i have special horse training skills

When they saw the gate number, Zhou Tai'an and Wei Dingxian complained: "If we win this time, will we have to assign Sunday Tranquility to Gate 1 in the next Bemont Stakes, and then change the lane for Easy Goer?" gone?"

"I think it's possible." After hearing Zhou Tai'an's complaints, Wei Dingxian nodded seriously, "I think that guy Claudine might do such a thing."

"Let's focus on the Presley Stakes first." The young man shook his finger, "Since I've been assigned to a foreigner this time, I'll continue to be passive. But this time I plan to save my feet in the first half of the stage, and then I will go to the next stage." Adaptive."

"It's all up to you Zhou to decide. I'm only responsible for adjusting the state of tranquility on Sunday to the best." Wei Dingham now trusts Zhou Taian's riding skills extremely-you must know that he has been in the industry for so many years, and he only won a total of There have been two Kentucky Derbys, one this year.

"Since Wei Dingham's trainer has given me the decision-making power, I will definitely live up to his expectations." Zhou Tai'an closed his eyes and let the staff lead Sunday Tranquility into the horse gate.

"Just ride according to the tactics I planned before, and the rest is to believe in the talent and quality of Tranquility on Sunday." After fully entering the gate, he opened his eyes, turned his head to the left, and coincidentally met Pat Dai out of sight.

Pat Dai, who was riding Easy Goer, had sharp eyes—in the last Kentucky Derby, he was severely suppressed by the yellow rider at the No. 7 gate at the Churchill Park Racecourse, and he was completely defeated from the beginning to the end.It was a humiliating day for the experienced jockey, and this time Pat Day came with a vengeance in mind.

"Easy Goer and I will definitely repay you twice this time!" he said.

Although the scene was noisy, Patday believed that Zhou Taian could hear this sentence.Facts proved that his idea was correct, and Zhou Taian also grinned, and replied to him: "I won't give you a chance."

This sentence also fell into Pat Dai’s ears.

"Very good." His face became gloomy, "Then let me see the riding skills from the Far East."

Zhou Taian still had a grinning expression on his face.

This scene fell in the eyes of Claudius III, which made him vaguely feel a little uneasy: "Pat Dai, is he influenced by the psychological warfare of Sunday's quiet main battle? I hope he won't be dazed later. Otherwise, I will have to change riders for the next Belmont Stakes."

21. The Prestige Stakes

With the sound of the horse gate opening, all 8 racehorses jumped out of the gate smoothly.

Zhou Taian simply chose to stay behind because the exit gate was on the outside, and then moved obliquely to the inner lane, cut into the inner lane, and allowed Sunday Tranquility to start cruising safely.

"This time, Tranquility chose to mark Easy Goer later." After noticing this, the on-site commentator said.

"Is this really marking Easy Goer?" Claudius III didn't quite believe it.He just felt that Wei Dingham was planning to play some tricks again.

"I hope Patty will pay attention, and don't be fooled again." Trainer Claudine said to himself in his heart.

And Wei Dingxian also looked puzzled now.Although he entrusted Zhou Taian with full authority to make temporary decisions, in his own perception, Zhou Taian's riding was never negative.It is not Zhou Taian's style to simply take the position backward like now.

Yoshida Yoshiya was not surprised: "I remember that Zhou Jun often adapts to the situation. The tactic of passively taking positions backwards is not unused, and has achieved good results. Now it is enough to trust Zhou Jun."

……

Pat Day is not an idiot, and of course he has a long memory after learning a lesson.After entering the first straight road, he immediately took advantage of the curved terrain to look back, and noticed that Zhou Taian honestly cut into the inner road, Pat Dai let out a long sigh of relief——

"That's good. If he doesn't engage in weird positions, my chances of winning are great! The quality of Easy Goer is definitely better than Sunday Tranquility!"

With such thoughts in mind, Pat Day decided to concentrate on himself and Easy Goer, and ignore what happened behind him.

Of course, the premise of doing this is that Easy Goer did not fall into the first group at this time, but simply followed behind the fleeing horse Northern Wolf. It is quite easy to pull out, and there is no need to worry about being double-teamed by the opponents behind him .

As Patday thought, everything was uneventful until the final straight.He was ready for Easy Goer to pull out as soon as he entered the final straight. Easy Goer also switched hands, ready to respond to Pat Day's instructions.

"Immediately speed up after entering the final straight! The door to victory is open to us!" Claudy III was very excited, "If you lose the first championship, you will lose! Winning the Presley Championship and the Belmont Championship is also a success! "

Wei Dingxian frowned, and muttered to himself: "Why doesn't Zhou let Sunday Tranquility be promoted? It's not good if he endures like this. It's easy to catch up! Could it be that he thinks that Sunday Tranquility's explosive power is enough?" Does it come first?"

Although it was a broken thought, Yoshida Zenya and his party could hear it clearly.But no one came forward to explain for Zhou Taian. After all, even they secretly echoed Wei Dingham's thoughts in their hearts. They all thought that since Zhou Taian was positioned backward, he would naturally start it earlier.

……

Zhou Tai'an didn't know what Wei Dingxian was thinking.He focused as much as possible on Easy Goer and Pat Day ahead.

"No accident, Pat Dai will choose to pull out obliquely to the right outside." Zhou Tai'an thought, "Then what I have to do now is..."

At the moment when Sunday Serenity was about to step into the final straight, the young man's cue whip landed on its ass.

On Sunday Tranquility immediately speeded up and swallowed up the gap between herself and the opponents in front of her.

Unlike the Kentucky Derby, this time Zhou Taian chose to launch a strong attack from the inside lane with Sunday Tranquility.

"Ouchi attack!" The on-site commentator screamed, "The Kentucky Derby jockey from the Far East and his partner swept from the innermost lane aggressively!"

Only 50 meters away, Zhou Taian and Sunday Tranquility chased after Easy Goer.

But this time there was a switch between the two horses - Easy Goer on the outside, Sunday Serenity on the inside.

Pat Dai, who was still leisurely at first, was frightened: "What the hell! Is the explosive power of Sunday Tranquility so terrifying? It feels like I have caught up in an instant!"

In order for Easy Goer to continue to accelerate, Pat Day decided to whip.Because Sunday Tranquility was on the inside, it was originally said that Pat Day had to hit the left hand whip to make Easy Goer lean out to avoid a collision with Sunday Tranquility.

But now Patdai couldn't care too much, he simply whipped his right hand for convenience. Easy Goer also obediently took a step towards the inside.

Zhou Taian clearly saw Pat Dai's actions.His temper also came up.

"Looking for confrontation, right?! I'll satisfy you!" Zhou Tai'an handed over the whip to his left hand, pushed the horse vigorously with his right hand, and swung the whip with his left hand.Sunday Tranquility also took a step diagonally to the right.

The next moment, the knees of Zhou Taian and Pat Dai collided, and the stinging pain caused by the high-speed collision went straight to the bone marrow, causing Zhou Taian and Pat Dai to grin their teeth for an instant.But neither of the two riders was going to give way, and each of them gave another whip without changing hands.

Regardless of whether it is Easy Goer or Sunday Tranquility, although they are horses, they can also realize that if they continue to move diagonally, they will collide with their opponents, so neither of the two horses continued to move diagonally.

This also means that the two riders on the saddle are still stuck together at this time.Zhou Tai'an and Pat Dai looked at each other, refusing to give in.

"Hmph!" The two could hear each other's cold snort.

"I will never lose to you here!" Zhou Taian turned his head and gave Pat Dai a hard look.

Pat Day is not to be outdone: "This victory will not be taken away by you again! Asians!"

Not only were the two riders unconvinced, but their hands were also quite rough-the strength of pushing the horse seemed to be trying their best.

At the relational table, whether it was Claudius III, Orton Phipps, or Wei Dingham and Yoshida Yoshiya, all held their breath.

"Sunday Tranquility and Easy Goer put aside all their opponents! Entered heads-up mode!" The commentator shouted, "Did the Kentucky Derby win twice? Or did the favorite Easy Goer get his wish and get revenge?!"

"Easy Goer! Quiet Sunday! Easy Goer! Quiet Sunday!" The live commentary kept repeating the names of the two racehorses.

"I want to win!" Zhou Tai'an wished to overdraw his physical strength while swinging the windmill whip.

"I can't lose anymore!" Pat Dai also gritted his teeth and pushed the horse with all his strength.

Under the shouts of the narrator and the bathing of the eyes of all the audience, both sides crossed the finish line almost at the same time.

Although it is "nearly at the same time", it is only "nearly".If you watch the images on the big screen, you can still easily recognize that the first person to cross the finish line is the dark figure that shocked everyone in the Kentucky Derby.

"Sunday is quiet, the second crown is achieved!"

22. Double planning

After winning the Prestige Trophy, the real world and the dream world faced the same problem in front of the Sunday Tranquility camp——

"How to eliminate the fatigue caused by the Kentucky Derby and the Presley Stakes, so that Sunday Tranquility can participate in the Belmont Stakes in the best condition."

This question lingered in the minds of the secretariat in the real world and Weidingham in the dream world at the same time.

As for Zhou Tai'an, who was more focused on the treatment of Xiao Limao, as long as the secretariat didn't speak about Sunday's quiet matter, he had no reason to get involved.

After all, they have their own trainers.And the reward entrusted by the secretariat was something that Zhou Taian had to take the initiative to use, so the young man didn't need to go to the secretariat when he didn't need it.

But Dr. Grace made a move.After both the Secretariat and Mrs. Weidingham expressed their concerns, she came up with a plan-the high-speed recovery training plan that was tested on Xiaoli hat last year.

"Although it may temporarily treat the symptoms but not the root cause, which will bring higher risk of injury, but now it seems that my plan is the only one that can meet the needs of the president of the Secretariat and Mrs. Weidingham." Dr. Grace said.

"This is the training plan that made Xiaoli Mao suffer from suspensory ligamentitis?" The secretary glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "It's too..."

Mrs. Wei Dingham frowned: "Xiao Limao should be regarded as an accident? But we must seek the opinion of Sunday Tranquility.",

After learning of Dr. Grace's proposal, Sunday Tranquility gave her own answer without thinking: "I will use it, as long as it allows me to compete in the Belmont Stakes in the best condition, even if I get injured later." does not matter."

"You don't necessarily have the luck of Xiao Limao." The secretary reminded, "She is lucky to have suspensory ligaments, and the symptoms are not serious enough to be reimbursed for walking ability. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to run on the field in the future Yes. You think about whether it's worth it."

"It's worth it." However, without thinking about it on Sunday, Tranquility said, "How could it not be worth it? To win the US Triple Crown against an opponent of Easy Goer's level, even if I can no longer run, what is not worth it?" What about it? Everyone in the future will remember that I won the American Triple Crown by defeating the opponent who is said to be your next."

"You don't need to think about my thoughts, you just need to be responsible for yourself." The secretary bit his lip, "And you won the Triple Crown, if you can't enter the Dream Cup series because of the loss of walking ability, want to It's also difficult to stay in the academy."

"It doesn't matter, I have this awareness." Sunday Tranquility turned his head, stared at his trainer, and said quietly, "Without the support of the trainer, Sunday Tranquility would not be the current U.S. second champion. Only on the outside like a lonely A nameless horse girl who wanders like a ghost."

"The trainer once told me when he was drunk that his biggest dream was to train a Triple Crown." Qinglu Maomao showed a bright smile—this smile was compared to her winning the Kentucky Derby and the must-have. The Belgian Championship will explode every now and then, "Now the door of my dream is in front of me, and I am willing to pay any price."

Having said that, Sunday Tranquility turned around and looked at Dr. Grace: "I'm sorry."

Dr. Grace, who felt Sunday's serene determination, said slowly, "Okay, I will try my best to apply the version improved by me and Zhou Tai'an."

As for the dream world, Zhou Tai'an also expressed his proposal to Wei Dingham - exactly the same as Dr. Grace in the real world.

But for Wei Dingham of Dream World, this kind of training method is something he has never heard of.

"Is it really possible?" He was very skeptical.

"According to the normal training mode now, Tranquility on Sunday will definitely not be able to fully recover. When it comes to the Belmont Championship, it will really only be able to fully compete with endurance, and there is no room for manipulation." Zhou Tai'an is very helpless, "To be honest, although Won Easy Goer twice, but you and I know its strengths lie there."

"You're right." Wei Dingham was silent for a while, "Unless there is no conspiracy, there is basically no chance for the Bemont Stakes Sunday Tranquility."

"But you also said that this training method may lead to excessive fatigue after the game, right?" Wei Dingham pursed his lips, "I originally thought that after the Belmont Championship, I would let Sunday Tranquility challenge The 'Midsummer Derby' Zhuo Huasi championship, but since you said so, after Sunday Tranquility finished the journey of the Triple Crown, the second move is scheduled for the Super Derby in Louisiana in September."

"You know what this means." Wei Dingham's voice was a little muffled, "The next game will be Zhou's last match with Sunday Tranquility."

It is impossible for Zhou Taian to stay in the United States until September-this is something the young man himself knows very well.After all, Tsutomu Setoguchi has been reporting to Zhou Tai'an the progress of Oguri Hat's recovery.

If Zhou Taian was worried that he would be replaced by Xiao Limao before, he no longer needs to worry about it after winning the second U.S. championship with Sunday Tranquility.The horse owners of Setoguchi Tsutomu and Oguri Hat will never change him again.Otherwise, no one can resist the public opinion of the media and horse fans.

However, a week before the start of the Belmont Championship, Zhou Taian took a leave of absence and chose to go back to Japan.

"It's only one week away from the Belmont Stakes, so it's more important to hurry up and train in peace on Sunday?" Both Wei Dingham and Yoshida Yoshiya persuaded him not to ask for leave.

But Zhou Taian made up his mind to go: "I have something that I must go back to Japan to do."

"What's the matter?" Yoshida Zenya asked.

"On the 5th, that is, the day after tomorrow is the day of this year's East China Sea Derby. I promised to give my teacher a victory in the East China Sea Derby. Last year, the teacher's stable did not have a horse to participate in the East China Sea Derby, but this year there will be." Zhou Tai'an seriously He said to Zenya Yoshida and Wei Dingxian, "This is a promise I made to my teacher a long time ago, so I must do it."

After listening to the translation, Wei Dingham sighed deeply: "Well, Zhou, your reason convinced me. As a rider, there should be no hindrance to repaying the master who brought me out. Tranquility on Sunday I will adjust my state well, and you will come back as soon as possible."

"That's natural." Zhou Tai'an gave a thumbs up, "Whether it's the Donghai Derby or the Belmont Championship, I will win it!"

23. Unexpected Donghae Derby

On June 6, Zhou Taian quietly returned to Japan alone.No one knew Zhou Taian's specific flight because he asked the journalists who were traveling with him to keep it secret.

And in order to get back to Kasamatsu as soon as possible, the young man chose to change flight routes twice, and finally landed at Nagoya Airport.

After landing, Zhou Taian went straight to his apartment, relying on the particularity of the dream world to overcome the jet lag in one day here.Immediately after that, I rushed to the Kasamatsu Training Center the next day.

The recent trainer Masahiro Sagimi always seems absent-minded, and the staff in the stables also know the reason-the "student" of Changyong Saragami is overseas, and the stable's most important horse this year, Swift Say Die, is scheduled to compete in the Donghai Derby .At the beginning, the famous "student" promised to give his mentor the winner of the East China Sea Derby, so Masahiro Lujian was reluctant to confirm the rider of Swift Say Die in the East China Sea Derby, even if " students" never replied.

Today's Lujian Changyong continued to sit at the door of the stable, in a daze.

"I don't know why Mr. Zhou hasn't responded to the news these two days. Is it because he is busy preparing for the Belmont Championship?" He muttered in his heart.

As soon as the words were finished, Master Lujian Changyong's "spirited and dreamy" voice sounded—"Teacher! I'm back!"

Lujian Changyong raised his head, and the face he saw in the newspaper a few days ago appeared in front of his eyes.

"Zhou Jun?! You came back from the United States!?" He was very surprised, "Is it all right for the Belmont Championship?!"

"Let's leave it to Wei Dingham's trainer to continue training for the time being. I will rush back to prepare for the East China Sea Derby. I will return to the United States after this match." Zhou Tai'an explained.

"Wouldn't this be too busy?" Lujian Changyong's trainer was a little nervous, "Will it affect the United States?"

"No matter what, I promised to bring the East China Sea Derby to the teacher, so it doesn't matter, the focus is on the East China Sea Derby now." Zhou Tai'an grinned, "So which horse should I ride? ? Master Lu Jian, take me to have a look."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, come with me." Lu Jian Changyong who got up all of a sudden got up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and then took the initiative to lead Zhou Tai'an into the stable to see his partner who was about to greet him.

The news of Zhou Taian's return to Lisong spread throughout the East China Sea an hour later.

Lu Jianchang Yong blocked the reporters' interview requests for him.But there is no way to stop the visits of colleagues in the training center.However, Zhou Tai'an is not the kind of personality who rejects people thousands of miles away, and he can still have a good conversation with his colleagues.

But some things were beyond the expectations of Zhou Tai'an and Lu Jian Changyong.

On the second day, the day before the East China Sea Derby, all 12 horses except Swift Say Die announced their withdrawal from the race.

"Why?" Zhou Tai'an couldn't understand, "Why did they all retire?!"
