I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Earth Star and Snow Mountain returned to the Meipu Training Center one after the other.

Snow Mountain first went to Tianrong Ranch, and then returned to Meipu Training Center.

Earth Star, on the other hand, returned directly to the Mipo Training Center from the outer prison.

The training intensity at the snow mountain was significantly higher, and from the end of June to mid-September, it truly had a good rest this time.

This is the advantage of being a famous horse, especially a dirt horse, which can run two races in China in the second half of the year.

In the past, Xue Shan would run two races in the best-of-seven group, then rest for about a month while herding, before sprinting for the best-of-seven group race again.

The staff at Takagi Horse Stable were very happy about the return of the snow mountain.

This is their stable's star stable.

Takagi Stables' main achievement is on muddy ground; their turf horses generally perform poorly.

At this point, the stables' income depended entirely on the snow mountain's performance.

Winning a Class A championship in the first half of the year and two more in the second half is perfectly normal.

"You're in much better shape than when I last visited you, and most importantly, you've lost weight."

Takagi looked at the snow mountain resting in the stable and said with a satisfied expression.

Xue Shan ate quite a lot at the Beihai Ranch.

Takagi Noboru made a special trip to Tianrong Ranch to see the snow mountain that was resuming training; it was as fat as a ball.

Snow Mountain is a large horse by itself, and it can eat even more after resting.

This also shows that the pasture at Beihai Ranch is still good for horses.

"Xueshan's current weight is 540 kilograms. If he continues training, he can maintain a good level before participating in the competition."

The assistant glanced at the records on the form.

The snow mountain's excessive weight will definitely affect its performance in the competition.

However, considering the situation in the next competition, Xueshan will gain some weight compared to the last competition.

"We hope to get the snow mountain into its best condition before the competition."

Takagi ascended the road.

Because there are no preliminary rounds, straight-line races often have higher requirements.

Preliminary races can actually help horses maintain a steady improvement in their condition.

This is one of the reasons why preliminary battles exist.

Another option is to give a chance to some racehorses that have great potential but don't have enough prize money.

The important preliminary battle is the two spots for the Level 1 race.

There's only one preliminary match left in the table.

"This task is very challenging, but I believe we can accomplish our pre-competition plan."

The assistant was very confident.

But what I'm most confident about is that Snow Mountain, this racehorse, has enough strength.

"Have you communicated with Yokoyama-kun yet?"

"We've communicated with him, and Yokoyama-kun said he'll arrange the time."

This means that Takeshi Yokoyama will definitely come and train Setsuzan.

In addition to training in the snow-capped mountains, he was also responsible for training with Lotto Heart.

Lottomint, having finished second in the derby, was relieved of the pressure of participating in the Chrysanthemum Award.

Lotto's focus shifted directly to the Autumn Royal Prize and Japan Cup in the second half of the year.

A three-year-old's lottery-winning instinct is unmatched in the second half of the year.

"Then there's no problem. Just prepare the information in advance. There should still be some old rivals."

Takagi Noboru wanted to figure out his opponent's strength.

Winning the Imperial Prize doesn't guarantee a smooth victory in Kanazawa; thorough pre-match preparations are essential.

While listening to their conversation, Xue Shan quickly drank some water.

Replenish fluids!

Back at work again, Xue Shan was in a good mood.

The main reason is that it had rested for a long enough time and cooperated well with the stable's training after returning.

The plan is proceeding normally.

This is good news for Takagi's stables.

The snow-capped mountains did not slack off.

As for whether the competition will revert to its previous classroom atmosphere once it begins, no one knows.

"Everyone needs to stay focused and do their job well. Kanazawa's match is very important."

Takagi held a brief meeting with the team members in charge of the snow mountain.

Once everything was settled regarding the snow mountain, he then took charge of training the other racehorses.

The outside world is eagerly anticipating how the new star of the Golden Family, the new king of the mud, will perform in the second half of the year.

...

The situation is similar for Earth, which also returned to Earth.

Kunieda Stables still asked Kenichi Ikezoe to ride the horse. Since Izumi, the horse owner, didn't say he wanted to change riders, we'll just let Kenichi Ikezoe continue to ride.

Compared to the last competition, Earth Star has clearly gained weight for this comeback.

"Izumi-kun is very interested in Earth."

Kunieda patted Earth's head.

A two-year-old horse won't gain weight quickly; it's good if it shows some improvement since the last race.

"Izumi-kun really likes stars, perhaps because stars need more attention."

Kunieda Sho shared his guess.

Other racehorses don't get as excited before and after the race as Earth Star, which affects their performance during the race.

With these factors in place, winning the game will be very difficult.

"This is where horse racing needs us."

"We need to win this game smoothly, otherwise the pressure next year will be too great."

Kunieda really likes Earth.

It's difficult to change someone's personality; what they need to do is come up with other solutions.

Earth definitely has potential!

If two years old isn't enough, then let's see how much they grow after three years old.

"The pressure of only winning one group is not too great, and I believe Xingxing can win smoothly."

Kunieda Xiang said.

This is already the most conservative approach; normal horse racing rarely chooses to compete in the two-year-old, one-win category.

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

October, Tokyo Racecourse.

Chi Tianqian was specially summoned over, as he was already somewhat familiar with Earth.

The pre-race tracking data this time was better than that of the new Marseille.

However, Kenichi Ikezoe did not sense any spiritual growth in Earth Star at all.

*Sizzle*

*Sizzle*

The second match on Earth Star was still in a rather exciting state.

Compared to the first game, it's no longer like a curious child; it has made some progress.

After stopping in the display circle, it rubbed against its keeper.

This time the process is different from the last one; it was transported from the Miura Training Center to the Tokyo Racecourse.

Kunieda Stable wanted to see how Earth Star's transport capabilities were. Some racehorses have very weak transport capabilities; as long as they travel a long distance, their condition drops drastically.

Fortunately, Earth did not experience this problem.

Only through experience can you be sure there are no problems in this area; many things need to be tested to find out.

There were only ten racehorses in this race.

After a two-year-old horse won a race, other horse owners would try to win the championship with a hefty reward.

Yujin Izumi just wanted things to be more stable.

He was also present to watch the match.

He always makes sure to be there to support Earth Star's matches whenever he has the time.

Although the races are not important, Yuujin Izumi really enjoys the feeling of watching the racehorses he bought grow little by little.

Earth itself wasn't expensive to buy, and it had many problems.

But Earth will always have a day when it shocks everyone.

As a horse owner, Izumi Yujin naturally wanted to record the entire process.

Go, Star!

Hopefully, it can secure its second victory.
