I'm a horse trainer in Tokyo

However, if you want to collect previous information about your opponents, it is not that difficult. Most of the horses participating in the race at this point in time are already veterans who have experienced many competitions.

of course.

Some of these horses are only making their debut now due to injuries.

There were a total of eighteen horses participating in the Kyoto 2,400-meter race, but only one horse successfully advanced.

So the elimination rate is still quite high.

Although Golden Journey has lost many times before, its support rate is still very high this time.

However, support rate can only express the expectations of horse fans for him and does not mean that he will definitely win the game.

Upsets themselves are a major attraction in horse racing.

No one knows who will take first place until they reach the finish line.

The top five in a competition will receive prize money, but the first place prize is the highest, and only the first place can successfully advance.

"There really aren't any strong opponents, so all we have to do is play our best."

Izumi Hikaru put down the horse newspaper in his hand.

Naturally, the current information has also been collected by horse racing reporters.

I have to say that the current Golden Journey is exaggerated by them, but it is true.

As long as Golden Journey performs normally, they can win this game.

This time I got gate number seven, which is pretty good overall.

Golden Journey's physical confrontation ability is still too weak.

Generally, if you get stuck in the inner lane, you are doomed, and the possibility of breaking out within the rules is very low.

Consider the situation at Kyoto Racecourse.

The running method of Chaxing is quite good, staying in the middle of the herd and looking for opportunities.

"Izumi-kun, Master Ikee wants to see you."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Izumi Hikaru, who was sitting by the window, put down the pencil and newspaper in his hand.

"How's the preparation for the game going?"

“Just now I was looking at the opponent’s running style and strength, and I feel that they are almost the same. This tactic still wants to choose a weaker running style, and it’s okay to have a slightly wider lap.”

Izumi Hikaru answered after arriving at the office.

"I already know about the compliments from Kumazawa-kun. It's great. Pay more attention these days. The carriage has been arranged. You will leave for the Kyoto Racecourse on Friday."

Ikee Yasushi nodded.

Before leaving, he will ask the veterinarian to check Golden Journey's physical condition again.

Because of these two chases, he is full of confidence in the golden journey.

Even the boss of the station will come to Kyoto Racecourse to watch this game.

"By the way, I've asked Ono-kun to prepare your clothes for you."

"Okay, I'll go find Ono-senpai in a bit."

Izumi nodded.

If he were to appear in the show ring, he would definitely have to wear a special uniform.

Chapter 13 Sister

Kyoto Racecourse, stables.

Kyoto Racecourse is the largest racecourse in Kansai. It is the central racecourse with the largest number of spectators and races in Kansai.

Hikaru Izumi and Hirokazu Kanehara also arrived on Friday at noon.

Since their game is on Saturday morning, they must arrive early and prepare.

"Assistant Izumi, thank you for your hard work."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you next."

Izumi Hikaru took another look at the Golden Journey arriving at the stables at the racecourse.

The distance from the training center to the Kyoto Racecourse is relatively short, and transportation itself is a huge cost for racehorses.

Even the horses themselves need to adapt to the new environment.

Whisper——

Whisper——

When a new racehorse arrived, the other racehorses also became excited.

The horses that arrive now are also for tomorrow's race.

Twelve games a day, on grass and mud.

Although there are many clay court competitions, they are not as popular as grass court competitions.

Izumi Hikaru glanced at the Golden Journey panel again.

Nothing has changed.

This way he felt relieved.

As for the rest of the matters, just leave them to the stable attendant. As for him, he naturally wanted to go to the Kyoto Racecourse.

It is quite close to Kyoto Racecourse.

Although his family was also in Kyoto, he had no intention of going home. At least he would wait until his stable was on track and had achieved good results before he could go home.

In any case, his family was originally very opposed to him doing this job.

Before, his family mainly wanted him to inherit the equestrian career, and he himself was very talented in this area. Later, he went abroad to study for a period of time.

But I changed my mind after returning to China.

It was mainly in Europe that I came into contact with European horse racing.

It would be very difficult for a newcomer to start a horse racing business there, so he chose to return to China. After all, his family still has some resources and connections in China.

“This way, Light-kun—!!”

As soon as Izumi Mitsuru walked out of the door, he saw someone waving at him from the opposite side.

Izumi Hikaru also ran over there.

"Sister, why are you here?"

This was really beyond his expectations.

"Didn't you say you were going back to Kyoto this afternoon? I happened to have some time, so I came to see you."

Izumi Kaede smiled faintly.

This younger brother is really a cause of worry.

"Well, you come alone?"

Izumi Hikaru quickly glanced at the surrounding situation.

It would be terrible if I was caught by my family again.

"Of course I would, otherwise how could I bring someone to capture you? Besides, the racehorse you bought is still under my name."

Izumi Kaede snorted lightly.

For the sake of her younger brother, she also applied for the qualification of a horse owner.

She now runs her own equestrian and horse riding club.

of course.

These properties must belong to Izumi Hikari, but his parents are very angry now and are totally unwilling to transfer these properties to the other party.

"That racehorse is my most precious one, you must take good care of it, woo--"

not yet

After he finished speaking, Izumi Hikaru was pinched on the face by his sister.

"Which is more important, the horse or my sister?"

Izumi Feng said a little angrily.

This time she came back specifically to watch the horse race that her brother was in charge of.

"Sister is important."

Izumi Hikaru blinked and then said.

Kaede Izumi is their family's adopted daughter.

The two of them went together when they participated in competitions before, and his sister, who was one year older than him, was always taking care of him.

"As long as you know."

Izumi Kaede nodded with satisfaction.

My younger brother is still the same younger brother.

Then she also found a park on the side of the road.

The two of them still have a lot to say.

-

"The horse you bought has now been sent to the breeding farm. According to recent feedback, it's doing quite well. Although it has a bad temper towards other racehorses, it's very friendly to the staff."

Speaking of Te Bie Zhou, He Quan Feng also felt a little sorry for each other.

It has to be said that this pony had suffered many hardships since it was born, and it had an even more difficult time growing up.

Because the breeding ranch is in Hokkaido, she doesn't have time to visit him.

But I heard from the breeding ranch that the racehorse was very well behaved.

"That's good. After my stable opens, it can be transferred to me. If everything goes well, we can also put it under Master Chi Jiang's name first."

Izumi Hikaru said with a smile.

Now everything is going quite smoothly.

He was able to go to Ikee Yasuro's stable thanks to his sister's relationship.

Regardless, every stable has a few racehorses for riding.

His sister happens to be working in this industry now, and many retired racehorses from the central government are sent to her. However, the number of places in a riding club is limited after all, so relationships are still very important.

"I'm not very clear about these things either, just do as you say."

Izumi Kaede was not very interested in these things.

If possible, she naturally wants her younger brother to continue to shine in the field of equestrianism.

She is also an equestrian rider.

"..."

"I feel like you've lost a lot of weight recently. Is it because you haven't eaten well because you're out alone?"

Izumi Feng looked at him for a while and then said.

"I'm still a bit busy during this period. After all, I have to prepare for tomorrow's game."

Izumi Hikaru touched his face.

His diet during this period is still very fixed. He eats at a convenience store in the morning, eats with everyone at noon, and eats everything in the evening depending on his mood. If he is in a good mood, he cooks for himself, and if he is not in a good mood, he just finds a place to eat.

"Would you like me to secretly give you some money so that you don't suffer so much these days?"

Izumi Feng hesitated for a moment, but still said.

She also did some research some time ago and found that horse racing was too expensive. Fortunately, her brother had won a lot of prize money before.
