Chapter 214: Keep Progressing
Chiji's victory at the Prekness Grand Prix is something to celebrate; Although there was also the Belmont Grand Prix, it didn't stop Abilene from holding a small town celebration for Chiji. Although Wei Da doesn't have a good impression of those media, and although Wei Da really doesn't like to be a star or anything like that, one thing is for sure he still thinks it will be fun to celebrate with the townspeople!
Old Kyle drove the trailer, Chiji with a garland of champions struggling with his head up, the roadside was full of cheering crowds, with the Texas state flag, with the image of Chiji, and now this little guy is a star, a superstar. Now it has been cheered by the whole town, and everyone will be proud of Chiji, and because Chiji is from Abiline, that is enough.
The mayor of the town appeared, along with a few others; These guys must be indispensable at such a celebration party, because they can brush up their sense of existence to show their political achievements, and also because there are many residents in the town now, so they can go and have fun with the people, so they can also get some support. This can only be said about the systems of the United States, although the water such as public elections is very deep, but it is still rare for people to say more.
The stinky and long reports of these politicians ended, and then naturally Chiji walked out arrogantly amid the cheers of thousands of people; This is the champion horse, winner of the Prekness Grand Prix!
The beautiful and handsome mosquito protective clothing also has several logos on it, and there are also many merchants who are now contacting the horse farm manager Christian because they want to become the sponsor of Chiji. That's how a champion horse is treated. Even if these sponsorship fees have exceeded the championship bonus, Chiji can still bring in a lot of income.
The fame of the racecourse is getting louder and louder, especially when Chiji's performance is getting better and better. After winning the Precones Grand Prix, there are more people who want to keep their horses in the 'Weida Racecourse', and although the entrance fee is not low now, it is not a problem for many people.
"Chiji has won the championship, the winner of the Precones Grand Prix! Trust me, this is just the beginning, it will take many more championships! As a horse owner, Wei Da is also in high spirits. For him, now is a moment to show off; Although it is very stressful to stand in front of thousands of people to speak, Wei Da has no stage fright.
"It's a kid from Abiline, a good Abilene lad! All now. Guys, cheer for Chiji, it's that simple! I'm sure we'll be going to start the party soon, more of Chiji's celebration parties! "Weida knows that stinky, long speeches are annoying. So he ended his speech very simply. Now it's still a good cheer that is the main thing, and that's the theme of the celebration party.
There are many people vying to take photos with Chiji, and there are also many people taking photos with rider David; Riders are actually still very popular, especially young champion riders like this, which is even more eye-catching. David is very good, he is Chiji's full-time rider, and it is also because this guy has risen from a nobody to a champion rider that it is very storytelling, which naturally attracts more people's attention.
After winning the championship. Many people know that David used to be just a little rider who almost didn't have a job opportunity; But now, he's a champion rider with a lot of scenery. In the ranking of riders, it has soared again. From a nobody to a two-year-old champion rider to a Triple Crown champion rider, this is of course another quintessential American dream, an incomparably inspirational story, and quite a story of shock and anticipation.
Weida's triumph continued, but there were other things to do after the town's celebrations, and Chiji was soon preparing for the Belmont Grand Prix, the final leg of the Treble. It's a 2,400-meter race, and it's the race he does best. Since not the best 1,900m Precones Grand Prix can be won, there's no reason not to do better in the Belmont Grand Prix, where they are best at all.
Weida is looking forward to the Belmont Grand Prix, and now Chiji has achieved better and better performances. Now that we have a Treble title, we can expect to do even better. Although they can't win the Triple Crown, although they lost in the Kentucky Derby, Wei Da and Chi Ji can fight for the remaining two championships.
"Chiji is in great shape and we will win more titles. The Belmont Grand Prix is a must-win for us, and as you may know, we all know that what we do best is long-distance racing, and the Belmont Grand Prix is made for the Red Horse. Man, get the Belmont Grand Prix and we have a chance to be the horse of the year! "Old Kyle is very excited, although there have been a lot of interviews and celebrations in the past two days, but this has not affected Chiji's training at all; Pointing to Chiji, who is getting better and better on the track, Old Kyle is full of anticipation.
Seeing Chi Ji and David running very well on the track, Wei Da was also very happy; Chiji is now getting closer and closer to the peak, although Wei Da knows that Chiji still has a lot of potential to continue to explore. But what is certain is that the current Chiji is actually very difficult to meet opponents, if Chiji can continue to improve, then Wei Da believes that Chiji can really stand out, it can become the king of horses!
Chiji set off for Belmont Racecourse in Elmont, New York City, the third stop of America's famous Triple Crown race. Of course, Weida still stays in the ranch now, and Chiji will go over first under the leadership of David and Kyle. Wei Da is also very relieved now, because Chi Ji's performance is very good now, and Chi Ji is now able to win the championship with great confidence.
"You kid has been making crazy money this time, a Prekness race has brought you a prize fund of one or two million dollars, and the Belmont race, I think Chiji is also very sure, this is another one or two million dollars." Wang Ye was a little envious, Chiji's prize money in this competition was a big income, not to mention that this was not just a matter of competition bonuses.
"It's a lot of money, it's one thing to win money. The sponsorship offers I've received during this time have far exceeded that number. I'm just waiting now, and after Chiji wins the championship in Belmont, I will be able to increase the price again, and I will really make money then. Weida was triumphant. Because this is a huge gain, Wei Da believes that Chiji can win the championship, so he will not sign a sponsorship contract now.
"I see that your racecourse has a lot of business now, and the average average horse is 100,000 US dollars a year, not including those professional racehorses. It's another matter what kind of feed you are a profiteer, I think you just sit at home and collect money, and you should be scolded as a greedy ghost. Wang Ye was a little funny. Because the entrance fee to the racecourse is very high, many people are now scolding Wei Da for being a greedy ghost and a profiteer.
Wei Da shrugged his shoulders, what others said actually had nothing to do with him. He just earns his money; Wei Da is absolutely confident and confident, because Chi Ji can win the Belmont race, so that Wei Da's horse farm fame can soar again, Wei Da is not worried that this is the peak of Chi Ji's achievements.
A lot of people are very optimistic about Chiji's performance in Belmont. They are all artificial, and they can achieve better performance. Because now Chiji has encountered the competition it is best at. Because from the information obtained during this period of time, it seems that Chiji is also in a very good state. So there is no need to worry at all, from the fact that Chiji's odds for winning the championship are constantly being lowered, it can be known that everyone now understands that Chiji is the real favorite.
Wei Da has absolute confidence in Chiji, and he also believes that Chiji can perform better. It's just that this time the cheering group doesn't seem to need to be mobilized, and although the Belmont race is very attractive, not everyone is as idle as Weida, and they still have their own things to do.
Eduardo and Wang Ye will not go this time, because they still have a lot of work at hand; Perhaps Belmont is an attraction for them, and they would certainly like to see Chi Ji show off. But it's the work that counts. What they need is to earn money to support their families and do their own business.
It was enough to take Angela and Old Fox with them. Anyway, everyone is relatively idle now, and they belong to the kind of real horse fans. It's certainly fun to go to Belmont Racetrack to see the races; is also cheering for Chiji, they all believe that Chiji will continue to maintain excellent form, and they all believe that Chiji can make persistent efforts to win the last hurdle of the Triple Crown Competition.
"Chiji, a three-year-old guy from Abilene, Texas. From the cheers of everyone, you can tell that this young man who has just won the Grand Prix at Prekness is very favored. This is what it does best, and long-distance races are the favorites of Chiji, who has amazing stamina. "Chiji is in the fifth track, which is a very good position, and it is also considered a very advantageous track; From the moment he walked into the ring, he was able to get a lot of cheers, and it was clear that his excellent performance in the race from Prekness had given him a lot of support.
The triumphant Wei Da likes these cheers to Chi Ji very much, which makes Wei Da full of a sense of accomplishment; Chiji's outstanding performance not only brought Wei Da enough bonuses and the like, but most importantly, it satisfied Wei Da's somewhat sullen psychology. Although he doesn't like those media, it doesn't mean that Wei Da doesn't like those cheers.
"Chiji's perfect start, as the biggest favorite to win the championship, Chiji has more and more wonderful performances in the starting stage that it is not good at!" Wei Da is very satisfied, this is a commentator who understands horses and Chiji, and Wei Da likes what these guys say.
"Acceleration, Chiji's signature acceleration has begun! Now everyone wants to know if Chiji can run 2,400 meters at a sprint speed all the time, which is a challenge for Chiji! There is not the slightest fatigue, it doesn't have any heavy breathing, every step is so light! The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and this is Chiji's excellent performance, and its stamina and speed surprise everyone! "It's no wonder that the commentator has been paying attention to Chiji, but because Chiji is in the lead, and when Chiji is almost five positions ahead in the halfway race, it is enough to show that Chiji will win the championship!
Wei Da was very happy, although Chiji couldn't break the record, but winning the championship with a lead of more than ten positions was enough to be exciting, a huge lead. Wei Da is also looking forward to winning the championship by 32 positions ahead of the legendary horse racing secretariat, which will be the most popular!
won the championship again, and the long-awaited championship in Belmont once again broke out with its brilliance; And Wei Da also believes that Chiji can perform better, because it is still improving, constantly improving! (To be continued......)
