"Haha, it's true that I've thought about it a little too much, so I'll tell you some information about Hong Kong horse racing first, and let someone send over some horse racing data maps later, combined with tomorrow's race, and talk to you about some popular horses and jockeys." Hearing Chen Yi's words, Xiao Shenghua laughed, he really felt that he was cautious and had thought too much.

Chen Yi nodded, he knew very little about Hong Kong horse racing, and he was limited to the name of Hong Kong horse racing, and he didn't know anything about the rules and events of the race, including betting.

However, this does not mean that he will definitely lose, no matter how strong a person's experience in watching horses is, it is not as strong as his identification skills.

Under Xiao Shenghua's explanation, Chen Yi has a general understanding of Hong Kong horse racing, Hong Kong is not as good as Macau, gambling is legalized, in Hong Kong, in addition to horse racing, some other gambling activities are illegal.

Horse racing in Hong Kong began in 1841 when the British arrived and cleared a swamp in Happy Valley to open up a racecourse, which has been in operation ever since, only suspended for a few years during the Second World War.

There are two major races in Hong Kong, the first is naturally the famous Happy Valley, and the second is also the largest of them, the Sha Tin Racecourse, which can accommodate 55,000 spectators, while Sha Tin has an even larger capacity of 80,000 people.

The Hong Kong Horse Racing is held on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from the end of August to the end of June, with Wednesdays being night races and two days of weekends being day races.

Whether a racehorse will win a race in a race. There are many factors that play a role. It's not just about the horses themselves. It is also related to the trainer, jockey and horse owner, in addition to the schedule, the course, the track, the stall and the harness, there are certain factors.

In the following explanations. Chen Yi also has a lot of understanding of horse racing betting items, and there are a lot of betting items, including guessing the first place in a race, guessing the top three, and guessing the ranking of several races in a row.

For ordinary people who don't know horses, they can only bet according to the horse's ranking table or the number of bets, and for those who know horses. There are a lot of factors that are usually studied to determine which horse is likely to win.

Subsequently. Xiao Shenghua's staff knocked on the door with a pile of materials, and after receiving the information, Xiao Shenghua began to explain to Chen Yi the strength of the horses that will participate in the competition tomorrow.

At present, there are more than 1,100 racehorses in Hong Kong, all of which are thoroughbred horses imported from all over the world, and their value is generally more than one million Hong Kong dollars, and some can even reach millions or more.

In addition to providing special living and training facilities for horses, the Jockey Club is also responsible for entrusting professional trainers to breed and train horses, and each of these trainers must pass the Jockey Club test before they can be licensed.

For the consumption of each horse, it also made Chen Yi staggered, the monthly consumption of each horse must be more than 10,000 yuan, which is really more than raising a horse, which is more than ordinary people to feed a family.

According to the information on the data, Chen Yi also knew that one of the horses in Hong Kong with the highest prize money was named Claw Emperor Lingyu, with a cumulative prize of more than 70 million yuan, and was one of the top ten horses in the world, with a record of 27 battles and 10 wins.

Tomorrow is Saturday, so there will be a day race, and the day race is usually ten times a day, held from one o'clock in the afternoon, basically the horse runs a race, it only takes about a minute or two, and some distances are even less than a minute.

However, the preparation time for each game is very long, ten games are held, and each game takes about half an hour.

Ten races will be held tomorrow, and basically every race will be different, and each race will be decided two weeks before the race, and depending on the event, the trainer will train each horse to ensure that the horse can have an advantage in the race.

However, each horse is different, but the jockey will race continuously, depending on the allocation of the horse club.

A maximum of fourteen horses can be involved in each race, sometimes full, while sometimes ten or even nine horses can compete in one event.

For tomorrow's ten races, Xiao Shenghua already has a detailed table, which clearly states the horses and jockeys participating in each race, including trainers and so on.

The number of horses in the Jockey Club is the largest, generally more than 1,000, while the number of trainers and jockeys is the least, more than twenty or thirty.

Seeing the names of some of the participating horses, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh a little, some of these names were very majestic, but some of them were pure and spoofs, and they couldn't compare to the names of the horses in the eight Lang Shining horse pictures he got.

For example, there was a game in which there were several horses with the names of good balls, spicy and sober, drunk and victorious, strong and strong, and some names even made Chen Yi laugh out loud.

This is what kind of master is followed, what is the name, the owner of the good ball is estimated to be playing football, spicy to wake up, drunk and win, think about it and know what their master loves the most, and a thousand cups of pride, no need to think, you know that you are a master of the wine field.

Ten races, at least a hundred horses, but Xiao Shenghua did not explain one by one, but just selected some of them with good strength and high rankings, and made some explanations to Chen Yi, the probability of these horses winning is far more than that of other horses, of course, everything is not absolute, in the arena, anything can happen.

However, they only met with Wang Shijie this time, and they did not specialize in horse racing, so they did not need to study so carefully.

From more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Shenghua talked to Chen Yi until six or seven o'clock, and talked for nearly three hours, and it can be said that most of the things about Hong Kong horse racing were explained like Chen Yi.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shenghua rubbed his eyes, "Okay, Xiaoyi, that's basically it, these materials are left here, you take a good look, although it will not make you a horse racing master immediately, but it can also let you understand horse racing activities, so that Wang Shijie's dismount will lose its effect, as for winning or losing, it will be secondary." ”

"Uncle Hua, I know, thank you." Chen Yi nodded, Xiao Shenghua said these things about horse racing, so that he can devote himself to horse racing tomorrow without any preparation.

Without this information, his ignorance of horse racing would have been an obstacle to his victory.

Xiao Shenghua patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, "It's nothing, you finally came to Hong Kong to ask me to help, but you can only help you with this little favor." ”

"Uncle Hua, we still need to be so polite, this Wang Shijie made such a gesture, it's not so simple, go, I'll send you out." Chen Yi smiled, what Wang Shijie is calculating, you can know after seeing it tomorrow.

After sending Xiao Shenghua away, Chen Yi returned to the hotel and continued to study the information on the table, in addition to some information about the horses, there were also photos stored in zài.

It's just that in terms of identification, you need to see the entity to identify, and even if the photo is identified, it will only be the information of the photo, not the information of the horse.

However, the victory of horses is related to the number jù, and it is also related to their state at that time, just like some horses are very strong, if they are in a bad mood during the race, or some minor diseases are not discovered, it will naturally affect their performance on the field, so they must wait until tomorrow to go to the racecourse to make an appraisal in order to get the certainty of winning.

In the process of learning painting, he also had some interest in horse themes, and also tried to draw some horses, after getting Lang Shining's eight porcelain plate paintings, he also entered a long period of copying, and had a basic understanding of some characteristics of horses.

However, before, he did not have the opportunity to see some horses, so he did not paint much, basically only flowers and birds, landscapes, but now he has the opportunity to see some horses, which makes him very happy, and these horses may become some of the material for his paintings.

There are many famous horse painters in history, Han Gan, Li Gonglin, Zhao Mengfu, Lang Shining and Xu Beihong, among which each of the famous horse painters almost all have a great understanding of horses, and real horses as teachers, watch and depict the horses seen, just like Xu Beihong, during the early years of study in Paris, he often went to the horse farm to draw sketches, and studied the anatomical principles of horses, there are thousands of sketches, which laid a solid foundation for his later creation of horses of various postures.

Chen Yi felt that going to the horse farm tomorrow would be secondary to meeting Wang Shijie, and the important thing was that he would record the appearance and posture of each horse to lay some foundation for him to draw horses in the future.

After studying for a while, he came to the hotel restaurant for dinner, and then he went around the harbor in front of the hotel, the scenery of this harbor is a prosperous area, and the green mountains and green waters of Qingcheng Mountain form a sharp contrast.

The next morning, Xiao Shenghua first took Chen Yi to familiarize himself with the Sha Tin Racecourse, which is very vast, with two races, namely grass and mud, and the green grass looks very comfortable.

Today's race, which will be held at 1 p.m., will be held at 1 p.m., with a total of 10 races, as an out-of-town tourist, if you want to enter the racecourse to watch the race, there are three ways, one is to choose to join the tour company's horse racing tour, and the second is to spend HK$130 to buy a tourist-only membership badge, which can be viewed in a better seat.

The third is to spend 10 Hong Kong dollars to watch the racecourse public gallery, which is also the way chosen by many Hong Kong citizens, of course, if you go late and have already played five races, then those who go in after that will have a free ticket event. (To be continued......)
