I work as a horse trainer in Tokyo

Chapter 249 Successfully defended his throne
Chichi——

The other horses trotted all the way, but Stinger walked straight back.

If possible, it would like to stop where it is and rest.

Today's work was very tiring, and in the end, I almost couldn't hold on.

Stinger, who was in front, soon reached the back of the horse racing team.

Anyway, the game is over, and there will be no problem in the end.

Izumi Hikaru and Yoshida Teruya were standing in the underground rest area of ​​Tokyo Racecourse. They went to check out the Sunday picnic first.

Kenichi Ikezo and Sunday Picnic are doing very well.

It is indeed not easy to get a No.3 in this game.

This was also determined through slow playback and taking photos at the same time.

Won No.4 by one centimeter.

Chi Tianqian smiled happily after receiving praise from his master and horse owner.

This game was the one where he felt he played his best.

He is improving with every Group [-] race and feels like his first Group [-] win is getting closer.

"The performance is very good. Master Izumi did not recommend the wrong person."

Yoshida Teruya was very satisfied.

Both of his horses have performed like this, which proves that his vision is successful enough.

Before the competition, I felt that Sunday Picnic might not necessarily make me top five.

"Mr. Yoshida, I will continue to work hard in the second half of the year."

Chi Tianqianyi said very confidently.

In the second half of this year's Autumn Flower Awards, he feels that he can be even stronger.

After finishing speaking, he patted the Sunday picnic next to him. It was this horse that brought him to the highest peak of his career as a jockey.

The help of his master is also the biggest key to his success today.

"The second half of the year will be horse racing in Kyoto and Hanshin, which you are more familiar with. Come on."

Yoshida Teruya nodded.

There is no problem for Chi Tianqianyi to be the main rider on this horse.

There were no problems with the game or himself, and he would definitely not directly replace Izumi Hikaru's disciple.

"Okabe-kun——"

Izumi Hikaru smiled and waved when he saw the last horse and rider coming over.

Stinger
Age: three years old

Coat color: deer hair

Tune: Single lap

Fatigue: Cross
Adaptability: grassland
Distance: miles

Weight: 460
This fatigue and condition are decreasing crazily, and so is the weight.

It’s really a game that burns you.

"Izumi-kun, congratulations."

After Chijiang Tailang took care of his own affairs, he came over and congratulated.

This time I got second place and showed my strongest strength.

As a horse trainer, there is nothing good to say. Compared with others, he feels that his tactics have been very successful.

"Wu Fengjunhe also performed very strongly in order to win this game."

Izumi turned around and said.

For Chie Taro, he has always regarded the other person as his master and someone he respects.

"It's a pity that we won't have the chance to play together again in the future."

Chijiang Taishou said.

For the sake of winning, he felt much better.

In any case, his father was very well-known in the trainer circle, and he was happy that he won an important Group [-] race as a trainer's assistant.

"It's really not appropriate to shorten the schedule for the sake of victory. Let's talk."

Chijiang Tailang said hello and left.

Kaneko Makoto over there also had a little chat with them. He was really not in a good mood after his family lost the horse race.

But the news that the Stinger will be scaled back next is good news indeed.

"Rider Okabe, how are you feeling now? Regarding winning this extremely important Oak Tree race."

"I'm very happy! I always felt old before, but I didn't expect to get so much cheers and support from everyone. I will work harder in the next games, and I also want to thank Stinger for his perseverance. , without this spirit we would not have been able to win this championship!”

Yukio Okabe also adjusted his breathing during the interview.

In the final stage of the game, he obviously lost some strength, but fortunately he recovered a little during the interview.

"Before this game, everyone was questioning the distance of Stinger, but Stinger and you still successfully won the oak tree. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Regarding the reduction of schedule, I feel that Master Izumi's judgment is extremely correct. The need for this can be clearly felt in the second half of this game."

Yukio Okabe tells the truth.

Stinger's willpower and desire to win shocked him. Without this belief, they would have lost the game as early as the last 200 meters.

Although Stinger was not the strongest horse he had ever ridden, this race was enough to impress a top rider like him.

He was lucky enough to get the horse and keep his name.

"Does that mean we will give up the Triple Crown in the second half of the year and reduce the mileage?!"

This information is extremely important.

"We will continue to discuss this matter."

It’s hard to say for Yukio Okabe either.But to be honest, he still wanted to participate in the Triple Crown together, at least to have another try, but the reality did not allow it.

Neither Kyoto nor Hanshin are suitable for the performance of the last horse.

The distance is still beyond.

"Another important question is how Okabe rider chose the final route. Although it is very difficult to pull out, it is easier than taking the inside route. How did you make the decision at the time?"

During the match, Stinger rushed into the inner lane box with everyone watching.

But the back did shuttle between the racehorses and came out!
This tactic is too dangerous!
"This tactic was naturally discussed before the game. This is also Master Izumi's death order."

Yukio Okabe is very glad that he chose this path.

The two horses from the rear on the outer lane charged too hard, and the route was quite confusing. Many horses from the back were unable to come up. Instead, he, the horse sprinting from the inside lane, rushed up.

"What do you think of this tactic?"

"For me, this is indeed the best choice. Winning is the best proof that Division Izumi's tactics are completely flawless."

Yukio Okabe said with a smile.

This road is the most energy-saving running method. Pulling out will waste a lot of energy and leg strength.

He couldn't bear the way Stinger looked after the game. If he could get off his horse, he would have done so long ago.
-
After completing the examination, Stinger drank a lot of water in the shower.

Tired and thirsty.

The white sweat on his body was quickly washed away by the stable attendant.

After the game, Stinger obviously lost his energy. He walked very slowly when patrolling the field, and sometimes stopped for a while.

Chichi——

Chichi——

The cheers on the field were just a little lower than during the game.

The audience present was moved by the spirit of Sting.

For many horse racing horses, most of them who cannot run in the end will also give feedback to the riders, and the riders will basically choose to protect the horses.

But during the game, Stinger showed that only he wanted to continue to move forward.

The same goes for Yukio Okabe's forward push.

It is also not easy for the elderly to push and ride and not be weaker than a group of top young people.

The awards ceremony and photo taking afterwards were no different from before. There was nothing different except that there were more people.

Yukio Okabe stood next to Stinger during the final photo shoot.

The game was already tiring, so there was no need for him to add more weight to the opponent.

rest well.

During the banquet in the evening, several of them discussed the new arrangements for the stinger.

Based on feedback from all parties, we are determined to take the miles route in the second half of the year.

In terms of current performance, I can run both 1800 meters and 2 meters, but my performance at 1600 meters is better.

For a late horse like him, Tokyo Racecourse is the best.

Only with these words of blessing can we win this oak game.

"The competition arrangements for the second half of this year will depend on how good Izumi is. In this regard, there is indeed no problem with the suggestions Izumi gave before."

Yoshida Teruya raised the wine glass in his hand.

"I will also make some adjustments to the horse racing arrangements for the second half of this year, but there are definitely many advantages in terms of weight-bearing, and there is indeed the possibility of continued impact in terms of training progress and horse physique."

Izumi Hikaru continued the topic.

Stinger performed really well in terms of stability in the competition, but the mare will definitely still be affected in the mixed group.

As the outside world says, if a horse does not prove itself in an important mixed group, it definitely does not have enough strength to prove it.

After the celebration party, Izumi Hikaru stayed in the hotel for one night, and went to the stable early the next morning to see how Stinger was doing.

"Didn't you eat much?"

He looked at Stinger, who was facing the wall and shutting himself up.

The consumption this time was really too great. Fortunately, I didn’t have any plans for the first half of the year and my health was fine.

"Well, I didn't finish eating last night, and I only ate a little bit this morning, but my mood is still very stable."

The stable attendant was a little worried.

It's been a night and nothing has improved, and this is the first time this has happened.

"It's not a big problem. The main reason is that I'm too tired. You can just be responsible for the two of them these days. The social platform will arrange a carriage to come over."

After Izumi looked at the panel again, he said.

First go to the Shedai Ranch in Chiba to rest for a while before starting your long summer vacation.

Chichi——

The Sunday picnic popped up quickly.

The probe was quickly touched by Izumi Hikari.

Sunday Picnic also has a lot of decline, but it is much better than the Stinger, and the middle distance is quite suitable for it.

This time it was mainly due to transportation and not adapting to some aspects of the field, so it fell off quite a bit.

"After resting here for a day, you can go to Shetai Ranch to have fun. You can hold on for another day."

Izumi Hikaru.

The stable attendant had to wait until Shetai delivered the carriage, but he wanted to go back quickly. This week was Derby week, and he would have to come back again on Saturday and Sunday this week.

Only this time it was Wada Ryuji and the opera who came to compete.

Rider Kitamura was in charge of the training this morning, and his condition was pretty good. Ryuji Wada will be training in the afternoon and tomorrow.

And he himself will appear on the observation deck of the training center on time this afternoon.
