Chapter 93: Test Run (Part II)

After a long lap on the Triple Crown, Pepe returned to the place with the horse, and after turning over and dismounting, she handed the reins to Thomson.

Thomson took the reins and, comforted by Pepe, rode onto the body of the "Triple Crown".

Pepe handed the whip to Thomson as well, then leaned into the ear of the restless "Triple Crown", stroked the bridge of its nose and whispered: "Baby, be good, don't throw him off, you know?" You are obedient, take him for a ride, and let him see that you, as a mare, can run as fast as the wind! Come on, I'm sure you're going to surprise him! ”

In Thomson's eyes, the "Triple Crown" seemed to understand the words of the master, and under the comfort of the master, he clearly felt that the "Triple Crown", who had wanted to throw him off the horse at any time, calmed down, pressed his head, the horse's neck stretched forward, the front hooves kicked the dirt, and the exhalation between the snorts gradually adjusted the regularity.

Thomson let out a "huh", a little surprised before he started, "Miss Pell, have you trained this horse, why is the starting state and posture so standardized?" ”

The county lord replied arrogantly: "No, before the 'Triple Crown' was bought back by me, the owner of the horse farm used it as a breeding stallion, so he didn't train it, this is its instinct!" ”

"This horse still has a lot of potential in terms of its current starting state, Miss Pell, I'll take it for a test lap now, and I'll know its current state when I'm done." Thomson touched the mane on the horse's neck.

Then he took a whistle out of his pocket, handed it to Pepe, and said, "I'll get my starting position in a moment, and you whistle and let me see how well the horse responds to the whistle." ”

In the end, it is a professional horse trainer. Thomson's posture on the horse is much more standardized than Pepe's, I saw him lower his upper body, pedal the horse with both feet, raise his hips, and hang his entire upper body in the air on the horse, making a forward posture with the "Triple Crown", a posture ready to start at any time. Then he turned his head sideways and nodded to Pepe. Indicates that it is now possible to get started.

Pepe saw that one man and one horse were ready. raised the whistle and blew it hard, only to see Thomson flick the horsewhip, accompanied by the whistle at the same time. The horses sprang out and ran away in an instant.

Fortunately, it was morning and the ground was wet, otherwise it would have been a cloud of dust. Pepe looked at the shadow of the horse in the distance. Muttered to himself.

After about a quarter of an hour, the man and the horse finally returned.

"Yu" Thomson rode the "Triple Crown" and tightened the reins as he approached Pepe. The "Triple Crown" honestly stopped in front of his master, then leaned over his head and stuck out his tongue and licked at his master.

"How many times have you said it, don't lick me!" Pepe hurriedly dodged. "Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. Reward you with an apple! Reluctantly, she took out a large apple from her pocket (space) and stuffed it into the horse's mouth. Finally blocked the encounter of being washed by the tongue.

After running a lap, Thomson's face flushed, he turned over and dismounted, and said to Pepe with an excited face: "Miss Pell, I didn't expect this horse to have such good potential, it is not yet two years old, it has this kind of speed, I am absolutely sure, as long as it is professionally trained, it is definitely capable of running professional races on the track!" Miss Pell, you've definitely bought a good horse! I can now imagine that the owner of the racecourse will regret it for the rest of his life if he sees the results of the 'Triple Crown' in the future! ”

The county lord's mother snorted arrogantly, "Of course, my vision is very sharp!" You won't dislike it as a mare again! ”

Thomson touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Hehe, if you don't say it, I forgot that it's a mare." ”

"Alright, this future Miss Champion will be handed over to you for training in the future. Let's work together to make the name 'Triple Crown' truly worthy of its name! The county lady remembered the mocking expressions of the staff when the horse was registered at the Jockey Club Trading Center, and said to Thomson viciously.

"I'm going to make a training plan for it, when the whistle sounded just now, its start was still not fast enough, it is now less than two years old, the training should be slowly increased step by step, it is not easy to increase its running momentum at this stage, but it can be trained to the whistle sensitivity and starting posture."

"You're a professional in terms of training, so you don't have to report to me. Now that I've hired you, I have complete confidence in you. Pepe said, waving his hand.

"I know that the Breeders Cup has a dedicated two-year-old race, and I hope you've trained it to a certain extent before this, and I'm definitely going to take it to the Breeders' Cup next year, and I figured out that Guò is slowly accumulating the fame and points of the 'Triple Crown' in this race." Pepe looked at Thomson.

"The Breeders' Cup has not only a dedicated two-year-old race, but also a special filly race, but if you want to qualify, you need to participate in a series of points races in the early stage." Thomson replied.

After a pause, Thomson continued: "However, unlike the traditional Triple Crown, if a horse has just reached the age of participation in the early stages of the Breeders' Cup, and is unable to accumulate points in the Championship because they are not old enough to qualify for the Breeders' Cup, they can also participate in the Breeders' Cup Challenge to qualify for the race first. ”

Looking at Pepe's curious eyes, Thomson, a professional horse trainer, began to introduce Pepe to a series of information and various events in the Breeders' Cup.

The traditional horse racing hotspot in the United States is the Kentucky Beater Race, which, along with the Billy's Championship and the Belmont Championship, forms the U.S. Triple Crown for three-year-olds. However, since the inaugural Breeders' Cup in 1984, which challenged the traditional Triple Crown, the up-and-coming Breeders' Cup and the Traditional Triple Crown have since become the four hotspots in American horse racing.

While the traditional Triple Crown is only accessible to thoroughbreds after the age of three, the Breeder's Cup has risen to the advantage of its classification system. In addition to the traditional sprint, mile, turf, dirt and classics, it has also added new horse races, filly races, two-year-old races, marathon races and many other special races, attracting the best horses and riders from the United States and around the world.

After being popularized by professional Thomson, Pepe learned that her "Triple Crown" mare will be able to participate in the following races when she turns two years old next year:

Breeders' Cup Two-Year-Old Sprint Race, no classification, 6 years, $500,000 prize money;

the Breeders' Cup Two-Year-Old Mare Grass Race, a Grade 2 race with a one-mile meadow distance and $1 million prize money;

the Breeders' Cup Two-Year-Old Filly, a Group 1 race with a distance of one and sixteen minutes and one mile and a prize fund of $2 million;

The Breeder's Cup Filles' Classic, a Group 1 race with a distance of one and eight quarters a mile and a prize fund of $2 million;

The Breeder's Cup New Horse Grass Race, a Group 1 race with a one-mile meadow distance and a prize fund of $1 million.

Pepe calculated that the "Triple Crown" could participate in a total of five events, and then, she calculated that if she won all of them, the total prize money would be $6.5 million, and the more she thought about it, the more proud she became, and she couldn't help but smile

"Miss Pell? Miss Pell? Thomson stabbed Pepe, Pepe came back to his senses, Thomson handed her the phone, "Just now Joey came to text the message, he said to call you, and found that you didn't have your phone with you." Joey's cousin Danny had already taken his wife to the lodge with his luggage at this time, and Joey asked when we were going back? Also, he said that Miss Aya is also looking for you. ”

The county lord hurriedly held back her coveted smile, straightened her face, took the phone and looked at it, handed it back to Thomson and said, "Then let's go back." ”

After speaking, she took the reins and led the "Triple Crown" to the direction of the villa.

As she walked, she instructed Thomson: "There is no need to rush to train for the 'Triple Crown' these days, John has already started laying the track, and it will only be two or three days, you will follow the engineering team of John paving the track these days, what are the requirements and deficiencies to help guide you, don't wait for the track to be paved, you can say here and there." ”

Thomson nodded and replied, "Miss Pell, you don't say that I will also watch the progress of their laying of the track, I am a professional in this regard, I will guide you if you need anything, you can rest assured." ”

Pepe nodded reassuringly.

The two of them returned to the villa. (To be continued)
