Chapter 261: The Triple Crown

The first hurdle of the Triple Crown horse race is the Kentucky Derby. Before the start of the race, many of Shi's friends gathered with them in Louisville, Kentucky, and they all came to cheer on Shi's two racehorses.

In fact, before Shi Lei knew it, the dark horse Zhang Fei and the white horse Feiyan had already achieved very impressive results. Although Shi Lei has asked them to be as low-key as possible in the race, a big doxxing of the participating horses in the relevant magazines before the Kentucky Derby still makes people feel that the two racehorses who were not famous before have reached such a level.

The dark horse Zhang Fei has broken a number of records, and now it has won more than 16 million US dollars for Shi Lei alone. Heavyweight events include the Breeders' Cup Classic and the Dubai World Cup, so it's now a must-have star in horse racing. It also broke the previous record and became the most prized horse of all time.

The White Horse Feiyan has an equally brilliant record, with two Group 1 titles, and as a female she has almost the most dazzling record.

And the reason why Shi Lei's friends came to witness the miracle happened, both of these racehorses already meant to be the hero horses of California, and if they could go further, they would definitely be treated like heroes when they returned to California.

With such impressive results, Zhang Fei and Feiyan are already the favorite seeds for this Kentucky derby.

After Shi Lei and the others returned from the charity ball, it was very close to the start time of this game, and the two hurried to Kentucky. After meeting Lincoln and them, the game was about to begin. Of course, the horses and jockeys came very early.

There is no shortage of well-known racehorses in this race either, including some other champions in the Breeders' Cup. And the audience also has a well-known figure like the great director Spielberg, after all, such a game is still very much expected.

In order to ensure the safety of the two horses, Shi Lei decided to ask the two jockeys to abandon the riskier following strategy adopted in the Dubai World Cup and instead continue with the previous lead strategy.

It's really such a tortuous process, which makes people too entangled. Shi Lei is worried that a careless accident may cause a tragedy of horse destruction and death. After all, the speed is too fast, and there is no guarantee that people will not make mistakes all the time.

So at the start of the race, the two horses made their first stride onto the track and quickly established their lead.

This time, the opponents were also very strong, so the sprint for such a period of time did not let the two horses open too far away, that is, Cheng Dù, who maintained the advantage of two positions over the third horse racehorse. Of course, the two horses managed to maintain this advantage until the end.

After seeing the two racehorses establish an advantage, Shi Lei's heart was relieved. In this case, there will basically be no problems, so Shi Lei's watch has always been very calm.

However, the group of friends who came to help cheer on the side were much more excited than Shi Lei and Laura. The whole game has not stopped with these guys.

Lincoln still had to care about his own image, just standing excitedly waving his hands. And a tamper like Alexander doesn't care about that, and the whole audience can hear this thing pulling his neck and screaming for death.

Although he was cheering for his horse race, Shi Lei still wanted to pretend that he didn't know this rammer. Looking at his trembling face, Shi Lei really wanted to find a tape to seal him the most.

It's not all the reason for feeling ashamed, the key is the big voice of this product. I don't know if the horses below can hear Shi Lei, but Shi Lei's head is about to be blown up by this product, because this thing has been shouting at Shi Lei's ear.

As soon as the game ended, Shi Lei didn't care about his previous low-key approach. Simply pulled Laura down and went to receive the trophy together. Because Alexander, the rammer, began to scream and jump next to him again, Shi Lei couldn't stand this guy's howl at all.

After receiving the championship trophy from the Kentucky governor, Laura was once again stopped by reporters. This time, the reporters are heavyweights, they are reporters from Sports Illustrated. And their requirements are different from previous reporters, they want to shoot a new cover for Sports Illustrated magazine, and the cover content obviously has something to do with Laura.

The picture they wanted was Laura walking on the track with two racing horses, Zhang Fei and Feiyan, the white horse. This is the sports illustrated magazine since its inception. The second time a horse race was featured on the cover, and that was when Laura was a non-sports person. This is all because of the enormous influence of the two racehorses.

With the current level of the two horses, they even have a chance to challenge for the crown of the Triple Crown. If the Kentucky Derby is a pearl in the Midi Race. The Triple Crown is definitely the crown of all horse racing, or the supreme crown of pearls.

So any racehorse who is expected to get this crown is the darling of the media and enjoys the treatment of a prince and princess.

With Shi Lei's encouragement, Laura readily agreed to the other party's invitation. The reporter of Sports Illustrated even couldn't wait to call the best photojournalist of the pictorial, and completed this meaningful shooting directly at the game site.

Shi Lei has seen the photos, Laura's watch is perfect, and she is definitely a goddess-level character. According to this rhythm, Shi Lei feels that Laura should be able to compete for this year's top 100 beauties in the world.

Of course, it's not that the previous Laura was not beautiful enough, in Shi Lei's opinion, Laura will definitely not be worse than any of the beauties on the top 100 beauty rankings, no matter what aspect it is.

It's just that this selection also needs to consider the issue of popularity and influence, and Laura was beautiful before, but not so many people know about it.

Now Laura is often featured in various fashion magazines, and has become the new darling of sports magazines because of several horse racing problems, and even made a stunning appearance in front of a billion viewers around the world at the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup.

Now it's in Sports Illustrated. The magazine that has the top influence in the sports world wants to be known to Laura. It must be enough to enter the top 100 beauties. And Shi Lei privately thinks that Laura's ranking should not be low, otherwise the male audience around the world will not be able to agree.

As for Shi Lei, the man behind Laura, although he has always tried his best to avoid appearing in any media photos, but with the identity of his Laura's fiancé, his name is definitely like thunder.

For the name, of course. I don't know how many people are cursing in circles. Who let him go, shit luck, picked such delicate flowers as Laura. And Laura is not a simple vase, if you have talent, you have to be good-looking, and it is strange not to attract jealousy.

Shi Lei took advantage of this rare opportunity. earned autographs and group photos of several celebrities who came to the scene, and then, of course, ran away quietly.

Although the people on Midi's side also have a taste for gossip, they are relatively not so fanatical about chasing stars. Celebrities do not have to be low-key to stealth on any occasion, otherwise they will be difficult to move an inch.

Most people will still respect the privacy and freedom of celebrities, and will not disturb the lives of celebrities too much. Shi Lei's behavior is already very fond of a celebrity's appearance, so these stars are also happy to interact with this low-key, but actually very well-known horse owner.

Of course, at Shi Lei's request, the reporters at the scene continued to selectively ignore Shi Lei's deposit. The mainstream media, as always, left the layout to the graceful Laura, as for stinky men like Shi Lei. Who's interested in going to see it?

really put Shi Lei in the main frame, who knows if it will hurt the sales of the magazine. Do people like to buy a magazine and go back to study what the person they hate the most looks like, and it's more likely that they just throw such a magazine aside?

So it's better to just let Shi Lei's name appear in a less noticeable corner. As for his photo, of course, he is lying silently in the pile of old papers according to his own wishes.

When Shi Lei and Laura returned to Lincoln and their friends, they were also treated like heroes, of course, in fact, the two were indeed triumphant. And as compatriots from the same place, they also have a sense of tolerance at this time. His face is also very bright.

Among the friends at the scene, of course, Prince smiled the happiest and most sincerely, and the corners of his mouth were almost behind his ears.

The reason is also very simple, don't forget that Shi Lei's two racehorses were trained in the Prince family's horse farm. As the fame of the two racehorses grew. The Prince family's horse farm is also famous, and it has been greatly stained with two racing horses.

Many racehorse owners have been contacting Prince to get their horses to Prince's racecourse. After all, there must be something special about having two champion horses in a racecourse at the same time.

Isn't that cheaper Prince? Therefore, he sincerely hopes that these two horses will do well and their popularity will be further expanded.

Of course, Alexander shouted the loudest, and the cheers of this guy overshadowed the crowd. Fortunately, Shi Lei was prepared. When he walked back, he deliberately pulled Laura to the farthest point from Alexander, with almost all of them separated from Lincoln.

Alexander's voice is still very loud, but it doesn't feel like a sonic boom is bursting in your ears. Shi Lei can also think calmly, so that his brain will not be burned by strong unhappiness, and he will not let the violent noise make him unable to think at all.

While cheering with his friends, Shi Lei was already calculating how much gambling money he could get. And these friends are also talking about their gains with interest.

These guys all chose Shi Lei's horse racing to win, since they came to support the brothers, they must support it thoroughly, so everyone bet 100 US dollars on the dark horse Zhang Fei.

Yes, 100 US dollars, no unit missed, which is dozens of times the share of ordinary people's bets.

These guys are already happily discussing this meal, and it is enough to make up the gambling money they earn and find a high-end restaurant with three Michelin stars. For this reason, these guys laughed one by one, which is called a smugness.

Shi Lei also finished calculating his income, glanced at these unproductive guys with disdain, and took out 100 US dollars in cash in an atmospheric manner, "Counting me and Laura, it's not enough to make up for it from your gamble." "Shi Lei was naturally greeted with a disdainful shì, and a neat middle finger. (To be continued......)
