I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

The legendary glass cannon!

If we were to point out any drawbacks of the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, the most obvious one would be their slow post-match recovery.

This means that it has to forgo the normal preliminary rounds, namely the Tier 1 warm-up tournaments, when scheduling the competition.

For a racehorse to directly participate in a Group 1 race, the trainer needs to have sufficient ability so that the racehorse can find its competitive condition before the race.

The competition levels are mainly divided into Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 with high prizes, and then Open and Listed competitions.

The starting point for horse racing is the new race, with no wins, one-win group, two-win group, and three-win group.

The prize money for the tournament gradually increases with the level of competition, and it multiplies several times over in the first-level tournament.

The prize money varies for each Tier 1 competition.

In Japan, the highest prize money is awarded in grass-court middle-distance races, while the lowest prize money is awarded in dirt races.

Europe prefers miles, the US prefers dirt tracks, and Australia prefers shorter distances.

Dubai and Saudi Arabia are simply rich.

"It would be best if the mares could be sent to trainer Sakae Kunieda."

Yuji Izumi continued.

It would be best if Earth Star, this mare, could be delivered into Kunieda Sakae's hands.

Trainer Eiichiro Kunie is a veteran in the domestic horse racing industry, specializing in training mares.

The fact that Kunieda Ei managed to breed an almond-eyed mare is enough to prove his prowess in the field of mares.

Izumi Yuujin wants Kunieda Sakae to train Earth Planet, which is perfectly fine.

"Okay, Mr. Izumi, is there anything else you need?"

Yu Matsumoto pursed his lips.

Although Mr. Izumi was a newcomer, he really did select the best trainers.

That's bold!

It's a good thing that these two ponies have such an owner.

"That's all for now. I'll contact you again if I think of anything else."

Yuji Izumi thought for a moment.

Today's main task was to finalize the contract signing and arrange trainers for Chunqiufen and Diqiuxing for next year.

This is the procedure for arranging horses before a race.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now. I'll contact your trainer once I get back to Tokyo."

Yu Matsumoto got up and took the leather bag next to him.

Matsumoto Yu's outfit makes him look like an office worker, but his muscles look rather strange.

He has successfully completed his mission this time.

As for the pony auction in July, he doesn't know if Yuujin Izumi will make any big moves.

The pony auction can be described as an annual grand event.

"Well, I hope the trainer issue can be decided soon. If not, we can always look for others."

Yuji Izumi nodded, then looked out the window and finished his coffee.

With the first phase of things settled, he'll have a much easier time from now on.

If Hori Nobuyuki and Kunieda Sakae are both unsuitable, he has a second choice.

The Mipo Training Centre has a wide selection of trainers to choose from.

One is Kurito, the other is Miura, and Izumi Yujin prefers to place them on Miura's side.

This place is the closest to Nakayama Racecourse and Tokyo Racecourse.

These two racecourses host most of the country's major races.

...

Ding-dong—

Ding-dong—

Ding-dong—

A chestnut-haired mud horse was pulling a carriage along the street.

Besides horse racing, Hokkaido also has mud horses that participate in weight-bearing competitions.

This relatively primitive mode of transportation is indeed quite uncommon.

"This mud horse with bells is quite cute."

Yuji Izumi took out his phone and recorded this part.

This scene attracted many tourists to stop and discuss it.

Every city has its own unique characteristics.

He needs to get to know the new city where he will be living for the next few years.

...

In the following days, Yujin Izumi received many calls from horse trainers.

These trainers were the same trainers who were responsible for the other racehorses under his name. The main purpose of the exchange was to see what the new owner thought.

Yuji Izumi gave them a reassuring answer: this friendship would not simply disappear.

He won't give up this industry that allows him to make a fortune.

The horse owners will continue to work, but Yuji Izumi will not put his strongest racehorses into the hands of these ordinary trainers.

On the other hand, news has also spread that Hisahito Izumi spent over 100 million yen on horse racing this year.

There are quite a few horse owners in the central area, but not many newcomers are willing to spend so much money in their first year.

It's normal for a new horse owner and a new trainer to work together.

However, Yuji Izumi did not have this idea.

Yuji Izumi was thinking that he would find some racehorses worth millions in the future, and then send them to these ordinary trainers to slowly win the lottery.

For a successful horse owner, all of this requires preparation.

Next month, there will be a race at the Zhongshan Racecourse featuring horses owned by Yujin Izumi.

He was thinking of going to watch a race and make an appearance, so that he could become known to other trainers and owners and not be unknown to others if he won an important race.

Yuji Izumi was really looking forward to meeting those famous trainers and riders up close.

What I'm most looking forward to is meeting Li Muhua at the Zhongshan Racecourse.

Almond-shaped eyes and the son of the spring and autumn equinoxes.

A foreign chef who fried himself into a fish.

Thinking of this, Yuuji Izumi recalled the bizarre live-action version of the horse racing girl played by Li Muhua and Wu Feng.

Wu Feng and Li Muhua can be considered the "Northern Black" and "Diamond" of the horse racing world.

Two riders dancing the tango—it's hard not to laugh after watching it.

Having two legendary riders in their forties and fifties appear on such a show is hard for fans and viewers to accept.

But the program achieved its intended effect.

-----------------

Beihai Ranch.

Yuujin Izumi sat on the railing, looking out at the forest.

Every now and then, a fawn would run out.

Deer are not protected animals here; in fact, hunting fawns can earn you a government reward.

Pest!

For ranches that raise racehorses, deer are even more destructive.

Even-toed ungulates versus odd-toed ungulates!

The fences surrounding the ranch are just for show for them; they can easily jump over them.

Hey, I'm coming in.

Hey, I'm out again.

Go ahead and hit me, you idiot!

"These deer are truly fearless and act with complete impunity."

Yuujin Izumi looked at the herd of deer leaping along the railing ahead and said.

It was as if they were in an empty place.

They won't be afraid of people unless you rush at them with something like a stick.

At human speed, it's absolutely impossible to catch up with them.

"The surrounding ranches had tried to find a solution before, but they all gave up in the end because these deer run too fast."

Rancher Arai was standing behind Yuuhito Izumi at that moment.

He actually came today to take care of other things.

However, he has not yet found the right opportunity.

He felt a lot of pressure after seeing online that the Izumi family had gained two more one-year-old foals.

"Just make sure you have a contingency plan; horse racers are indeed timid."

Despite their larger size, racehorses are actually afraid of deer.

There are quite a few racehorses that can be frightened by their own shadows.

But that's how Thoroughbreds were bred; because they're timid, they're very fast.

Yuji Izumi nodded.

These are all historical issues, and he alone certainly doesn't have the power to change them.

As long as there are no problems with your own ranch, it's fine.

These deer routinely invade pastures, and what's most frightening is that they sometimes attack racehorses. Moreover, the deer carry all sorts of germs.

If a racehorse gets injured, it's truly the end for them.

"Izumi Rancher..."

After much hesitation, Rancher Arai finally spoke.

He rubbed his rough hands together somewhat uneasily.

"Just tell me what's wrong, Arai-kun."

Yuji Izumi looked at the hesitant ranch manager and said.

He still had a considerable amount of emergency funds left.

This is mainly to deal with various special circumstances. As for making money, we can wait until the spring and autumn equinoxes next year and when Earth Star goes public.
