Chapter 563: Superstar

When the last race was completed, the most important race of the day, the Kentucky derby, officially began.

The most important races naturally have the most elaborate ceremonies, starting with the entrance ceremony, where there is a special place for horse fans and horses to get in touch with each other at a slightly closer distance.

It is said that it can allow horse fans to watch the mental state of the horses up close, Zhang Chi doesn't quite understand, if the state is not enough, you can retire, why do you want horse fans to watch what kind of work.

"Zhang Chi, let's go, let's go and have a look" Zheng Bohong arrived at Zhang Chi and motioned for us to also go and see the state of the horses.

Zhang Chi said heartlessly: "No, it's so crowded over there now, and it's not like you haven't seen it, if you want to see it, wait for the game to end, you take both of them home, even if you take them to bed, I don't care if you cover the same quilt, it's too crowded to see it now, I won't go, if you want to see it yourself."

Zhao Yue originally wanted to stand up and go with the two of them, but now when he heard Zhang Chi say this, he sat down again, and then echoed and said, "Yes, it must be crowded over there now."

Is it crowded over there in the appearance circle?

Needless to say, as long as it's a serious G1 race, there is no crowd over there, many horse fans like to make a wish for horses at this time, of course, this must be a horse ticket, if you don't buy it, you still make a wish, Zhang Chi is happy to accept him as a horse slave who doesn't need to spend money and can work for himself.

As for what the situation is like at the scene, you don't need to look at it, but just listen to the cheers from there.

Just like the entry of football and other big sports players, the entrance ceremony of horse racing is also very exquisite, in the appearance circle, the appearance circle is a circular horse road, if there is a small fountain in the middle, or it was built in the early years of the United States, it is collectively called a place with historical value here.

Zhang Chi couldn't think of how embarrassed to talk about his own history in the United States, which has a history of hundreds of years, and how good it would be for you to mention the Indians when you mentioned history, but the Americans never mentioned it, as if the American continent was worth it to these white devils, so that there was history.

But it doesn't matter if you're happy or not, that's what people say in the United States, if you're not convinced, you!

So Kentucky's Churchill Park Racetrack is quite historical, not to mention that from the outside, the clubbing of two twin towers like nailed hats is its most obvious appearance feature.

The middle section is the old stand, and later because the old place is too small, a modern grandstand was added on both sides, every time I see this thing, Zhang Chi's heart can't help but jump out, a movie played by Xing Ye, the name of the electric scene is the God of Food, and the God of Food is the judge, and the stitched fish he said.

Yes, yes, it's the stitched fish that resembles a nuclear contamination.

Churchill Park Racecourse gave Zhang Chi such feelings.

Feel the feelings, in the venue, there is a little old man wearing a safe little man on the small platform, wearing politeness, wearing a casual suit, and pants of another color, I don't know what kind of dress this is, maybe it looks very solemn in the eyes of Americans.

Such a little old man came in and blew a trumpet.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the charge horn in our army, if he can blow the tone of the charge horn, Zhang Chi will come to the spirit, this trumpet blowing, Zhang Chi felt trembling, and couldn't help but think of the prize money of the game.

Now the prize money for the Kentucky derby is three million dollars. The first place prize is 62% of the total prize money, and the second place prize is 20% of the total prize money.

The trumpet suddenly seemed to remind Zhang Chi that if his two horses successfully won the first and second today, it would be more than 80% of the total prize money, which would be almost 2.4 million.

Thinking about the bonus, Zhang Chi's spirit was lifted.

After a lap of the debut, the horses go back to the field, but each horse is led by its own trainer's assistant and returns to the stable for the last time before the race.

Of course, this is what jockeys do, at this time jockeys should take care of their weight within the allowable range, you don't care if you are heavy, but you want to be light, then you have to add some counterweights to ensure the fairness of the race.

The first one to weigh was Aidan,

At the same time, there is also the sampling of horses, which is equivalent to the urine test of human athletes, and now that doping is so developed, coupled with the temptation of big bonuses, there will be people who take risks to drug horses, which is not unusual, some people in order to make money, or earn some reputation, let athletes wear things that hurt the body, they don't care, let alone a horse.

"Aidan, keep it up."

The weigher glanced at the numbers that appeared on the display and said to Aidan.

Aidan didn't want to talk at this time, every time he came to the game, the closer he got to the game, the more he didn't want to talk, not that he was cool, not that he was nervous, this was his habit, at this time his mind was all about what to do after the game, there was Mason's advice, and there was also his own understanding of Mason's advice.

This is like an athlete receiving guidance from a coach, it is very important, whether a trainer is good or not, in addition to his own riding skills, it is also very important to understand and implement the tactical requirements of a good trainer.

Aidan who used to be stunned and ran away from a dead horse, has changed a lot these days, he is no longer bent on pursuing fame like before, a little careless, and now he is still eager for victory, he also knows how to cooperate with his partners.

Because in the end, it is the whole group that wins, not just the horse and the jockey, and the strength of the whole team is twisted together, and victory comes.

Of course, the most important thing is that Aidan is not short of money now, although his current income is not as good as that of the top jockeys, but Aidan understands that as long as he walks slowly step by step and does not make any big mistakes, then over time, he will definitely stand in their current position.

After a brief reply to the weigher, Aidan took his counterweight and prepared to mount with the help of his assistant trainer Eddie.

At this moment, the stupid big wood is still the same as usual, and his big eyes are like a deep lake, and looking at it makes people's hearts calm.

Aidan held Silly Damu's head and stared at Silly Damu's eyes, Aidan believed that this would give Silly Damu strength, and at the same time, Silly Damu would also give himself strength.

That's their superpower.

"Hey, man, it's time to show your skills, go up and let the female cousins here see our strength, and let the female cousins outside see what speed is and what is king!"

Aidan spoke very religiously, like a believer prostrating in a temple.

Every jockey has some minor faults, or small movements, that they believe will bring them good luck, and that's what Aidan did.

Putting his nose on the bridge of Silly Damu's nose and kissing it gently, Aidan put it on Silly Damu and stood on Silly Damu's side.

The stupid big wooden shoulder is very high, and if it were Aidan himself, it would be a bit difficult for him to climb up, so at this time, Eddie had to help Aidan get on the horse and act as Aidan's mount stone.

Aidan grabbed the front and back edges of the saddle, bent one leg at ninety degrees, and got up as soon as his hands were forced, Eddie reached out to hold Aidan bent legs, and directly sent Aidan who was lighter than a woman to the horse.

Aidan grabbed the reins and crouched steadily on Silly Bigwood's back.

At this moment, Eddie was holding the side reins and took Silly Damu and Aidan to the entrance, and at this time, Eddie handed the side reins to the staff of the arena.

Silly Damu and Aidan were the first to enter, as they were together as One.

At this time, Aidan suddenly heard someone behind him calling him, turned his head to look for it, and found that it was Julia behind him, that is, Wang Meijing.

"Good luck!"

Wang Meijing made a cheering gesture at Aidan, that is, her arm stretched out and tugged, which looked strange in Aidan's power brake.

Obviously, Wang Meijing, who was the last one, had not yet been weighed by her, and came over to cheer up Aidan, who was almost a teammate.

Aidan tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled at Wang Meijing.

There is always a special feeling between people who have climbed up from the bottom, and this team is like this now, what was it before? Declining trainers, unwelcome Asian female jockeys, jockeys who are about to leave the racetrack.

It's a bit amazing that these people have come together and come to this point step by step.

Laughing at Wang Meijing, Aidan focused his attention on the present, on the upcoming game.

I checked my horsewhip again, and I checked my equipment again, like goggles, hats, and so on.

It is impossible to have a problem if something goes wrong, and this is also Aidan's habit.

After all this was done, Aidan heard the narrator begin to recount Silly Damu's exploits.

"Now it's the No. 1 —————— Silly Big Wood who is going to appear! This horse of the gods, has gone through six races so far, its results are excellent one race at a time, three in a row, two races set a record, and one tied the field record, incredible results, it is a well-deserved favorite today, it is the proud horse ...... the West.

The narrator is recounting Silly Damu's record, and at the same time igniting the atmosphere of the game.

This kind of compliment, now Aidan is no longer excited, in his heart, the greatness of Silly Damu is unique, it was born like this, and he should have met such a divine horse.

As the explanation was narrated, the guide led the stupid big tree and began to walk into the arena.

As soon as Aidan and Silly Timber showed their heads through the passage, they heard a burst of cheers from the entire racecourse.

At the moment, he is still a stupid and stupid big wood, and he has become a superstar, and countless fans are looking forward to it, ready to enjoy its performance.

I'm coming, I'm conquering! Aidan muttered.
