Chapter 727: Disappointment in love but success in gambling

The gates were opened, the horses were in the gates, and the race officially began. As the electric gates were all opened at the same time, the twelve participating horses rushed forward like wild dogs that had been freed from their limbs, driven by the jockeys.

The 800-meter race was more than halfway through in a blink of an eye.

The big screen of the stadium clearly showed the two horses in the first group, and the exaggerated and passionate voice of the commentator sounded in the clamor of thousands of spectators.

"Wow, Queen's Star is indeed a favorite. It has been leading all the way since the gates were opened, and now it has firmly maintained its position as the first horse. It is simply a kingly aura!"

"The horse behind should not be underestimated. Rafael has recovered this year and has won two championships. He is only half a horse length behind. He may catch up in the last corner..."

As he was talking, a white shadow suddenly rushed into the big screen from behind. The horse's head had reached the abdomen of the second place Rafael, and it was still moving forward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huh! The whole audience suddenly heard a unified surprise.

"Huh?!"

Even the commentator was surprised and said in surprise: "White Rose? Wow, this is a big dark horse. According to the jargon of horse racing, this is a wild horse with no origin..."

Another commentator joked: "The service of wild chickens is more professional than the dancing girls in the Chinatown Tycoon. Wild horses may not be bad."

Hong Kong has a tradition of not being picky about food and sex. Even on TV, dirty jokes are often told. Among the four great talents of the year, Huang Zhan even specialized in buying prostitutes for a long time. The commentary of the Jockey Club telling dirty jokes is also one of its characteristics.

The previous commentator laughed and scolded: "Picking, Ah Cheng, do you often go to the Regent Hotel to book a room? Wow, but this White Rose is really good! It has been on par with the second place Raphael..."

In the field, White Rose, who came up from behind, had already surpassed the second place Raphael while talking, and actually kept the same horse head with the first place Queen Star.

Entering the sprint stage, the two horses in the first group have been replaced by Queen's Star and White Rose. Rafael was not strong enough and was left behind by nearly two horse lengths. He had no hope of winning the championship.

Horse racing is popular in Hong Kong. In addition to gambling factors, it also represents the Hong Kong people's spirit of tenacious struggle and unwillingness to admit defeat.

The grassroots wild horse White Rose suddenly appeared, like a shot of cardiotonic for the audience, especially those grassroots audiences from ordinary backgrounds, who seemed to see their own shadows in White Rose.

There were twelve horses in the whole field. Although Queen's Star was the favorite, there were many upsets in horse racing. Many people even chose to buy upsets specifically. Once an upset happened, they could make more money. Therefore, the audience who really bought Queen's Star were only a minority after all.

The whole audience actually rang out cheers for White Rose.

White Rose rushed forward with her head down!

Queen's Star, who had been leading, was obviously a little panicked. While running, she turned her head to look at White Rose on the side several times.

Even people who don't know horses can see that Queen's Star is distracted.

The final sprint was less than 100 meters long, and there was no room for distraction. In the last 20 meters, White Rose finally surpassed Queen Star little by little, and crossed the finish line first with a slight advantage of half a horse's head, winning first place.

Queen Star, who was considered a favorite before the race, came in second.

"Wow, how could this happen?" Cui Bijia opened her mouth wide, looking depressed.

Losing 2,000 yuan didn't matter, but this made her lose face in front of Su Ming. She strongly recommended Queen Star to Su Ming, and just now she thought Su Ming didn't understand horses.

In a blink of an eye, Queen Star was overturned.

It was still a very embarrassing overturn. If Queen Star could continue to run at its own pace in the final stage without being affected by White Rose, it would be a sure win.

Su Ming looked indifferent and laughed: "Of course there are wins and losses in horse racing. If I could win every time, why would I do business? I would be like Li Ka Shing if I came to the racecourse every day."

Speaking of 'win', Cui Biga suddenly pointed at the ticket in Hou Longtao's hand and said excitedly: "Mr. Hou, you bought the White Rose, a one-time winner! Wow, it's a big upset!"

Hou Longtao was absent-minded from beginning to end. He didn't even know which horse was the White Rose and which was the Queen's Star. He was just watching the fun. He held up the ticket in his hand blankly: "I won? How much did I win?"

"According to the odds and probability, the White Rose is a big upset. You bought 500 yuan and can win almost 10,000 yuan!" Cui Biga said.

"What?!" Hou Longtao jumped up as if he was struck by electricity. His confused expression disappeared completely. He said excitedly, "Ten thousand?"

In the blink of an eye, he earned all the money he worked hard for a month. It would be strange if he was not excited.

After receiving the award, Hou Longtao held a small roll of Hong Kong dollars and became absent-minded again. Su Ming casually touched a brown paper bag and handed it to him, "Put the money in it. Don't show your wealth. You are holding a lot of money and waiting to be robbed."

Hou Longtao finally reacted and put the money in the bag: "Are we still gambling?"

"Of course, why not? We are here to gamble." Su Ming said as a matter of course, and then asked with a smile, "Don't you miss Song Lulu?"

"Damn it, people say that failure in love makes success in gambling. I'm already heartbroken, why do I still miss a woman!" Hou Longtao said viciously.

Cui Bijia looked at Su Ming in surprise. Hou Longtao could tell at a glance that he didn't know anything about horses. The reason he bought this big dark horse was entirely because of Su Ming's advice.

Could it be that Mr. Su was a real master who was not well-known?

Cui Bijia suddenly remembered that Su Ming also had two horses and signed up for the Longines Cup.

How could such a person really not know anything about horses?

But why did he buy the Queen's Star himself?

Seeing Cui Bijia looking at him, Su Ming smiled and said, "Pretty girl, don't look at me, continue to look at horses."

...

In the VIP box, Unikin and Annie high-fived to celebrate.

"This is just the beginning!" Unikin clenched his fist, full of confidence. He earned nearly 20,000 pounds, which was not enough to repair the car.

The big screen showed the list of winners. Due to limited space, only the ten people with the largest winnings could be shown.

The Jockey Club's gambling industry has always been open, fair and just. If VIP players like Unikin want to check, they can also check all the winners.

The big screen showed several pictures of the winners present. One of the pictures flashed by, revealing the faces of two men and one woman.

"Huh?!" Yunijin's eyes widened suddenly. The two men in the picture were the guys who smashed her car in the surveillance video that day, especially the young man who led the group. The annoying smile on his face left a deep impression on her.

"It's them." Princess Anne also saw it, frowned slightly, and looked at Yunijin carefully, fearing that she would make any impulsive moves.

Yunijin crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be brewing something. He muttered, "It seems that they also know how to bet on horses. I wonder how good their skills are?"

Seeing Yunijin like this, Anne knew that she had a trick up her sleeve. She thought speechlessly that betting on horses depends on luck for 60%, so there is no skill to speak of.
