Chapter 705: Horse Racing (1)
After Chen Yi used up his skills, each of the fourteen horses entered the designated starting bar, which was movable, with wheels, and could be stowed away or stretched, because the circumference of the track at Sha Tin Racecourse was 1,900 meters, and sometimes the middle and long distance events of the horses reached 2,200 meters, so it was impossible to set a fixed column.
And as the horses and jockeys get ready to step in, fans who have finished betting can't help but swarm from the stands to the side of the track.
As the opening bell sounded, the gate of the starting block was quickly raised, and the 14 runners rode forward, speeding along the green grass track, rushing to the finish line like arrows off the string.
At this moment, the fans who were standing by the track cheered wildly, holding up the bet slips in their hands, shouting loudly the numbers of the horses they bought, cheering for the jockeys and horses, while a host on the edge of the track also spoke Cantonese to the TV audience to introduce the horses to the TV audience.
In the member area, there are also many people who stood up, holding binoculars and watching the stadium, in their opinion, watching on the screen is far less exciting than watching the scene.
Even if Chen Yi was very calm before, he couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere of the scene, stood up from the sofa, and looked at the track outside the glass window.
Under the influence of various elements of the body, as well as the effect of his practice of Tai Chi health exercises, his eye vision has been very significantly increased, the faint myopia that he used to be in school has disappeared, and now looking at the track, he can clearly see the characteristics of the horses and the facial features of the jockey, which is beyond the scope of ordinary people's vision.
At this moment. Fourteen horses had just started. A lot of horses go hand in hand. But there were also two horses running ahead, and the same one horse was behind.
However, Chen Yi clearly knows that the backwardness that has just begun does not mean that it will definitely fall behind in the end, and the explosive power of some horses in an instant is very terrifying.
And as the speed increases, the jockey, who was originally sitting on the horse, in order to better control the horse. To ensure that he did not fall off the horse, he left the horse's back with his buttocks, half-bowed, his legs tightly between the horses, and then galloped wildly.
"The leader is now the number four, and the number two and six are closely behind, these three horses have gradually opened up the distance from the horse racing horses behind, according to the favorite, the second horse Happy Boy is the favorite to win the race, can he win the championship? Ah, horse number two crossed horse number four at once. I took the lead and put the position inward in the circle and did not give other racehorses a chance to overtake. ”
Listening to the quick Cantonese commentary on the phone, with Chen Yi's Cantonese level, it was really difficult to listen, and he couldn't help but translate what he saw into the TV commentary.
At this time, seeing that the No. 2 horse Happy Boy he chose won the lead, Wang Shijie showed a smile on his face, and then looked at the No. 5 horse selected by Chen Yi, which was still in the middle of the position, and he couldn't rush up at all, and the mocking look on his face was a little heavier.
Chen Yi smiled slightly, looked at the track, and turned a blind eye to Wang Shijie's mockery, he could clearly observe that although the No. 5 horse was in the middle, it had always maintained a favorable position and could overtake it at any time.
The number five horse's body is not the best, but it is very explosive, and its character and mental activity have a great effect on the victory, as for the jockey, it is the same, want to get the first, and its strength and toughness are also the best.
Coupled with the primary beast taming technique he had previously performed, the speed at which this horse would definitely burst out in a minute was definitely not to be underestimated.
"Now that we're halfway through the 1,000 meters, we can see the situation on the field, it's clear that the first horse is still the second horse, followed by the sixth horse, and the fifth horse is the next horse."
Listening to the commentary in the live broadcast and watching the live competition, it was also a special taste, and seeing the No. 5 horse chasing after him, Wang Shijie's face changed, but when he saw that the No. 5 horse was still some distance away from his No. 2 horse, he still maintained a confident smile on his face.
"In the last 200 meters, the No. 5 horse burst out with amazing strength, overtaking the No. 6 horse, only half a position away from the No. 2 horse, and now all the competitors are desperately chasing the distance between each other."
Chen Yi smiled, at this moment, all the jockeys' buttocks were still in mid-air, their legs were tightly clamping the horses, and their hands were holding the reins of the horses, constantly driving the horses' farts to sprint towards the finish line, getting closer and closer to the finish line, and the cheers of everyone on the scene were getting louder and louder.
Looking at the situation on the field, identifying some of the conditions of several horses, he nodded slightly, catching up, in an instant.
"One hundred meters, one hundred meters, the No. 5 horse has caught up with the No. 2 horse, and it is on a par with it, oh, the No. 5 horse suddenly broke out again, overtook the No. 2 horse, overtook the No. 2 horse, and is now in the lead, fifty meters, only the last fifty meters are left, and we can see that the No. 2 horse is under the control of the jockey, desperately trying to overtake the No. 2 horse and regain the first place."
"Horse No. 5 is getting faster and faster, and the distance from No. 2 is getting farther and farther, oh, No. 5 successfully crossed the line and won first place in the first race, and we will watch the replay later to give you an accurate broadcast of the next position."
Subsequently, on the huge screen at the competition site, the ranking of the competition was displayed, the first place, the fifth military merit, the completion time of fifty-seven seconds and sixty-zero, the second place, the second happy boy, the completion time of fifty-seven seconds and ninety-two, the third place, the number six horse wine confidante, the completion time, fifty-seven seconds and ninety-six, and then, their odds were also displayed one by one.
The first place No. 5 military horse, the number of bettors is the least among the top three, and the odds of winning are an astonishing twenty-two, while the second place Happy Boy Horse, the number of bettors is the largest, the odds of winning are six .three, and the third place confidant, the odds of winning are eleven.
After some explanations by Xiao Shenghua and looking at the odds on the screen, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, different from the odds he thought of the number of bets, the odds displayed on the big screen of horse racing are multiples of the principal, that is, the principal of your bet, multiplied by the odds, is the money you win.
The odds of winning a military horse reached 22, which is equivalent to a bonus of 220 Hong Kong dollars for buying a bet with 10 Hong Kong dollars, and his 10 bets represent 2,200 Hong Kong dollars.
Next, the top three jockeys and their horses appeared in front of the audience with great vigour, and posed for photos with some Jockey Club celebrities, around the appearance area, the winning fans were ecstatic shouting, while some losing fans either sighed or scolded.
Looking at the handsome appearance of the No. 5 horse and the jockey, which was applauded by some people, Wang Shijie's previous confident look suddenly turned a little black.
The horses he chose in some events, among which there was no No. 5 horse at all, except for the position of winning more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, the other selected single wins, consecutive wins, triple lottery completely destroyed, tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, won back 10,000 yuan.
If it was in other circumstances, he didn't care about the tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, but now it was a contest between him and Chen Yi, before he kept saying that it was impossible for the No. 5 horse to win, and mocked him in every way, but now he is completely stupid.
And some of the wealthy people in the membership area had already heard the ridicule in Wang Shijie's mouth before, and knew what number of horses Chen Yi had chosen, and at this time, seeing the victory of the No. 5 military merit horse, they looked at Wang Shijie's blackened face and showed a bright smile.
"Mr. Wang, the field is unpredictable, and until the end, no one is sure who will win the first place." Chen Yi said with a slight smile, the previous mockery was nothing, and this final result was the biggest blow to Wang Shijie.
Wang Shijie also came back to his senses at this time, and his face regained a smile, "Mr. Chen, sometimes, luck can't always guard a person, relying on luck, there will be a day of failure." ”
"What Mr. Wang said is very true, please help me exchange this lottery slip for huàn, thank you." Chen Yi nodded to Wang Shijie with a smile, and then said politely to the service staff next to him.
"Help me redeem it, Mr. Chen, you don't have the courage to make a big bet, I'm afraid the money you won is very disappointing." Wang Shijie also handed over the color slip to the service staff, while fooling Chen Yi to place a big bet.
In his opinion, Chen Yi is definitely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, just luck, he must fool Chen Yi into a gambler and let him make a big bet, so that he can lose even more.
"Two hundred Hong Kong dollars, won more than three thousand Hong Kong dollars, it is indeed a little less, thank you Mr. Wang for reminding me." Chen Yi smiled slightly, but his eyes did not show the kind of gambler's eyes to see money, in his opinion, this is just an entertainment, not a money-making game.
The odds of the position are much lower than the single win, and it can be said that some people also got off the position of the fifth horse, so in the single win, Chen Yi got 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, but in the position, he only won more than 800 Hong Kong dollars.
Then, the preparations for the second race began, and the fourteen horses of the race were unveiled one by one in the appearance area, which once again attracted the cheers of the crowd.
Chen Yi also appraised the fourteen horses and jockeys, and soon, the characteristics of the horses and jockeys completely appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Chen, I don't know how many horses you have taken a fancy to this time, you must place a big bet, so that you can win more." After the appearance, Wang Shijie said to Chen Yi with a faint smile on his face.
Chen Yi nodded and smiled, looked at a horse and said, "This time I have taken a fancy to the No. 3 horse, I think it will definitely win." (To be continued......)
