"Cheer up, man!" Angela patted Wei Da funny, maybe because Wei Da first shot several shuttle guns at the shooting range, and because Wang Ye brought a large group of people over to play basketball without saying hello before, so Wei Da may have played crazy, which also made Wei Da a little drowsy.

Wei Da, who was excited, rubbed his eyes and sat up, he was busy with the barbecue, he was really embarrassed to doze off, especially when he saw the playful eyes of Emma and Wang Ye, which also made Wei Da a little embarrassed. Dozing off so early is definitely a lack of energy.

"I still like roast lamb shanks, this thing is amazing!" Wei Da, who coughed dryly, took the beer and picked up the brush to brush the leg of lamb and sprinkle seasonings; Although the two families live closer to each other now, it is also very interesting for the two families to get together from time to time to have a small barbecue or something, anyway, the relationship is very good, and it must be interesting to get together and chat.

"Da, Ye has been injured by you, I think you need to comfort him." As soon as Emma's words were finished, Wang Ye, who was annoyed and angry, jumped up; Not to find Wei Da for revenge, but to find his daughter-in-law who is not angry, of course he knows that Emma is obviously joking that he was knocked down on the basketball court, this is not a very face-saving thing, especially Wei Dana is still a normal action.

"Don't talk about that, let's barbecue. If you ladies like beer, they drink beer, and if you don't like beer, you go to Weida's house, there are still a lot of fruit juices and drinks. Wang Ye was not polite at all, turning the beef on the baking sheet. Although it was only four people, there were a lot of baked things; Wei Da and Wang Ye are both quite edible, especially Wei Da is a big stomach. Therefore, although it is four people at a barbecue, it can eat six or seven people.

"Roast me two corn cobs, and I'm getting some leeks, I heard that thing is strong or something." Wei Da hummed a song and roasted a leg of mutton, roasting a leg of mutton requires some skills, to master the heat; Relatively speaking, roast beef, vegetables and the like are relatively convenient, anyway, the barbecue sauce is ready-made, as long as it is not too stupid, you can learn it and master it.

Listen to the music. Chatting, drinking, and eating barbecue, Wei Da felt that his current life was really comfortable. It's comfortable; Cut up some roasted leg of lamb and feed it to the lynx, these two guys were more affectionate to Weida when they ate meat, and the two lazy guys' biggest hobbies now were sleeping and eating.

"It's almost May, and your family's Chiji is about to start the game. Kentucky Derby. It's hard to get started. The first leg of the Triple Crown! Wang Ye and Wei Da clinked glasses, it was about to be May, and International Labor Day may have nothing to do with them, anyway, they are bosses who want to take a holiday; And the biggest thing in May is the Treble, which Weida is very concerned about.

"The current Chiji is still a little difficult, and it still hasn't completely grown. I estimate that it will take another two or three years for Chiji to reach his peak, and a three-year-old horse is still a pony, and it will be at the peak when he is six or seven years old. Although my family is very good. However, there is still some pressure to win the Treble right away. "Although Wei Da has absolute confidence in Chiji, he is also self-aware; Chiji is very good though. But it is basically impossible for Chiji to win the championship now.

"Actually, I don't think Chiji can continue to win the championship, now we don't have any requirements for his results, this little guy is happy." Angela is also very concerned about this matter, although Chiji has participated in competitions such as the Breeders' Cup, and even won the championship of a two-year-old horse; But the traditional Triple Crown and the Three-Year-Old Classic are the main aspects of horse racing, and it's a truly competitive new stage.

"I've also watched some of its competitions, in fact, Chiji is already very good, I think it can compete for the championship!" Emma is full of confidence in Chiji, and she and Wang Ye went to the racecourse to see Chiji, although Chiji doesn't care about them very well. "Chiji has won first in several races, and I found out that Chiji's worst result this year is fourth, which is already a great result, and his performance is very consistent."

Weida and Angela looked at each other and smiled, it wasn't that Emma's words were ridiculous, it was actually Emma's words that tickled the itch; Chiji's entry into the three-year-old race is indeed relatively average, which is also expected. Generally speaking, this is just what we expect from Weida, and many two-year-olds do well, but when they enter the three-year-old race, they often do not perform well.

The two-year-old horse is different, the king of the two-year-old horse has won several races after entering the three-year-old race, and its results have been very stable, even if it can't win the championship, then it is in the top three. This has made Chiji's value continue to grow, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chiji still has great potential, and Chiji can achieve better results.

"It doesn't matter, the Triple Crown isn't really very big, it's like the Kentucky derby, it's like the winner is a hundred to two million dollars. I don't care, it's a drizzle for me. "Wei Da doesn't want to set too high a goal now, because it will be unfair to Chiji, who is now very difficult to compete with those horses in their prime; So now he is just talking about the prize money, and it seems that he can't look down on the Triple Crown.

The traditional hot spot of horse racing in the United States is the Kentucky Derby, which, along with the Billy's Stake and the Bemont Stakes, forms the U.S. Triple Crown for three-year-olds. However, in recent years, the Breeders' Cup held at the end of the year has challenged the Treble at the beginning of the year to be the decider of the three-year-old race, and they have also had a significant influence on the selection of other annual winners.

Although the Treble has a long history, there is still a gap between it and the Breeders' Cup in terms of prize money; The prize money for the Breeder's Cup is high, with a prize of five million for the winner of a three-year-old horse. And the Triple Crown, which is why the Breeder's Cup is becoming more and more recognized, at least the owner's recognition, is really too much prize money, and even all the prize money of the Triple Crown in one race of the Breeder's Cup.

For example, Kentucky states that 80% of winnings are returned to bettors, and the remaining 20% is redistributed according to the following percentage. State taxes, local taxes, security taxes, fire taxes, and other miscellaneous fees, including thoroughbred breeding funds, racetrack operating costs, and the prize money for real horse owners, jockeys, and trainers is actually not very much, less than 10% of the horse color, which means that you can get two million dollars in prize money after a race.

"I'm a little worried about Chiji's physical fitness right now, it's going to meet the big ones next. Trouble, not only because of the strength of its competitors, but also because the competition during this period is too intensive. Angela was a little worried, although she didn't have too many requirements for Chiji's results in the Triple Crown Competition, she must have paid considerable attention to Chiji's competition; Concern is chaos, and now Angela is a little worried.

It is not easy to win the American Series because the Triple Crown is almost always held in May, which means that in just one month, these horses need to travel to most of the United States, which is a huge test of the horses' physical fitness.

If the Kentucky Derby is a pearl in American horse racing, then the Triple Crown, which includes the Belgian Grand Prix and the Belmont Grand Prix, is a crown encrusted with pearls. And historically, the horses that can win these three races at the same time will also have a name that shines even more brightly than the king of horses - the Triple Crown. However, this honor has been vacant for 36 years. After the famous horse vowed to win the triple crown in 1978, no horse has won the triple crown again.

Wei Da is not expecting any treble at all, and now he actually has some expectations for this triple crown. This intensive schedule is difficult for other horses, but it doesn't seem to have such a serious impact on Chiji; Especially in Belmont, this may be a real opportunity for Chiji.

The "Championship Touchstone" is a Belmont nickname because it is the final leg of the Triple Crown; What's more, compared to the previous two races, the Belmont race has a longer track, which may be good news for Chiji. Because Chiji's endurance is the biggest cost, it basically won't feel tired.

The Triple Crown is still worth looking forward to for Weida, but he is not a rider at all, so he is honestly staying at home now; David and Kyle have already set off with Chiji, and they will prepare well. As for Weida, he and Angela arrived at the ring before the start of the race, and no one demanded more from the owner.

Happy barbecue dinner, the two families who are in a good mood are also chatting about some gossip and some interesting things they have encountered in the recent past.

Weida felt that he actually had some other things to do before leaving for the Kentucky Derby, and for him to think about it now; Because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it's time to swim in the lake, and now it's time to consider using the pier behind the house.

Although this is only a tributary of the Brazos River, the water level is still good, so buying a smaller yacht is no problem at all. Wei Da is still looking forward to driving a yacht oil river, driving a yacht to go fishing, and even crocodile fishing, these are all new game projects that Wei Da is looking forward to.

Anyway, the family has already built a dock, so now it is natural to make the best use of everything; If you have a marina, then you should have a yacht, which is the best match. As for the money, it's not that kind of luxury yacht anyway, and it doesn't really need much money. (To be continued......)
