I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

The second race on Earth Star was relatively easy.

There are few competitors.

It started strong and moved into third place, then waited for its chance.

They still set the race distance at 1,600 meters for this competition.

Two bends.

The last race has already proven that EarthStar can run left-turn courses. The question for this race is whether EarthStar can climb hills.

The final straight at Tokyo Racecourse is very long, but the bigger problem is that the straight is also a slope.

This requires racehorses to have greater power when accelerating!

The layout is quite good.

Yuuji Izumi looked at Earth Star, which was entering the turn in third position.

The development was good, and then it accelerated.

Chi Tianqian pushed forward all the way, cracking his whip a few times before reaching the slope, and then continued pushing forward.

Once they passed the uphill section, Earth's speed fully picked up.

In terms of its last move, it does indeed possess certain abilities.

However, this match was not as easy as the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes.

The first few hundred meters after entering the corner were a close contest, and it wasn't until the last fifty meters that Earth Star managed to pull away from its opponent.

Successfully crossed the finish line!

Chi Tianqian breathed a sigh of relief, then patted Earth Star on the neck.

This match didn't really showcase any different level of skill.

Judging from the results, choosing the two-year-olds-one-win group was the right choice. If they had gone for the big prize, it would have been difficult to get a good ranking.

The bounty has accumulated to over ten million more.

A mare's early career will definitely involve running 1,600 meters.

When the distances of later races increase, it might be a good thing for Earth.

Overall, however, Chi Tianqian is quite satisfied with Earth Star.

At least this time there weren't any fancy tricks.

When they returned to the rest area, Earth Star was touched twice by Kunieda.

"Xing, you performed well. This game was much better than expected."

Two-year-old horses are very unstable.

Judging from this match, Earth Star is on the rise. Although they have fewer opponents, their strength has improved to a higher level.

"Ikezoe-kun, thank you for your hard work."

"This one was relatively easy; I'm looking forward to its performance at three years old."

Chi Tianqian removed the saddle and said with a smile.

Kunie touched it twice, and he followed suit by touching it twice as well.

This touch immediately shocked Earth Star.

How come you've become addicted to touching it?

Seeing the terrified look in Earth Star's eyes, Chi Tianqian took a step back.

The post-match interview went smoothly with very few questions.

The audience's attention was still focused on other important matches.

Earth Star only won one game in two years, which is still somewhat unremarkable.

This is nowhere near as good as those racehorses that win big prizes at age two.

...

Number plate +1

Yuji Izumi successfully obtained the number plate for Earth Star during the group photo.

I'll draw a prize in the live stream when I get back.

This thing is of little use to the team members, but it can generate a lot of economic benefits for him.

"Looking at it this way, he does look much stronger than before."

Yuji Izumi saw the changes in his weight before the competition, but a closer look gave him a more direct impression.

This means that the Earth's weight gain project is progressing well.

"With this physique, although he can't gain much weight, his strength will still improve further."

"Izumi-kun can look forward to next year's competition."

Kunieda Sho said with a smile.

"Xingxing, you've had a tough time in this competition, take a good break and rest."

Yuujin Izumi looked at the Earth star that was gazing into the distance and said.

As for what they're watching, only Earth knows.

Yuji Izumi took out his phone and took two photos of Earth.

*Sizzle*

Earth Star's ears twitched twice, then it turned to look at Izumi Yuuhito.

What was that sound?

"I'll take two cute photos of you; maybe we can even make a photo album someday."

Yujin Izumi took a picture of the Earth Star Daifuku.

Horse racing really does exist.

If fans want to buy it, the official platform can always make it available.

Izumi Yuji had seen Su Daji's photo album before, and heard that it sold quite well.

White horses are always more popular.

*Sizzle*

Earth Star brushed against Izumi Yuuhito's arm.

It was in a good mood after the competition.

"Alright, alright, go and get some rest, enjoy your winter break."

Izumi Yuujin hugged Earth Star's neck.

This competition also has a prize pool of over ten million, and the three-year-old can freely choose to participate in the competition with a hefty reward.

"Then, Mr. Izumi, we'll be taking our leave now."

The caretaker checked the time.

The next match is about to start, they should go back and rest.

I'll have a medical check-up tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I should head to Hokkaido for herding and rest.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ikezoe-kun."

"It's all I should do."

Kenichi Ikezoe and Hisahito Izumi shook hands.

The two of them worked together quite well.

Izumi Hisahito still needs Ikezoe Kenichi's help.

Judging from these two matches, they cooperated very well.

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

After the match, Yuji Izumi returned to his private box.

Yutsugu Matsumoto finished his phone call in the private room.

He is in contact with Mitsuru Yahagi's stable; the paperwork is complete, and he is just waiting for the owner to sign.

"I hope I'll hear good news as soon as I walk in the door."

Yuujin Izumi, who was standing at the door, shrugged.

Earth Star won the game smoothly, and he was naturally in a good mood.

"That's right, the trainer for Liberty Island has been decided. The horse can report to the Yahagi stable when it turns two."

Matsumoto Yu put down the phone and smiled.

This time the speed is much faster than before.

The Izumi family's sphere of influence has expanded to the Kuritō Training Center.

For horse owners, the choice of trainer depends on who is the most suitable and with whom they have the best relationship.

"That's definitely a good thing, let's order some more food."

Yuji Izumi took a bottle of mineral water.

He sweated a lot on this trip, so he needs to replenish his fluids.

"Izumi-kun, how's it going over at the snow mountain?"

Yutaka Matsumoto was more concerned about the situation in the snow-capped mountains.

Many horses can run straight on muddy terrain, but he still worries about the conditions of the snow-capped mountains themselves.

This time, he will go to Kanazawa with Yujin Izumi to watch the game.

Shinsuke Izumi didn't have that much freedom.

"Takagi-sensei said it's very good, even stronger than in the first half of the year, and he'll definitely be in great form before the competition."

Yuji Izumi sat down on the sofa.

The Snow Mountain Group has been exchanging information about competition preparations for the past few days.

This time they had to leave early, as the stables at Kanazawa Racecourse had been booked in advance, and they found the local trainer at Kanazawa Racecourse.

Snow Mountain will arrive at Kanazawa Racecourse a few days in advance to prepare for the upcoming race.

This arrangement applies to all other racehorses that will participate in various JBC races.

The training centers, Kurito and Miura, are both quite a distance from the Kanazawa Racecourse, which also means that the transportation costs for the racehorses need to be taken into account.

Transportation is a major problem.

The stable's job is to get the horse to its destination as quickly as possible, but the quality of this transport depends mainly on the horse's adaptation.

Motion sickness, seasickness, and airsickness.

As for the match time, the JBC matches will continue from morning to afternoon.

This time, the audience won't need to wait until the evening to attend the match.
