I work as a horse trainer in Tokyo

Chapter 245 Izumi Hikaru who works extra hard
Observe the condition of your horse and then train with opera.

On Friday, Izumi took a look at the conditions of several ponies, and then told the riders to continue training like this.

It's normal for two-year-old racehorses to make their debut in July.

The current era is not as hot as the later eras, which is definitely a good thing for horse racing. Although horse racing does not look like there is much hair on its body, it is extremely dense.

Playing in extremely hot weather can easily lead to heatstroke.

"Master Izumi, you have worked hard today."

Chijiang Taishou came up quickly.

Tomorrow is the Oaks race at Tokyo Racecourse.

He was still looking forward to meeting his father and Wu Feng.

The Tokyo Racecourse is significantly larger, and all the main characters will be present, as will next week.

During this period, there are more and more reports that the sting is not working.

You can only fight once. After fighting the Stinger this time, you can run your favorite 600 meters. No matter what, you have to keep an eye on the opponent this time.

"It's nothing. Now that I'm young, it's definitely a good thing to move more. When I get older, it's impossible to train racehorses again."

Izumi Hikaru jumped off the good opera.

Chichi——

Chichi——

The stable attendant quickly brought a bucket over to rehydrate the good opera after training.

And it didn't hesitate to drink it directly.

It doesn't matter if you drink some bath water while taking a shower.

"I see the carriage has arrived at the door."

"Well, Kuramoto-kun is already making final preparations and will set off in a moment."

"Let's take it to take a bath first. It's been doing very well these two days."

Izumi Hikaru patted the good opera next to him on his neck.

He felt that it was possible for the opera to reach its best state in the next month, and this state only appeared in Special Week, which was also before the Derby. He was scolded for a long time because he was grazing before the Derby.

"Well, let's go, good opera."

Hearing the trainer's affirmation, the opera stablekeeper smiled and nodded.

When he first got this horse, he only thought it was a good boy with limited strength. However, no one expected that under the training of Master Izumi, this good boy would become the first-level champion, defeating many favorites.

咴咴——

Good Opera saw Stinger coming out and looked up at Sunday Picnic and said hello.

They have been familiar with each other for some time.

Stinger gave it a passing glance, while Sunday Picnic responded enthusiastically.

They are going on a long journey.

"You must work hard for tomorrow's game. After this game, you can go to Hokkaido to rest."

Izumi touched their heads.

The last game in the first half of the three-year-old year.

The Stinger will go straight into the Mile route, while Sunday Picnic will continue on the route of the Mares Triple Crown.

The autumn flower viewing in the second half of the year is 2000 meters. This distance is also suitable for a Sunday picnic, and it is also a racecourse in Kansai.

They can train together in the second half of the year, but there is a high probability that they will go their separate ways during the game. This will also be the last day they play together.

Stinger and Sunday Picnic got on the wagon after being touched.

This time, the journey to the Tokyo Racecourse was long, but the skilled assistance would not put a huge strain on the horse racing itself, and nearly a day's rest was enough for the two of them to recover.

After confirming again, Chie Taishou and Izumi Hikaru got on the carriage with the stable attendant.

He is already very skilled in these businesses.

Check-in to the stable, veterinary examination, horse racing number report.

The carriage was definitely not as comfortable as the stable, but Stinger acted very calmly. Seeing that his good friend was fine during the Sunday picnic next to him, his own mental state became much more stable.

It was obvious that this trip would take much longer than before.

The driver is quite familiar with this road.

Focus on a suitable speed and then stability.
-
After Stinger and Sunday Picnic set off, the stables also welcomed the farriers.

The horseshoes of the horses in the stable must be changed regularly.

Shoes are like shoes to a horse. Daily training will inevitably cause wear and tear on them, and the shoes will also interfere with the performance of the horse on the field.

"Master Izumi, how many horses will be replaced this time?"

The farrier handed over the list.

He has been in the industry for many years, and now he takes two apprentices with him when he goes out. The most important thing is to learn, and then he can also bring props.

"Well, these are the horses. Please master, they must be the best this time. They all have competitions to participate in next."

Izumi glanced at it and said.

Stove, shoes, pliers, nails.
These things look quite painful, but they are really not that harmful, and the main thing to replace the shoes this time is also Good Opera, especially this week there is a golden journey.

It can still be used for a long time after this replacement.

Chichi——

The first one to be replaced was Hao Opera. After being pulled out, the foot to be replaced was lifted up and placed on a plastic bracket.

The master will first remove the previous shoe, then trim the toenails, then find a suitable shoe and heat it in the furnace. After replacing it, he will fix it with nails.Good opera is familiar with this process.

While the process is a bit boring, it doesn't hurt in itself.

Although I don’t know what it is used for, every time the shoe is updated, it will take a while to get used to it.

"Master Izumi is going to have a derby soon, right?"

"Yes, it will be next week, so I just need to replace it. It needs to be fixed tightly so that it doesn't fall off during the game."

Mitsuichi Izumi sitting on the window frame in the corridor.

If the shoe falls off during the race, it will directly affect the balance and performance of the horse.

This is a very fatal thing for both horse racing and jockeys, and with so many races a year, it is not uncommon for shoes to fall off, but the time and period of occurrence vary.

But no matter what, he definitely doesn't want this to happen to his own horse.

"Haha, Master Izumi, my skills can still be trusted."

The farrier quickly trimmed off the excess nails on Hao Opera's left front foot, then asked his disciple to get the appropriate shoe. After confirming it several times, he placed it in the furnace.

Soon, the shoe was placed directly on the left front foot of Good Opera under the high temperature.

sizzle-

White smoke was rising, but the good opera just shook its head.

Changing shoes doesn't hurt at all.

After repeated confirmation, the shoe was fixed on the foot with nails, followed by cleaning of the nails and finally applying a layer of armor oil.

Good Opera's shoe replacement process went smoothly.

This also has something to do with his own personality. When it comes to the golden journey, there are obviously more staff around him.

Everyone looked wary.

The same goes for farriers.

He himself was bitten by the Golden Journey, but fortunately there were no major problems.

Chichi——

咈哧——!
Golden Journey has a different perspective on people and good opera.

It's really a vicious horse.

But work is work, and you can’t stop changing the horse’s shoes just because he has a bad temper.

After the change, the good opera was taken outside for a walk by the stable attendant.

After changing, you must let the horse get familiar with it.

"Don't scare people, don't hurt yourself."

Seeing Golden Journey and wanting to bite again, Izumi clapped his hands.

Golden Journey, who was just about to start speaking, stopped and glanced in his direction.

boring.

call--

Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Trainer Izumi is still very good, and they really don't dare to mess with someone like Golden Journey.

Seeing that the golden journey had stopped, the farrier immediately increased his speed.

Let you see the decades of skill!
The main reason is that the longer the time, the more dangerous it will be for him. Get is afraid that there will be something wrong with his movements, which will make the golden mile uncomfortable, but at least this time it is quite easy.

After the golden journey of changing shoes, I happily went out for a spin.

The ponies around were looking at what was going on here curiously.

There's no point in being in the stable anyway.

After the golden journey comes the special week, which is about as quiet as a good opera can be.

After it was replaced, the good opera came full circle.

"Master Izumi feels there is nothing wrong."

said the stable attendant.

Go out and take a walk to see if there are any other problems. If there are any problems, you can make modifications directly.

"Well, just walk around the courtyard a few more times and that's it."

Izumi Hikaru said while looking at the good opera outside.

In addition to changing the shoe, the stable also needs to take care of the horse's mane and teeth, and take various anthelmintics regularly.

Not long after, Special Zhou also walked out excitedly.

The two-year-old ponies in the stable were particularly envious.

During this period, their main life is training, and then training again.

The training intensity has become much higher these days, and next week will be the gate training. Izumi Hikaru hopes that they can successfully learn to enter and exit the gate, which is a very critical thing for horse racing.

If there is a problem in this regard on the competition field, there is a high probability that you will be asked to take a re-examination after the game, which will obviously delay the subsequent arrangements, as well as the written examination.

If you fail the exam, there is no way to continue participating in the competition.

"I'm troubling you this time too."

"Whatever happens, this is my job in itself. If you have any horses that need to be replaced, just call me directly."

"Well, when I get back, I'll ask them to send the money directly to you."

"Okay, Master Izumi, we will go back first. I wish you good luck in the competition this week."

Izumi Hikaru is quite satisfied with the replacement of shoes this time.

There were no problems and it was very fast.

As for the money spent this time, the people from the stable will naturally send it to the other party.

People today still prefer cash payments, even in the future.

They don't have much trust in those big private banks. Existing in a bank is not as good as using it for daily consumption.
