I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Niigata is indeed a great place.

If he were to retire, Izumi Hisahito might choose this place.

Niigata is primarily an agricultural region, with rice as its main product, and it is one of the most famous rice-producing areas in Japan.

Outside of Tokyo and Osaka, they are pretty much the same.

Apart from some high-rise buildings in the city center, the rest of the area consists of ordinary two-story buildings, and there isn't much foot traffic.

The main mode of transportation is the bus, and the subway is only available in major areas.

Another advantage is that taking a taxi here is much cheaper than in Tokyo.

Izumi Yujin has mainly been hiking and exploring the forest these past few days.

Getting away from the city gives you a different feeling.

Yujin Izumi thoroughly enjoyed his three-day holiday in Niigata, hiking, visiting forests, and going to the beach.

He visited all the famous places in Niigata.

Under normal circumstances, Izumi Hisahito would never travel this far for tourism.

For the new horse race at the spring and autumn equinoxes, Izumi Yujin has absolutely nothing to worry about.

Compared to the unstable Earth, the spring and autumn equinoxes are definitely reliable entities.

Stable and efficient!

Aside from slightly weaker self-healing abilities, there aren't any major problems during the spring and autumn equinoxes.

On Thursday, Yujin Izumi watched Li Muhua ride Chunqiufen in the pre-race chase.

The results in the week before the spring and autumn divisions were much better than the previous week.

It continues to grow through daily training.

Hori Nobuyuki came to Niigata Racecourse specifically to watch this race.

There weren't any particularly important matches this week.

Trainers naturally have time to come and see the racehorses they are interested in at such times.

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes were among his favorite racehorses.

"Mr. Izumi, a very fine horse."

"If this horse can grow up healthily, it will be a racehorse with a bright future."

After it was over, Li Muhua said in Japanese.

He has been in Japan for many years, but his Japanese is still not very good, although he can still speak simple Japanese.

Li Muhua was very satisfied with the Spring and Autumn Equinox after riding it just once.

Unexpectedly, he actually got a good horse.

"A good horse needs a top rider. Mr. Li Muhua, the Spring and Autumn Equinox is entrusted to you."

Yuji Izumi said with a smile.

The selection of riders depends on their background in horse racing, especially for someone like Li Muhua, whose horses are mostly from several clubs under the Northern Ranch Group.

However, Li Muhua, as an individual horse owner, would not refuse to own top racehorses.

No one will complain about earning too much.

There is no shortage of top jockeys in the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes level of horse racing. If Li Muhua has problems, Hori Nobuyuki can find other top jockeys.

"Um."

Li Muhua nodded, then exchanged a few words with Hori Nobuyuki before leaving.

The matches he will be participating in this week have all been confirmed.

The most important match is to see how Chunqiu performs on the field.

"Does Mr. Izumi have anything to say?"

Hori Nobuo walked over.

He was very satisfied with the performance of the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes.

Initially, this racehorse was not considered a favorite, but after training it, people realized that it had unlimited potential.

The only downside is that the recovery is very poor.

The derby between the three-year-old Satsuki Shō and the derby may become a problem.

"No, just follow this pace. I definitely trust Hori Nobuoshi."

Yuji Izumi shook his head.

He really didn't have much to say.

Chunqiufen is in excellent form right now, and their popularity was already second in this match before it even started.

Neigh—

The Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, who were standing nearby, had been waiting for a while.

Its neighbor, Earth, has already gone to rest.

Touch it.

Yuuji Izumi reached out and touched the somewhat restless spring and autumn equinoxes.

It looks like they want to go back and rest.

The pre-match physical examination went smoothly, and now we're just waiting for Sunday's match.

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

Niigata Racecourse, 5R.

Two-year-old Singapore and Malaysia

1800m outside Zhizuo

Weather: Cloudy

Zhi: good

Start time: 12:25

At the start of the match, Chunqiufen was the second most popular player.

The most popular character is Satomi Taiyoujin, ridden by Kawada Masaya.

A divine revelation revealed the birth of a foal.

This racehorse performed exceptionally well in training and had excellent statistics, so it outperformed Chunqiu Fen this time.

Needless to say, the racehorses sponsored by Satomi are a prime example. Satomi himself is a big boss, and in recent years he has bought quite a few Grade 1 racehorses.

While the Satomi family's racehorses may not be the strongest, their market value is guaranteed.

Osamu Satomi bought many racehorses worth hundreds of millions of yen, but only a few of these high-quality horses were able to successfully break through the competition.

The third most popular is the King's Palace Club, and the rider is Yuichi Fukunaga.

This time, I was assigned to gate number two, which is a pretty good location.

Before the match began, Nezumi Yujin and Hori Nobuyuki did not make any demands on Li Muhua.

Feel free to improvise.

This demonstrates absolute confidence in both the racehorse and the jockey.

"This match is very exciting, and I feel that the champion will be decided between Satomi Taiyoujin and Shunjukubun."

"In terms of position, I think Shimakawa Sky will compete for first place, while Shibata has a wealth of racing experience."

The commentators began their pre-match analysis.

Yoshiomi Shibata is a living fossil in the world of riders; he is even older than Yutaka Take.

However, this veteran is not as resilient as Wu Feng, who can still compete for the top-level championship at this age.

Shimakawa Sky's strategy for securing a position is simple: this racehorse weighs only 420 kilograms, making it much smaller than Earth Star.

"Fifteen racehorses successfully entered the gate."

"start!"

"As expected, Shimakawa Sky started accelerating as soon as it left the gate!"

"Its goal is to be number one in this game."

"There was a problem with the horses exiting the gate at gate number one, and that position was taken by Chunqiufen."

Li Muhua glanced at the inner path and then chose to accelerate.

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes followed the inner path and began to accelerate forward.

It's difficult to control your speed in an 1800-meter race. This distance is between 1600 and 2000 meters, and often you'll run at a mile pace in the first half.

When he looked towards the outer path, Shimakawa Sky from the outer path had already rushed over.

Shibata Yoshiomi didn't dare to push the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, so he took the opportunity to move Shimakawa Sora to the front position.

Following Shimakawa Sora on the outer path was racehorse number 13.

Kawada Masayasaku's Satomi Taiyoujin arrived at the middle of the group.

What he needs to pay attention to in this game is the spring and autumn equinoxes.

Hori Nobuyuki stated in an interview that he is very optimistic about this year's spring and autumn equinoxes.

Spring and Autumn Equinox secured a favorable position on the inner path without any pressure, and naturally moved up to third place.

Although the wind-breaking horse in front is a bit small, it can still serve the purpose of breaking the wind.

Spring and autumn equinoxes can conserve a considerable amount of energy on the inside lane during competitions.

*Sizzle*

*Sizzle*

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes showed great composure in their first competition.

It demonstrated its exceptional quality in its very first match.

Li Muhua didn't let it do anything more; for the next two turns, it just needed to follow the rhythm of the previous turns.

The advantage of having an experienced rider as the lead rider is that you can handle whatever rhythm the other rider tries to set.

If a recent graduate or a first or second-year rider were to lead the procession, these young people would most likely produce a terrifying pace.

The horses at the front of the pack are often dragged down by such novice jockeys.

A race isn't something you can win just by doing well with your horse; it also depends on whether there are troublemakers from other factions or unexpected situations.
