i have special horse training skills

But the young trainer was not going to make Dr. Grace and the secretariat look bad.After all, I am now in other people's territory.And both the Secretariat and Dr. Grace are in a similar position to Zhou Taian.It was impossible for a young man to be hostile to them both.

After leaving the research institute, Zhou Taian took the initiative to make an appointment to meet with the secretariat in the afternoon, and soon received an OK reply.

At lunch time, Xiao Li Mao and Xin Guanghui noticed that Zhou Taian seemed very nervous: "Are you going to meet Miss Secretariat?"

The two horse girls spoke in unison.

"That's right," Zhou Tai'an didn't hide anything, "I made an appointment to meet her. After all, I can't avoid her all the time when I'm here."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Xiao Limao asked.

"No need." Zhou Tai'an waved his hand, "You and Guanghui can rest well, and I will go by myself. Anyway, I will be ridiculed at most."

"Even so, I don't feel comfortable listening to it." Brand-new Guanghui murmured, "I don't like Tai'an being treated like this."

"It doesn't matter, I have been teased by her or other seniors since I was a child, and everyone has no malice." Zhou Tai'an didn't care, "And maybe she burst into tears the first time she saw me."

"I always feel that this possibility is very small." Xiaoli Mao and Xinxin Guanghui complained so much from the bottom of their hearts.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Tai'an came to the door of the student union office of West Coast Treyson College. After knocking on the door, a long-lost familiar voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Then he pushed the door open and entered.The one who came up and came into view was the Secretariat sitting with his back facing him.

"Long time no see." After hearing the sound of footsteps, the Secretariat spoke up.

But Zhou Tai'an didn't reply, but sat on the sofa by himself, tidied up the corners of his clothes, and then responded leisurely: "I only saw the back."

"Heh, it sounds like you haven't changed at all from before." Secretariat tapped the ground lightly with his toes and turned the chair around.She squinted her eyes when she met Zhou Taian this time, "It's been a long time since this time?"

"Although it's true that I haven't seen Miss Secretariat for some time," Zhou Tai'an raised his eyebrows, "but I guess you have seen me in the media a lot during this time."

"Heh." The secretariat didn't deny this, nor did it admit it, "If it wasn't for the horse girl you were in charge of getting injured, wouldn't it mean that you would never have chosen to come to the west coast?"

"Not necessarily." Zhou Tai'an denied this to her surprise, "If the horse girl in charge of me has the quality of clay courts, she will still come to the United States to prepare to challenge for the triple crown here."

"Come to challenge the United States for the Triple Crown? This is different from France." The secretariat only felt that the children of their trainers were whimsical, "Even if there are no outstanding horse girls in this generation on the West Coast, there will always be talents in other places. Everyone There is no shortage of talent in the United States for generations, and the lack of talent in the French Classic generation last year is impossible in the United States."

"Really?" Zhou Tai'an was noncommittal about this, "But if I have the chance, I will definitely try it. It has nothing to do with the talent of that classic generation of horse girls in the United States. As long as the horse girls I am in charge of training have With her talent, I will definitely bring her to have a try."

"It's like taking a small chestnut hat to France? Will you take the horse girl in charge of training to Europe to challenge the classics in the future?" the secretary asked.

"Probably not." Zhou Tai'an shook his head, "If it wasn't for Japan's refusal to allow Xiao Li to participate in their classic match, otherwise I would not have thought of going to France."

But at this point, the young man suddenly realized something: "So it seems. You seem to know what I did in Japan."

"Is there any problem?" The Secretariat looked calm, "It shouldn't be a mistake to care about the younger generation, right?"

"Of course not," Zhou Tai'an originally wanted to continue, "It would be great if you cared so much before I left."

But he swallowed what seemed like coquetry.

After a pause, the young man continued: "I met you this time mainly out of courtesy, and partly because I want to learn about the new situation in the college in the past two years. Do you have any investment advice by the way?"

"Do you want to make money to support your family?" The Secretariat keenly captured the last point, "Or...forget it."

She shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me what you do. The academy hasn't changed much from before in the past two years. You can train horse girls as you want. At most, I have a little more say in the construction of the academy. Let Xiao Limao have a place to live here. As for the investment...I have a house in my hand, how about you buy it as an investment?"

"Oh?" Zhou Tai'an was slightly interested in this.

But after the secretariat reported the address, he looked complicated—because it was Zhou Taian's old house that he sold that year.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to me." Zhou Taian shook his head—although he noticed that Secretariat's eyes had dimmed at this time, he continued, "I will talk to them after Xiaoli recovers." Let's go back to Japan together."

"Do you think I will use my rights to let you stay?" the secretary asked.

"Then I will immediately find a reporter to expose that I have been persecuted." Zhou Tai'an said with a blank expression, "You know I can't be kept - as long as those bastards are still on the west coast."

"Let's go." After being silent for a while, the secretary waved his hand, signaling Zhou Tai'an to leave, "I look forward to the day when you win the American Classic with the horse girl you trained."

"Then I will borrow your good words." The young man got up and left.

After seeing that the door was tightly closed, the secretariat whispered again: "If you can do this, I have enough confidence to ask you to replace them."

4. The expedition in the dream

For the next period of time, Zhou Taian went back and forth between the temporary apartment and the research institute during the day, and stayed in the apartment most of the time to help Xiao Limao recover.

And at night, Zhou Tai'an in the dream world also came to the United States now.

The specific reason is also very strange-he was brought here by Yoshida Yoshiya, the owner of Shetai Ranch.

On New Year's Day, the real-world young men who were ready to go to America stayed at Ritto Training Center.At this time, Xiao Limao in Dream World was also diagnosed with suspensory ligamentitis, so Zhou Taian, who had nothing to do, wandered around the Lidong training center.

And just when Zhou Taian wandered to the football boy's stable, Chi Jiang's assistant found him: "Zhou Jun, come back with me! Someone is looking for you!"

"Aha?" Zhou Tai'an was very surprised. After all, New Year's Day is a legal holiday, and there is no competition or training. There are still several days until the next competition day. Logically speaking, no one should look for him——Young man research However, in this world, I have very few personal interactions, and I don’t go out to Gion to drink flowers and wine like other young riders at night. I only stay in my rented apartment to rest, which can be called going out to play together. The number of close friends is basically zero.

That's why Zhou Tai'an heard Chi Jiang's assistant say that he has such weird nicknames as "The Lone Wolf of the East China Sea" behind his back.

Fortunately for the young man, this title did not reach the ears of the media reporters, otherwise Zhou Taian thought that he was celebrating his victory, and when the commentator called out such a nickname, his shame would really explode.

"I hope that the person who came to me didn't do anything bad." Following behind Chi Jiang's assistant, Zhou Tai'an said to himself in his heart.

And when Zhou Tai'an followed Chi Jiang's assistant back to the door of the Setoguchi stable, he saw the so-called person who came to find him.

"Zhou Jun, I haven't seen you for a while." The owner of the Shetai Ranch, the owner of the "Dyna" title, and the representative of the Shetai Horse Racing Club, Yoshida Yoshiya said with a smile, "The rider who picked me up last time The invitation to ride must have been half a year ago, right?"

"Sorry, because I have to put Xiaoli's arrangement first, so I can only refuse many riding invitations." Zhou Taian shrugged, with a bit of embarrassment in his tone.

"It doesn't matter, although it's a pity that I can't invite Zhou Jun to be the main player of the football boy because of Xiao Limao, but our club has a horse worth looking forward to in the future, and I will still ask Zhou Jun to ride it." Yoshida Yoshiya said .

"Okay, if I don't make an appointment first, I will give priority to Mr. Yoshida's invitation to ride." Zhou Tai'an nodded repeatedly.

After finishing this topic, Yoshida Yoshiya expressed his intention of coming: "I came to Lidong today, and I came here for Mr. Zhou. I heard from Master Setoguchi that Mr. Zhou has a way of watching horses. This time I plan to go to the United States to introduce Stallion and breeding mares, I want to invite Zhou Jun and a few friends in the industry to be my staff."

"I don't know much about stallions and breeding mares," Zhou Tai'an waved his hand, wanting to refuse, "After all, I am a rider, and I only know horse racing."

Yoshida Zenya predicted Zhou Taian's reaction before coming here, so he quickly said: "I have considered this point, because this trip to the United States is a long-term investigation, so naturally Zhou Jun can't be allowed to follow us all the time. I need to rest, so is Zhou Jun interested in getting a short-term permit to go to the United States for riding exchanges? I can provide certain riding invitations for Zhou Jun to contact horse owners."

"Go to the United States for a short-term exchange as a rider?" Zhou Tai'an was scratched by Yoshida Yoshiya's proposal, "Oguri rested for the first half of the year, and I don't have any other main horses, and the training of the 'Emperor' at the Nagahama Ranch will come next." It will take half a year to reach the stage where I participate.”

It can be said that Zhou Taian really had nothing to do in Japan in the first half of the year.

After thinking about it carefully, he agreed: "Mr. Yoshida is so considerate, so it's not appropriate for me to refuse. Anyway, I don't have any game invitations for the next game day. The only place that needs me to participate is to reward Donghai Derby this year. It’s in early June, so I’ll just have to come back once then.”

"Then I'll handle the formalities, Zhou Jun just pack his luggage." Yoshida Zenya patted his chest, "I will trouble Zhou Jun when we arrive in the United States."

"I will do my best not to embarrass Mr. Yoshida, whether it's watching horses or racing." Zhou Tai'an said immediately.

So now, some time later, Zhou Taian came to the United States as a short-term study tour rider.

At this time in American horse racing, Japan was far behind—and that was true.Thanks to this stereotype, Zhou Taian did not get more riding invitations except for the competition that Yoshida Zenya asked for.

The first riding competition will be held at the Santa Anita Park Racecourse.

If Zhou Taian is really just a local rider who came all the way from Japan, then he may not know much about the track at the Santa Anita Park Racecourse. He has to observe it on the spot and ride a few races before he can deliver a normal performance.

But in reality, the young man had studied at Treyson College on the West Coast. The conditions of the Santa Anita Park Racecourse were clearer in his mind than the Ogura Racecourse and the Niigata Racecourse, which Oguri Hat had never challenged. much.

"As long as I deliver a good performance here, I should be able to get more riding invitations later? Maybe it will also attract more attention to Mr. Yoshida, and it may be good for their visit and acquisition this time." Since Yoshida Shanzai gave himself a chance to increase his knowledge, and the young man wanted to repay in his own way.

……

After the first day of riding, Zhou Taian returned to the hotel.His expression was not good, because Zhou Tai'an didn't win any of the races he participated in today's Santa Anita Park Racecourse.

"Tsk, it turns out that American riders are much better than Japanese riders." He muttered in his heart.

But after Zhou Taian stepped into the hall, Yoshida Yoshiya and his fellow experts greeted him and gave him applause.

Yoshida Zenzai was the first to speak: "It's really strong, Zhou Jun. The four races played today are all bottom popularity, but he got two No. 2 and one No. 5 results. It really puts my horse owner friends in the United States. I was taken aback. Looking at their expressions, I feel happy for Zhou Jun from the bottom of my heart, and I believe Zhou Jun will get more invitations to the competition in the future!"

"..." Zhou Taian was speechless.

5. The first overseas big reward challenge in the dream [Part [-]]

In the following days, Zhou Taian's life became quite regular.The recovery speed of Xiao Limao is also in line with the initial expectation. According to Dr. Grace, it will be completely recovered in summer, and then two or three months of rehabilitation exercises will be performed, and it will be able to revive with full blood and continue to participate in the flash series. up.

And what this means, both Xiao Limao and Zhou Tai'an are very clear - the autumn emperor's award may not be able to participate.

"Forget it, it's just a G1 game anyway, at worst this year will start with the Arima Kinen." Zhou Tai'an comforted Xiao Limao in this way.

"I'll recover first, and then I'll make a game plan depending on the specific situation." Oguri Mao is not in a hurry. After learning the lesson of Arima Kinen, she doesn't want to suffer from injuries anymore-she will participate in the competition for more than half a year. Not being able to compete is a torment for Lumao Ma Niang.

For Brand New Glory, she has learned a lot from Dr. Grace and her team during this period, and she feels that she can help Xiaolimao more after returning to China in the second half of the year.

"And I thought about how to do my English in the beginning, but I didn't expect there to be Japanese in the research institute. Thanks to their help, I started to learn it easily." When Xinxin Guanghui said this, Shu He took a deep breath, "Speaking of which, Ms. Yamato and Ms. Eri told me that their children are studying at Central Teresan College in Japan. I was really shocked. When I first met, I thought that neither of them was married. Woolen cloth."

"Looking young." Zhou Tai'an was not surprised, "This is the research institute, maybe they have done a lot of research on maintenance."

Speaking of this, the young man raised his eyebrows: "If I have a chance later, I can ask Xiaoli and Guanghui."

"It's enough for me to ask this kind of thing." Xinxin Guanghui shook his finger.

And at night, Zhou Taian took a good bath before going to bed, and lit some incense.The reason for doing so, of course, has his reasons——

"Tonight's Dream World, I want to participate in the first big reward in the United States, and I hope to achieve the best sleep conditions so as to strive for the best results."

According to Zhou Tai'an's thinking, if he can win the big reward in the dream world, he will definitely achieve very good results.

Today, Zhou Tai'an also watched the TV broadcast in the apartment of the San Fela Trophy corresponding to the big reward in reality and dream.

The name of the American horse girl who won this G2 reward is Sunday Silence/Sunday Silence.

"Unfortunately, what I want to ride is not her from another world." Zhou Taian felt very regretful after Ning Jing crossed the line first with 1 and 3/4 horses on Sunday.

Because if it’s a quiet Sunday, Zhou Tai’an doesn’t need to operate much, he can win the race by riding according to the rules, and then just wait for the reward the next morning.It's a pity that there is no such beautiful thing that fell from the world.

The riding invitation he received came from Flying Continental/Flying Continental.Daytime San Fela Stakes No.2.

"How can I turn defeat into victory in the dream world?" Zhou Tai'an thought about this question before going to bed from afternoon to night.

……

In the world of dreams, the news that Zhou Taian was going to challenge the United States for the reward had already spread back to Japan.At the end of the report, many media pointed to Wu Feng, who is also considered to be a talented rider of the new generation, intentionally or unintentionally.

But Wu Feng himself didn't complain.

"After all, I am also very envious of being rewarded for riding overseas." The young rider sighed while reading a newspaper while sitting on a chair in his garden.

"If you want to study abroad, I support it." Wu Feng heard his father's voice behind him.

"Study abroad..." He put down the newspaper and got up, "I want to go! Now I am already weaker than him, if Zhou Jun continues to grow overseas, the gap between me and him will only become wider and wider .”

Having said that, Wu Feng scratched his head: "I don't want to be a 'genius' who must rely on the difference in horse quality to win Zhou Jun."

"You should have such an idea." Wu Feng's father grinned, "Now you are really inferior to others in terms of riding skills. With me, you can get good riding resources and improve your grades. There is no ups and downs, but this cannot last forever. You have to improve yourself, and going overseas for further training is a good way. I used to know a lot of trainers in Europe and America when I went abroad for expeditions. You can also get rides after you go out entrust."

"After the derby is over, I will start." Wu Feng said seriously.

"Derby?" Although he didn't start immediately, the middle-aged man was not surprised by his son's choice - after all, he started after the Derby.

When Zhou Taian entered the dream world, he opened his eyes and found that he was riding steadily on the back of Flying Oulu.

"Good guy, I'm not even given a chance to warm up in this game." The young man muttered secretly in his heart.

Although the San Fela Stakes, as a high-ranking G2 big prize, is considered the main event today, there is no TV broadcast in Japan. At this time, the industry personnel staying in Japan basically choose to listen to the radio broadcast.

Only Yoshida Yoshiya and his party who were present came to the sidelines to cheer for Zhou Taian.

"The number one favorite in this race is Houston/Houston, the second favorite is Sunday Tranquility, and Zhou Jun's Flying Continental is the fifth favorite - it sounds nice to say this, but in fact there are only six horses participating." Yoshida Yoshiya said to his partner They introduced.

"It was quiet that Sunday. It looked really good. I have a hunch that it will be a good horse." A media reporter standing beside him said with emotion.

"It's a pity that the pedigree is not very good." Another expert who studies the pedigree of horse racing shook his head, "I have seen that although his father Halo is a champion stallion, it is based on the number, and the maternity side counts up. Only the seventh generation can see the G1 win, and the bloodline combination can only be said to be average."

"However, the performance of the game is scary." The expert continued to add, "We won two of the previous four games. The lost games were not separated by horse height. In the two won games, we won a total of 14 horses. If you want to invest in a racehorse, you can consider buying this horse, and I think it will do well in this year’s American Classic.”

"Is that so?" Yoshida Yoshiya wrote down the words, and then changed the topic, "Let's cheer for Zhou Jun first."
