As soon as he returned to the ranch and settled down, Shi Lei received good news from Spark, and he helped find another jockey friend, of course, who was also the jockey in charge of thoroughbreds. Top Novel, www.

He can guarantee that this friend's level is not worse than his own, but the same other party needs to see the situation of the horses in the stone ranch before deciding whether to stay on the ranch.

Again, it was a mutually selective interview. After the arrival of the other party, everyone once again came to the high-end racecourse of the Prince family and came up for a lap on the track.

The newcomer Peyton was also unanimously recognized by the people who witnessed his cousin, and after receiving another guarantee from Shi Lei, Peyton also readily agreed to stay. And took the initiative to choose a relatively weak mare Feiyan to control.

He, like Spark, is very optimistic about the two horses. And after riding, Payton was even more convinced of this idea. It's just that Sparker came first, and the dark horse Zhang Fei may really be in the dark, and he has been cooperating with Sparker for a longer time, and he has already established a tacit understanding very preliminarily. Therefore, whether Peyton is out of friend's morality or for the sake of running in with the mount, it is more suitable to choose the very docile Feiyan.

With Payton also left at Prince's horse farm to continue their training, Shi Lei just had to go back and wait for their good news. The Breeder's Cup is still about to begin, and both Payton and Sparky will need to build up a good rapport with their mounts.

And the jockey who had always wanted Prince to introduce the Quart horse still didn't believe it, so Prince was not embarrassed to come over and continue to grind Shi Lei, about breeding with the white horse Feiyan or the black horse Zhang Fei.

After Laura returned to the ranch, she also put the inspiration accumulated during this period of domestic travel into paper quickly.

Inspiration is sometimes fleeting, if you can't catch it, you may miss it all the time, and a person's success sometimes, it depends on the inspiration that bursts out after having enough accumulation.

Of course, these things are not achieved overnight. There is also a need for a well-established process. But it's a good habit to write it down or draw it when you think of it, especially for creators.

On the Labor Day weekend, Shi Lei and Laura didn't go to see the various parades they had seen many times, but were invited by actress Nicole to participate in the Mide Food and Wine Exhibition in Beverly Hills. Not only are famous celebrity chefs in California, such as Wolfgang's Oscar-winning chefs attending the event, but also many celebrities from all walks of life.

Although celebrities often have to go on diets in order to keep in shape, and even get very cruel diseases such as anorexia, there is no shortage of foodies among celebrities. For example, Zack, who became an instant hit with the "Hangover" series and became the most joyful fat man in Hollywood. Galife Anakis, just by looking at his figure, you know that this is an out-and-out foodie.

And this kind of event is also a more relaxed social occasion, so it is also a suitable communication opportunity for many celebrities.

And for Laura, to attend this party. In addition to satisfying the self-consciousness of being a foodie, it is also a good opportunity to meet more celebrities, who are all potential customers of Laura's future. Of course, it is also very meaningful for Shi Lei, and many star chefs on the scene are the partners he can strive for.

Of course, in fact, many star chefs on the scene are already Shi Lei's partners, and many of them have dealt with each other at the New York Summer Specialty Food Show twice. So when Shi Lei arrived at the scene, he was warmly welcomed by many chefs at the scene.

This treatment is not worse than that of many big-name stars, and other people who don't know Shi Lei have curiously whispered about Shi Lei's origin. This provided an unexpected opportunity for Laura to integrate into the circle of stars, and Laura was very proud of it.

While satisfying their appetites, Shi Lei and Laura, who had negotiated several orders, looked at each other and smiled. Satisfied, I went to my parents' private restaurant and looked at it.

When Shi Lei came over, it was already past dinner, and his parents were chatting with An Yumeng and them relaxedly. Regarding Shi Lei's arrival, his parents didn't have anything to say, but to Laura. The two elders have always been enthusiastic, and they asked Laura very affectionately if she had eaten well, anyway, she asked for warmth and threw Shi Lei aside.

An Yumeng looked at Shi Lei's speechless expression with a smile. Asked Shi Lei to the side and sat down. After making sure that Shi Lei and Laura had eaten, she was next to her and chatted with Shi Lei with a smile.

Shi Lei also happened to take the opportunity to ask An Yumeng, a person who came over, about the engagement process or something. And what she thinks she should pay attention to in the process. And Shi Lei thinks the most important thing is what the girls are looking forward to at such a ceremony. It is convenient for you to grasp the problem of this direction.

Shi Lei and Laura's lives have become regular, and the increasing number of orders has also made Laura more and more busy. But he still found time to accompany Shi Lei and participated in two festival activities on Santa Barbara's side.

To be precise, it should be a festival for foodies, and one is the port seafood festival, which starts with lobster, with a variety of seafood, cooking shows, children's activities, music performances, and various marine entertainment.

And then there's the Carpintera California Avocado Festival. Santa Barbara is the third-largest producer of avocados in North America. The three-day festival offers great food and great music, making it a great place for family activities and even more so for foodies.

In Shi Lei's ardent anticipation, the Breeders' Cup is about to start, but this competition is not something you can participate in if you want to. Either you have to take part in the Breeders' Cup Challenge to get priority qualification, or you have to have the Breeders' Cup staff take a fancy to your horse and agree to let your horse participate in the relevant event.

Although Shi Lei thought about Guò Prince and said hello to the organizers of the Cup, this is a typical Chinese way of doing things. But considering that the relationship with Prince is not very close, although it is certain that he has a connection with the organizers of the Breeders' Cup, Shi Lei still does not owe this favor.

And Shi Lei believes in the strength of the white horse Feiyan and the dark horse Zhang Fei, as long as they win the first place in the challenge, can they not be allowed to participate.

So there is no doubt that Shi Lei arranged for Payton and Sparker to participate in the Breeders' Cup Sprint Challenge. Of course, this is on the premise that Elton and the two jockeys have confirmed that the two horses are in good condition and fit to race.

"Don't try your best when you go, just make sure you qualify, keep some strength and leave some thoughts for the opponents behind you.

Well, it's about keeping a low profile and making the opponent underestimate our strength. Don't forget that our goal is the Triple Crown series, and we must not show our strength too early so as not to cause others to besiege us.

It only takes a few horses to sacrifice and create some obstacles for us, and we have a lot to lose. See what I mean? Let the two racehorses hold their strength and run leisurely. ”

In the mobilization in front of the station, Shi Lei explained to the two jockeys like this. If other opponents heard this, they probably couldn't help but punch Shi Lei in the face. Of course, let's talk about whether we can beat it, but this mood must have reached the point where I have to beat Shi Lei to get angry.

What do these opponents regard in Shi Lei's heart? Is it just a local chicken and a tile dog? In fact, it really is. An opponent of this level has long been regarded as nothing by Shi Lei.

On the day of the race, Shi Lei of course had to go to the scene to see the table of the two horses. The race takes place not far from Stone Ranch at St. Janita Racecourse, one of the most famous racecourses in the United States and the world.

The general admission fee here is less than 3 US dollars, and there is a large garden in the center of the racecourse, which is suitable for picnics and cultural friendships. There is also a special playground for the little ones. Near the entrance is the stables, garden and souvenir station of the Lyria.

For nearly 10 years, the Breeders' Cup has been held in this racecourse, which is both traditional and modern. Even a relatively low-level race, such as the Sprint Challenge, was chosen to be held here because the racecourse was large enough and had a large enough seating capacity of 120,000 spectators to meet the needs of all levels of horse racing.

Shi Lei and Laura both sat in the audience area, still holding their gambling tickets in their hands. Of course, the two did not hesitate to press the two horses of the stone ranch to get the top two, and also chose a compound bet with higher odds, although they just took a little change to play, but both of them wanted to win a good prize.

This feeling is still different, and for Shi Lei, betting on horses is also a very novel experience, and he has never had the opportunity to contact it before.

However, Laura is familiar with this, and Shi Lei still found out the way to bet on horses under Laura's prompts and leadership. Horse racing is second only to baseball on the side of the Midi side, and the second largest sport in which the Midi people widely participate.

Horse racing in the United States attracts 80 million spectators every year, which means that horse racing has an extremely wide mass base in Midi. Moreover, the United States is also the third largest horse lottery country in the world, with an average annual horse racing betting total of about 16 billion US dollars, including Spielberg and previous presidents of the United States, are frequent visitors to the Kentucky Derby. Therefore, Shi Lei is very interested in participating in this kind of legal gambling activities and experiencing different excitement.

Under the watchful eyes of Shi Lei and Laura, as soon as the floodgates of the horse racing opened, the white horse Feiyan and the dark horse Zhang Fei rushed out first under the control of their respective jockeys, and their excellent explosiveness allowed them to establish a lead from the beginning.

However, with Shi Lei's explanation, neither Payton nor Sparky let the two racehorses who were excited because they were competing with other horses let go. In fact, what the two jockeys are doing along the way is the opposite of the other jockeys.

The other jockeys are desperately trying to get their mounts up to speed, and since it's a sprint race, there is no need for very strict control over the horses' body distribution, so a sprint is fine.

Peyton and Spark, on the other hand, were helplessly taking the reins lightly, trying to slow down the speed of the two horses and not lead the opponents behind them too much. (To be continued......) R527
