It was said that it was only an hour's drive, but it was already an hour and a half after arriving at Old Andrew's horse farm.

On the way, Fu Ya still turned on the laptop and connected to the portable router, and went online to check the relevant information of the legendary horse king "secretariat" in the mouth of old Andre.

Born in 1970, Ariat is the most famous Triple Crown winner in American horse racing history, winning the Kentucky Beat in 1973 and winning back-to-back championships in both the Championship and the Bemont Championship, becoming the first Triple Crown winner in the United States in 25 years.

Three of the 100 greatest North American athletes of the 20th century were non-human horses, and the "Secretariat" ranked 35th overall, and the 33-cent stamp issued in 1999 was printed with the head of the famous horse "Secretariat".

With more than 600 youngsters since his retirement, Secretariat has a better pedigree as a dam (grandfather) than the sire, and the second generation of Secretariat's grandchildren are known as A.P., Indy, Chief's-, Stormcat, Go, etc.

Fu Ya also found an anecdote on the Internet that the legendary horse king "Secretariat" died in 1989, and when the veterinarian dissected him, he found that his heart was three times larger than that of other horses, which may explain his excellent racing results. From a scientific point of view, this gene is passed on the X chromosome and is passed on to the grandchildren of the daughters, which is why the grandfather's name is given in the pedigree of thoroughbreds.

Pei Pei listened to Fu Ya's explanation and remembered Shangyun: "If the heart is big, the lungs are big, and if the lungs are big, you can run", so as soon as she arrived at the old Andre's horse farm, she couldn't wait to ask the old Andre to take her to Soma.

Old André led the group into a long row of stables, which were full of tall horses and two cowboys who were adding hay and water to the manger. The two cowboys saw that old André had brought his guests to see the horses, and after saying hello, they were surprised to add hay to the manger one after another.

Old André pointed to some of the horses and proudly introduced them to Peipei: "All three horses are track horses, and they all have quite good results in the race, and this 'from afar' has the best results, and this year's Billy is a good fourth place in the championship. These horses are brothers to each other, descendants of the 'Empress's Scepter'! Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the 'Empress's Scepter' is the mare I introduced to you with the 'Secretariat' bloodline. ”

At this moment, a black man of about thirty years of age, not very tall, looked a little thin and tight, and wore a wide-brimmed cowboy hat at the door of the stable. As soon as old Andre saw him walk in, he immediately said hello, "Hey, Douglas, come on." ”

When the black man heard this, he immediately came over and introduced himself to Peipei and the others: "Hello, gentlemen and ladies, I am Douglas, the horse trainer of the old Andrew's Horse Farm, and it is a pleasure to meet you! Is there anything I can help me with? ”

"These are the thoroughbreds who are here to pick the thoroughbreds, and when they're done, you'll be in charge of leading them around the track," said old Andre. ”

The county lady set off from the manor early in the morning, drove for more than an hour to the Jockey Club Trading Center, and was flickered by old Andre at the door of the Jockey Club Trading Center and drove for an hour and a half to his horse farm. Take me to see it. ”

"The Empress's scepter is not for sale, and I still want to keep it for breeding!" Old Andrei thought that the buyer had on his species. Ma was interested and quickly explained.

"I know, I'm just looking, I'm going to buy and I'm only going to buy offspring from this horse." Pei Pei was impatient.

"Alright then, you come with me." Old Andre led everyone to the innermost part of the stable, if the first dozen or so mangers are ordinary standard room configurations, the back mangers are like luxury room configurations.

"This is my most beloved treasure, the Empress's Scepter!" Old Andre pointed to a tall red horse and introduced.

The empress's scepter looked very energetic, it saw old Andre coming, affectionately put his head to the master, rubbed the master's face, old Andrei took out a carrot from his pocket, broke off a piece and put it in the palm of his hand and handed it to it, the empress's scepter lowered its head and rolled its tongue, and the carrot was hooked into its mouth.

Old Andre affectionately touched the bridge of its nose and introduced it proudly to Pei Pei and the others: "The paternal lineage of the Empress's Scepter can be traced back to the grandson of the Secretariat, the famous horse Storm Cat, so it is also the great-great-great-grandson of the legendary Horse King Secretariat. Old Andrei recited a string of "Zeng" in a row.

Reese on the side laughed directly when she heard this, and even Fu Ya covered her mouth and snickered, this bloodline is really far enough.

Pei Pei also wanted to laugh, but she still restrained the expression on her face, straightened her face, and asked old Andre: "Okay, I have already seen this maternal bloodline, you can take me to see its children, I ask to see the pony under the age of three." ”

Old Andre saw the expressions of Reese and the others, coughed and replied a little embarrassedly: "Come up here with me." ”

Pei Pei and the others followed old André out of the stable, and walked to the back of the row, where there was a long row of stables.

The group followed old André inside, and the stable looked like a pony's stable, and all the horses in it looked like ponies under the age of three.

There are more than twenty mangers in this stable, and there are twelve manroughs with horses in them.

Old André pointed to the first to fifth mangers and said, "These five horses are the children of the Empress's scepter, the oldest of them is more than two years old, and the youngest is only half a year old. ”

Pei Pei was finally in high spirits at this time, starting from the first manger, one by one.

To be honest, the ancient Chinese county lord Niangniang only had a cursory look at it once, what "the forehead is raised, the eyes are protruding, and the hooves are like wine and medicine cakes", "the eyes are big and the eyes are big, and the small is small," these characteristics of the horses can only be used as a theoretical basis for the immigrant descendants of these British thoroughbred horses at this time.

Despite this, the county lord still looked at the eyes and teeth of these horses one by one with great interest, and pretended to touch the bones and limbs of the horses, and Reese also followed the boss's ass to check one by one, as if she also knew about horses. But Joey, who looked at the posture of the horses, was familiar with them, and helped the county lord to inspect the five horses one by one, and each time she inspected one, she nodded to Peipei, and then tested the next one.

ps: It took more than an hour to check the information, and I hurriedly sent it as soon as I finished writing. I have a big head written about the plot of buying a horse, and Ah Meow really doesn't understand horses, let alone information about horse racing, but considering that in Lao Mei, horse racing is more popular than the NBA, so I had to write it down. In the end, it is still a matter of asking for clicks, collections, and recommendations! Dear book friends, your daily recommendation vote is the greatest encouragement and support for me!
