This type of flat speed racing is one of the most commercial horse racing forms today, and it is only about running fast. And, around the question of which horse is faster, a complete system of commercial betting has been developed. In the United States, the horse racing industry could have been renamed the horse racing betting industry. In later generations, there were more than 13,000 horse races in the United States every year. And this number is only the number of regular events, such as the Kentucky Competition.

Among the wealthy horse breeders in the United States, many private races are closed to the public. And the scale of commercial gambling has also been reduced to a wealth game between the rich. Of course, the amount will be huge! The chips in every game are the wealth that ordinary people can only obtain after decades of hard work.

However, for many rich people, this kind of private competition is the coolest. Watching your own horses throw other horses away at a galloping speed can give you an indescribable sense of success. For these rich people, bullying ordinary people is really not capable, and being able to bully rich people of the same level is a great joy in life.

And between these big farmers, there have been countless matches on weekdays. They already know each other's horses well, and they know even the horse's hair well, so they naturally have no interest in racing anything. Today, it is rare for someone of their level to tame a good horse with seemingly infinite potential. Therefore, the interest of these people was immediately aroused.

The distance of the flat speed race is generally between 400 meters and 2,400 meters. And, depending on the age of the jockey and the horse, a certain weight is given. In order to achieve a relatively fair effect. Arton Racecourse has a wide range of running tracks and facilities. In addition, each farmer has his own jockey, which is very convenient for him to participate in regular races or private races. There is only one person for the rest of his life, and there is no jockey.

So, for the rest of his life, James suggested hiring a jockey of decent quality from Tom's horse farm. After all, weight and height for the rest of your life. Completely out of line with jockey's standards.

If you want to become a professional jockey, in addition to understanding the temperament of the horse, learn how to clean the horse, feed the racehorse, clean the stable, equip the horse, and a series of professional knowledge such as various competition rules and racing techniques. You also need to strictly control your body, and your height should not be too high, and you should keep it below 1.65 meters. The body should not be too fat, and it should be kept at about forty-eight kilograms. Also, exercise regularly to stay lean and strong.

Most of the daily diet can only choose multigrain grains. Fruits and vegetables. It's actually about the same as what horses eat. Fatty foods such as fatty meats should never be touched. In addition, alcohol, coffee, tea, and other things that stimulate the body should never be drunk.

In addition, in order to understand the horse without destroying the horse's biological clock, jockeys also need to adapt to the horse's work and rest rules, get up at four in the morning to train the horse, and go to sleep on time at nine in the evening to ensure energy.

And look back on the rest of your life. With a height of more than 1.7 meters and a weight of 150 pounds, if you ride on a horse, the average thoroughbred horse is enough to adapt. However, Yu Sheng simply rejected James's proposal. How can he let someone else ride his tame horse. Besides, even if he agreed, it is estimated that Ryan would not agree. I had to kick two more bones.

So. The other horses can only be allowed to increase the weight according to the calculation of age and male and female. Several farmers were dumbfounded and said. Although they love horse racing, they are not to the point of being in the race themselves. As the saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down, and the risk of horse racing is extremely high. One is not good, and it is not for nothing that people fall off the horse and fall to their deaths.

However, looking at each other's weight of more than 200 catties and beer bellies of different sizes, they can't help but feel a little envious of the rest of their lives.

The 1,800-metre-long track at Arton Racecourse was the first of 1,800 metres after the rest of his life and several farmers. As for money, these rich people didn't care very much, and each of them only bet three or five thousand dollars. After all, they're here to play, not to gamble.

The big farmer present, plus the rest of his life, was a total of five people. Everyone gives a horse to race. James whispered to Yu Sheng: "Mr. Yu, although I know private matches between rich people, sometimes I don't care if I win or lose. However, if you can win these people, the effect will be much better. In addition, these men were not all of their best horses, but they were all British thoroughbreds. Moreover, they have won a certain number of places in various competitions. At a distance of 1,800 meters, Ryan doesn't have much advantage! ”

Yu Sheng nodded, this James is still very useful. Ryan snorted unconcernedly. Yu Sheng slapped Ryan's head twice and said, "You have to run hard today, if you can't win, be careful to be beaten!" Run out with carrots to eat! "Horses are far more fond of carrots than rabbits. Ryan seemed to be able to understand what Yu Sheng meant, and his expression instantly became serious.

As he spoke, the game was about to begin. In this era, there are already rudimentary electronic fences. It's pretty precise. At the moment when the fence opened. Five horses rushed off the track at the same time! Although Ryan does not accept the control of others, he has excellent talents. Several jockeys who have worked with him have already taught Ryan how to race.

So, as soon as he rushed off the runway, Ryan rushed forward like a lightning bolt.

It has to be said that the horse is a masterpiece of nature. It's so good for running. The rest of his life lay on horseback, but felt the wind whistling past his ears. The scene in front of me was fleeting, and the whole space seemed to be blurred. The world record for 1,000 meters set by a thoroughbred is 54 seconds, or about 66.7 kilometers per hour!

As he was running in Ryan, he looked at the horses that were starting together on both sides. The speed of several racehorses is actually about the same. But Ryan was clearly ahead and seemed to be a nose-tip position quicker than the second.

In such a galloping run, 400 meters are fleeting. However, after 400 meters, the thoroughbreds seem to slow down. By the time a thousand meters had passed, Ryan had risen his advantage from a nose tip to a horse's head. At a distance of about 1,500 meters, Ryan actually had an advantage of half a body!

In the next 300 meters, no matter how hard the other thoroughbreds tried, they couldn't catch up with this half of the distance! Ryan crossed the finish line first. At this time, there is already a gap with the last thoroughbred!

There is no doubt about the outcome of this horse race. What is in suspense is Ryan's speed. After the referee determined the time it took for Ryan to run 1,800 meters through a special timer, he exclaimed, "Oh, mygod! This horse ran 1,800 meters in only 100 seconds! ”

In the Hereafter. The world record for thoroughbred horses is 1,000 meters and 54 seconds. That's about 18.5 meters per second. The fastest thoroughbreds run within a kilometer. Once the distance is extended, the speed drops dramatically. And the speed at which Ryan ran, at this distance, is already very amazing! It's only a little slower than the full sprint of the thoroughbred. At this speed, you can already win the championship of the Triple Crown in the United States!

A few farmers who play horse racing all day know what this means – a racehorse with speed and stamina is born! This horse may not be the lightweight dance steps approved by the International Equestrian Federation, but it is definitely the darling of the racecourse!

Several avid horse racing enthusiasts, including James, were crying wolves in the stands for a while. Americans have always loved the details of the beginning of history. These people didn't think about it. They also witnessed this moment in history.

The farmer, who was called Jon by James and weighed at least three hundred pounds, ran over at a galloping speed and said to Yu Sheng, who had just dismounted, "Mr. Yu! Can you grant me a request? ”

"Huh?"

"Let's play Ryan again tomorrow! 10 km long race! If Ryan can beat my Hemingway in the 10km race! I'm willing to buy Ryan for a million dollars! Oh, and Hemingway was a four-year-old Arabian horse! ”

Yu Sheng said: "There is no problem with the game, but no matter what the result of the game is, Ryan will not sell!" ”

"Why? I heard that Mr. Yu bought Lane for only $15,000. ”

"It doesn't make sense. It's not a question of money, either. I've never seen animals just as animals. I have a Chinese purebred dog that I have never intended to abandon since he was my companion. Even though I went into exile from China to the United States. ”

Several farmers were a little helpless when they heard Yu Sheng say this. Americans have always considered dogs to be part of the family. Therefore, many extremely strict animal protection laws have been enacted in later generations. For the rest of his life, from this starting point, he expressed the meaning clearly and clearly. Besides, for the rest of my life. Ryan will be of great use in the future.

However, although Yu Sheng refused to sell Ryan, but. The game still has to go on. After enjoying a dinner party prepared by several farmers for the rest of his life, Ryan was fed a bunch of honey-smeared carrots. It's kind of true to the word.

The feed for racing horses is actually very particular, because horses are grass-fed domestic animals, so it is required that more than 85% of the feed should be high-quality pasture. And, with other ingredients such as: bran, alfalfa, oats, corn, chaff (or chopped straw), barley, flaxseed, carrots, radish, apples, syrup, salt, etc. Different jockeys even have their own exclusive recipes when it comes to feeding their horses. To ensure that the racehorse is able to consume enough nutrients to maintain body consumption.

The rest of my life did not understand. The feed was all prepared with James' help. Only the carrots were fed to Ryan personally for the rest of his life, which was considered a meal after a meal.

The next day, before Yu Sheng could sleep until he woke up naturally, he was called out by several avid horse racing enthusiasts. I didn't eat breakfast, and I was dragged to the racetrack by a few people. And Ryan's treatment is obviously much better than him. After yesterday's big victory, before he got up for the rest of his life, he was fed by a few onlookers of farmers. It looks like he can't walk anymore......

However, after Ryan saw the rest of his life, he became honest again. Jon was holding a carrot with just a glance. Yu Sheng patted Ryan lightly and said, "Run well in a while!" ”

With that, he stepped on his horse. Several farmers looked at each other, a little crying and laughing. For those of them who love horse racing, it is not necessarily a treasure to have a horse in their hands that has the potential to win the Triple Crown and can soar to millions of dollars. How can there be a reason to treat it so casually for the rest of your life.

And for this game, several farmers have prepared. The horses that were pulled out were not thoroughbreds from yesterday's flat speed race, but four beautiful Arabian horses and Akhal-Tejin horses. Both of these breeds of horses are long-distance athletes with endless endurance. In particular, the Akhal-Teke horse once set a record of running 4,300 kilometers in 84 days.

And Ryan's speed doesn't seem to slow down when running long distances. After running ten kilometers, it only took ten minutes. The average speed is sixty seconds per kilometer. After the run, several onlookers and James protested to the rest of his life.

"Oh, Mr. Yu! Your horseback riding moves are too non-standard! This can easily affect the speed of horse racing! If your moves are a bit more standard, Ryan has a chance to break the world record! ”

Horses run extremely fast and can run more than a hundred kilometers in a row. In ancient China, a good horse was described as traveling thousands of miles in a day and 800 miles in a night. Although this figure is exaggerated, the ancient 800 miles expedited, if you change to three or four good horses in the middle of the way, you can indeed achieve a thousand miles a day. And this is basically the fastest speed that humans can get before the advent of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine!

And Ryan took the rest of his life to run, so that the rest of his life also felt something. Why are humans still so obsessed with horseback riding after the advent of motor vehicles, rather than abandoning them? The feeling of riding a horse is not at all comparable to riding in a motor vehicle. When a horse is running at full speed, the wind will fill the mouth and nose of the person. And in the long wind, there will be an illusion of flying. In the midst of the horse's leap, you can clearly feel the trembling of its muscles and the burst of strength. This kind of free life, the power to break free from the shackles of space, a man will like it!

It is no wonder that in the Tang Dynasty, the poet's favorite animal was always the horse. It is no wonder that the martial arts of this era and the martial arts of later generations, when describing the rivers and lakes, there will always be stories of swords and horses. Peach blossom before the horse and snow after the horse. The sunset shines on the banner, and the horse is singing in the wind. Juyan outside the city hunting the sky, the white grass even the sky fire. Drive horses when the clouds are empty in the twilight, and the autumn plain is good for shooting eagles.

With this state of mind, the rest of his life suddenly remembered that in this world, there is no movie about horses that he loved most in later generations, "War Horse". If this movie is not moved to this era by him, it will simply be a failure as a time-traveler! (To be continued.) )
