Chapter 165: I envy you
A few families are happy and a few are sad, and the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment; The hotbed of upsets, the nightmare of famous horses, this is the charm of horse racing, and this is the attraction of a top race like the Breeders' Cup, because no one knows the final result, because everyone is looking forward to the king who will be born in the most intense two minutes.
Wei Da really didn't care much about the first day of the game, and Wei Da only paid a little attention to the game; In the United States, the majority of dirt races are held, but the grass races are more often won by European horses. This is really a depressing thing for arrogant Americans, but they can't help it, although the clay court is their pride, but losing on the grass again and again, especially watching the Europeans celebrate at their own doorstep, this is very depressing for the Americans.
Generally speaking, the course of the racecourse is generally grass and mud (sand, earth). When the grass is trampled by horses' hooves, the surface is uneven, which can easily injure the horses, and it is very expensive to repair the damaged turf. Although the mud ground is easy to flat, the dust raised by the horse's hooves during the race is harmful to the health of people and horses, and the muddy ground after rain is even more slippery and easy to fall.
Wei Da has also participated in several competitions, so he also knows the difficulties of clay races; Every time I play a game, my face is covered with mud, and I need to take a good shower, at least I need to wash my face. As for the grass court game, it is not yet the direction of Wei Da and Chiji's main attack, and they need to better grasp the current opportunity. Wei Da is not a person who is ambitious, because he knows that the current Chiji still needs to continue to move forward step by step.
With the first day of racing over, it's time for the second day of the Breeders' Cup, and it's time for the Chiji. For Weida, this is the real breeder's cup. Now is also the time for Wei Da and Chi Ji to work hard. Although Wei Da believes that Chi Ji has strength, it can be said that Wei Da will not be blindly arrogant. Because the strength of the opponents is actually good. To be able to enter the Breeder's Cup, then there is no weak hand.
"Chiji's performance has been very good these days. It eats a lot, and its physical fitness is not affected in the slightest. I'm sure you can see that it's in a good mood, and now it's a little eager to try. "Kyle Sr. is full of anticipation, although the horses he has trained have also made it to the top races, but he has not yet won the Breeders' Cup; Although it was not a classic, the two-year-old race was still very valuable by then.
"I can see it's happy now, it's a big stage, this little guy is crazy. It's going to be exciting on a big stage like this. "Owners like Weida still have certain privileges, for example, he has access to the stables, he can watch the races from the field.
As the race progressed, it was time to start the eleventh race, which was the race of the two-year-olds; The distance of 1,700 meters is not a long time, but it is an opportunity for Wei Da and Chiji. Although it is more possible to play the advantage of Chiji if it is a longer distance, but at a distance of 1,700 meters, in the group of two-year-old horses. Chiji's strength is still very good.
'We don't need to know who our opponents are, we don't need to care about their tactics, we're the favourites and we just need to run out of shape. David. In terms of the form we are in training, we need to believe in Chiji's quality and he can win this game. Kyle also started the pre-match tactical arrangement. Chiji's warm-up has ended, and he is about to enter.
"I know. I could feel the excitement of it. Guys, trust me. I can win the game with it. "The rider David is also very excited and looking forward to it, two months ago he still had no job and no horse to ride; At that time, he was pursuing a job opportunity, a chance to fill his stomach.
But now it's different, he has become a full-time rider of Chiji, and although he was originally a rider with some ability, he was basically looking for opportunities in some low-level events. But now it's different, he's a rider in the Breeders' Cup, and although he's not a top rider yet, he's still a bit famous.
David is grateful to Weida for giving him the opportunity to work in his most difficult time; is also because of Wei Da and Chi Ji, the unknown David now has some fame in the industry. David knows that this is an opportunity for himself, although he is very satisfied with his current job and treatment, but he has the opportunity to go to the next level, so he has no reason to give up.
Wei Da is not stingy, according to the current results and David's fame, some salary has been raised, of course, the most important thing is the prize money of the competition; David is now also a full-time rider of Chiji, although there are some horse owners who want to poach him, but he doesn't think those horses have more potential than Chiji. It's not just the owner who chooses the rider, the rider also needs to choose a good horse, so as to ensure a win-win situation.
"I'm going to take it to the track, I know it's basically impossible for me to stand on the track with it now." A staff member came to inform the waiting room, Wei Da originally planned to go directly to the stand with Angela to watch the game; But seeing Chiji's big head rubbing against him, Wei Da suddenly changed his mind.
There is still a distance from the stable to the track, although it is only a short distance of a few hundred meters, but Wei Da feels that this is also a kind of side by side battle with Chiji. He knows that the higher the level of the competition, the greater his influence on Chiji, and now he can basically say that he is not qualified to stand on the track with Chiji, because he will only drag down Chiji's results.
Originally, one of Kyle's assistants played the role of a guide, but when he heard the boss's words, he naturally wouldn't object; As for Angela, she smiled and kissed Wei Da before going to the stage by herself, she knew Wei Da's feelings for Chi Ji, and she also knew that this was indeed Wei Da's rare opportunity.
Wei Da gently supported David to make him ride on horseback, the riders are relatively small, and the saddles of the racing horses are very high, so the riders need some help on the horse. Weida never thought that he was superior to the owner and boss, which is why cowboys like Simon Sr., as well as Kyle and David, and they worked happily with Weida.
Chi Ji was very happy, although Wei Da was just holding the reins, but this excited little guy kept snorting, and he was constantly arching Wei Da with his big head; Although David has a good cooperation with it, Chiji prefers Weida, a crappy rider.
"I really envy you, this is Chiji's first big game, maybe it's also an opportunity for him to become famous in one fell swoop, you can fight with it, this is what I envy, and I know that I can't do anything about those big competitions in the future, maybe I can only lead it into the arena, this is my best treatment." Wei Da was a little emotional, he was really a little envious of David.
"Actually, I envy you too, not just because you're the owner." David, who was riding on horseback, was still in a relaxed mood, although this was his first Breeder's Cup race, and it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous; But gradually, he also calmed down, because he believed in Chiji's strength, and also because Chiji's state can be said to be at its peak.
"I know that Chiji and I are only competing for work, but it is not really acceptable to me. I've seen some of your races, and I'll admit that you may not be able to make Chiji run his best, but being with you is the happiest and most exciting race for him. I've never seen it in my race when an excited person stands up after a run; Maybe it will be happy to run at the front, although it will be motivated by the strength of the opponent, but it is not the most exciting race. "David is really envious of Wei Da, Chi Ji is very smart; The most important thing is that Chiji is a very loyal horse, maybe it only accepts Wei Da, and the others are at most because of work needs, and they don't resist.
Wei Da smirked, this was indeed the category of his pride; Chiji can indeed be said to only trust him alone, and the Prince of Dark Horse is about the same. For Weida, his two horses were raised by himself, and they also had a deep relationship with Weida during this time. They may be able to cooperate with others, but the only one they trust most is Weida.
Touching Chi Ji's head, Wei Da was really happy that he could get his trust; The current Chiji is still a little too young, and it is also because Chiji has not reached his peak state at all. So Wei Da can only resist the impulse in his heart now, because he knows that if he is a rider, then Chiji's performance will really be greatly affected.
Wei Da felt that he still had some small expectations, and if Chiji could reach his peak form, he might be able to fight alongside Chiji in some less important matches. It's very simple, even if your own strength will lag behind, you can still rely on Chiji's absolute strength to win the game, also because those games may not have much impact on Chiji.
Wei Da felt that his plan was still good, but it would take some time now; It needs Chiji to become stronger, and it needs Chiji to stabilize his performance and become a real super horse. So Wei Da is very excited, although Wei Da also hopes to run a really exciting race with Chi Ji; But for now, it's better for everyone.
led Chiji into the arena, which immediately felt the frenzied atmosphere in the racecourse; A top-level race like the Breeders' Cup is a big attraction in itself, and there are a lot of loyal fans. It is also because the current competition is getting more and more exciting, which is some of the highlights, so the mood of the fans is also getting more and more excited, and the good-looking competition is what everyone is looking forward to.
Although he was reluctant, Wei Da knew that he could only do this step; patted Chi Ji's big head and cheered Chi Ji and David a little, Wei Da knew that he needed to leave now, he needed to go to the stand, because he couldn't stay in the venue now. However, Wei Da believes in David, and even more in Chiji, it must be able to do its best! (To be continued......)
