Chapter 119: The Crippled Rider (Three More Requests for Subscription!) )
"You said this is the first time we've met Angela's parents, this is more or less formal, you might as well go to the horse racing side to meet!" My mother complained a little about Wei Da, and originally planned to find a time to meet Angela's parents officially, but Wei Da planned to meet directly when she was racing.
"It's not a coincidence, of course they go to cheer when I race. First of all, let's get acquainted, this is not a formal meeting. Take a moment to come and sit in our house, and that's the official meeting. Wei Da had a headache, since his mother's opinion was very big, then it would be good to take Angela's parents to the ranch to sit down.
It was finally time for Chiji to hit the track, and it was also the first race of Weida's rider career; In fact, this is not an official competition, and it is not a high-level competition. But it is very necessary for Wei Da and Chi Ji to adapt to the game a little, and then they can go to the higher level of competition, which is only a warm-up game now.
Kyle Sr. and his assistants had already taken Chiji to Dallas to prepare, and Weida arrived in Dallas to get used to it a little before he could start the game. Wei Da's physical condition is the envy of old Kyle, he has always been full of energy, and there is no so-called trough at all, so this is also the reason why Wei Da can play when he arrives at the arena, and this is also the reason why Old Kyle does not need Wei Da and Chi Ji to go to the arena together, but not only because Wei Da is the boss.
The racetrack is located in the Dallas area of Grand Prairie, and this magnificent racecourse called Lone Star Park is also a major racecourse; It operates four days a week and is very popular. Because horse racing is an important way of life for Americans. Horse racing is really popular here.
Weida drove to the racecourse and looked from afar. The parking lot is full of cars. Wei Da drove the car into the door, and a waiter in a red T-shirt had already run over. Pull the car door and hand them the keys and the car; I got a marker, which is a card for the location of picking up the car and parking, which can be said to be very convenient.
When you get to the stadium's viewing restaurant, the third and fourth floors are restaurants; Angela and her parents are also here, and Wei Da will naturally meet them, and everyone will simply meet and get to know each other.
"Hello, Da." Seeing Wei Da coming over with his parents, Old Fox showed a rare smile at Wei Da. In fact, it was also to say hello to Wei Da's parents.
"Dad, Mom, this is Angela's dad Mark. Fox, it's her mom Marina. Fox, this is her brother York. Fox; Just call them Old Fox, Marina, and York. Wei Da naturally started as an introducer, just say Lao Mei's name simply, the full name is still too difficult, "This is my father, mother, Wei Hui, Huang Yue, you can call them Hui and Yue." ”
Although it is a slight language barrier. But the atmosphere is still very good; Since it is in the restaurant, of course, there is no shortage of food, although there is a game soon, Wei Da also needs to control his weight a little, which can also reduce the burden of Chiji. But it's still good to try a hot dog, and a pancake is good.
"Reach. I think you must be envious of me right now! "Little York, the bear child, cut the steak, forked the steak in one hand and held the juice in the other, and was hungry for Weida; Don't look at Wei Da is still eating hot dogs or something, but everyone can see that Wei Da is eating in moderation. He is a big stomach, which Angela's family knows.
"I'm going to have a fight right away and now I can control my appetite. Because I am a person with strict self-requirements, I will be successful very quickly. Because I worked hard enough. Although Wei Da wants to have a cold beer, he can only watch it dryly now, but envy is envy, Wei Da will definitely not admit it.
Little York was eating steak proudly, this little guy is now in the time of growing his body, and he may just want to be hungry for Weida, so he is very happy to eat. And Weida's parents and Angela's family are similar, although the chat is a little stumbling, but basically they still eat very happily.
"Da, let's watch some races here first, you need to watch these races live." Old Fox is also very concerned about Weida's game, and the game is about to start soon, but Weida's game is in the afternoon, so there is still time to chat more and take a look at other games.
There is a small TV next to each table in the tourist restaurant, which receives real-time information about the game; And a few people are also sitting next to the window, looking into the distance, it is the vast and boundless racecourse, and not far away is the big screen live information. And whether it is the big screen in the stadium or the small TV in the restaurant, the information is synchronized, so you can also watch the horse race while eating food, which is also something that makes people feel very enjoyable.
"I know that my cooperation with Chiji during this period has been really good, and I have also studied a lot of games. I participated in a two-year-old race, and I believe that I have no horse to run in the distance of 2,100 meters. "Wei Da is very confident, because Chiji has made great progress; It is also because the current opponent is not the strongest, so it is still very certain for Chiji to run an excellent result and get the first victory of his career.
"I've watched some of the races and it's been very good, so as long as you don't make mistakes, I'm sure you'll get a good result." Although the name Chiji is more difficult for foreigners, the name is now very proficient for Angela's family.
Wei Da smiled, it seemed that his overweight and overweight rider still looked difficult to make people feel more confident; Everyone now seems to have more confidence in Chiji, and Wei Da seems to have become a drag.
Although he seems to be an amateur as a rider, Wei Da believes that he will definitely be able to complete a perfect match with Chiji, and he is not worried about this at all, because he knows that he can compete with Chiji at the best, and he believes that achieving good results is not a problem for Chiji at all, it is just a small test.
After chatting with his parents for a while, now that Angela's family is here to take care of them, there is no horse racing for Wei Da; Now he is also going to start preparing for the game, and the old Kyle is now waiting for Wei Da to pass, although he has absolute confidence in Chiji, but this is the first official game, so it is necessary to adapt in advance.
Angela: They're staying here at the tourist restaurant, and they'll definitely go over and take a look at the game; But now it's basically just about cheering Wei Da up, and now these things still need to be handled by Wei Da himself, and others can't help at all.
Wei Da went all the way to the horse farm, and the horses were basically ready; Chiji had arrived at the racecourse a day earlier, and was now staying in the stable.
"BIGRED IS IN GREAT SHAPE, I CAN FEEL THE EXCITEMENT OF IT!" Old Kyle patted Chiji's neck, he was quite satisfied with Chiji's excitement, it was really difficult for a horse racing without excitement to run well; "It's the only one in our racecourse, but here it sees a lot of its kind. Now that its competitive spirit has exploded, Da, remember our tactics! ”
Wei Da patted Chi Ji's neck, Chi Ji's condition did seem to be very good, and Wei Da could tell from Chi Ji's constant digging and snorting that it was now a little eager to try. In fact, Wei Da is almost the same now, changing into a jockey outfit, wearing a hard hat, goggles and other equipment, Wei Da also feels that he can now walk into the arena with Chiji.
There are constantly some racehorses coming out of the stables, and there are constantly some horse trainers leading the horses back; While there are many people who are happy about the good results in horse racing, there are also many more people who are frustrated by the poor results. The rider complains about the horse owner, and the horse owner scolds the rider. There are all kinds of things in the world here, some people are happy and some are sad, because this is a competitive sport, the winner is the king, and the loser is the loser, and what people remember is only the horse racing that ran in the front!
Although it was only a small race, it was a race for the foals who had just hit the track; But there is something appealing about it, because it is known that there may be some potential in these vests, and because there is a greater unpredictability here. Except for those cases where there are some photos or materials that allow the viewer to guess the horses, it is basically difficult to have more information that can be used as a reference.
The eighth race seemed to be an accident, when the audience was stunned when they saw the introduction of the two-year-old pony's race one after another; It's normal for a rider to be nameless, even if it's Asian; But a big guy who is more than 1.7 meters and weighs more than 130 pounds is obviously blasphemous to the racehorse, and such a rider is not worthy of standing on the track at all!
As for the name of the racehorse, these big-tongued Americans can't call it anyway; In fact, they don't care about the horse anymore, because the crappy rider will destroy the horse, and it is impossible for him to ride a horse to do well on the track, this is the unanimous opinion of all people, this is the experience they have gained after watching countless horse races!
Wei Da must have been able to know more or less how much others looked down on him, especially when he was wearing a rider's outfit, and when he was in the stable, he could see a lot of people laughing and talking; But Wei Da doesn't care, he will prove himself on the track with Chiji, as for the current fingering, who cares about this!
