Chapter 162: Horse Racing


This flat speed race belongs to the competition format of most commercial horse racing today, and only focuses on running fast.

Moreover, a complete system of commercial betting has been developed around which horse runs faster.

In the United States, the horse racing industry can actually be renamed the horse racing betting industry.

In later generations, there were more than 13,000 horse racing events in the United States each year.

And this number is only the number calculated from regular events, such as the Kentucky Derby.

Among the wealthy horse owners in the United States, many private events are not open to the public.

The scale of commercial gambling has also been reduced to a wealth game among the rich.

Of course, the amount will be extremely huge.

The chips used in each game are wealth that ordinary people can only obtain after decades of hard work.

However, for many wealthy people, this kind of private competition is the most enjoyable.

Watching your own horse leave other horses far away at lightning speed will give you an indescribable sense of success.

For these rich people, bullying ordinary people is really not a skill.

Being able to bully rich people of the same level is one of the joys of life.

There have been countless competitions between these large farmers on weekdays.

They already knew each other's horses very well, down to the hair of each horse, so naturally they had no interest in competing anymore.

Today it is rare to find a person at the same level as them who has tamed a good horse that seems to have unlimited potential.

Therefore, the interest of these people was immediately piqued.

The distance of flat track speed racing is generally between 400 meters and 2,400 meters.

Also, a certain amount of weight is given based on the age of the jockey and the horse. to achieve a relatively fair effect.

Alton Racecourse has a comprehensive track and facilities.

Moreover, each farmer has his own jockey, which is very convenient for participating in regular events or competing privately.

There is no way to raise a jockey if you are alone for the rest of your life.

Therefore, James suggested that for the rest of his life, he hire a jockey of decent quality from Tom's horse farm.

After all, weight and height for the rest of your life.

Totally unbecoming of a jockey.

If you want to be a professional jockey, in addition to understanding the temperament of the horse, you must learn a series of professional knowledge such as cleaning the horse, feeding the horse, cleaning the stable, equipping the horse, as well as various competition rules and competition skills.

You also need to strictly control your body.

Your height should not be too high and should be kept below 1.65 meters.

The body should not be too fat and should be kept at about 48 kilograms.

Also, exercise regularly to stay lean and strong.

Most of the daily diet can only choose cereals.

Vegetables and fruits.

It's actually about the same as what horses eat.

Fatty foods such as fatty meats are absolutely not allowed.

Moreover, alcohol, coffee, and tea, which are irritating to the body, are absolutely not allowed to be consumed.

In addition, in order to understand the horse without disrupting the horse's biological clock, jockeys also need to adapt to the horse's daily routine.

They need to get up at four o'clock in the morning to train the horse and go to bed on time at nine o'clock in the evening to ensure energy.

And looking back on the rest of my life.

He is more than 1.7 meters tall and weighs 150 kilograms.

If he were to ride on a horse, an ordinary thoroughbred horse would be difficult enough to adapt to.

However, Yu Sheng simply rejected James' proposal.

How could he let others ride the horse he had tamed?

Besides, even if he agreed, Ryan probably wouldn't agree either.

I have to break two more bones. so.

We can only allow other racehorses to increase their weight according to age and male and female calculations.

Several farmers were stunned and said something.

Although they love horse racing, they don't go to the point of doing it themselves.

As the saying goes, the son of a rich man cannot sit in court, and the risks of horse racing are extremely high.

If one of them is not good, it is not impossible for him to fall off his horse and die.

However, looking at each other's weight of more than 200 kilograms and their beer bellies of different sizes, they can't help but feel a little envious for the rest of their lives.

The track of Alton Racecourse is 1,800 meters long.

After Yu Sheng discussed with several farmers, this first race will be a lap of 1,800 meters.

As for money, these rich people don't care much.

Each of them only deposited three to five thousand US dollars.

After all, they are there to play, not to gamble.

The large farmers present, plus Yu Sheng, totaled five people.

Everyone puts out a horse to compete.

James whispered to Yu Sheng: "Mr.

Yu, although I know that in private competitions between rich people, sometimes they don't care about winning or losing.

However, if you can beat these few people, the effect will be much better.

In addition, these few people sent to the scene , although they are not all the best horses under his control, they are all British thoroughbred horses.

Moreover, they have all achieved certain rankings in various events.

Ryan did not.

Too many advantages” Yu Sheng nodded, this James is still very useful.

Ryan snorted indifferently.

Yu Sheng casually slapped Ryan on the head twice and said: "Run well today.

If you don't win, be careful and get beaten.

If you win, you will get carrots to eat."

Horses like carrots far more than rabbits.

Ryan seemed to understand what Yu Sheng meant, and his expression instantly became serious.

While talking, the game is about to begin.

In this era, there are already crude electronic fences.

Pretty accurate.

The moment the fence opens.

Five horses rushed out of the track at the same time.

Although Ryan refused to be controlled by others, he was extremely talented.

Several jockeys he had handled had already taught Ryan how to compete in horse racing.

Therefore, as soon as he broke out of the runway, Ryan rushed forward like lightning.

It has to be said that animals like horses are truly masterpieces created by nature.

Great for running.

I spent the rest of my life lying on the horse, feeling the wind whistling past my ears.

The scenery in front of me disappeared in an instant, and the entire space seemed to be blurred.

The 1,000-meter world record set by a thoroughbred horse is fifty-four seconds, which is approximately 66.7 kilometers per hour.

When Ryan was running, Yu Sheng took the opportunity to look at the horses starting together on both sides.

The speeds of several racehorses are actually about the same.

But Ryan was clearly ahead, seemingly a nose faster than second place.

In such a fast running, four hundred meters flew by in an instant.

However, after 400 meters, the thoroughbred horse seemed to slow down.

After one thousand meters, Ryan had increased his advantage from the tip of his nose to a horse's head.

At a distance of about 1,500 meters, Ryan actually had a half-length advantage.

In the next 300 meters, no matter how hard the other thoroughbred horses tried, they could not catch up to this half-length distance.

Ryan crossed the finish line first.

At this time, there is already a gap between the last thoroughbred horse and The outcome of this horse race is no longer in suspense.

What's suspenseful is Ryan's speed.

After the referee determined the time it took Ryan to run 1,800 meters through a special timer, he exclaimed: "Oh, the horse ygod only took 100 seconds to run 1,800 meters." in the hereafter.

The world record for a thoroughbred horse is 1,000 meters and 54 seconds.

Approximately 18.5 meters per second.

The fastest thoroughbred horse can run within a thousand meters.

Once the distance is extended, the speed will drop significantly.

And the speed that Ryan ran at this distance was already amazing.

It was only a little slower than the full sprint of a thoroughbred horse.

At this speed, one can definitely win the American Triple Crown.

Several farmers who play horse racing all day long know what it means to have a horse with both speed and endurance.

This horse may not have the light dance steps recognized by the International Equestrian Federation, but it is definitely the darling of the racecourse.

Several avid horse racing enthusiasts, including James, were crying and howling in the stands for a while.

Americans have always loved the details of the beginnings of history.

These people never thought of it.

They also witnessed this moment in history.

The huge farmer who was called Jon by James and weighed at least three hundred kilograms ran over at a lightning speed and said to Yu Sheng who had just dismounted: "Mr.

Yu, can you agree to my request?"

"Um" "Tomorrow let Ryan compete in a ten-kilometer long-distance race.

If Ryan can beat my Hemingway in the ten-kilometer long-distance race, I am willing to buy Ryan for one million US dollars.

Hemingway is a four-year-old Arabian horse."

Yu Sheng said: "There is no problem with the game, but no matter what the result of the game is, Ryan will never sell it."

"Why did I hear that Mr.

Yu bought Ryan for only fifteen thousand dollars?"

"This makes no sense.

It's not a question of money either.

I never regard animals as just animals.

I have a Chinese purebred thin dog, and I have no intention of abandoning it since it became my companion.

Even if I fled to the United States from China.”

Several farmers felt helpless when they heard what Yu Sheng said.

Americans have always regarded dogs as members of the family.

Therefore, many extremely stringent animal protection laws have been enacted in later generations.

Speaking from this starting point, Yu Sheng expressed his meaning clearly.

Besides, for the rest of my life.

Ryan will be of great use in the future.

However, although Yu Sheng refused to sell Lane, however.

The game still has to go on.

After enjoying a dinner prepared by several farmers for the rest of his life, Lane was fed a bunch of honey-smeared carrots.

It's true to his word.

The feed for horse racing is actually very particular, because horses are grass-eating livestock, so the feed is required to contain more than 85% of high-quality forage.

And, it should be paired with other ingredients, such as: bran, alfalfa, oats, corn, chaff or finely chopped straw, barley, linseed, carrots, radish, apples, syrup, salt, etc.

Different jockeys even have their own exclusive secret recipes when it comes to feeding their horses.

To ensure that the racehorse can consume enough nutrients to maintain body consumption.

I don’t understand it for the rest of my life.

James helped prepare the feed.

Only carrots were fed to Ryan personally by Yu Sheng, which was regarded as a snack after the meal.

The next day, before Yu Sheng could wake up naturally, he was woken up by several enthusiastic horse racing enthusiasts.

I didn't even eat breakfast, so I was dragged to the racecourse by several people.

But Ryan's treatment was obviously much better than him.

After yesterday's victory, before Yu Sheng even got up, he was fed well by several farmers who were watching.

It looks like he's too exhausted to walk anymore.

However, after Ryan saw Yu Sheng, he became honest again.

Jon only glanced at the carrot in his hand.

Yu Sheng patted Ryan gently and said, "Have a good run later."

After saying that, he mounted his horse.

Several farmers looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded.

For those who love horse racing, if they have a horse that has the potential to win the Triple Crown and be worth millions of dollars, they may not necessarily treasure it.

There is no reason to treat the rest of my life so casually.

For this game, several farmers are prepared.

The horses brought out were not the purebred horses from yesterday's flat speed race, but four beautiful Arabian horses and Akhal Tekin horses.

Both types of horses are long-distance athletes with endless endurance.

In particular, the Akhal Tejin Horse once set a record of running 4,300 kilometers in 84 days.

And Ryan's speed seems not to be slow even when running long distances.

It only took ten minutes to finish the ten-kilometer run.

The average speed is sixty seconds per kilometer.

After the run, several onlookers, including James, expressed their protest to Yu Sheng.

"Oh, Mr.

Yu, your riding movements are too non-standard.

This can easily affect the speed of the horse.

If your movements are more standard, Ryan may break the world record."

Horses run extremely fast and can run continuously for more than 100 kilometers.

In ancient China, a good horse was described as traveling a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night.

Although this number is exaggerated, the ancient eight-hundred-mile express could indeed be a thousand miles if you changed to three or four good horses in the middle.

And this was basically the fastest speed humans could achieve before the advent of steam engines and internal combustion engines.

And Ryan's run with Yu Sheng made Yu Sheng feel something.

Why are humans still so obsessed with horseback riding after the advent of motor vehicles, instead of abandoning it like nothing?

The feeling of riding a horse is simply not comparable to riding a motor vehicle.

When a horse is running at full speed, the wind will fill a person's mouth and nose.

And in the long wind, there will be an illusion of flying.

In the horse's prancing, you can clearly feel the trembling of its muscles and the burst of strength.

This kind of free life, the power of trying to break free from the constraints of space, is a man who will like it No wonder that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the poet's favorite animal was always the horse.

No wonder the martial arts of this era and the martial arts of later generations always have stories about fighting with swords and relying on horses when describing the martial arts world.

Peach blossoms before the horse and snow behind the horse.

The setting sun illuminated the banner, and Ma Mingfeng was in a bad mood.

Outside the city of Juyan, people are hunting for geniuses, and the wild grass is burning all over the sky.

Driving horses when the clouds are clear at dusk, and shooting vultures on the plains in autumn.

With this mood and interest, Yu Sheng suddenly remembered that in this world, his favorite movie about horses, War Horse, had not yet existed.

If this movie was not moved to this era, it would be a failure as a time traveler:
