Chapter 420: You Shouldn't Have Any Extraneous Thoughts?!
After the pleasantries, Abdul finally revealed his intentions.
"Forgive me for taking the plunge, may I ask if Mr. Ji has any plans to sell the eclipse?"
Abdul is a very straightforward person, perhaps because of his status, there is little need to be careful.
However, he also knew that his question was very abrupt, and added: "Don't get me wrong, I just like the eclipse too much, and I know that it is impossible for people to endure the pain of love, but I still can't help but want to ask." ”
Ji Yingzhou smiled and politely declined: "Thank you for your love, but this matter has never been in our consideration." ”
As he spoke, he took Yan Fuguang and continued: "The eclipse is just like our children, it is a priceless treasure. ”
Abdul looked sad, but not surprised.
If the owner of the eclipse is him, no matter how high the price is, he will not be able to sell it.
He knew that Ji Yingzhou and Yan Fuguang would not be tempted by fame and fortune, and if the other party was unwilling to sell, he couldn't force it.
Abdul thought for a moment and asked, "Have you thought about where to go after the Eclipse retires?" The Saudi Jockey Club has one of the world's most luxurious horse racing homes in Australia, and we cordially invite you to live there after the Eclipse retirement. ”
Abdul didn't lie, they did circle two pastures in Australia, with abundant grass and beautiful water, and specially received champion horses for retirement.
Ordinary horses can't go if they want to, at least they have to be champions in international first-class races, and winning the championship once is not enough.
Whether it's a gelding who is ready to spend the rest of his life at a leisurely pace, or a peony horse who wants to sow seeds happily, they can be taken care of in the best way.
Of course, the service is top-notch, and the fees are certainly top-notch, but for those who are not bad at money and love horses, it is not a matter of price.
With the results achieved so far, it can be retired at any time and can be moved in at any time.
First, Abdul does love the eclipse, and secondly, the breeding market for this champion horse is very tight, and if the eclipse can live on their pasture, they can be ahead of everyone.
"Thank you for the invitation, but we're also going to build a ranch for the Eclipse, and the place has been chosen, so it can be built before it is decommissioned."
Ji Yingzhou's words disappointed Abdul's hopes, but this is also something that can't be helped, with Ji Yingzhou's ability, this matter can become a reality at any time.
Although he regretted it, Abdul was still polite and polite.
"Looks like I'm really out of touch with the Eclipse." He smiled and said, "Then I hope that we can still see the eclipse in next year's Saudi Cup, it is a real god horse!" ”
"Thanks for the compliment, we'll bring it if we can."
Abdul didn't stay, he had to attend the award ceremony later.
Probably the eclipse was too shocking, and most of the audience did not leave when the award was presented, and many people gathered on the front side of the podium, just wanting to see the eclipse a few more times.
Dyson led the eclipse to stand next to the runner-up and runner-up, and compared to the quietness of the two horses, the Eclipse's attitude was only a little better than impatience.
The nose sounded one after another, and the eclipse kept thinking in his heart-
It's really annoying to grind and chirp!
When the podium ceremony officially began, the first to take to the stage were third-place finisher Legacy and his jockey.
The third runner-up in the Saudi Cup will receive a cash prize of $2 million, and the rider will receive a trophy with his or her name engraved on it.
Then there was the runner-up "Nebula".
Nebula is a very albino horse, its appearance can be described as beautiful, it is very popular in Japan, and it also has many fans abroad.
Obviously, when "Nebula" came on the stage, the applause of the audience was a little more enthusiastic.
The runner-up prize was $3.5 million, but its rider Ichiro Asano didn't look very excited, and it was clear that the second-place result did not satisfy him.
Nebula has been in very good shape lately, and in order to prepare for this race, the whole team arrived in Saudi Arabia three weeks early with their horses, just to get the horses used to the environment as soon as possible.
The test run when adapting to the venue was also very good, and Ichiro Asano could feel that his body and spirit were fully mobilized.
Today's Nebula finished the race was undoubtedly excellent, breaking the previous course record, provided there was no eclipse ahead.
Nebula is clearly in better form than he was when he won the Arima Memorial Championship in Japan, and he and his team are looking forward to winning the Saudi Cup.
It's a pity that "Nebula" lost, and it can even be said to be a fiasco.
Ichiro Asano didn't understand why the Eclipse could run so fast, considering that he had also laughed at the Eclipse training and that they hadn't even considered the Eclipse their main competitor before today.
How do you know that today's real sword and real gun competition only knew that the eclipse was so brave.
Ichiro Asano's eyes couldn't help but look not far away......
As the host solemnly read out the name of the eclipse, the applause and cheers at the scene were not of the same magnitude at all compared to the previous runner-up and third runner-up.
Nebula was fine, but the noisy environment seemed to scare Legacy, and it suddenly took a few steps back.
The rider hurriedly reassured, and it took more than ten seconds for the "inheritance" to stabilize.
This little episode did not affect the enthusiasm of the audience, and the eclipse rolled its eyes when it passed by the "inheritance".
If you are so daring, you can still come out to compete in what competition!
If you don't rush to go back to the process, you have to "exercise" it.
The eclipse even walks differently than other horses, mainly because the momentum is rare.
Everywhere it went, it was like a king patrolling his territory, and pride was evident in a horse.
The president of the Saudi Jockey Club, Abdul himself, personally presented the Eclipse and Dyson with the awards.
He handed the trophy to Dyson, and then handed over a large cheque board for $10 million.
Dyson just wanted to take it, but the eclipse suddenly stretched out his head, opened his mouth, closed his big teeth up and down, and dragged it out.
Dyson was stunned, forgot to let go for a while, and then unsurprisingly suffered a solar eclipse many times.
Seeing that he still didn't let go, the eclipse nose began to spew heavily, and the two hind legs began to move.
Little Golden Retriever, what's the matter with you, do you want to covet my winnings?
Uncle Ben has worked hard for nearly two kilometers, just waiting to earn some pocket money to give to Ma Ma, you shouldn't have anything to think about, right?!
Dyson didn't know anything else, but he was very familiar with the body language of the eclipse, and seeing that it showed signs of madness, Dyson subconsciously let go of his hand.
Sure enough, Eclipse was content and ignored him.
And then there was a magical scene, the second and third place checks were in the hands of the jockey, but the winner's check was in the horse's mouth!
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the atmosphere was as warm as the moment when the eclipse crossed the line.
There will be such a wonderful scene at the mediocre award ceremony, and the audience who stayed behind is too worthwhile.
