Looking at the back of Mr. Spring-Naismith who turned around angrily, Pepe snorted coldly, then turned his head and asked Fu Ya: "Aya, the next two agents, what time have you made an appointment?" ”

Fu Ya pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and replied: "At half past ten, the Jockey Club's professional agent: Gary Stern, also met at the door of the racecourse. If I can't get along with him, only the last agent, Mr. Chatter Wilkes, is left, and the third Mr. Wilkes is scheduled to meet at one o'clock in the afternoon, also at the racecourse. ”

Pepe nodded after hearing this, then turned to Thomson and ordered: "Let's go, I'll go to the training ground with you, the training time of the Triple Crown was almost delayed by the unknown agent just now." ”

After leading the Triple Crown winner to the training ground, Thomson began his normal training schedule.

At half past ten, Reese went to the door of the racetrack alone with her mobile phone at Pepe's suggestion to meet up with the professional agent named Gary Stern.

Under Pepe's prior care, Reese greeted Gary Stern at the door of the racetrack and took them directly to the training grounds.

The professional agent, Gary Stern, looked to be more than ten years older than the previous Mr. Naismith, with hair dyed black and shiny, and the age spots on his face were extremely noticeable when viewed closely.

Pepe frowned a little, this agent, who looks about sixty years old, may have a certain advantage in interpersonal relationships, but whether his energy is up to standard is a problem.

After a brief pleasantry, Pepe invited Mr. Stern to accompany him and observe Thomson's training for the Treble.

As soon as eleven o'clock arrived, it was time for the free training ground offered by the racecourse. Thomson led the Triple Crown winner out of the training ground and in front of Pepe.

Pepe greeted him and appeased the Triple Crown. She smiled and asked the professional agent next to her: "Mr. Stern, after the training process just now, I watched from the sidelines." I believe that you now have a specific assessment of the ability of the Treble, can you tell me in detail about your views on the Treble? ”

In the process of watching for nearly half an hour, Pepe had already handed a copy of the bloodline document of the Triple Crown to Gary Stern, who was looking through the pedigree information of the Triple Crown and observing the reaction of the Triple Crown on the field very carefully.

Hearing the owner ask him what he thinks, Gary closed the copy of the Triple Crown pedigree document in his hand and replied with a smile, "Miss Pell, if it weren't for the pedigree document clearly indicating the gender and age of your horse. I can't believe you're only two years old, oh yes, it's even a mare! Judging by my experience, your Triple Crown winner is a very good thoroughbred. But—"

- But! Pepe cursed inwardly.

Old Mr. Stern did not know what Pepe was doing, and he said, "But I am amazed why you have chosen such a name for this mare!" Before I make my final decision, I have a question that I would like you to answer honestly, Miss Pell, what is the reason why you want to give this mare such an eye-catching horse name as 'Triple Crown'? Is it to attract attention? Or is it because of your ultimate expectations for this mare? ”

Pepe hears this. A little relieved, as long as it wasn't disgusted that the Triple Crown was a mare.

She replied with a smile: "Of course, I chose such a name because I was full of confidence in the Triple Crown, and I hope that its future watch on the track will be the same as its name." Amazing results! ”

After listening to the answer, the old Mr. Stern bowed his head and was silent for a while, then he looked up at Pepe, smiled faintly, and said, "Hehe, Miss Pell, if you know the history of the Triple Crown horse racing in the United States, then you will know how unrealistic what you just said. The king of horses is there every year, and you, the mare, do have the potential to become the king of horses! But the Triple Crown winning horse has been in the history of American horse racing for nearly 100 years. But there were only eleven horses. The last horse in history to win the Triple Crown was named 'D'. Be aware of this distinction since then. It has been vacant for 29 years (see note). After D won the Triple Crown in 1978, no horse has ever won the 'Triple Crown', the top title in the history of horse racing. As for registering the horse's name as the 'Triple Crown', I have heard that many self-righteous rich people have done this, and after getting on the track, he didn't get the honor, but he won a lot of eyeballs! After being ridiculed by the media, these self-righteous rich people finally changed their names. So—"

At this point, old Stern paused, flicked his finger with a copy of the pedigree text in his hand, and then continued: "If Miss Pell wants to entrust me to be the Marseille agent of this horse, I must make a precondition to you, that is, to change the name of this mare, whatever you want, as long as you don't wear such a swaggering and ridiculous name!" ”

After saying that, Old Stern looked at Pepe with a smile, waiting for the young owner's answer.

- Self-righteousness! Eye-catching! Swagger! Laugh at it! Just because my horse's name is "Triple Crown", this old Stern has used so many derogatory words to describe it! Napoleon said: a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier! What's wrong with the name "Triple Crown"! Hum! A thoroughbred who doesn't want to win the Triple Crown is not a good horse! Pepe muttered in her heart.

"Mr. Stern, what if I don't want to change the name of my horse? Does that mean you won't accept my commission? Pepe couldn't help but ask lightly.

Old Stern smiled and handed the pedigree papers back to Pepe and replied, "I can't be a thoroughbred represented by Gary Stern with such a name that makes people laugh at it as soon as I get on the field, so I also have a horse in my hand that will also participate in this weekend's race, and I will stay in Philadelphia during this time, staying at the Best Western Ben Salim Hotel next to this racetrack." The room number is 1706, if you change your mind, you are welcome to come and sign a contract with me at any time. ”

After speaking. Old Stern saluted Pepe and turned away with a smile.

Pepe bit her lower lip and looked at the back of old Stern as he turned. Glancing at Reese next to her, she ordered, "Go and send this Mr. Stern!" ”

After seeing off the second Jockey Club agent, Pepe was unusually depressed.

Before, when the agent named Spring was sent away, Pepe didn't feel pity at all, because the other party didn't even look at the watch of the Triple Crown Champion during training, so he directly judged the gender of the Triple Crown, this kind of self-righteous agent. Give it to Pepe, and Pepe won't ask for it.

And now this Mr. Stern, in the process of watching the training of the Triple Crown, Pepe observed his expression very carefully at that time, and found that after the old Mr. Stern saw the watch of the Triple Crown, his eyes lit up obviously, and his face showed a heart-moved expression. Pepe thought at the time that this agent would definitely agree to become the Marseille agent of the treble without hesitation, but who would have thought that Pepe would still take it for granted. People are the expression of the Triple Crown, and they are also willing to become the Marseille agent of the Triple Crown. But there is such a precondition.

"Miss Pell, are you alright?" Thomson looked cautiously at the boss.

Pepe smiled faintly and replied, "It's okay." Let's get the Triple Crown back to the stables, anyway - there's another agent I haven't been in touch with in the afternoon. Maybe the last agent in the afternoon will be our triple crown winner! ”

"Bole? Who's this? Thomson cautiously confirmed.

So, on the way back to the stable, Fu Ya smiled and recounted the allusion of Bole to Thomson.

After lunch at the Western Hotel in Bensalem near the racecourse, at one o'clock in the afternoon, at the door of the racecourse, Pepe met the agreed third agent.

This agent is the youngest of the three agents interviewed today.

Charter-Wilkes, who is in his early thirties, wears a casual denim outfit with a relaxed and casual look.

After he shook Pepe's hand. With a hearty smile, "Hello, Miss Pell." If I knew that I was met by such a charming beauty, I would definitely come to see you in a regular outfit! Ha ha! ”

-- Looks. This guy is a bit informal! This was Pepe's first impression of him.

"Hello, Mr. Wilkes, before I take you to see my horses, I would like to ask you to look at the information about them." Pepe said as he took the paper clip containing the copy of the Triple Crown bloodline document from Fu Ya's hand and handed it to the Charter-Wilkes in front of him.

After Chatter took the clip, he glanced at it casually, and then said to Pepe with a smile: "In my opinion, these pedigree documents can only be regarded as a stepping stone to the track, and what really interests me is the table of the horses on the track." So, I want to take a look at your horse's watch on the track before I make a judgment! ”

Pepe glanced at his watch, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm afraid it's not right now!" If you want to see my horse's track schedule, it must be after two o'clock, and after two o'clock it is my horse's turn to go to the training ground for training. ”

Charter smiled and replied, "Well, let's go to the arena and watch a horse race to pass the time." ”

Pepe thought about it for a moment, and readily agreed to Chatter's suggestion.

At the Philadelphia Racetrack Park Casino, there are several small horse races every day. Locals, tourists, and gamblers alike can buy a bet on any race at the betting hall at the entrance of the racecourse, and then take the ticket stub to go straight to the racing stand to watch the race.

Pepe took his assistant and lawyer and followed the familiar Charter into the betting hall.

The place is full of people, and the first thing you see when you get started is a huge scrolling screen with the names and odds of each horse tumbling on it. The bottom of the scrolling screen is full of glass windows, and there is a long queue of people at the windows, all of whom are queuing up to place bets.

"It's not a weekend, why are so many people coming to bet on horses?" Pepe stammered.

"Hehe, Philadelphia people love to bet on horses! Miss Pell, come with me here, there's not a lot of people in line at this window! Chad patted Pepe on the shoulder, pointed to the shorter window of the human dragon, and then continued with a smile: "I heard that starting next year, this manual way of betting will be banned, and it will be completely replaced by automatic betting machines. ”

As he waited in line, Chartered kept looking up at the scrolling screen above the window, as if studying. At the same time, he also analyzed and suggested to Pepe from time to time.

After waiting in line for about five or six minutes, it was Pepe's turn and the others. Chad took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to the window: "One note of 'Little Innocence' is the first, one note of 'Little Innocence' is the second, one note of 'Swift Arrow' is the first, and then one bet of 'Swift Arrow' is second!" ”

In a few moments, Chater got the ticket stub for his bet, and then he smiled and asked Pepe, "Miss Pell, do you want to make the same bet as me?" I've done a lot of research on horse racing odds. ”

Pepe thought about it for a while, anyway, she didn't expect the victory or defeat of this event, just to pass the time, so she didn't hesitate to take out a ten-dollar bill, drip it into the betting window and said: "Two bets of 'shooting arrows' first." ”

After getting the ticket stub for the bet, Pepe pushed it open and gave up the window position to Fu Ya, Reese and lawyer Hashim.

The bet was only five dollars, and Fu Ya, Reese, and Hashim, like Pepe, didn't care much about winning or losing, so they all randomly chose a horse to bet on.

I walked into the racecourse with the ticket stub and sat down in a stand. After about seven or eight minutes, the horses on the track were in place, and then the voice of the narrator came over the radio.

After the narrator gave an introduction to the horses and riders, I saw a staff member walking to the side of the track with a small pistol and holding a small pistol to the sky. As soon as the staff member with a small pistol appeared, the stands gradually fell silent.

After waiting for about two minutes, and hearing only one shot, the gates of each track quickly opened, and twelve horses leaped out.

The opening table of this batch of "arrows" that Pepe bets on is good, and it has always been in the first echelon. After running about half the distance, the first echelon and the second echelon in the field gradually widened the distance, and "Arrow of Rapid Shooting" and "Little Pure Love" were still in the first echelon.

At this time, in the first echelon, there are only five horses competing for me. "Arrows of Rapid Shooting" ranked second, and "Little Innocence" ranked third.

When it came to the final stage, the five horses chased after me, and "Little Pure Love" came from behind, once leading as the first, but then was overtaken by another black horse named "Big Stomach King". At this time, the end is close at hand, and it seems that the champion will only be produced between "Little Pure Love" and "Big Stomach King". And Pepe's bet on the "swift arrow" has no follow-up, and has long been thrown off to the fourth position.

With the screams of everyone in the field, the champion was born!

It is the "big stomach king" who came from behind!

"Little Pure Love" ranked second, and "Shooting Arrow" later exerted its strength and finally chased back to the third position.

Cate laughed happily, flicked the stub in his hand, and smiled at Pepe: "Miss Pell, you wait a while, I'll go and redeem the huàn bet." ”

Ten minutes later, Chater returned.

Pepe asked him, "How much did you win?" ”

Charter replied with a smile: "The odds are 1 to 3.8, I won a bet, and the bet is on the second place, not much bet, just to get a good jackpot." ”

In the next game, although Pepe and several people did not bet, as long as they did not leave the stands, they could still continue to watch the game.

When it was about one fifty o'clock, Pepe got up and said to Chatter, "It's almost time, let's go, and take you to see my horse." (To be continued)
