I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

The person who received Izumi Yujin was Miyata's assistant, Kunieda Eiji's assistant.

A stable will have several trainer assistants.

These assistants help relieve the trainers of some of the workload, and they can also be responsible for some of the training of racehorses.

These assistants will also try to qualify as horse trainers.

This has led to the formation of many factions among horse trainers, and some riders and future horse trainers even have an innate bond.

If you can get into the main stable as an assistant, your future network of connections will be quite extensive.

This process allows you to meet many influential horse owners.

"Mr. Izumi, is this your first time visiting the Miura Training Center?"

Miyata's assistant was wearing a stable uniform.

The work clothes of people working in the horse racing industry are all pretty much the same, and he is over thirty years old this year.

"This is the first time, and this opportunity just happens to come."

Yujin Izumi shook hands with the other person.

He glanced briefly at the stables; the stables of top trainers were no different from those of other trainers.

A two-story building served as the daily workplace for the horse trainers and stable hands.

The two-story building connects to the stables, while the row of buildings opposite is where the racehorses bathe daily.

"Izumi, come with me, I'll take you inside."

Miyata's assistant led Izumi Hisahito inside.

Although Earth Star has only been here for a few days, it has already become the new darling of their stable.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Assistant Miyata."

Yuujin Izumi glanced at the bathing area again.

He then quickly followed.

As soon as you enter from the outside, you see individual stables.

The gate and fence were made of iron, and various cleaning tools were placed in front of the iron gate.

Neigh—

As soon as Izumi Yujin entered, he saw a racehorse standing at the door.

What attracted Yujin Izumi's attention the most was today's board.

It shows the name of the racehorse, the date of the race, the name of the jockey, and the type of training track.

One is the Sakaji Circuit.

The other one is the wood chip track.

The Sakaro track is the most intense, but it can also quickly build muscle.

The wood chip track reduces training stress while maintaining a simple daily exercise level.

"Star, your horse owner has come to see you."

Assistant Miyata walked to the room on Earth and knocked on the door.

The racehorses at this time have just finished lunch and are resting.

*Sizzle*

Earth Star is resting against the wall.

You'd think it was being kept in solitary confinement if you didn't know better.

Upon hearing his name called, Earth Star slowly walked to the door and rested his neck on the railing.

"She's gotten much stronger since the last time we met, and, well, she's become even more beautiful."

"Stars, do you still remember me?"

Yuji Izumi touched it a couple of times.

Earth's mental state has also changed quite a bit; perhaps it was because he was too crazy during our last meeting.

*Sizzle*

Earth Star didn't dodge; instead, it let Izumi Yuujin touch it.

Its ears also started to twitch.

It is very curious about Yujin Izumi.

Have we met before?

"Earth's strength is not bad, but its personality is a bit too active. We are currently trying to figure out a solution."

"This is what Miyata's assistant said from the side."

Such a racehorse is unlikely to go very far, but Earth Star's quality has been recognized by everyone.

No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't unleash your full potential.

Many competitions, once missed, can change the course of one's entire career.

"I knew when it was one year old, so I'll have to trouble you to take good care of it."

"Izumi Yuujin said with a hint of helplessness."

This is indeed not something that can be changed easily.

Humans and horses do not speak the same language.

Many racehorses have this kind of personality, and once it's formed, it's very difficult to change. The only option is to make tactical adjustments based on the horse's condition.

Front and back, front and back.

Earth heard its own name and its ears twitched even faster.

What are you saying? What are you saying?

Let me hear it!

"Miyata, will there be any problems with the Earth Star entrance exam?"

Yuji Izumi then asked.

He was very curious about when Earth Star would hold its first race.

"There's absolutely no need to worry about the exam. Although Earth Star has some personality issues, he fully meets the standards in terms of entry and ability."

Miyata's assistant waved his hand.

Their stables can guarantee that.

According to his understanding, Earth Star is not cheap, and this maternal bloodline was imported from abroad.

"May I take a picture?"

Yuji Izumi believed in the capabilities of Masafumi Kunieda.

He took out his phone.

"No problem, as long as it doesn't reflect anything else."

Miyata's assistant was already used to it.

Besides the horse owners returning, the stables sometimes host various interviews by television stations.

Neigh—

Earth Star has an impression of mobile phones.

This thing doesn't taste good, and it's not very useful except for making strange noises.

"That's fine."

Yuujin Izumi fixed his hair and then stood next to Earth.

"Then I'll start filming."

Miyata's assistant held up Izumi Yuuhito's phone and spoke to the man and the horse.

Both the person and the horse are very good-looking.

In recent years, China Horse Racing has clearly been trying to create an atmosphere of idols.

ka ka ka-

Assistant Miyata has extensive experience in helping others take photos.

He handed the phone back and then asked:

"Does the Izumi horse owner have any favorite Miura riders?"

In Singapore and Malaysia, jockeys need to bring their racehorses to the exam.

"I'm not very familiar with the other riders. The only one I'm on good terms with is rider Takeshi Yokoyama."

Yuji Izumi quickly rubbed Earth's face twice more.

He is content for today.

Takeshi Yokoyama is the only rider he has any connection with.

"Hmm...we'll see how to arrange it later."

Miyata's assistant nodded.

He understood the meaning behind those words, and he would talk to Guozhi about it that evening.

If the horse owner doesn't have many resources, then he can only rely on the stables.

Kunieda Eishi Stable is definitely influential in this regard.

"Star, train hard, I'm looking forward to your first match."

Yuji Izumi checked the time.

Today was mainly a visit; he's done what he needed to do and is now heading to his next destination.

The horse's body has changed a lot in the past six months.

Earth Star, at the second half of its first year, is still somewhat clueless, but by the first half of its second year, it already has the feel of a professional racehorse.

This horse has well-defined muscles, and its chest and leg muscles are more developed.

This is the result of years of accumulated training and practice.

*Sizzle*

Earth Star glanced at Izumi Yuuhito, then chose to continue facing the wall.

Not interesting.

This is less interesting than watching other racehorses argue in the stable.

Before leaving, Miyata's assistant mentioned the expected debut date.

Singaporean and Malaysian racers mainly participate in races in July and August.

After the test, the racehorses leave the stables to rest and recover. They will return to the stables to prepare for their first race when they are almost fully recovered and the time is right.

"Izumi-maru, Kunieda-sensei is quite optimistic about Earth Star."

As Izumi Hisahito was leaving, Miyata's assistant said something.

If you can win the favor of the trainers here, you'll definitely receive different treatment.

It's not impossible that she'll become the darling of the shelter in the future.

"Understood."

Yuji Izumi nodded.

This is a good thing for Earth.

He did the right thing by sending Earth Star to Kunieda's cell.
