Chapter 263: A Miracle
The new Marseille race is not very long, only 1,200 meters, with a straight start, a straight sprint, and only one corner in between.
The shorter the race, the more exciting it is, the 1200-meter track can be completed in an average of more than a minute or ten seconds, and almost every second is different, and you don't know who will have the last laugh until the last minute.
The moment all the horses entered the gate, the whole field fell silent, and the bettors prayed silently in their hearts that it would be more than a minute to make a profit or a loss.
Xu Qihao is still calm, Xu Jiayin has already begun to meditate on the eclipse and refuel, his eyes are firmly locked on the starting line in the distance, and his fists are clenched.
As the countdown ends, the floodgates all open and the first race of the year officially begins.
More than a dozen horses rushed out of the gate almost at the same time, and although their positions overlapped, Yan Fuguang still saw at a glance that only thirteen of them had set off on time.
It took almost a second before the last horse burst out of the gate, and it was Eclipse No. 6.
Although a second is short, that second is as long as a lifetime.
There was an uproar at the scene, and the commentator also sighed that it was a pity that there were players in this year's new Marseille who "missed the gate".
Maybe it's not adapting to the atmosphere of the race, maybe it's a lack of concentration, maybe it's just a simple nervousness, but for a 1200-meter sprint race, a second slower start means that the start is already far behind, and it is likely that it will be difficult to catch up after the whole race.
Indeed, at around 400 meters, the Eclipse was more than 10 lengths behind the front leader, and No. 12 had chased from fifth place at the start to second place, and No. 9 was in first place.
Xu Jiayin's fists couldn't be pinched anymore, although it was only a dozen seconds after the start of the game, but in her heart, 200,000 had already flown away, not to mention her brother's 1 million, Yan Fuguang's heavy attention was about to be lost when she saw it.
She couldn't help but look to the side, but even in the face of such an accident, Yan Fuguang's face still didn't change, as if the disadvantage of a dozen positions was not a disadvantage in her eyes at all.
Even Xu Qihao glanced at Yan Fuguang.
He had even thought that if the eclipse really lost, as long as Yan Fuguang didn't mention it, he would never mention the word horse racing, even if Yan Fuguang was angry with a black face on the spot, he had the right to not see it.
Those who didn't buy the eclipse shouted at this time, and those who bought it naturally cursed, and everyone's minds were floating, especially Dyson on horseback.
The two-day training eclipse performance was perfect, and it turned out that Yan Fuguang's appearance did work wonders, and Dyson's original heart has been put down for most of it.
More than once he imagined him and the Eclipse being the first to cross the finish line, and although he had been consolidating his technical maneuvers, thinking about his route, and how to adjust his position in the herd before the brake was released, the scene of the slaughter still came to his mind from time to time.
But he never imagined that the eclipse, which had been working hard for several days, would have problems when the floodgates were opened.
Probably too excited, the eclipse raised his leg in advance and accidentally touched the gate, causing it to have to put his leg down before kicking off the ground when the gate was opened, and this delay, he started almost a full second slower than others.
The sprint race started one second behind and was almost devastating.
But Dyson knew he couldn't panic, and the smarter the racehorse, the more he could sense the rider's emotions, not to mention the eclipse that had become a fine in his mind.
Dyson steadied himself and waved his whip rhythmically, reminding him of the gradual acceleration of the eclipse, and in any case he was still confident in the absolute speed of the eclipse, as long as there were no accidents in the future, it would not be impossible for the eclipse to catch up.
Dyson doesn't know how his heart turns around the eclipse, but it only knows one thing, it has to be the first to cross the finish line, and someone is waiting for it at the finish line.
The excitement must be excited, otherwise it would not have kicked the floodgates, but the unexpected eclipse of falling behind at the start was not taken seriously at all.
In its eyes, today's task is to defeat the thirteen scum present, and since it is lagging behind, it should run faster.
No creature can stop it from rushing to the finish line and hugging its favorite hot woman!
The first straight was still last after the eclipse, and from the moment he entered the corner, the other horses slowed down slightly, but the eclipse ran faster and faster.
And it doesn't look at the crowded inner road, and the little distance saved is not as refreshing as the barrier-free acceleration of the outer road.
At this time, the on-site narrator finally noticed the eclipse running wantonly on the outer road, chasing from the last place all the way to the tail of the large army, and at 800 meters, he had already reached the middle of the herd.
The eclipse ran faster and faster, stretching its posture to the extreme, and each touch was powerful and powerful, and the turf that kicked up flew several meters high.
The atmosphere of the scene was ignited by the eclipse arrow-like figure, and the ups and downs of the plot have always been the most attractive.
The audience and the commentary were all agitated, not to mention Xu Jiayin, who completely lost her previous ladylike demeanor, waving her arms and cheering loudly, even Xu Qihao couldn't help but applaud the eclipse, and he didn't expect to have any hope of winning in the originally dead game.
The expressions of the Zhao brothers in the other room were not very good-looking.
At first, Zhao Liheng laughed a few words after seeing the eclipse, but later his own Mr. Good Luck and Zhen Haocai occupied the first two places, and his eyes were always focused on the two of them.
But who can tell him how this No. 6 caught up!
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the original penultimate solar eclipse appeared in an absolutely impossible position, and it was getting shorter and shorter with the first two.
With 400 meters remaining, the race entered the final straight sprint.
Mr. Good Luck is now in first place, with a difference of more than half a length, and the rest of the squad is more than four lengths away from the top two.
The eclipse is still running at the outermost level, and it's still accelerating.
The sound of horses' hooves on the right does not affect it, and the deafening cheers on the left deaf ears, and the eclipse has only a few hundred meters away from the finish line.
400m, 300m, 250m......
By the last 200 meters, the Eclipse had outpaced the large force, and now there were only two opponents left in front of it.
The scene is almost crazy, is there going to be a miracle comeback on the first day of the new horse season?!
With 150 meters left, the eclipse has surpassed the true good color, and with 100 meters left, it has gone hand in hand with Mr. Good Luck.
But the eclipse was still accelerating, and it was running faster and faster, like a dark lightning bolt across the track.
A dozen lengths behind the start but seven or eight horses ahead of the line, the scene on the 1200m track was a miracle!
At the moment when the eclipse crossed the finish line, everyone on the scene shouted in unison, and the eclipse conquered everyone's hearts with the perfect performance of a desperate turnaround.
After today, Hong Kong City will have one more star of tomorrow!
