I'm a horse trainer in Tokyo

After seeing these two off, Izumi Hikaru's remaining task is to watch the two-year-old horse's subsequent training.

Compared with Special Week and Golden Journey, the training of two-year-old racehorses needs to pay more attention to their own performance and whether they have made progress during this period. There are also many things that need to be adjusted in the shaping of the horse's body.

Two years old can be said to be a stage in which a racehorse grows quite quickly, but it is hard to say whether the expected effect can be achieved. The racehorse will continue to grow at the age of three.

This also depends on the situation of the racehorse itself. Bloodline has a great influence on the growth rate of a racehorse.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hikaru Izumi gave a pre-match interview to a TV station.

"Master Izumi, please tell me about this special week.

What do you think of taking the top spot in popularity at once? "

"Thank you for your trust. The popularity support rate is indeed very high this time, but we will not be careless. After all, we have strong opponents in this game."

Izumi Hikaru replied.

"Who is the powerful enemy that Master Izumi mentioned?"

Ishimura Yuri asked with some curiosity.

The Condor is not in the country, so there are really only a few strong opponents in this game.

“I think this strong opponent is Turf Horse. I have been paying close attention to his performance this year. Although his performance in the mile is a bit disappointing, I believe Turf Horse is still a very strong racehorse in the middle distance.”

Izumi Hikaru has been thinking about this problem for some time.

A total of twelve horses participated in this Takarazuka Kinen race. To be honest, the difficulty was not that high and the possibility of tactics being affected was not that great.

"So what do you think about Mejiro Mitsukoshi and Nebula Sky withdrawing from the competition?"

These two racehorses are also particularly good opponents.

In particular, Zhou Chuntianhuang's outstanding performance directly defeated these two horses.

"I feel it's a pity to lose two such opponents in such a competition. Their strength is recognized by everyone."

Izumi Hikaru feels that with these two horses participating in the race, the direction of the race will be easier to control.

It would be best if Nebula Sky came back to lead the pace of the game.

The strength of the horse that was decided to lead in this race was not very strong. Although it was participating in the Takarazuka Kinen, the only result of leading was a stall on the straight.

"As for the status of the special week, everyone must be curious about what Master Izumi thinks."

"In terms of form, it feels like we have returned to the invincible form of last year's derby. Teams that want to target the special week should be mentally prepared in advance."

Izumi Hikaru smiled and then said.

As the most popular team, they will definitely be targeted by other teams.

The most critical impact is still the problem with the gate. If possible, he definitely hopes that he can finish the game in this special week following the pace of the first group.

A confident smile.

As a fan of the special week, Yuri Ishimura instantly felt that the game was almost in his hands.

I was infected by this smile.

Compared to previous interviews, Master Izumi was obviously more confident before this game.

The subsequent interviews on the Golden Journey were also conducted by Hikaru Izumi.

During the interview, he also expressed his expectations for his disciples and his affirmation of Golden Journey's strength.

His performance in the Golden Journey competition in the first half of this year was quite stable. He also gained considerable popularity before the Takarazuka Kinen. He got a pretty good name in last year's Takarazuka Kinen.

Now many people think that Hanshin Racecourse is more suitable for golden journeys.

Chichi——

Golden Journey only showed up when the interview was almost over.

I called Izumi Hikari several times before, but it didn't respond, so Izumi Hikari was alone during the subsequent interview.

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

"This is what I do as a trainer, thank you for your continued support of the horses."

Izumi Hikaru handed two bottles of mineral water to the two of them.

Without the support of so many spectators, the horse racing industry would certainly not have developed to this extent.

"By the way, Master Izumi, I saw a horse riding club using what seemed to be your photo."

Ishimura Yuri took the mineral water and said.

She had confirmed it several times when she passed by the billboard before.

"Oh, that's my sister's horse riding club. They let me be a model for free before."

"I see. That photo is really handsome. It's a pity that I didn't see you riding a horse."

After getting the answer, Ishimura Yuri nodded.

You can go and support it when you have time later.

"If you want to ride a horse, you can try it."

Izumi Hikaru took the opportunity to recommend it to her sister.

For him, it was just a matter of words.

"I'll go when I have time later! I've been wanting to ride a horse for a while now."

Yuri Ishimura feels that being able to ride a retired racehorse is very attractive to her.

Before, she could only watch the horses compete from the sidelines.

Chapter 263 The Golden Journey of Bad Temperance

Chase before Thursday's game.

There is always a shortage of onlookers at the pre-match chases of big games.

Trainers, assistant trainers and staff at the Ritto Training Center.

The most popular week at the Ritto Training Center is the special week.

The most popular player at the Miho Training Center is Cao Shangfei.

Recent shows reported that the most discussion was between these two horses.

As for the Condor, it won its first 2,400-meter European race abroad, and its status instantly reached the highest level, as did its international ratings. This also made domestic audiences look forward to the Condor's performance at the Arc de Triomphe even more.

It’s okay if I don’t return to Japan to attend the Takarazuka Kinen.

For domestic audiences, winning a major competition abroad is more important than anything else. The domestic horse racing industry is developing rapidly, and competing abroad can bring them a greater sense of honor.

This is how Dashu Express gained its status.

To the audience in the industry, this is undoubtedly a very shocking proof.

For Izumi Hikaru, he doesn't have too many ideas now. He has plans to go out in the second half of the year, but he doesn't plan to go too far. Going to Europe and the United States requires long-distance transportation, and a racehorse will lose a lot of weight as soon as it gets off the plane.

It would be better to focus on domestic competitions during the special week.

As long as we run well in the Japan Cup, the prestige of the special week will be enough.

There is certainly no shortage of European horses to run in this era, and this year’s winner is none other than the dominant family of the Arc de Triomphe.

After Kane Fulai and Holy King Halo have finished their chase, the chase for Special Week and Golden Journey will begin.

In terms of chasing performance, the Holy King Halo is still as good as before, and there is a big gap between it and Dai Jian Fu Lai.

This also made the Holy King Halo rank third in popularity.

All the powerful opponents before are gone, and it is second only to Special Week and Grasshopper.

But it is impossible to judge the game by only the chasing data.

"Especially Zhou, this state is really strong."

"This time it's not a smokescreen. It seems that Master Izumi didn't lie during the previous interview."

"This feeling is indeed a bit like the state before the previous derby. If there is still such a state on the field, it will be very difficult to deal with it now, especially Zhou, there are still too many running methods that can be used."

"Hanshin Racecourse still has an advantage for Ritto horses. Grasshoppers need to experience transportation here."

"Golden Journey doesn't seem to be very cooperative."

“It takes time for everyone to get used to it.”

The Golden Journey and Special Week started from the starting point together, but after running a few hundred meters, my head started to feel a little restless.

Fortunately, Chi Tianqianyi was extremely focused and tried his best to pull the other party back.

Wu Feng glanced to the side and could only smile helplessly.

The pursuit continued, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to increase his forward momentum.

Chichi——

Chichi——

With its head pulled back, Golden Journey still rushed forward, but the gap between it and Special Week was indeed much larger.

Izumi Hikaru, who was watching the chase, put down the telescope.

There is really nothing interesting about this thing called tracking and cutting, it is just a confirmation of the status.

As for the Golden Journey, let the other party do whatever they want.

.

It doesn't matter that it has retired this year. The only pity is that it can't continue to make money for his stable. He is really looking forward to the children of Golden Journey.

However, after this chase is over, the popularity of Golden Journey's supporters will drop a lot.

After the chase was over, Golden Journey was also restless. Chi Tianqian even played tug-of-war with Golden Journey as soon as he finished the chase.

Wu Feng and Te Bie Zhou both became the ones watching the show from the side.

Fortunately, the stable attendants came to the rescue quickly. Hideyuki Yamamoto and Shinji Kuramoto quickly added new reins and caught Golden Journey.

This made Chi Tianqian breathe a sigh of relief.

"Chi Tianjun, are you okay?"

"it's okay no problem."

Chi Tianqian sighed.

This was really sudden and there were no signs before, but fortunately, neither the man nor the horse was in any danger.

"That's fine."

Wu Fengdao.

The game is about to start. If there is a problem at this time, you will undoubtedly miss the game this weekend.

After three people, the restlessness of the Golden Journey was suppressed.

Seeing Golden Journey coming, the people who were originally watching and chasing around decisively took a few steps back.

Izumi Hikaru touched the well-behaved Special Week, and then rolled his eyes at Golden Journey.

I really will find the time.

I believe that tomorrow's report will include the news that Golden Journey had a tantrum during the chase today.

But this really didn't have much impact on him.

Golden Journey is not a new racehorse, and everyone is already quite familiar with its character, but it is precisely because of this character that many viewers like it so much.

"Keep this up for Sunday's game, Spey."

Wu Feng patted Te Bie Zhou's neck, then turned over and got off the horse.

He was particularly satisfied with today's pursuit, and the previous feeling was still continuing, which proved that Te Zhou's condition had not declined.

Whisper——

Te Bie Zhou looked at the Golden Journey and shouted.
