I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Tokyo, Shinjuku.

Old Hengshan, Middle Hengshan, Small Hengshan.

All three of Yokoyama's top generals have arrived, but they still need to control their diet because of the upcoming matches.

Yuji Izumi specially arranged for the chef to prepare a meal for the three of them.

For riders only.

Izumi Yujin, Yokoyama Norihiro, and Yokoyama Kazuo all greeted each other.

Originally, the world's snow mountain should thank Yokoyama Kazuo, who suggested that the snow mountain run on mud, which started the snow mountain's five-year mud running career.

Kazuo Yokoyama previously rode Yujin Izumi's racehorse.

"Thank you, Mr. Izumi, for your support of my son."

Norihiro Yokoyama was very happy.

He hopes his son will become a dragon among men.

Takeshi Yokoyama had a very successful first half of the year, winning both the Satsuki Prize and the Imperial Prize.

The rider's skill is one aspect, but Yokoyama Takeshi's success was also due to the trust of Izumi Hisahito, the horse owner. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor's Sho would definitely have to be replaced.

It's easy to find top riders in muddy races like this.

He wanted to try riding the racehorse that was Snow Mountain, but no matter what, he couldn't take away his son's racehorse.

"He earned all of this step by step; I didn't do much."

Yujin Izumi.

It's after dinner now, perfect for a casual chat.

The wild celebrations are over.

"Haha, Wu Shi, you'll have to work even harder in the future!"

Norihiro Yokoyama glanced at Takeshi Yokoyama sitting to the side.

Takeshi Yokoyama's current horse racing resources mainly come from the Carrot Club and the Shedai Club.

But no one would complain about having too many good racehorses, especially since Izumi Hisahito has a Snow Mountain horse.

He has high hopes for this new horse owner!

"I will, Father."

Takeshi Yokoyama nodded solemnly.

He cannot lower his standards just because he won this game.

In the second half of the year, both Lotto Heart and Snow Mountain are waiting for him.

"come on."

Kazuo Yokoyama, on the other hand, was taciturn.

This gathering itself had nothing to do with him.

In terms of talent, he was indeed inferior to Takeshi Yokoyama, and most of his resources were taken by his younger brother.

But his overall ability is still good, especially with the guidance of a top rider father.

Afterwards, they had a brief chat with Takagi Noboru.

Yujin Izumi didn't say much about the snow mountain; they could talk about that in a couple of days.

Anyway, the first half of the competition is over.

Their conversation revolved around the snow-capped mountains, and even tonight's horse racing scene was dominated by the keywords: snow-capped mountains, the new king of mud tracks, and the Golden Family.

...

"I'm actually benefiting from your help this time, Hisahito."

Shinsuke Izumi suddenly realized that being a horse owner wouldn't be so bad.

Enjoy the game, enjoy the cheers!

It's also very profitable!

"There are only a few opportunities a year, this wasn't a special invitation for you."

Yuujin Izumi looked out the window at the night view, took a sip of his drink, and then said.

This time, he even made a point of getting his hands on the number plate awarded by the Snow Mountain Emperor.

This is also something very meaningful.

"That's true, but having this hope means we won't have to worry for the next few years."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Shinsuke Izumi asked.

"I'll stay in Tokyo for over a month, and then go see the two-year-old new Marseille."

Izumi Yujin replied.

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and Earth Star will return to the Mei Pu Training Centre next month to begin preparations for the Singapore-Malaysia race.

At Izumi Yujin's request, the two matches were separated by a week.

This trip allows him to watch two races at the same racetrack before flying back to Sapporo, thus avoiding the need for him to travel back and forth by plane.

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and Earth Star will be training at the Niigata racetrack for more than half a month, so they need to return to the training center early for a pre-race sprint.

"Okay, just tell me what you need."

Shinsuke Izumi made a phone call to his driver.

He had a great time today, but he still has to go to work tomorrow.

Yujin Izumi, on the other hand, can sleep until he naturally wakes up.

Enjoy the wonderful life.

After being picked up by a driver, Shinsuke Izumi and Hisahito Izumi walked to their rented apartment in Shinjuku.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

As soon as Izumi Yujin went downstairs, he saw that it was drizzling outside.

-----------------

After a quick wash, Yuujin Izumi sat on the beanbag chair and scrolled through his phone.

"There's more and more commentary on this match..."

Looking at these messages of praise, Yuuji Izumi felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

Reports about the snow-capped mountains spread rapidly tonight.

Previously, the most I knew was that there was a muddy horse that had been on a winning streak, but that was no match for the Group 1 champion.

There are only a handful of important Grade 1 dirt track champions each year.

The fact that Xueshan was able to win even one of these awards means that he has successfully made a name for himself.

The chasing style of running can quickly attract fans.

What we're looking for is the most exciting tactics!

The Marculli tactic is a tactic that heavily relies on the horse's racing ability; it can even be described as a tactic where there is no turning back once it starts.

When watching the game, this was the first point of tension for Yujin Izumi.

Fortunately, there were few obstacles in the rear of the race, and Xue Shan managed to catch up with the middle-section race with minimal effort.

The horse veered outwards significantly when entering the bend, but still managed to surge forward smoothly.

The most important point is that Takeshi Yokoyama knows which areas have better mud conditions.

"Now those trolls in the live stream won't dare to jump around in the chat anymore."

Yuji Izumi still remembers the little black guy in the live stream.

The matter at the snow mountain has been successfully resolved, but there are still things to be done.

What worries him most is Earth Star, this rock girl.

He has Guozhi Xiang's contact information.

Just wanted to ask.

Kunieda Sho: Congratulations, Izumi-kun! I just saw that one of your racehorses won the Imperial Prize!

Yujin Izumi: Thank you.

Yuujin Izumi: Kunieda-kun, how is my little princess?

Yuji Izumi got straight to the point, immediately explaining why he was contacting him in his message.

Sho Kunieda: I went to Tianrong Ranch to check on it last week. The horse's body still needs further growth, but it is much better than when it first came here.

Kunieda Sho: Hmm... As for personality, Hoshino is still the same as before.

This is something that is very difficult to change.

But it's a good thing that the horse's body continues to develop; racehorses are in different states at two, three, and four years old.

He never expected that Izumi Yuujin would ask about Earth tonight.

Despite his young age, he is remarkably calm and composed!

Kunieda Sho really hadn't expected this.

Yujin Izumi: It's good that there's growth. Let Earth continue to grow normally.

I briefly looked at the recent report from Earth Star.

It was still too small when it was two years old.

This size makes it difficult to be competitive in races, but fortunately, there are some new races in the Central District that are limited to mares.

This is a form of protection for two-year-old mares.

Some two-year-old mares may not be able to win first place in mixed-category races.

Another option is to find riders who have just started their careers this year. These new riders are still in their probationary period and have a weight advantage when riding racehorses.

Other two-year-old racehorses carry a load of 54 kilograms, but this year's newcomer only needs to carry 51 kilograms.

Don't underestimate this difference, especially for those horses that are running ahead and leading the pack.

Sho Kunieda: It will be going back to the stables next week. I will let you know directly if anything happens. By the way, the rider issue has been finalized.

The date and riders for the competition have been confirmed.

Kunieda Uba has already planned all of these things, which perfectly meets Izumi Hisahito's needs.

Yuujin Izumi: Yes, thank you for your hard work.

What a perfect day!

Yuji Izumi scrolled through his phone for a while longer.

There are so many reports about the snow-capped mountain that we can't keep up with them all.

The fact that the news about the snow mountain has repeatedly mentioned the Gold Master increases its likelihood of becoming a successor stallion.
