I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Chapter 8 The Descendants of the Master

*Sizzle*

After the third bend, the competition between the horses became fierce.

Some riders chose to speed up at this point.

"come on--!"

"Keep it up, little guy!"

"Hold on, don't let the horses behind catch up."

"Charge! Speed up! Don't give up!"

The audience members present also began to cheer in their own ways.

Although there was a grassy track separating the dirt track from the stands, it did not affect the transmission of sound, especially the shouts of thousands of people.

Although the scene wasn't as spectacular as a high-stakes competition or a top-tier tournament, the atmosphere was still fantastic.

This is also the difference between watching the game live and watching it on a screen.

People at the scene are easily caught up in the atmosphere and get excited.

Roar! ...

This is the pursuit of victory and speed!

Many viewers enjoy discovering promising racehorses in these competitions.

"The last bend is over, and horse number ten, Du Manlai, has found a great position to advance!"

"The track conditions did not affect the performance of racehorse number ten!"

The commentators sped up their speech during the match.

The final battle for first place is about to begin.

"Horse number seven at the front is still persevering!"

"As the most popular animal in this match, can it live up to everyone's expectations!?"

The commentator quickly observed the changes on the racetrack.

Based on this development, the outcome of this match is already decided.

"Horse number nine was exceptionally tenacious at this point, staying close to horse number ten from the very beginning of the race."

Horse number nine is Izumi Yujin's horse.

The Tsumura riders originally thought they would slow down after the bend.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

Calicante displayed a strong competitive spirit, determined not to be left behind by the horses in front.

*Sizzle*

Its eyes were full of determination!

That's really strange.

The Tsumura rider increased the force of the forward push and continued to whip the whip.

There's still hope!

This was a pleasant surprise for him.

Before the race, he felt that Calicante was not suitable for running the lead.

Du Manlai's horse, number ten, was far ahead of the pack.

There was no obstruction at all after entering the bend.

The horse at the very front managed to run at the fastest speed in the race.

As each racehorse crossed the finish line, the results of the race were displayed on the big screen.

Fifth place!

This is good news for horse owners, trainers, and riders.

This means they earned income from this match.

The horse owner receives 80% of the prize money, while the remaining 20% is distributed among the stables and riders.

Although the amount is not large, only 500,000, no one would complain about having too much money.

VIP room.

"Matsumoto-kun, what do you mean?"

"Izumi Yuuhito said with a smile."

The fifth-place horse did its best, but it was still seven horse lengths ahead of the first-place horse.

Kalicant has no future in the game.

"I never expected that this early tactic would actually work; we were almost overtaken by the number 12 horse behind us."

"I lost this time."

Yu Matsumoto gave a wry smile.

Working backwards from the result is also fine.

The tactics for this match should follow Yujin Izumi's ideas.

He hadn't expected that Izumi Yujin actually knew about horse racing.

"It was just a little joke, don't worry about it."

Yuji Izumi waved his hand.

A few minutes later, the trainer called.

Trainer Kato:

"Congratulations, Izumi horse owner, you got fifth place this time."

"It performed quite well on the field, and we will continue to let it run the first tactics."

Yujin Izumi: "His performance in this race was indeed much better, so from now on, trainer Kato will continue to be in charge."

They were both just being polite.

In terms of tactical choices, Yuujin Izumi made the right choice, but his actual strength was just so-so.

He initially thought Izumi Yujin was a novice horse owner who was just messing around, but he didn't expect that he actually knew a bit about horse racing.

There have been rumors circulating in the industry that Yujin Izumi bought two racehorses from two ranches in Shetai.

Many people think this shows a lack of understanding of horse racing and a willingness to be taken advantage of.

People outside the racing circle tend to listen to the trainers' advice before making a purchase.

Looking back now, Izumi Yujin wasn't as bad as he seemed.

"Mr. Izumi, the horse is a bit tired after this race, so perhaps..."

Trainer Kato glanced at Calicant in front of him and tentatively asked.

Calicante has been in his stables for two months.

"Take a break, running on muddy terrain isn't easy."

Yuji Izumi naturally understood the meaning of those words.

Even if I wasn't tired, I was exhausted.

A racehorse without the necessary strength cannot occupy a stable position indefinitely.

This match also helped Calicante earn money to support himself in the future.

Trainer Kato: "Okay, we'll arrange the next time you go to the stable."

Izumi Hisahito: "Thank you for your hard work, Kato-shi."

Yuji Izumi hung up the phone.

This is a routine procedure; after the race, the trainer will communicate with the owner to report on the race's progress.

If there's anything else to discuss, it's the arrangement of the upcoming competitions and the selection of riders.

None of these apply to Calicante.

...

The fifth match.

Yuji Izumi saw that familiar face.

A genuine Golden Family racehorse!

This year, Xueshan is exactly three years old, and this race is the last one this morning, the Zhongshan 2200-meter race.

How could a world-class horse, known for its dirt racing prowess, be forced to run on turf?

Yuji Izumi didn't know where to begin complaining.

Perhaps this is Japan's dedication to grass races; if they can run on grass, they will never run on dirt.

Golden Master is indeed a turf triple crown horse.

But that doesn't mean its offspring are all grazing horses; the Golden Family's strength is not to be underestimated.

In the future, when the snow mountain is five years and six months old, it will start running on the mud and then soar into the sky.

It successfully inherited the powerful legacy of the Golden Family!

Even in mud races, they can sprint from the back in one go!

"Matsumoto-kun, what do you think of horse number six?"

Izumi Yuujin tapped the table twice and asked.

He was planning to buy Snow Mountain next year, as Snow Mountain's performance was quite ordinary before the age of five.

Buying the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes and Earth Stars had almost exhausted Izumi Yujin's money, and he really didn't have any more money to buy another racehorse.

"Hmm... I think it's just so-so. The last one is quite strong, but this racehorse only has the potential to win one more game."

Matsumoto Yu didn't quite understand what Izumi Yujin meant.

Is he eyeing this racehorse?

This performance is really not good.

Yuji Izumi is truly an incomprehensible horse owner.

"Please keep an eye on this for me. I think this racehorse has a bright future."

Yuujin Izumi watched the snow-capped mountain returning to the rest area.

The snow-capped mountain itself is also a slow-developing racehorse.

Its strength at the age of three was indeed average.

"Izumi-kun, you don't still like the Golden Family's horse races, do you?"

Yu Matsumoto scratched his head awkwardly.

He genuinely couldn't understand Izumi Yuujin's thoughts.
