Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 148
After a few questions, Ding Xu finally figured out that there is a limit on the number of active horses in the Jockey Club every year. There are no more than 1200 active horses in total. The number of places allowed to accept new horses depends on how many horses are retired this year.

The limited number of places requires a lottery to determine which private horse owners can train their horses in the Jockey Club, so it is not possible to become a horse owner of the Jockey Club with money.

"Aaron Kwok, Julian Cheung, Alan Tam, Eric Tsang, Sammo Hung..." Brother Lao lit another cigarette and said, "Many big stars are horse owners, with good and bad bloodlines. The cheapest is hundreds of thousands, and the most expensive is more than 2000 million .”

"I remember the night of the 14 Dubai Horse Racing World Cup. Sammo Hung's racing horse, Chong Shan Bao, won the Ajos Championship in the International Grade [-] Race in Dubai. It's good enough!"

To say that he has seen racecourses in Beijing, Ding Xu asked curiously: "How much does a horse that can usually compete cost?"

"Mostly 500 million. The horse racing club is more profitable to raise horses. It is said that the annual training is at least 50. Do you calculate how much you can earn from starting racing at the age of three to retiring at the age of seven or eight?"

Hearing this, I finally understand why so many wealthy people on Hong Kong Island want to become horse owners. To put it bluntly, it is still a status symbol.

If you are lucky and your horse achieves good results in the competition, it will be a great honor to brag!
Chatting and waiting, the game will start immediately.Two cameras focused on the field, and saw that the horse race came out first.Before each game, all the horses will go to the small exhibition hall on the left for two laps to accept the final inspection by the gamblers.

This is also the last opportunity to seize the opportunity to observe the state of the horses and jockeys. Through the close-up observation with the camera, I have to say that professional horse racing is indeed extraordinary. They are fat and strong, with a strong body and full of muscular streamlines.

"Is it strong enough?" Brother Lao stared at the two horses he was looking for with piercing eyes, and he did not forget to mutter: "The horses should be as beautiful and beautiful as Miss Hong Kong, with brand new horseshoes on them. The mane of the head is newly cut, and the ponytail is also neatly trimmed, and it sways with the wind when running, so it looks good when running."

Ding Xu smiled and nodded, took the binoculars that Gou Tuanzi got from somewhere, and pretended to look down.

Next came the jockeys. There were Chinese and foreigners. It seemed that there were more foreigners?

No matter which country you come from, you will embroider your name on your jodhpurs. There are no handsome guys, and they are all skinny. It really looks like a monkey riding a horse.

"Look, look, look!"

"Entered the gate!"

Brother Lao instantly hit the mark and saw the white leading horse leading the racehorse to the starting point pulled by the tractor and shutting them all into the gate.Ding Xu also saw an episode. In the third game, No. [-] didn’t know why the horse refused to enter the gate.

As a result, a total of nine staff pushed in abruptly!

"Boss, let's buy a few bets for fun too?" Gou Tuanzi reminded by his side: "Let my friends also have a sense of substitution."

Ding Xu's eyes lit up and he asked Brother Lao, "What's the game?"

"Jockey king, single win, position, double win, position Q, Zaibao, triplet, single T, quadruple, pass, mixed pass, double T, triple T, six-ring lottery..."

"Play whatever you want!"

Brother Lao pointed at the horse scripture and said proudly: "Would you like me to recommend a few to you?"

Seeing the other party's mouth full of big yellow teeth, he didn't talk nonsense, so he threw out [-] Hong Kong dollars for fun!
It looks lively, but in fact there are twelve horses running in each horse race.There are various competitions in one night on this strange length of 1417 meters, such as 800 meters, 1200 meters, 1600 meters and so on.

The end position remains the same, and the starting point is pulled around by a big tractor?
Soon the game started, twelve gates opened at the same time, just when Ding Xu thought the audience was a sensation, he found that the people beside him were very quiet?

Brother Lao next to him looked excited, but he didn't say a word. When the horse was about to run to the finish line, he suddenly shouted: "No. [-], No. [-], No. [-]!"

Immediately, the whole place seemed to explode. Everyone stood up suddenly, howling like ghosts, and shouting loudly for the numbers they had bet on!
Just when everyone was about to do as the Romans do and shout a few words, suddenly the deafening shouts suddenly stopped the moment the horse crossed the finish line!

"You're all crazy!" Sakura was the first to react from the ups and downs, and said with a puzzled face: "What's wrong with being surprised?"

"I saw a rider fall off his horse just now?" Si Nan pointed to a jockey who was limping and leading his horse towards the finish line and said, "It's very pitiful."

"It's time!" Before Ding Xu could speak, Brother Lao began to speak in Cantonese with a face full of resentment, fully demonstrating what it means to be...

The deep responsibility of love!

"Guys, this is the McDonald's of the racetrack."

"I heard that this place is different. Brother Xu will take you to see it."

"What's so special about it?"

Walking into McDonald's, he showed the menu to the camera and said, "Did you see? The Big Mac set here is actually called the Invincible Winning Meal?"

"Double Cheeseburger is called Lucky Double Treasure Meal, and Chicken McNuggets is Six Rings Chinese Food?"

"Just ask if you are afraid?"

Looking along the way, it is worthy of the so-called horse racing culture. Starting from the long queue to withdraw money in front of the ATM machine at the entrance of the racecourse, there are various souvenirs everywhere, even McDonald's is different.

"Do you know why Hong Kong people like to come to racecourses?"

"Love to gamble is one thing. After all, if you struggle from a small fishing village to become one of the four Asian tigers, you can't do it without hard work, right?"

"But Brother Xu discovered another reason when he was there, and that was freedom."

Ding Xu leaned on the highest railing, overlooking the entire racecourse, and talked eloquently: "There are no-smoking signs posted everywhere in the streets and alleys here, and even the garbage cans are specially marked with a fine of HK$[-] for littering."

"Look at the racecourse again. As long as you enter this gate and want to smoke, drink, and drink, the price is very cheap. Buy a horse for two yuan and enjoy a blood boil. Do you think it's worth it?"

"If you win the model in the clubhouse, even if you lose, Brother Xuelao curses and tore up the betting ticket, throws it all over the world, and asks you if you're hi?"

"That's why Brother Xu has always felt that blocking is worse than sparse!"

"It is recommended that all first-tier cities have places where they can release stress. Of course, it must be legal and reasonable. After all, life is getting more and more tiring, and people are not machines. Who can run around the clock?"

"Occasionally indulge in indulgence, spend a little money to vent negative emotions, or even buy a hope that you know is illusory..."

"Isn't it a good thing without affecting others?"

"Does it count as a contribution to building a harmonious society?"

I don’t know why I suddenly felt it. I have fully felt the fast pace of life on Hong Kong Island these days, especially after seeing the so-called subdivided flats. I never thought that two or three square meters is a place for a person to settle down?
Compared with the so-called Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the seemingly blooming flowers here are even more appalling!
