Melbourne is sunny in early November, the spring breeze brings the birds and flowers to the city, and it warmly welcomes visitors from all over the world, and the annual horse racing carnival finally kicks off.

The city, which is said to shut down the country for a day, is filled with excitement and joy, with parades in fancy costumes walking through the streets early in the morning.

The championship trophy from the Melbourne Cup horse racing was also displayed at this time, allowing pedestrians and tourists on the roadside to get a sneak peek and ignite the enthusiasm of the audience in advance.

The TV channels seemed to report only on this event, with reporters sending back all sorts of news and scenes, and tourists happily joining in on the horse racing bets.

The 24 horses in the final have been released, and the audience can choose the horses to bet on according to their preferences and analysis, and the betting company is changing the odds according to big data all the time, so as not to damage their interests.

Su Jing and Liu Ping both put on the clothes they had prepared before, the big hat looked extremely fancy and eye-catching, and it must be able to stand out among the ladies in the hats.

And Wang Hao, Banner and Wang Liol matched the suits, Wang Hao threw away the tie and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, not so formal, anyway, to talk about business directly to Jason Smith, Wang Hao only needs to watch the game.

The family arrived at Fairington Racecourse early, and at this time Fairington Racecourse had become a crowd, the audience seats were almost full, and even the empty boxes during the preliminaries were full of people.

Sitting in his private room, Wang Hao picked up a glass of champagne and said to Banner on the side: "I have a hunch that I want to make a small profit here." ”

"I have the same hunch and hope that the Lightning and Harry don't let us down." Banner took a sip, then leaned against the railing and picked up his binoculars to examine it carefully.

Su Jing complained on the side and said: "If you really want to win the championship, you shouldn't be photographed by the media going to a strip club to play until three or four o'clock in the morning." Those tabloid reporters were almost fainting with laughter, how long had it been since they had encountered such bombarding news. ”

Wang Hao nodded approvingly, he still didn't understand the brain circuits of these people, and when he should be recuperating, he went to drink and have fun, and the most important thing was that he was photographed by reporters.

Even if Harry has always been the most deviant of the British royal family, it is enough to disgrace the royal family, and a prince actually goes to that kind of place.

While many men probably like to go, no one wants to be put in the open, and many even assert that Harry let himself go after knowing that he had no hope of winning the title.

Banner pouted, and he explained: "Look, Harry will definitely surprise us, after all, I pressed 300,000 Australian dollars on him." ”

Hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars are nothing to Banner, if you lose, you will be a friend who supports you, and if you win, you will make a lot of money.

Harry and Lightning came out on top from the first round of the heats and competed in the final against the world's best riders and horses.

Don't look at the lightning that kept crushing the rest of the foals in the heats, but it was only a poor match for these expensive champions, not a class at all.

The insurance on these horses alone is enough to eat a pot of lightning, and its experience of participating in the preliminaries is only the previous preliminaries, and people can only judge whether they can win the championship by the results of the preliminaries.

And the rest of the horses, each with a long list of awards, this championship seems to be very remarkable.

Most people think that Harry and the lightning have come to this point, which is already an extraordinary performance, and it is more difficult to get the ranking than to climb to the sky, and the journey of this dark horse is basically over.

Wang Hao didn't think about using spells to help Lightning, after all, Lightning and Harry were just having fun, and if they used spells to cheat and rob others of their jobs, it seemed a bit unauthentic.

He is not short of money, lightning can win, if he can't win, forget it, Wang Hao is very open-minded.

There are several times more people in the black press than in the preliminaries, and now multiple high-definition cameras are working at the same time, sending live signals to the world.

Even if the time difference factor is there, there are still people who stay up late to watch the game, and the estimated viewership is as high as hundreds of millions of people, and now because of the gimmick of the British prince's competition, the ratings are only increasing!

The organizing committee thought that Harry was just here to make soy sauce, but he didn't expect people to inadvertently enter the finals, and the media who had predicted the results before were slapped in the face, but now they are crazy to praise, eager to touch the lightning to the highest, and then wait to fall down.

"The biggest competitor in this race is the Bereaker, who broke the record just a month ago, and the media are very optimistic about it. In addition, the rain man from the United Kingdom and the blue tulip from the United States are expected to be high, and there is no lightning name in the championship prediction released by the authoritative media. ”

Before the race, not only celebrities in the horse racing world give their predictions on TV, but also some professional magazines or large newspapers will ask people to write articles, and then publish them.

It's just that in this year's competition, the combination of Lightning and Harry, a pure newcomer, has become the biggest variable, according to the state of the lightning in the preliminaries, as long as it plays well, it can at least enter the top five, and it needs to win the championship faster.

In the field catalogue provided by Fermington Racecourse, there is a detailed description of each horse and the corresponding expert comments, but in the page that introduces the lightning information, only the most basic physical data is introduced.

But the words of the experts are very uncomfortable, what body fat is too high, it is not a professional-level racehorse, the leg bones are not long enough, the psychological quality is poor and needs to be honed, and the highest expectation is to win the third place.

I believe that people who see this book will generally not bet on lightning, unless it is the pure gambler's rebellious mentality.

Wang Hao didn't really believe the words of those experts, he said with a smile: "There is no lightning name, it is their mistake." Hopefully, lightning will shut up the self-righteous experts. ”

"Alright, let's watch the game."

The 24 horses and riders were all ready, and the audience held their breath at this moment, not daring to make any rash moves, lest they disturb the race.

When the starting gate opened at the same time, the champions scrambled out.

However, at this point, the lightning in the middle of the position started one step slower, and after training is very different from not having a starting training, these horses are not a ragtag army in the preliminaries!

One step was slow, and the lightning fell at the rear, because of the position, it was not easy to speed up at all, and the surrounding was blocked by the rest of the horses.

Harry didn't think too much about it, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to not be at the bottom, just pass the horse in front of him, just pass it.

In normal games, people who fall behind too much will slack off and give up the game, but Harry, like Lightning, has a lot of energy in his heart, thinking that he can chase it back.

So he gritted his teeth and rushed forward desperately, which meant that he would come from behind.

From the final 24, passing two horses at the first corner, then catching up in a straight and then passing three more, the lightning pushed his speed to the limit. (To be continued.) )
