I work as a horse trainer in Tokyo

Chapter 37 Before the Derby

In the blink of an eye, it’s the week of the derby match.

The morning exercises these days are also in charge of Shigebumi Kumasawa, and Hikaru Izumi is also responsible for the afternoon training.

"Very good. Compared to the last game, I have become much stronger!"

Looking at the golden journey that was going uphill rapidly, Chie Tairo, who was holding a telescope, was also very satisfied.

In this way, let’s take a brief rest this afternoon, and then we can start the final chase before the game tomorrow.

"This is quite powerful, but I still feel a little tired."

Izumi Mitsuichi was on the side.

He must take a good rest this afternoon, and then prepare for tomorrow's pursuit. If he continues to train with high intensity, he feels that this fatigue will be reduced to the lowest point.

"One thing is true. Just take a good rest this afternoon. Your muscles have grown a lot during this time."

Chijiang Tailang looked at it for a while and said.

The training intensity during this period is indeed not low. The main reason is that this race is very important, and there will also be a long vacation after the golden journey.

"Well, I hope I can be in good shape tomorrow and draw a good gate number."

Izumi Guang looked at the golden journey rushing up.

The current state has definitely reached its highest point, but this also sacrifices a lot of fatigue points and even a lot of carrots.

The gate number also has great restrictions on the performance of the golden journey.

Small racehorses are like this.

If it is other small-sized horses, and if they start well, most of them will choose to run away and accelerate hard at the beginning to widen the distance.

But the golden journey is a typical one that doesn’t want to run when you get to the front.

"Hopefully, after the pursuit ends on Wednesday, we will set off for Miura on Thursday, and wait for Saturday to transfer from there to the Tokyo Racecourse."

Because they had a bad temper the last time they arrived at the Tokyo Racecourse, they also decided to move early.

Even if he loses his temper, he still walks sideways.

If something like this happened in the Derby, there would really be no hope at all.

It's definitely better to go from Miura's training center to Tokyo Racecourse than to go directly from here.

"no problem."

The golden journey started early, so Izumi Hikaru naturally had to make arrangements accordingly.

For him, there is no problem now as long as he takes care of the golden journey.

While the two were chatting about the next arrangements, Xiongzao Shigebumi, who was on the road, also started to crack the whip.

He originally thought that he would not have a place in this year's Derby, but he did not expect that the golden journey would really bring him a surprise.

Since you can participate, there is hope.

And on the other hand, he can really feel that Golden Journey is getting stronger and stronger now. If this continues, the three-year-old Golden Journey can once again hit the first level in the second half of the year.

咈哧——!
咈哧——!
The golden journey also begins to sprint up the final slope of the mountain road.

Compared with before, it is actually getting easier and easier to charge now, which is inseparable from the fact that it itself is constantly getting stronger.

Xiongzao Chongwen was also very satisfied with this.

This new trainer assistant is still very capable.

He himself is also somewhat interested in what results Izumi Hikaru will achieve at the Jockey Club next.

But before that, he still had to concentrate on finishing today's training.

At the end of Wednesday's pre-match pursuit, Xiongzao Shigebumi also gave high praise.

This time, their pursuit of nature was from the rear.

The final burst of Golden Journey also works well for this tactic. "Now that the gate numbers have been announced, Golden Journey will get the No. 11 gate."

Chie Tairo also started the pre-match meeting.

Although he didn't think the golden journey could produce any good results, the tactics that should be deployed must still be arranged.

"This position is quite good. As long as there are no big problems in the front, I should be able to get a good position."

Xiong Zhe Chongwen said.

Naturally, I am very satisfied with this draw. Regardless of whether I can produce any results, the most important thing is to gain an advantage first.

If it is in the inner lane, then there is no hope at all in this Golden Journey game.

"I also think it is possible, and there will definitely be a running horse leading the pace in this game. We have this advantage and can wait for the opportunity to take advantage."

Izumi Hikaru also glanced at the gate numbers that he followed for horse racing.

This time, most of the popular horses are on the outside.

As a result, the competition in the inner lane ahead is expected to be fierce, and the winner of the Satsuki Prize, Sunshine Bairen, is also famous for running away. Even in the outer lane, his opponent will choose to escape forcefully.

Under normal circumstances, the fleeing horses on the outer road will be restrained.

Rushing from the outermost gate to the inner lane, and then having to surpass the other horses in the inner lane in speed, this will consume a lot of energy in the early stage and is also a huge burden for the horse racing.

"The famous escaped horses now are Sunshine Shirino and Silent Suzuka."

Ikee Tairo followed up with Quanguang's words.

Silent Suzuka is Gate No. [-], so the possibility of escape is still high.

As for the winner of the Satsuki Prize at Gate No. 18, he felt that the possibility of his opponent escaping was not very high.

"I feel that Sunshine Bairen may continue to use the escape tactic this time. All we have to do this time is to keep an eye on the opponent."

Izumi Light is the Tao.

The large outside gate failed to stop the opponent.

This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous tactic, but the opponent is really not afraid of it.

"Are you so brave?"

Chijiang Tailang was also stunned for a moment.

If it were him, he would definitely not choose such a tactic.

"Well, I heard that in the rider's pre-race interview, the opponent did clearly intend to continue their escape, even under such unfavorable circumstances."

Xiong Ze Chongwen coughed dryly.

During the pre-match interviews, they naturally bragd to each other, and some even boldly revealed their own tactics.

Let you know how we run next!
"Then we can indeed keep an eye on each other."

Chijiang Tailang said.

If there is a strong escape horse, then the tactics of other horses will most likely be determined.

He was just curious now whether Silent Suzuka would compete with him for the position of the escaped horse.

"As long as you get a good position at the start, you still have to look at the reaction on the spot. I believe the pace of this game will not be slow."

Izumi Hikaru also studied this game.

The popular horses will not put pressure on Sunshine Shirahito from the front, and they will all stay behind and wait for the final straight at Tokyo Racecourse.

What the Golden Journey has to do is to find such an opportunity among many powerful enemies.

The rest depends on the final performance.

"Okay, then let's discuss other points."

Their war meeting wasn't over yet.

The three of them were discussing tactics, while the golden journey was sleeping in the stable.
