I work as a horse trainer in Tokyo

Chapter 262 A strong enemy flies on the grass

Hokkaido, Shedai Ranch.

When you wake up, a dedicated person will comb your hair, and then go to the pasture to graze. You can eat and play as you like in the pasture.

And the horses around here are all familiar to the opera.

Compared to the previous stables and breeding pastures, life here is undoubtedly the best.

This feeling can only be felt when you are young, but the stables are more crowded when you are young, because the ponies live in the same room as the mare, and after weaning, they graze with their mates.

In a few months, the ranch may arrange night grazing, which is mainly to enhance the physical fitness of the horse.

Grazing at night and resting in the stable during the day.

Later it became the breeding ranch and training center.

For any racehorse, a break from grazing is undoubtedly the most comfortable, and this is where good operas enjoy the best treatment.

咴咴——

When you first come out to graze, you can say hello to your friends around you and then lower your head to eat grass.

When you have nothing to do, you can put your head on the railing and look at other places. When you are bored, you can run along the railing with your Sunday picnic.

After the stinger recovers, it likes to keep its head down and eat grass.

It has little interest in interacting with Sunday picnics and good opera.

Every once in a while, there will be officers in charge of them driving around in cars to patrol.

These racehorses are extremely important, both in terms of value and bloodline. They need to patrol at regular intervals to determine whether there is any problem with the racehorse. If there is a problem, the problem can be solved as quickly as possible.

Rolling on the ground twice, Good Opera entered a state of relaxation again.

Daily daze.

There was no reaction to the good opera, so we continued to eat grass during the Sunday picnic.

Life is so leisurely now.

Although Wada Ryuji wanted to see a good opera, it was a pity that his relationship was not strong enough at all. If he wanted to go to Shetai Ranch to watch a good opera, he could not get the qualifications to enter.
-
On Monday and Tuesday, Izumi Hikaru personally took charge of the afternoon training during the special week.

Naturally, Wu Feng, the main battle rider, came in the morning.

This week's game is very important, Wu Feng devoted all the time he could to Special Zhou.

Although there is no strong enemy like Nebula Sky, he also knows that the strength of Cao Shangfei cannot be underestimated. It is definitely not an easy task to defeat Jian Jian and Cao Shangfei.

We won once last year, but it was ridden by Dettori, not him.

If this game is lost, it will definitely cause the audience to discuss the gap between Dai Tuli and Wu Feng.

Chichi——

Chichi——

Golden Journey took a look at the end of a special week of training together.

The intensity has obviously increased in the past few days, but Izumi Hikaru is also paying attention to the condition of their legs and feet.

The last game of the first half of the year.

After this game is over, they can go find a good opera and let them graze together.

Chi Tianqian was responsible for almost all the training in the past few days during the Golden Journey.

"The condition is very good. All the training required today has been completed."

Izumi Hikaru touched the special Zhou who lowered his head and leaned towards him.

special week

Age: four years old

Coat color: black deer hair
Tune: Double Circle (Excellent Tune)
Fatigue: Double Circle

Adaptability: grassland
Distance: medium to long distance

Weight: 479
After the previous derby, the special week once again reached the best state.

This is undoubtedly what Izumi Hikaru wants to see most. As for reaching this state again in the second half of the year, it will be difficult. The pressure of the three autumn championships is very high, and he must pay attention to the control of fatigue.

I finally reached this state a few days before the Takarazuka Memorial Day.

The remaining few days are just a matter of completing the pre-game pursuit and maintaining condition.

As for the golden journey.

The other party's temper has not been very good recently.

golden itinerary
Age: five years old

Coat color: black deer hair
Tune: Double Circle

Fatigue: Double Circle

Adaptability: grassland
Distance: medium to long distance

Weight: 432
The weight is also controlled quite well, and the horse's body is also shaped to the effect he wants.

"Today's condition is really good, it feels like before the derby."

Wu Feng has the most profound memory of last year’s derby.

That was also his strongest game in a special week last year.

Now that feeling is back, this is undoubtedly the best news for him.

"Today's data is also very good. The state is better than the Spring Emperor Award, and our opponents are also stronger."

Izumi rubbed his particularly Zhou nose.

"Of course, the Golden Journey side is also good. Today's final performance is also very good. I feel that the pressure to go first is not that great."

Hearing his name, Golden Journey pricked up his ears.

Listen to what the trainer has to say.

If it doesn't sound good, bite him!
"I'm confident in the golden journey."

Chi Tianqian smiled and touched Golden Journey's mane.

They just have to run their own.

This time there was no Mejiro Light and Nebula Sky, and their biggest enemy was much less numerous. The three of them were chatting here, and the surrounding reporters came over.

The two racehorses are one of the most watched racehorses in Lidong Center right now.

The other one is the Halo of the Holy King. Everyone is curious about how the team will perform when they sign up for the Takarazuka Memorial Event.

After finishing the three-year-old race, most people felt that the Holy King's halo was only at the top, but they did not have the strength to reach the top group.

"Let's wait until Thursday's chase is over. You two can go back and rest."

Wu Feng and Chi Tianqian dismounted at the same time, and then handed the horse to the stable attendant.

I hope I can run in a good state on Thursday’s chase.

As a summary of a Grade [-] race in the first half of the year, the jockey must hope that his flag horse can achieve a good result.

After sending these two away, Izumi Hikaru's remaining task is to watch the next training of the two-year-old horse.

Compared with special weeks and golden journeys, the training of two-year-old horses needs to pay more attention to their own performance and whether they have improved during this period. There are also many things that need to be adjusted in terms of the shaping of the horse's body.

It can be said that the two-year-old age is a period of rapid growth for a horse, but it is unclear whether the expected results can be achieved. At the age of three, the horse will continue to grow.

This also depends on the situation of the horse itself. The pedigree has a great influence on the growth rate of the horse.

On Wednesday afternoon, Izumi Hikaru accepted a pre-match interview with the TV station.

"Master Izumi, what do you think about winning No. 1 Qi this time in this special week?"

"Thank you for your trust. The popularity and support rate this time is indeed very high, but we will not be careless. After all, there are strong opponents in this game."

Izumi Hikaru replied.

"Then what is the powerful enemy that Master Izumi mentioned?"

Yuri Ishimura said curiously.

The Condor is not in China, and there are really only a few strong opponents in this game.

"I think this strong enemy is Fei Shang. I have been paying attention to its performance this year. Although its performance in the mile is a little disappointing, in the middle distance, I believe Fei Cao is still a special horse. Strong racehorse.”

Izumi Hikaru has been thinking about this issue during this time.

This time in the Takarazuka Memorial, a total of twelve horses participated in this race. To be honest, the difficulty was not very high, and the possibility of the tactics being affected was not great.

"Then what do you think about Mejiro Miguel and Nebula Sky withdrawing from the competition?"

These two horses are also good rivals in special weeks.

In particular, Zhou Chunhuang's brilliant performance directly defeated these two horses.

"I feel it is a pity to lose two such opponents in such an event. Their strength is recognized by everyone."

Izumi Guang feels that if these two horses participate in the competition, the direction of the competition will be easier to control.

It would be nice to have Nebula Sky back to lead the pace of the game.

The horses that were decided to be led in this race were not very strong. Although they were participating in the Takarazuka Kinen, the only result of the lead was stalling on the straight.

"As for Special Week's status, everyone must be wondering what Master Izumi thinks of it at this moment."

"In terms of state, I feel that I have returned to the invincible state of last year's Derby. Please prepare your team mentally in advance for the special week."

Izumi smiled and then said.

As the No. 1 player, he will definitely be targeted by other teams.

The next most critical impact is the gate problem. If possible, he definitely hopes to finish the game at the pace of the first team in this special week.

Smile confidently.

As a fan of Special Week, Ishimura Yuri instantly felt that he almost had this game in his hands.

I was infected by this smile.

Compared to previous interviews, Master Izumi was obviously more confident before this game.

The follow-up interview on Golden Journey was also conducted by Hikaru Izumi.

During the interview, he also expressed his expectations for his disciples and his affirmation of the strength of Golden Journey.

His performance in the Golden Journey competition in the first half of this year was quite stable. Takarazuka Kinen also gained quite a lot of popularity before, and he got a pretty good name in last year's Takarazuka Kinen.

Many people now think that Hanshin Racecourse is more suitable for a golden journey.

Chichi——

It wasn't until the interview was almost over that Golden Journey was revealed.

I called Quan Guang several times before, but there was no response from it, so I stayed with Quan Guang alone for the rest of the interview.

"Master Izumi, thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I have to do as a trainer and thank you for always supporting the horses."

Izumi Hikaru handed two bottles of mineral water to the two of them.

Without the support of so many spectators, the horse racing industry would certainly not have developed to this extent.

"By the way, Master Izumi, I saw a horse riding club using what seemed to be your photo."

Yuri Ishimura took the mineral water and said.

When she passed the billboard before, she checked it several times.

"Oh, that's my sister's horse riding club. She let me be a model for free before."

"That's right. That photo is really handsome. It's a pity that I didn't see you riding a horse and running."

After getting the answer, Ishimura Yuri nodded.

If you have time later, you can support it.

"If you have the idea of ​​riding a horse, you can try it."

Izumi Hikaru took the opportunity to recommend it to her sister.

This was just a matter of words to him.

"I will go there when I have time! I have been wanting to ride a horse for a while."

Yuri Ishimura found it attractive to be able to ride retired racehorses.

Before, she could only watch the horses competing in the field.
