Chapter 153: The Triple Crown's First Runway Race (5)
For the next two days, Pepe's schedule was good. She went to the training ground in the morning to watch the Triple Crown winner's training schedule, and in the afternoon she spent the afternoon in the racetrack watching the horse races. Of course, you also have to buy a betting stub each time to use as a ticket. Hehe, but, she didn't hit any shot!
Two days passed quickly.
Early on Friday morning, Pepe set off from the hotel with two beautiful assistants to the Philadelphia Racetrack Park Casino. Oh yes, and by the way, Hashim, the lawyer who came with him, was sent back to Silicon Valley by Pepe the day after he finalized the broker contract.
In the morning, the Triple Crown winner will compete in the pre-points knockout round, where he will compete with horses from all over the United States for a place in the top 12 finals. For the knockout race in the morning, the Philadelphia Racetrack Park Casino still offered its own odds for each horse for the public to bet on.
Although the name "Triple Crown" will affect the calculation of odds by casino actuary, because the Triple Crown borrowed the training ground of the racecourse, it is equivalent to daily training under the noses of other casino staff. As you can imagine, the staff of the casino will of course report the daily watch of the Triple Crown. Therefore, the basic odds of the Triple Crown given by the casino actuary are not as outrageous as imagined, and the basic odds are 1 to 4.26.
As a small capitalist who is a fan of money, how could she let it go lightly when she saw such an obvious money-making business.
So this time, Pepe had a clear goal in the betting hall, and directly wrote a check for two million US dollars, betting on her beloved horse "Triple Crown" with a bet amount of 500,000 yuan each to run first in the four elimination races of 6 Lang, 1 mile of grass, 1 and 16 minutes and 1 mile, and 1 and 8 minutes and 1 mile!
If it weren't for the fear that a large amount of bets would trigger a change in the odds, and this was just a knockout game, otherwise, she might have bet tens of millions of bets in one go.
Fu Ya and Reese as assistants. It also gives the boss face, this time there is no need for the boss to say more, and he also bet on the triple crown out of his own pocket. The two men each paid $400. A $100 bet is placed on each playoff match.
Because of the large bet of $1 million, the staff of the racetrack also specially arranged a VIP stand position for Pepe according to the regulations.
Make the way with Franklin. The VIP grandstand is really closer to the track, even without binoculars, you can see it clearly!
The two-year-old points race of the Breeders' Cup is said to have more than 100 horses from all over the United States. The knockout rounds began at 9 a.m. and there were 12 horses in each round, so it wasn't until the fourth race that it was finally the Triple Crown's turn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the fourth knockout round will be held next. You can see that. The cute foals, led by their respective riders, have all entered the field. The announcer's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Horse One, it's from South Dakota, it's called 'Dark Visitors', and the rider is Dave Bird, let's give them a round of applause!" The narrator's introduction begins with Horse No. 1.
After introducing the No. 1 horse, the narrator continued to introduce the spectators in the stands with a deep tone of basic information about each of the horses and their riders.
"Horse No. 2, 'Alien', from"
"Horse Three,"
The Triple Crown is in seventh place. After the basic information of the first six horses, it was the turn of the next person to introduce the Triple Crown.
Really. When the narrator introduced the Triple Crown, his tone was extremely sarcastic: "The next thing to introduce is the number seven horse, haha, please allow me to laugh for a while, because the name of this horse is so ridiculous!" Hehehehe, the number seven horse from Montana, is called 'Triple Crown'! Ahem, your ears heard you right! It's called the 'Triple Crown'! Hehehehe, I guess - when its owner gave it this name, it must have just taken drugs! Okay, no more nonsense, rider number seven. Thomson Ewing, welcome them! ”
When the narrator announces the name of the Triple Crown. There was a flurry of boos around Pepe, and she turned her head to look around. The faces of the spectators in the stands were invariably marked with mockery.
"Humph! Wait-speak-louder-than-words! (Facts speak louder than words)" Pepe turned his head back in indignation and cast his gaze back on the track.
After the narrator had introduced all the 12 horses, all the horses began to prepare for the start.
Then, the staff raised their small pistols and prepared to fire -
"Bang-"
At the same time as the shots rang out, the gates opened, and the twelve horses leaped out, but in a few breaths, the distance between the first echelon and the horses behind gradually widened.
The Triple Crown was far ahead from the start and was in first place.
Even so, the commentator was clearly not optimistic about the Triple Crown's watch, and he continued to broadcast the situation on the field in a mocking tone: "Look, the Triple Crown is currently in first place, and 'Alien' is close behind!" Come on, 'Opposite Sex'! Hurry up and overtake the clown called 'Triple Crown'! Come on uh – well, the Triple Crown is running faster and faster, leading the way, and is currently a full three positions ahead! It looks like it's a secure ticket to the one-mile grass final. ”
A mile is a short distance, and the time for the narrator to laugh at the Triple Crown is extremely short, and in less than a minute, the end is just around the corner. The Triple Crown took the lead, crossed the finish line first, and led the second "opposite sex" by three half-sizes, and slapped the narrator hard with his actions.
When the Triple Crown crossed the finish line, Reese shouted excitedly, turned around and hugged Fu Ya beside her. "Let me do the math, haha, just now, the Triple Crown helped me win $326!"
Pepe gave Reese a smug look, and then flicked the bet slip in his hand.
After Fu Ya broke free from Reese's bear hug, she leaned sideways and asked the boss, "Do you want to redeem the huàn bonus now?" ”
"No hurry! There are still three knockout matches! After all the triple crowns have been won, let's go and redeem the huàn prize together! Pepe folded the bet in his hand and put it in his pocket.
At this time, Pepe's mobile phone vibrate, and she took out her mobile phone to see that it was a call from Uncle Mark.
As soon as she pressed the call button, Mark Quinn's laughter came from the other end of the mic: "Hey, little Peel, I seem to hear the sound of the arena." Has the official competition begun? ”
"No, it's a knockout round and it's time for the official competition in the afternoon. How? Are you going to come and watch? Pepe asked with a smile.
"Of course! Pell Jr.'s thoroughbred is on the track for the first time, so how can Uncle Mark not come and cheer? I've just gotten on the plane right now, arriving in Philadelphia at about half-past eleven. You don't have to pick me up, I'll go straight to the racetrack. I'll call you when I get there! Oh yes, and I brought a friend you know with me to watch the game, are you welcome? Mark said with a smile.
"I know that too? Who is it? Pepe asked, confused.
"Okay, no more ado, you'll know when we meet! The plane is about to take off, I'm going to hang up the phone, let's talk when we meet. Mark let out a haha and hung up.
After pondering for a moment, Pepe put his phone back in his bag and returned his attention to the track.
Sure enough, in the next three knockout matches, the Triple Crown lived up to expectations and won the first place.
According to the odds of 1 to 4.26 in the opening game, the bet on these four knockout games alone won a large amount of money for Pepe. Excluding the racecourse's 2% commission (see note), the $6,520,000 stake was $6,389,600. Even Fu Ya and Reese followed suit, and each won nearly $1,200 each.
Not long after the morning elimination round, Pepe received a call from Uncle Mark, who said that he had arrived at the Best Western Hotel in Bensalem with his friends and was handling the che at the counter.
Lord Pei, who was in a good mood, hurriedly said that she would entertain Uncle Mark and the friend he had brought with him, who had come from afar to cheer her on.
After hanging up the phone, Pepe thought about it for a while and decided not to bring two beautiful assistants to the appointment with him, but Thomson, who was the rider, and Chatter, the agent who was introduced to Mark, could bring them to the appointment together. So, after she sent Fu Ya and Reese away, she called Thomson and Charterer to lunch, and agreed to meet in the lobby of the Best Western Hotel in Bensalem, and she headed straight for the hotel.
After meeting Thomson and Charterer in the lobby of the Best Western Ben Salim Hotel, the group headed straight to the tourist restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, where the lunch invitation they had agreed with Uncle Mark was booked.
After taking the elevator to the top floor, Pepe reported Uncle Mark's name to the waiter at the elevator entrance.
Led by the waiter, Pepe led Thomson and Chartere to the table that Uncle Mark had booked.
After rounding a few tables, Pepe saw Uncle Mark, who was dressed casually, sitting at a table near the window, waving to them. Next to Uncle Mark, sitting with his back to them was probably the friend he had brought.
With Uncle Mark beckoning, the man smiled and turned back. (To be continued)
