The next morning, Pepe woke up, washed up and went downstairs.

Fu Ya was preparing breakfast in the kitchen with Joey's wife, Rhona, when Pepe walked in and greeted them with good morning.

"Isn't Joey already up the mountain?" She asked Rona casually.

"No, he's in the stable, scrubbing his good brother, and Reese is there." Rhona replied.

"Good brother? Scrub? Pepe was puzzled, "I'll take a look, Aya, you make breakfast and call me at the stable." ”

With that, she picked up a slice of toast from her plate and walked out of the kitchen as she ate.

When she walked into the stable, she realized that Joey's "good brother" turned out to be a horse.

The stables in the cottage were no longer empty, and Joey moved into the cottage with his beloved Quarter horse.

In addition to the small amount of money in the bank, Joey's personal possessions are worth the most valuable thing is a horse and a Ford pickup truck.

Early every morning, Joey would brush and groom his beloved horses before returning to the house for breakfast.

By the time Pepe arrived at the stable, Joey had almost finished cleaning his beloved horse, and Reese was eager to help. It can be seen that Reese is very fond of horses.

"Good morning, boss!" Joey looked up and said hello to the little boss.

"Pell, good morning!" Reese nodded at Pepe.

"Good morning!" Pepe finished the slice of bread in her hand, clapped her hands, walked to the horse, looked at the huge stable and saw that there was only one occupant in the huge stable, and then thought of her previous plan, she opened her mouth and said to Joey: "Joey, you don't have to go up the mountain today, after breakfast in a while, take me to the horse market." ”

Joey had finished cleaning his horse by this time, he threw the brush into the bucket, picked up a dry cloth to wipe the horse's body, and asked Pepe as he wiped, "Boss, do you want to buy a horse too?" ”

"Well, such a large stable, only this horse of yours lives, and I plan to add a neighbor to your horse." Pepe replied.

Joey asked again, "Boss, do you want to buy an adult horse over three years old or a young horse under three years old?" ”

"Do you have anything to recommend?" Pepe thought about it for a moment and decided to listen to the professional.

After looking at the height and body shape of his boss, Joey said: "The temper of an adult stallion is short-tempered, and it takes a long time and energy to cultivate a tacit understanding if a young horse, if the boss you just want to buy a horse to ride and enjoy it, I would like to choose a gentle mare over three years old, so that you don't have to spend a long time to cultivate tacit understanding." ”

After a pause, Joey spoke again: "If you don't pay attention to the bloodline of the horse, you can choose the Quarter horse, the price of the Quarter horse is not expensive, the price of the average adult mother Quarter is around eight hundred to one thousand dollars, we don't have to go to the horse market in Bozeman City, the nearby ranchers have a lot of Quarter horses, boss you can call and ask Old Thofer, there are more than a dozen Quarter horses in his ranch." ”

Pepe shook his head and replied, "No, I'm going to buy a thoroughbred, and I'm going to take it to the Triple Crown in the future." ”

"If you want to race horses, you have to be thoroughbreds. There's a thoroughbred Jockey Club Trading Center in Bozeman, boss, are you planning to leave after breakfast or go in the afternoon? Joey asked.

"After breakfast, Reese, after breakfast you go to the garage and drive my Wrangler out." Pepe explained to Reese on the side.

Reese nodded, Joey had already wiped the water stains off the horse's body by this time, he put the dry cloth on the side of the barrel, looked at Pepe and said, "Boss, if you want to transport the horse back, it is better to drive my pickup truck, I can hang a carriage behind the pickup truck." ”

After hearing this, Pepe reacted, yes, even if this horse is bought, it can't be collected into the space in front of everyone and brought back, so she nodded, and said to Joey while accompanying Joey and Reese out of the stable, "Then you go to the garage and drive your pickup truck out." ”

Joey nodded and said, "Then boss, you go back to the house and wait for me for a while, and after I clean up here, I will go to the garage and hang the carriage behind the pickup truck, and then drive out of the garage." With that, he hurried to the sink at the entrance of the stable, poured the dirty water from the bucket into the pool, and began to rinse the brush and the dry cloth.

Seeing that he was busy, Pepe patted Reese, and the two walked back into the house together.

After breakfast, Pepe took the two big girls and got into a pickup truck driven by Joey and set off for the Jockey Club Trading Centre in Bozeman.

Along the way, Joey introduced Pepe as he drove that horse racing is the second most widely participated sport in the United States after baseball. Moreover, the United States is also the third largest horse lottery country in the world, and there are racetracks in major cities across the United States.

Fu Ya sat in the back seat of the car, turned on the computer and connected to the portable router, and checked the relevant information of horse racing.

The commercial horse racing industry has a legal status in various states and is recognized and protected by law. The commercial horse racing industry has its own full-time seat in the Parliament, and has its own full-time Parliamentary lobbyists, who are directly involved in the making, amendment and supplementation of relevant laws in the Parliament.

It can be seen that horse racing culture has even affected the political life of the United States, and the annual Triple Crown Race has attracted a large number of celebrities, and even the president will participate in watching it.

More than an hour later, the pickup truck pulled into Bozeman, and Joey made a few turns in the downtown streets, and finally stopped in front of a prominent building.

"This is the racecourse in Bozeman, and the Club Trading Centre is right inside the racecourse." Joey introduced to Pepe as he parked in the parking lot at the entrance.

Today is not the weekend, so the entrance to the racecourse looks a little cold, Joey took Pepe and the others to the door to say hello to the guard, explaining that they were going to the Jockey Club Trading Center to buy horses, the guard nodded, opened the door and let them in.

Following Joey through the empty stands and lawn, the group came to the front of a one-story building behind the racecourse, which was not empty in front of the building, and the entrance was quite crowded.

Joy introduced Pepe to the Jockey Club Trading Centre behind the racecourse. As soon as Joy and the others approached the Jockey Club Trading Center, several people surrounded them and asked if they wanted to buy horses.

Joey points to Pepe and explains that his boss wants to buy a thoroughbred.

As soon as these people heard Joey's explanation, they surrounded Pepe again, and couldn't wait to recommend Pepe:

"Miss, my horse farm is full of thoroughbreds."

"Miss, let's go and have a look at my horse farm."

"If you want to buy a thoroughbred, you should still find me old Andre, the thoroughbreds in my horse farm can be traced back to the bloodlines of the secretariat."

Pepe heard one of them say a horse name "Secretariat" and asked Joey curiously, "Is Secretariat famous?" ”

The man hurriedly squeezed in front of Pepe and enthusiastically introduced: "Of course, the Secretariat is a legendary horse king!" There are kings every year, and the Triple Crown, in the nearly 100 years of American horse racing history, there are only a handful of 11, and the Secretariat is a Triple Crown horse in American history! Ranked second in the list of 100 famous racehorses in North America, behind God of War! Everyone here knows that there is a mare in my old Andre's stable, and the paternal pedigree can be traced back to the Secretariat! ”

For Pepe, whether it is "Secretariat" or "God of War", these names are quite unfamiliar, but as the former county lord's mother, she still knows a little bit about the Soma Sutra, and knows whether the horses are excellent or not, and the bloodline is very important. So, she walked up to old Andre with great interest and asked, "Is your horse farm far away?" ”

The others, seeing that Pepe seemed to be interested in old Andrei's horses, looked at old Andre with jealousy, and walked away.

Faintly, you can still hear those people chewing their tongues: "Old Andre is taking his mare with the blood of the Secretariat to steal customers again"

Old Andre glanced at the backs of those people, turned his head to Pepe and continued to greet warmly: "It's not far, it's not far at all, it's only an hour's drive from here!" Miss, would you like to go to my horse farm? ”

Pepe thought for a moment and looked at Joey.

Joy explained to Pepe: "Although this is a Jockey Club trading center, it is impossible for the seller to pull the horse to the door to show people, and the owner of the horse farm will usually collect customers at the gate here, and the interested buyer can follow the horse farm owner to the other party's horse farm to inspect the horses." ”

"Won't there be any cheating?" Pepe asked curiously.

Old Andre immediately came up and interjected: "Beautiful young lady, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts on this!" As soon as a thoroughbred horse is born, the owner will register it with the Club's Trading Centre. Now they are all connected to the Internet, and the pedigree of each thoroughbred horse can be found out as long as it is on the Internet, and when it comes to the final transaction, we still have to go to the Jockey Club Trading Center to change the registration of the owner. ”

Hearing Old Andrei's explanation, Pepe relaxed a little, nodded to Old Andre and said, "Then let's take us to your horse farm." ”

Old Andre saw that the business was half successful, and waved happily, "Then let's go, let's go to the parking lot, you drive behind my car." ”

Pepe took the two big girls and Joey, and followed old André out of the racecourse, restarted the car, followed old Andre's car, and drove all the way to his racecourse.
