Chapter 228 Rain before Satsuki Appreciation

Although Wada Ryuji did not participate in the 800 meters in Nakayama, he still had the second race before Satsuki Shang.

It had been raining for a while by this time.

Although the distance is short, Wada Ryuji can still get a little familiar with the conditions of the venue.

This is his penultimate game of the day.

Seeing the rain, other riders began to think about new routes. Although the racecourse was reporting two races, the venue was obviously affected by the weather, and horse racing required more strength.

During the previous race on the 800-meter grass field, many racehorses failed to make it up the steep uphill slope of Zhongshan Racecourse as they expected before the race.

This information is enough to remind them that many people pay attention to this matter.

On his side, he is very confident in the good opera and the tactics formulated by Izumi Hikaru.

Their tactics take into account the possibility of rain before the game.

The No. 1 winner in this race was the iconic ranch horse ridden by Yukio Okabe, who led the way.

Successfully opened up a horse body distance behind.

The fifth most popular horse ridden by Wada Ryuji slowed down particularly hard after going uphill.

This also gave him an understanding of the final slope.

It's best to pull it up outside!

Although it is possible to charge forward from the inside, it is likely to waste more power.

He will do the same in this regard. He will discuss with Master Izumi about the upcoming appearance in the competition.

After the short distance of [-] meters, there is a mud race.

The rain did not decrease during this period.

It seems that this year's Satsuki Appreciation will definitely be held in the rain.

During this period, trainers and horse owners have been discussing the changes in this venue. Although the answer given by the racecourse is that of a good racecourse, they definitely do not believe that it has rained for more than an hour and has no impact on the racecourse. .

What's even more fatal is that some racehorses don't like to compete in rainy days. Raindrops hitting their bodies will make them show boredom.

Special props for rainy days are being quickly prepared in the rider's room.

Now that the situation has stabilized, the Satsuki Festival will definitely be held as scheduled no matter what.

This rain made many spectators feel that the game became more interesting.

But a strong horse has to overcome all difficulties.

Not just the turnstiles, but the weather too!

"It seems that everyone is having a heated discussion. Do you want us to discuss it too?"

After looking around, Izumi Feng said.

It's obvious that everyone is expressing their opinions on the Rainy Day Satsuki Appreciation.

"If you want, there's nothing wrong with us having a chat."

Izumi Hikaru didn't have any objections.

This race is about to end, and they have already set off from the stables. By this time, they should have arrived at the gate of Zhongshan Racecourse, waiting to enter.

I have to say that Yukio Okabe is in really good shape today.

It's a pity that Satsuki Shou didn't get a popular horse.

"I can tell by looking at you that rain in this game will be an advantage for a good opera."

Although he doesn't know much about horse racing, Izumi Kaede still understands his younger brother very well.

That look said it all.

"Suffice it to say, playing on a rainy day is really good for good opera."

Izumi nodded.

This can also be regarded as a direction for bloodline inheritance and selection, which will also lead to the extremely high share of many big stallion bloodlines in a country in the future.

The results have come out, but for production farms and stud stations, they have to continue to introduce foreign bloodlines.

Nowadays, the Sunday system is in a state of rapid development.

"Then I really hope it will rain in the next Derby and Chrysanthemum Appreciation."

Hearing that rain would be beneficial, Izumi Kaede felt more likely.

In the future, for important games, just ask for rain.

The weather is helping them, maybe the last few popular horses won't be able to run in the rain.

"There are not so many coincidences in the world, but I have to say that there are indeed many important games this year. It is unlikely that the next derby will rain."

Izumi Hikaru knew that he couldn't specifically aim at praying for rain.

The key is to improve Opera and Wada Ryuji, and he also needs to come up with the best tactical plan.

"Here we go, let's start entering."

Izumi Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the stable attendant wearing a raincoat leading the horse into the arena.

The horse that originally drew gate number [-] was removed from the race, so Orihime Aimo, who drew gate number [-], was cheered by the debut circle as soon as she entered the venue.

"The first one to enter is our No. 1 Qi, Aimu Orihime. Although the weather is raining, I am very confident in Aimu Orihime."

"I wonder if Rider Taketoyo can win the Satsuki Prize again this year."

The scene of Tokushu and Taketoyo winning the Satsuki Prize together last year is still vivid in my mind.

Not far behind are the racing horses that love to take the title.

Although this horse is the last one in this competition, its role is quite great for the admirer of Orihime.

This horse has also become the focus of everyone's attention.

This horse is very likely to run away at the beginning!
No. [-] Narita Road.

Narita Road, which won the outpost, was also the favorite to win the championship this time. It successfully defeated Admiration Orihime, but this time most people preferred Admiration Orihime's strength.

Riders vary greatly.

But overall it's no surprise who wins the race between these two horses.

So the cheers it got were no worse than those of Adoring Orihime.

NO.11 Royal ink is bright.

The horse racing horse was raced by a horse owner on Narita Road. This time, his Lao Ming Zhengyi was specially hired.

This racehorse is also a dead horse.

In terms of popularity, it is also second only to good opera.

NO.12 Good opera.When it comes to good operas, it's more average.

Although it is said to be a horse horse that suddenly broke out of the siege, its previous performance was indeed average.

After the good opera enters the debut circle, it obediently follows behind the stable steward.

Although the surrounding spectators had little impact on him, this was also his first time at this racecourse.

Take a look first.

As for the impact of rain on it, it is not that big.

Seeing the horse he was riding enter the arena, Wada Ryuji stood up in the lounge.

This also made many people in the rider room smile.

This is a bit stressful.

"This time, my expectations for a good opera are actually quite high."

"What's the reason?"

“Of course it’s the pedigree of a good opera, coupled with the good weather today, and Master Izumi himself is a trainer full of possibilities.”

"That's a bit possible, but I don't know if a good opera can perform as well as the last major award."

The commentator simply talked about his views on good opera.

There isn't much to analyze about this racehorse.

The only thing that can be said is that the trainer is very strong. Last year, no one really knew that this horse could participate in the Satsuki Prize as the fifth most popular horse.

But more people still feel that a heavy reward is the limit for this horse.

As for the riders, it can only be said that Master Izumi chose a mid-range rider. Compared to the other riders this time, the gap is just not as big as that of the Narita Road rider and Taketoyo.

Riders enter.

When the horse stopped, all seventeen riders ran quickly towards the horse they were riding.

Compared with the previous ones, this appearance was obviously much more lively, and the trainer confirmed a lot of things with the rider.

The rain obviously has no intention of stopping, and the impact of the venue has already had these effects, and may also interfere with their previously arranged tactics.

The most eye-catching thing in the photo circle is Takeyo and Yukio Okabe standing together.

The two men stood together and wore the same winning uniforms.

Everyone is looking forward to the tactical cooperation between these two horses.

咴咴——

咴咴——

During this period, some racehorses began to move restlessly.

"Master Izumi, then our tactics should remain the same as before?"

Wada Ryuji, wearing the Izumi family's final uniform, confirmed again.

Although there was no problem with their previous tactics, others had the possibility of changing their tactics, so he also had to confirm it.

This race is important to him and Izumi Stables.

"There are not many changes in tactics. If appropriate, you can pull it out a little bit. Judging from your previous games, the situation in the inner lane is not very good."

Izumi Hikaru quickly used the card that improved the rider's status.

This is his last one.

I hope this thing can be slightly improved for Wada Ryuji.

"Don't stress too much."

Izumi Feng touched the good opera and said.

No. 1 was under the greatest pressure, but they were fine.

"Master Izumi, I have confidence in good opera."

Wada Ryuji laughed.

Since I am participating in the competition, it must be to get No. 1, and this competition is not without the possibility of winning.

"Just focus on the next game."

Izumi Mitsuichi is holding an umbrella.

Compared to other teams, they really have nothing to change.

If there are no major problems at the gate this time, then there must be no major problems with his tactics.

Even if the horses in the Aimu family have tactical cooperation in this game, they don't need to be so afraid, they can just run out of their own things.

Chichi——

Hao Opera turned his head and looked at Wada Ryuji who was standing next to him.

Wada Ryuji didn't say anything more and got on the horse with the help of the stable attendant.

After being in the debut circle for so long, they can also go to the arena to familiarize themselves with the conditions of the venue.

pat——

Wada Ryuji got on the horse, first touched his mane, and then patted Opera's neck.

Today is important for them.

His first Grade [-] race with Good Opera!

The good opera looked around, then waited for the stable steward's instructions.

It's time to go to work again.

After such a long time, it has a clear understanding of what it wants to do, so this is its first time at Zhongshan Racecourse.

The other horses started to move.

Taketoyo and Yukio Okabe rode towards the induction horse before the race.

The trainer and the owners involved retreated from the debut ring.

Having said all that needs to be said, the next step is to look at the performance on the field.

Seeing the horses moving, the audience cheered louder.

The rain did not dampen their enthusiasm.

After waiting for so long, the first crown of the classic triple crown is finally about to begin.
