I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Chapter 106 The Fans' Voices

The news generated a greater response than Izumi Yujin had anticipated.

The news that Xueshan was going abroad to participate in a competition immediately became a trending topic.

There were many messages of blessings and anticipation.

With this year's competition over, Xue Shan can be said to have conquered all the domestic competitions.

Many people believe that Yujin Izumi, as a new horse owner, will allow Seisakusho to continue to reap the rewards domestically.

For a new horse owner to go abroad to compete is a very bold decision!

Previously, most of the horses that went on those expeditions were owned by big horse owners or came from major clubs in Japan.

Most small horse owners would prefer to stay in the country.

It is very difficult for small horse owners to own a Group 1 champion racehorse; they may not get one for more than a decade. Naturally, they would prefer to earn more money from racing horses in China.

[Am I seeing things? The snow mountain is really going on an overseas expedition?]

Is this source reliable? Are they lying to us? Are they really going to Saudi Arabia and Dubai?

The snow-capped mountains are about to step onto the world stage.

[Expedition! Expedition—!]

However, there are more doubts about the ability to conduct long-distance expeditions to snow-capped mountains.

Snow Mountain has no experience in long-distance expeditions. No matter how strong a racehorse is, if it is not adapted to foreign conditions, it will not be able to perform to its full potential.

This was definitely a rash decision by the horse owner, made without considering the consequences.

Being strong domestically doesn't guarantee success internationally; achieving results on clay is impossible.

The Dubai World Cup is no longer an all-weather track, so are you still holding onto any expectations?

[It's a pity, Snow Mountain's winning streak is about to end.]

The horse owner is too arrogant.

A racehorse may perform well in its own country, but that doesn't guarantee it will perform well overseas.

Moreover, Japan's dirt track performance has always been mediocre, lagging far behind that of American dirt track horse racing.

Lorraine Army Song's victory in the Breeders' Cup this year was a major upset; no one expected the daughter of the Golden Master to win the Breeders' Cup.

It's great to win, but that excitement quickly fades.

Any seasoned horse racing fan knows that it's impossible for Lorraine Army to replicate a victory like this again.

"These people are really good at being sarcastic and cynical. They're already predicting the worst before we've even left."

Yu Matsumoto felt his fist harden.

If this were offline, he would be absolutely confident that he could lift these people up with one hand.

These people will mock you.

Although he supported Xue Shan's overseas expeditions, he was still afraid of unexpected situations.

"Don't worry about them, these must be people who were hurt by the snow mountain before."

Yuji Izumi was smiling as he played on his phone.

As for how they were hurt, only those people themselves know.

He was enjoying his life at that moment.

The prize money he earned from horse racing last year is gradually arriving in his account, and nothing could make him happier than this moment.

"They were indeed hurt quite badly; I never thought Xueshan could take first place."

"This is what Matsumoto Hiromichi said."

But looking at the year as a whole, it was a miracle.

The speed at which the snow-capped mountain horse rose after transitioning to muddy terrain was so rapid that other racehorses might face many hardships even after the transition.

"Are the paperwork and insurance almost done?"

Izumi Hisahito is more concerned about this.

The horse owner also has a lot of preparations to make; he certainly can't afford to delay the snow mountain's trip abroad.

"That's about it. Once we start work after the New Year, things can proceed normally."

Yuto Matsumoto has made contact with almost all of them.

He was very concerned about the snow-capped mountains.

People like Izumi Hisahito, who are backed by family conglomerates, have many advantages.

The Izumi family members are all willing to help the youngest child in the family.

"Well, then the rest depends on Takagi-sensei's side."

Yuji Izumi believed in Hiroshi Matsumoto's business acumen.

When Matsumoto Yu says it's almost done, it really is almost done.

Just give him the document to sign later.

This is not an easy task.

But he believed that Takagi would assign the last of his men to be in charge of training in the snow mountain.

The staff at Takagi Horse Stable have recently been preparing to travel abroad.

This type of invitation visa is much easier to get approved.

"Now we can only believe it. I never thought that Xueshan could go abroad to participate in the competition."

Yu Matsumoto hadn't even imagined that the snow mountain would be abroad until a few days ago.

I told Izumi Yujin that day, and only then did he believe it was true.

Going abroad actually requires a skilled horse trainer, but Takagi Noboru is clearly not an option.

"We should have some faith in Takagi-sensei, and also in Yokoyama-kun and Setsuzan."

Yuji Izumi rolled his eyes at Yu Matsumoto.

Doesn't this mean they don't believe in Takagi Mabo's abilities?

"I was just venting a little, but these are the fans' true feelings."

Yu Matsumoto gave an awkward laugh.

He has been keeping a close eye on news related to the snow-capped mountains for the past few days.

This international competition represents something different.

"I have heard your voices."

Yuji Izumi nodded.

Yu Matsumoto has become the biggest fan of the snow mountain.

What he said is indeed not wrong.

The horse owner, Yujin Izumi, said he has heard the fans' voices.

Yujin Izumi's live stream.

Yujin Izumi started his last live stream of 2021.

After doing all that, he can enjoy his vacation.

"This is the last live stream of the year. The main purpose of this stream is to draw the number plates for the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and the Snow Mountain."

Yujin Izumi took out his number plates for the two matches.

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and snow-capped mountains are the most popular characters in his live stream.

In comparison, EarthStar is indeed much worse, after all, EarthStar has not yet achieved any results.

[The streamer is finally waiting for you to start streaming again.]

It's been so long since I've seen the streamer's handsome face!

[It's obvious he's just saying whatever he dreamt about. Anyone who watched the game these past two days would have seen the commentator.]

[Host, are we having another giveaway? Let me win this time!]

As soon as Yujin Izumi started his live stream, a lot of people flooded into the room.

This is the level of excitement surrounding the Hope Championship and the Tokyo Grand Prix.

The fact that both races were won by the same owner naturally caused a great deal of media attention.

Then there are those who are concerned about the veracity of the story about Xue Shan going abroad.

This is a big deal!

[Answerer, is Xue Shan really going to go abroad next year?]

Yes, yes, I've seen many media outlets report on this.

At this point, no one could give a more accurate answer than the horse owner himself.

"Your comments are coming a little too fast, let me finish the giveaway first."

Yuji Izumi has already set up the lottery.

First, draw the number for the Spring and Autumn Equinox Hope Championship, and then draw the number for the Snow Mountain Tokyo Grand Prix.

The number plate for the snow mountain is still quite dusty.

Just send it out as is.

Izumi Yuujin only started answering the previous questions after the lottery had begun.

This time, in addition to paying for a question, there was also a paid congratulation for his two important victories at the end of the year.

"Thank you all for your congratulations. I'm so happy to have so many people supporting me, and also to the horse racers. I'd like to thank them all here."

"And another thing is to wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance."

Izumi Yuuhito received so many congratulatory messages that he could only reply to them all.

There were far more people watching his live stream today than before.

This is where many new people who know him have come.

Yuji Izumi estimates that there are many newspaper staff members or whistleblowers in the horse racing industry among them.

These people know where to get the latest insider information.

As soon as Izumi Yujin started his live stream, they specially arranged for someone to come to the live stream room to wait for Izumi Yujin to reveal information.

[Live stream, enough with the congratulations, hurry up and finish.]

[Yeah, hurry up, so many bosses are waiting for next year's competition schedule.]

[Snow Mountain, do you really want to go abroad? Maybe you should stay in the country for another year.]

"Yes, the snow mountain matter is basically settled, now we're just waiting for the official invitation."

Yuji Izumi took a sip of water.

The rider and trainer have already communicated.

He had prepared everything the horse owner needed to do in advance.

Now, all that's missing for the snow mountain trip abroad is the official email invitation; we can only wait for that.
