to the number of the VIP stand location reported by Austin.

Then, with a move, the rich man called a staff member of the VIP stand to his side.

Then, the rich man took out his checkbook from the inside pocket of his jacket and waved it with a big stroke. A large check for 50 million was handed out.

The staff took the check and looked at it, his eyes were about to bulge, and while counting the string of zeros on the check, he looked at Pepe in front of him in surprise and asked, "Madam, are you sure that the amount you bet is 50 million US dollars?" ”

Shi Shiran, the rich man of Pei, replied with a smile: "Of course! Help me bet all on the Triple Crown, the number nine horse in the One and Eighth Mile Meadow Race! ”

Pepe had inquired before she came, and the amount of money her father-in-law Oliver Sr. had wagered on the "Triple Crown" this time was quite large! The so-called shrewd old Oliver did not hesitate to take out 10 million US dollars to bet on the first game of the "Triple Crown".

Moreover, even her husband, Austin, is full of confidence in the future of the "Triple Crown" at the Kentucky Beat Competition.

Austin's donation to the Wenchuan earthquake incident was only $10 million. But for the first race of the "Triple Crown". This guy didn't hesitate to take out an amount of 20 million to win the "Triple Crown"! Tsk tsk

Also, even Dad Li, who is far away in Los Angeles, and Mr. Li from Xiaoquan Villa, although neither of them was at the scene, Pepe heard that they both used phones for remote command. A big bet was also made on the "Triple Crown" match!

Even. Even the old lady and the mother of the family. Including Pepe's friend Lilian and Lilian's boyfriend William, they did not hesitate to bet on the "Triple Crown" to win the championship in other gambling companies outside the court!

Other than that. Lilian's uncle, Uncle Mark, who had not yet arrived in Boston (the phone indicated that he would arrive in the afternoon), was also remotely commanded by phone and placed a supposedly tens of millions of dollars on the first match of the "Triple Crown"!

After hearing about these situations, she couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up, admiring these people's sharp eyes and crisp enough!

(Truth be told, if it weren't for the optimism of the "Triple Crown", this group of shrewd capitalists would not have made such a big bet!) οΌ‰

Then again, it is precisely because the family members of the rich man Pei are so "enthusiastic" to support the "Triple Crown" game, and because of this, the odds of the "Triple Crown" were lowered from 1 to 1.62 to 1 to 1.60 half a month before the start of the game!

I'm going to interject a digression here.

At last year's Breeders' Cup, the Triple Crown was raced in a two-year-old race. The two-year-old race is known as a breeding basket for all future champions who are trying to do well in future senior races, so every year a new batch of horses appears on the track.

Therefore, the "Triple Crown" at that time could be regarded as excellent on the track compared to the new horses of the same age!

However, when you put last year's Triple Crown underage results into the current senior races, you can only say "acceptable" or "you can look forward to it" when compared to the favourites.

A horse can be a decade old, and this year's event features some of the most prestigious champions from the past few years who have been named outstanding at the annual Kentucky Tarpy, Belgian and Belmont Grand Prix.

Compared to the favourites who have already proven their feats to Bo/Lottery enthusiasts across the United States on the Triple Crown circuit, the Triple Crown's performance in the two-year-old race at last year's Breeders Cup can of course only be described as "acceptable" or "expected".

Therefore, this is also the reason why the "Triple Crown" can mix in the ranking of unpopular dark horses, but not the ranking of popular winning horses.

It is precisely because the "Triple Crown" is mixed with the top three of the unpopular dark horse list, so the organizer will set the odds for the "Triple Crown" at this relatively reasonable odds ratio of 1 to 1.62 half a month before the official start of the competition.

Compared with the odds ratio of 1:1.3 or 1:1.2 offered by those popular champions, the current temporary reduction of 1:1.60 is not abrupt at all!

―――――――――――――― this is the dividing line that represents a return to the main topic――――――――――――――

The VIP stand staff began to sweat after receiving the huge check in his hand

According to the rules and regulations of the racecourse, he had no right to accept such a huge bet in the scope of his duties as a staff member.

So, the staff member immediately handed Pepe back the huge cheque in his hand, and then smiled and said that he would immediately notify the racecourse manager to come over and process her bet slip for Pepe.

When Pepe heard this, he was a little annoyed at the moment!

At the same time, she was still muttering to herself in her heart - don't be in trouble again, the organizers of the Kentucky Beat Jack are the same as the organizers of the Breeders Cup, and they will temporarily lower the odds of the "Triple Crown" again! (To be continued......)
