It was already eight o'clock now.

The gates of various areas of the racecourse were opened, and countless tourists and horse fans who had already held tickets to wait outside flocked in, enough to accommodate more than 80,000 seats. At first glance, it was about 80% full, and a huge noise sounded in the entire racecourse.

The first game is about to begin.

However, it is said that this is just an appetizer. The horse racing and jockey participating in are relatively average and relatively few competitive.

"By the way, what are the odds for Brother Ma?" Song Che asked casually at the noisy and lively horse farm.

"One penalty of sixty." Huo Jingwen smiled bitterly: "It's the highest odds in our game."

Song Che whistled and couldn't help laughing.

Such high odds are naturally not because everyone is looking at them high, but because they are looking at them too low!

This is also an unexpected result.

Due to factors such as identity and bloodline, as soon as Brother Xiaoma entered the eyes of all dealers and lottery players, he was a "three-no wild horse". In addition, he had no fame or experience like a jockey, so he naturally had to give the highest odds to be worthy of the public's opinion.

"I don't know how many people bet on Brother Xiao Ma. Anyway, our family didn't." Huo Jingwen half-jokingly said: "It's not that you don't trust you, but you also know that our family's first family rule is that family members are not allowed to be involved in gambling."

Song Che can only laugh.

Of course he remembered the Huo family's family rules.

The Huo family, which made their fortune in the gambling industry, has a very strange family rule: Family members are strictly prohibited from participating in gambling.

In the cruise casino, Huo Jingwen's younger brother Huo Mingwen encouraged Zhao Xiyue to bet with Song Che, but he was out of the matter, saying that his family was not allowed to engage in gambling.

This is the same as people who sell white flour often do not touch white flour. Huo Changsheng, who is well aware of the harm of gambling, will never allow a gambler to appear in his family.

"Let me guess, your family doesn't participate in gambling, but you should be indispensable to the dealer." Song Che sneered.

Huo Jingwen didn't care if he was exposed and said frankly: "This kind of game always requires the dealer, but even if we make money, we will donate it to charity without any money. Our family is not short of this gambling money."

This is Huo Changsheng's cleverness. He can earn a steady reputation without losing money, which is equivalent to doing charity to clean up his own gambling industry and buy peace of mind.

"How about it, do you want to play a few games?" Huo Jingwen suggested.

Song Che thought about it, took out his cell phone, and asked Huo Jingwen very seriously: "We basically don't bring cash in the mainland. Can we transfer money on Alipay or WeChat?"

“…”

...

At this moment, the first batch of horse racing had been led by the jockeys to the stadium and came to the rushing place...

The horse racing still wore eye masks, and even their ears were blocked to avoid being stimulated by the huge noise of the horse farm.

The starting point of the horse racing is composed of small spaces separated by each horse. Each horse occupies a single space. The partition in front of the space is electronically controlled. When the gun is fired, the partition will automatically open to give up the track for the horse.

At this time, in the racecourse, a beautiful host was introducing the guests who participated in the horse racing conference. Song Che remembered that the host was once a well-known actress in Macau and Hong Kong, and later married a lame rich man.

At the starting point, all the participating horses and jockeys are undergoing the final procedure of weighing their weight.

This is just like people of the same level of weight in boxing competitions that require people of the same level to compete in the same field. Speed ​​racing also pays attention to the weight of horses, otherwise people who are as light as swallows will take advantage of it.

Although Huo Jingwen mentioned that only a small-body jockey is the most standard template, there must be certain restrictions on the competition, so that some jockeys will dehydrate themselves and lose weight into mummies in order to reduce the weight of the horse racing as much as possible.

So there is a minimum weight requirement for the jockey: fifty kilograms!

If it is lower than that, the horse must be carried with the corresponding lead block until it reaches fifty kilograms.

Weighing overweight lasted for about ten minutes. After all the horses were fully inspected, they were pulled to their respective track starting lines according to the number.

At this moment, the horse racing eye mask and earplugs were taken off. Sensing the hot atmosphere around, the horse racing began to get restless one after another.

The owner, jockey and horse trainer all surrounded the horse racing, using their own methods to try to increase the excitement of the horse racing at the last moment so that they can burst out all their energy during the race.

It was not until the last minute or half minute countdown that the jockey rode on the horse, which was also to maintain the horse's physical strength as much as possible and accumulate every bit of strength in the horse's body into the competition.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...two, one, bang!"

As the countdown was over, a sharp start sounded gunfire throughout the field.

At the same time, the partition in front opened at the same time, and more than ten racehorses rushed out of the starting point, like bows and arrows leaving the strings!

At this moment, the passion of the entire racecourse was finally ignited in full swing. A tsunami shout came from the audience, causing huge sounds over the racecourse.

Perhaps because of the fact that these horses, who were already impatient, had already been holding back their horses, had already been holding back their horses. Once they were out of the gate, they immediately burst out with the fastest horsepower.

Although there were only more than ten horses, they ran out in one after another, and their momentum was quite extraordinary. A strong wind was brought on the track. The sound of horse hooves hit the audience in the venue like a heavy drum under the effect of the ground loudspeaker.

As the horse speed continued to accelerate, tens of thousands of spectators in the field became crazy and yelled intoxicatedly, cheering for the horse they were interested in. The deafening sound formed an invisible wave of air, echoing over the horse farm for a long time.

The 800-meter short-range horse racing only reached the finish line in an instant.

At the moment when the horse crossed the line, it seemed like an invisible hand was commanding above the horse field. The huge noise suddenly stopped, and everyone silenced at the same time and held their breath. The silence from crazy yelling to audible drop of needles formed a huge contrast.

This is the charm of horse racing. From one extreme to another, it brings unparalleled sensory stimulation and makes people fall in love with this sport.

"Who is the first one?"

"It seems to be a No. 6 horse?"

"No, it's No. 8 horse! I can see it very clearly!"

"You're blind. It's obviously No. 9, and its nose is the first to cross the line!"

After a brief silence, another roar broke out in the horse farm, and people were speculating about the horses that finally crossed the line.

The reason why the word "guess" is that when the horse is running at a high speed, except for the seven or eight infrared cameras at the finish line, no one can tell which horse was the first to cross the line.

The distance between the few horses just now was very close, and they almost all rushed to the finish line at the same moment. Even the jockey on the horse's back didn't know who won the first place. At this moment, like the horse fans on the scene, they were waiting for the results to be announced.

The organizer of the Jockey Club did not make the audience and horse fans tangle for long. Just one minute after the horses crossed the line, several large screens on the horses had begun to play back the slow motion of the horses crossed the line just now.

The entire process of the picture is played out frame by frame, and three of the horses almost crossed the finish line at the same time!

But the middle one was slightly ahead of one or two centimeters, which was more than one centimeter insignificant, which determined the championship of this game!

"Damn it! Why is this horse?"

"I said it's No. 8! You're just blind!"

"Oh! This time I lost a lot, it's not good to go to the army!"

"What's the rush? This is the first game, but the prize is only a few hundred thousand, and the highlight is the next one."

After seeing the final result, the horse farm heard various cheers and sighs, which could be said to be happy and sad.

"The number eight won the first place, the number nine won the second place, and the number six won the third place. Congratulations to everyone! Please bring the horse to the regular inspection office!"

The official radio also rang, urging the jockey to take a urine test before the horse racing. Only when the test is performed and the results are correct can this result be considered true and effective.

Like human competitive sports, horse racing also has strict rules and regulations for anti-doping cheating, especially short-range speed racing. Not only do you have to weigh your weight before opening the gate, but after crossing the line, you also need to undergo a urine test before you can announce your results.

"Yeah! Our horses win! Yeah! Yeah!"

"A Xiang! We won! We won this bet!"

"This time, it's good that I'll buy it with you! I'm getting rich!"

After the radio rang, three or four of the group of anxiously waiting horse owners cheered excitedly at the same time, while more horse owners were dejected.

Song Che took this detail into his eyes and said curiously: "What's going on with those people? The team is a bit too many."

"Those people are all horse owners. Huo Jingwen glanced at them and smiled, "The horse racing they bought together. If they win the competition, they can share the bonus together. It's like raising funds to speculate in real estate and stocks."

"Can you still play like this." Song Che laughed.

"Horse racing should not be just a game for rich people, and civilians also have the right to participate," explained Huo Jingwen.

You know, now a slightly average racehorse starts at hundreds of thousands of yuan, and if it is a purebred horse, it is even more an astronomical figure.

Rich people like Huo Changsheng and Lin Jiulong naturally don’t care. Tens of millions of dollars are just a blink of an eye.

The civilian class could not bear it, but it could not stop the dream of getting rich in the civilian stage. So the organizer deliberately left a "loophole" of the rule, allowing joint ventures to buy horses to participate in the competition.

Of course, the horse owner can only be one person. As for how to divide the bonuses after you get it, it depends on the internal negotiation of the team.

As long as the horse is properly trained and more competitions can be participated in, the cost of a horse racing can actually be almost made back in one horse season, which has also given birth to many small equestrian clubs.

This is also what the Jockey Club officials are happy to see. They do not want everyone to think that horse racing is a game for the powerful and powerful class, and let the civilian class participate. Let’s have a few more inspirational cases. This is the national movement.

Of course, under normal circumstances, they can only participate in these competitions without famous horses. For example, the competitions where world-famous horses gather are not qualified to be involved. If they are too greedy, they should be doomed!

Therefore, in Song Che's view, this is purely the "generous alms" of the powerful and powerful class. This kind of appetizing competition with less bonuses is OK for these civilians to come in and play. The highlight of the subsequent event is destined to be a contest between the powerful and the powerful!

“Really hypocritical.”

Song Che silently complained.
Chapter completed!
