Rural life in America

Chapter 174 Disappointed First Start

I really did a lot of things in the research institute, and expressed some of my thoughts frankly; and after Professor Jackson processed and understood it, it became a profound academic language.

Generally speaking, Zhang Hao is quite satisfied. Although he doesn't know much about the academic circles, Zhang Hao knows that what Professor Jackson is doing now is to help him get into the academic circles, which is the most important thing.

Still looking forward to it, Zhang Hao feels that he is much closer to being a zoologist!

After finishing the matter of becoming a zoologist, Zhang Hao is going back to the ranch and starting other jobs; this time, Zhang Hao is going to go to the horse race instead of betting, he is going for the bonus , this time Zhang Hao is going to become the owner of the horse.

Barney and Phil are very happy, because the angry train is said to be doing well in training, and its performance has also improved slightly.Although it has not reached the best situation Zhang Hao said, it is enough to make some progress, which means the improvement of strength and the rise of social status, which is the most important thing.

Miles and Perez set off with the racehorse. Their task is quite arduous, and they have to take the racehorse across half of the United States.But this is part of their job, this is their duty; the two of them also have expectations, because they know that the angry train has really improved, and it is very difficult to improve the top horse racing results. But their horses did.

By changing his stride and controlling his running habits, this horse's performance has really improved.

Generally speaking, June and July are the time when there are the most horse racing competitions except October, and the United States also produces the most champion horses every year.There are about one hundred first-level races in the United States every year, and American horses can occupy about 90.00% of the champions.

The bonus is only 30 US dollars, which is really not much; the track is 2000 meters of grass, which is not what Angry Train is best at, it is better at mud races.

But you can fight for it. Now it is to find the state of the game, and now it is to make a name for yourself.

Barney and Phil followed to the stables. They are also well-informed people now. They have seen a lot of horse racing and know a lot about horse racing.It's just that they are more devoted this time, because they are horse owners this time, so they are naturally more devoted this time. This time, they are hit with a bonus of 30 US dollars, although they may not be able to get it.

Zhang Hao also took a look at the stables. The angry train is in good condition, and there is no need to worry about his health. He tried the venue in advance and warmed up, which made people feel quite satisfied, and he has a good chance to hit the bonus.

The whole family came to cheer for the horse race together; this is their own horse race, although the family basically knows that this is a short-term operation, basically this horse can only run a few races at most.

But it doesn't matter, let's run away first, maybe it can bring some extra income.

Not only Zhang Hao's whole family came together, but also Barney's girlfriend Monica, including Phil's new girlfriend; life of luxury.

Of course, this period of time is a bit tight. Although I have made some money in horse racing, my life is guaranteed; it’s just that this guy still has a lot of money on the angry train, and he is not very rich recently. Can only control 'food and clothing'.

It is rare for Yu Xiu to be a little nervous at the racetrack. In the past, there was no need to be nervous in horse racing, because she knew Zhang Hao's ability to watch horses.But this time is different, because this time there is a racehorse on the track, it feels different.

"Xiaohao, can our horse win? If it wins, it will be 30 yuan. This is a lot of money, and it is more profitable than betting."

Although Zhang Hao was looking forward to it, he knew it would be difficult. "The possibility is not very high. Although there are not many top horses, but in terms of strength, our horse is probably the third. The first two riders made mistakes. That's what we won."

Zhang Jianye was a little regretful, the probability of both horses making mistakes was a bit small, "That's really a pity, 30, we didn't bet this time, and if we can't make money in this race, we still have to put money in."

Zhang Hao laughed, "It's impossible for us to get the 30 bonus. Barney and Phil both have [-]% of the shares. If we really win, the rider and trainer will also take some of it." Bonuses add up to less than ten percent."

It is impossible for one person to take the bonus alone, but as long as he can win the bonus, it is still quite considerable; what's more, the family members are very clear that the value of this horse is not to fight for the bonus, it is to improve performance and social status, and the bonus is just an extra income.

The horses have entered the starting fence, and the race is about to begin; although Zhang Hao knows a little about this group of horses and knows that it is unlikely to win the championship this time, he still has some expectations and luck, if those horses stumble!

The moment the race bell rang, the horses rushed out of the starting fence; this time the track was relatively long, 300 meters, which is a relatively long track in horse racing.

Zhang Hao was very nervous, worried that the horse race would make a mistake in the start; many horse racing results were poor because of a poor start. Fortunately, Miles did not make a low-level mistake this time and started smoothly.

Keep going, hold on to the reins, and don't exhaust the horse's physical energy at the start; you must resolutely implement the pre-match tactical arrangements, stay close to the inner lane, and follow as much as possible.

After a minute and a half, the angry train entered the third position, just less than one length behind the first two horses.It seems that there is still a chance, but Zhang Hao knows that unless there are some miracles, it will be really difficult to win the bonus.

"There is still a problem with the stride, Miles still can't control it well! Give him another chance, if he really can't control it, I can only fire him."

Zhang Hao knew that it would be very difficult for the angry train to win the championship this time, even if he didn't win the championship, Zhang Hao could accept it.It's just that the performance must be guaranteed. If the performance of the angry train does not improve, how can it be sold at a high price!

Sure enough, it was the same, because Miles was a little anxious. He saw the possibility of winning the championship, so he started to exert his strength early.The result is that the angry train's pace suddenly became chaotic, and it was completely thrown away; No.3 was saved, but compared with the previous two horses, it was quite behind, and the time of 34 minutes and [-] seconds was really good. The very average.

Zhang Hao's complexion was not good, and his family members were also a little disappointed. It must be quite disappointing that the family's horse race did not win the championship for the first time on the track.

It’s good that Xixi is taken by his parents. Zhang Hao and Barney went to the stable with bad faces; Miles, who knew that he had made a big mistake, sat with his head down outside the stable. He is a little worried now. Worried that the boss will fire him.If it weren't for the fact that he was too anxious to forget the boss's orders, then the game Furious Train would definitely be better this time around.

Although Miles has a certain strength, it is just that it is difficult for him to have too many opportunities to participate in some high-level competitions; even if he occasionally enters the first-level competition, such opportunities are relatively rare, and he does not want to play again. One go at a time to find the right racehorse.

If a rider wants to achieve results, his own riding skills are of course very important, but it is more important to find an excellent horse.

"You made some mistakes this time, and I hope you sum it up well. Keep calm and don't forget what you're supposed to be doing. I keep telling you to control your stride and cadence, but you don't look like you Seriously, you just did it in practice. It's not enough, I need you to do it on the track!"

After making a mistake, Miles naturally calmed down, and he knew that he definitely needed to sum it up this time.

Although he severely criticized Miles, Zhang Hao is not that kind of harsh boss, he will still give Miles a chance, "I contacted some friends from the Jockey Association, and you got the Belmont Stakes Invitational." Opportunity. I know you can't win the 120 million bonus, but this time you must run well!"

Zhang Hao knew very well that it was impossible for the angry train to win the Belmont Invitational Championship, and the prize money could not be in his pocket.However, as long as the horse does a good job, that's enough.

One week of preparation time is enough for a special session and recovery, and it is almost enough to sum up the gains and losses of this competition, and strive to achieve better results in this more important competition.

This is a big stage. There will be many top horse races, many horse owners and horse fans. This time, we can’t miss it again. This time we must achieve better results.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao and Barney didn't forget the development of the Jockey Association's network. If it weren't for the existence of such a relationship, it would be difficult for the angry train to get a place in the invitational race.Although it has a certain strength, it is just that this horse is at the middle level in the first-level race, and it is still a bit difficult to stand on the same starting fence with the top horses.

Returning to the ranch with a little disappointment, Zhang Hao continued to play basketball and rabbits. He rode horses and walked the dog every day when he had nothing to do. His small life was quite pleasant.

As for the horse racing, I didn't bother to watch it; because the Belmont Stakes Invitational must be the role of cannon fodder, and don't expect to get any prize money at all.So forget it, because it is a horse owner and it is not easy to bet, this game really lacks interest.

It’s just that when Zhang Hao lacked interest, some people became interested in Zhang Hao’s horse racing; every horse that can stand in the first-level race has a record to check, watching the angry train galloping on the track, Looking at its training performance in adapting to the venue, it feels like it has improved a bit.

This matter deserves more attention.
