After leaving the city and traveling about ten kilometers, the bus finally stopped on a wide platform.
"The final stop this time is Sakihana Racecourse, Sakihana Racecourse."
The two of them finally arrived at their destination this time.
ps:
Chapter 69 Drink water and remember its source
Different from the Fuzhong Racecourse that Hechen visited before, the scale of the local racecourse is much smaller than those in the central area.You must know that among the horse racing courses established by local self-governing groups under the local horse racing association, the most famous one is the Oi Race Course in the Kanto region.
Local racecourses like this are not of the same magnitude in scale and popularity.
But local racecourses will also form their own unique culture and heritage.
Sakihana Racecourse, which loves clay racing, and their fans support the existence of this racecourse.
The Sakihana Racecourse in front of us is only about the size of two football fields.Standing on the platform outside and looking at it, you will only feel that this round-shaped building looks so small among the mountains and green fields.However, with its environment surrounded by mountains and rivers, it can be seen that this place is also a so-called summer tourist resort.
Everyone who got off the car walked toward the entrance. There were vendors selling horse racing peripherals on both sides of the street outside the gate.Although this is also common at the Fuchu Racecourse, there are dedicated shopping areas there, and this kind of market feeling is not found in the central racecourse.
A variety of horse racing peripherals and special delicacies make people feel like they are visiting a festival when walking down the aisle.
In the center of the gate, just like the Fuzhong Racecourse, there is a life-size bronze statue of a racehorse.
This is like a sign, serving as a symbol or symbol of this racecourse.
Rong Jin Shining also looked around curiously. Like He Chen, it was the first time for her to come to such a place.
Hechen stood in front of the bronze statue, looking at the lifelike statue of a horse racing girl with great curiosity.
It was obvious that this was a player, but as to who it was, Kazuomi couldn't answer.
"Who...is this? Is he the winner of the Grand Prize?"
Rongjin Shining also came here, and he was obviously very curious about who the Ma Niang who was built here was.
Kazuomi found the name on the nameplate on the platform: "hibari..."
"This person's name is Yasheng Hibari."
When the two of them were confused, a bloated, round-faced man stood next to He Chen. He introduced the two of them with his hands behind his back.
This middle-aged man, who has white temples and knows his destiny, greeted the two of them very kindly: "They must be from out of town, right? Brother, you brought the horse racing girl here, is it possible that you are here to participate in the competition? Of?"
"Um, no, no, I just brought my students here to watch the game...Eh? Uncle, how did you know that we are from out of town?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged uncle smiled heartily and said: "Hahaha, after all, in the local area, this Ma Niang is often mentioned. Even the children know the bronze statue of Ma Niang. The name. Those who are curious about this must be foreign tourists."
So that's it. He Chen nodded as if he was suddenly aware, while Rong Jin Shining on the side looked a little curious.
"I'm sorry, I would like to ask, is it possible that this horse girl is very strong? If the statue will be repaired, it means that she has achieved very good achievements, right?"
If we think according to common sense, it should be like what Rong Jin Shining said.
but--
"Ah, although Miss Skylark was once a victorious general in our horse racing field, in fact, in the end, she did not achieve results worth bragging about."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them couldn't help but be startled.
This...
"Haha, although Miss Skylark was a contestant more than [-] years ago, she was also one of the first horse girls to be promoted from the local to the central to participate in mud competitions. Although her results were not satisfactory, and she was demoted back to the local in the end. And Now he has retired and ended his playing career.”
"However, Miss Skylark is also our first contestant to go out of the local area. This is more of a thank you than a commemoration."
As he spoke, the man looked at the statue and sighed: "There are not many competitions among the players, but they are enough to be remembered, or should be remembered. Just like when you drink water, you don't forget the well digger, and when you drink water, you remember the spring. , our racecourse here is also known because of Miss Skylark’s competition in the center.”
This must also be a kind of gratitude from local horse racing enthusiasts.
Looking at all this, He Chen couldn't help but express emotion.
However, if you put it this way, who is the middle-aged man in front of you who knows these things thoroughly?
Just as He Chen was thinking about it, the man was the first to speak:
"I'm one of the people in charge here, Yano. I happened to see the stranger Ma Ni here before, so I couldn't help but come over to ask about the situation."
Unexpectedly, the person he met casually was the main person in charge of the racecourse. He Chen quickly stood up and took out his business card from his arms and handed it over:
"Please give me some advice when we meet for the first time. I am Kazuomi Asama, the trainer from Tereson Academy. This is my student, Eijin Shining Shine. I want to come here today to observe the game, study and study..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Yano's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the word Tereson Academy.
"Oh! Could it be that you are the Asama that boy Kouji mentioned?"
"Eh?"
I didn't expect to hear a familiar name from here.
Uncle Yano also hugged Kazuomi enthusiastically: "Haha, that guy Koji contacted me today and said that a junior will come to watch the game. He must be talking about you, Mr. Asama, right? What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet him by chance. "
Seeing the familiar look on his uncle's face, Kazuomi was a little curious: "Um, does Mr. Yano still know Kouji?"
"Why don't you know him? After all, this kid often comes to our place to watch the games. If you ask me, he basically has friends in the racetracks everywhere. This can be regarded as his kid's ability."
This is really awesome...
Indeed, I learned this from Koji. If you are not an experienced fan, you may not even know about this kind of local racecourse.However, Guangsi knew all these very well and was familiar with the roads.
This is the first time that I feel that my senior brother is so reliable——
Although I still don't have a formal appearance on weekdays, it gives people the feeling of being idle.
"That's good, let me be your guide today, right? This is your first time here after all, so let me introduce it to you, right?"
Uncle Yano, who had become familiar with him, very thoughtfully offered to help.It would be a big help for the two of them if they had someone to guide them as they were new here.
However, Hechen considered that the other party was the person in charge here and should be busy with many important things. However, seeing that the enthusiasm was so strong, Hechen could not refuse and could only agree.Accepted Uncle Yano's kindness.
Chapter 70 The Honor of Horse Racing
Under the leadership of Uncle Yano, Kazuomi and Eijin shined so brightly that they did not sit in as spectators like the others, but used his identity to enter the stadium together from the employee passage on the side.
Although it looks much smaller than an ordinary racecourse, the entire racecourse is small in size, but has complete equipment and all aspects of hardware facilities.The backstage area where He Chen and his party passed was also regarded as the glory pavilion of the racecourse.
In fact, every racecourse will have an exhibition hall dedicated to displaying and remembering honors.Players who have become famous here in the past, or games that are worthy of being recorded in history, will be preserved in various forms.
Various trophies and medals are displayed in the bright exhibition hall, and photos are directly displayed on the entire wall. On the opposite wall, there is also a long scarf with similar patterns hanging on it.
Walking along this aisle is like seeing the history of this racecourse.
"This is the ribbon that a player would present at the retirement ceremony when he retires, right?"
He Chen looked at the silk scarf on the wall. Anyone familiar with horse racing knows that after each game, the winner will be surrounded by flowers and crowned with laurels.But when a player is about to retire, there will be a different ceremony.
Yano looked at the direction Kazuomi was pointing at, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, when the players retire, we will try our best to retain everything they have gained. The competition will give birth to more as the game goes on. championship, but these memories will not be overwritten. These symbols are the remembrance of some moments of these players."
"Even after more than ten or twenty years, when future generations come here again, they will still learn about the career of every horse racing lady from the honors on the wall. This is also a thank you from every racecourse to the athletes for putting their own It’s a kind of gratitude for devoting years to the game.”
Rong Jin looked at all this, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.She couldn't tell what it felt like, but she quietly glanced at Kazuo beside her.
"...so good."
Hechen's eyes were soft, and he sighed sincerely, although the mutual success was referring to the trainer and the horse racing girl.But for the player and the track under her feet, they must also echo each other during the competition.Just like some people will kiss this piece of turf, some will stand in a small gate and pray quietly, but equally, some will look straight at the end.
These feelings must not be felt by Kazuomi standing in the audience.
Under the guidance of Uncle Yano, Kazuomi and the others walked through the exhibition hall, walked up the steps, and then came to a place with a wide view.
The booth that appears in the field of vision can be said to be a whole circle smaller than the one seen at the Fuchu Racing Ground. However, it is precisely because of the scale that the audience and fans can come to support the players at close range. .
Compared with the sense of order at Fuzhong Racecourse, the customs and customs of this place are reflected.
Many middle-aged and elderly spectators, even at this age, still enthusiastically stood at the fence outside the booth and cheered loudly to the players who were preparing.
"You have to perform well!!! You can definitely do it!!"
"Oh oh oh oh!! Yu Na Tan!!!"
It's not even the time of the competition yet. If you are in a place like this, you will probably be infected by everyone's fanatical and straightforward emotions.
The players who were supported by the fans also stood gracefully on the stand, showing bright smiles and waving towards them in response:
"Everyone!! Thank you for your support today!! I will definitely run well!!!!"
"Let's fight together!!!!"
"Oooo!!!"
Obviously the players present also enjoyed this atmosphere, and it was their responses that made the atmosphere at the scene even more heated.
Looking at the contestants actively interacting with the audience on the stage, He Chen couldn't help but imagine that if it were Feiying standing on the stage at this time, the atmosphere would be as lively as this, right?
A girl who is cute, lively and lovable will definitely become everyone's favorite idol, right?
"The whole club is really lively."
Facing Kazuomi who sighed like this, Uncle Yano nodded and smiled: "Well! This is also a reflection of the locals' love for horse racing. Of course, you will understand this feeling after watching the mud races here. .”
Although grass races are held regularly here, the dirt races here are the main theme of this racecourse.
Although it is a local event, it has a large local audience. Even in the hearts of many senior horse racing fans, its status is among the top in the rankings of local horse racing venues.
Arena culture is also an existence that can ignite the fire in the hearts of spectators.
Especially due to Uncle Yano's introduction along the way, not only Kazuomi, but even Eijin Shining couldn't help but have some expectations for the game here.
What exactly is the charm of dirt racing?
Can they be fascinated by it?
With such doubts, Kazuomi finally followed Uncle Yano to the side of the field.
After all, He Chen was accompanied by Ma Niang. Although he was not a contestant in this competition, the staff here were still very polite to help them when they saw them.
Yano stood beside the entrance to the stadium. This place is usually where the trainers and their teams watch the game, after all, before the game starts at the end.
The trainers will also find ways to give final speeches to the players to arouse their emotions and enhance their desire to win.
Likewise, the field of view in this area is more of a relatively parallel perspective on the playing field.From here, unlike the grass tracks of other racecourses, the wide black track has an indescribable sense of thickness.
At this time, the staff was directing the car to move towards the gate through the gate, and at the far end there was a road roller driving around the track.
"Is this maintaining the track?"
Kazuomi had studied with the Kiryuin store manager before, so he still had some understanding of the characteristics of mud racing.
This is also a review measure before the game starts.
After all, sand tracks do not require too much investment compared to the maintenance of turf. In addition to daily maintenance, you only need to use a road roller to refill and compact the potholes on the track before the game to ensure The completeness of the track is enough.
Yano glanced at Kazuomi with admiration. He became more and more pleased with this young man who asked for advice humbly, was curious about things, and had a thirst for knowledge.
"You're right, this is the final preparation before the game. The game will start when everyone is here."
Having said that, looking at the racecourse in front of him, Uncle Yano also smiled and spread his hands:
"Welcome to Sakihana Racecourse, to this venue that loves horse racing."
Ps:
Chapter 71 Trainers also have to stand on the track?
This is a heart-pounding game.
Until the end of the game, Kazuomi seemed to be still on the field, cheering enthusiastically for the players on the field while shouting at the top of his lungs.
Especially when the winner's performance was performed directly on the field, the fanatical atmosphere was pushed to the climax.
After reacting, He Chen and Rong Jin Shining were already sitting in the staff rest area.
Time, ten past four.
"It's really amazing..."
He Chen looked at the clock in the lounge, recalling everything that had just happened, and couldn't help but sigh.
Rong Jin Shining nodded slightly. Even she couldn't help but sigh that the competition here was so fanatical.The competition was fierce and the scene was very popular. The winner's performance after the competition was simply due to the enthusiasm of the audience. The contestants turned the performance of only one song into an open-air concert.
The excitement at the scene also overshadowed the singing of the contestants time and time again.
