The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 150 149. Miss Jasmine’s debut in the competition

In late March, Jasmine devoted herself to preparing for her debut with Miss Alexandria.

For this important race, Old Hans even invited his best friend to be his daughter’s horse trainer.

In the horse racing world, almost every participating horse has a professional team behind it. For example, Otto's "Eye of the Storm" has three specialists responsible for taking care of it.

In comparison, "wild men" like Lin Feng are rare, which has earned him quite a legendary reputation in River Valley Town.

Someone once described Lin Feng's amazing performance in the Karen Competition: It was like a layman with no tennis background who suddenly broke into the US Open and defeated the famous Roger Federer with a few swings of the racket and won the championship.

Although this metaphor is exaggerated, it is enough to illustrate how eye-catching Lin Feng's performance was that day.

During this time, Jasmine's life was very fast-paced.

In addition to her daily work, she also finds time for equestrian training and strives to become an excellent rider.

At the same time, he has to go to work normally, drive on patrol to deal with troubles, and switch back and forth between the two identities.

However, she does not hate this busy life, but enjoys it.

Jasmine understands that only by enriching herself can she avoid laziness and depression.

"I just don't want my seventy-year-old self to regret it. At that time, my appearance has faded, I have lost my passion and drive, and there is nothing left but killing time." Jia Simin told Lin Feng on the phone.

It is indeed admirable that a 23-year-old girl can have such foresight.

In big cities, many girls of the same age may be addicted to bars, parties and even contraband, but Jasmine has chosen a completely different path.

The competition location was set in Billings, just over 200 kilometers away from the pastoral area, a moderate distance.

By then, Patricia will drive a truck to take Miss Alexandria to the competition venue.

The third eldest son of the Grando family always enjoyed such errands. He regarded it as a pleasant outing.

At the same time, the horse trainer will also accompany him, and together with Lin Feng, the four of them form a temporary small team.

On the eve of her departure, Catherine found Lin Feng, with a trace of worry in her eyes, hoping that he could visit Colter on her behalf in his spare time.

This young son, who worried the old couple, was always a concern in their hearts.

Although Uncle David always looked nonchalant on the surface, Lin Feng knew that the old man was also feeling melancholy about this matter privately.

On the previous night, beside the campfire, David talked to Lin Feng about the past between himself and Colter.

They were once a close father and son, but as Colt grew up, the two had serious differences in their plans for the future.

Colter wanted nothing more than to pursue a career in baseball, while David wished he could choose a safer path.

The dispute ultimately led to a souring relationship between father and son, and Colter was determined to prove himself in baseball, but the results did not go as he had hoped.

Faced with such family disputes, Lin Feng understood that what he could do as an outsider was very limited.

However, he can go see Colt and find out how he is doing.

At that time, it would be like a spy, secretly observing the young man's life and then coming back to report truthfully to the Davids.

Although this does not solve their problems, it at least allows the old couple to learn more about their son.

The horse racing venue in Billings has a compact layout and an all-open-air design that makes the viewing atmosphere more natural. Although the scale is not large, it has brought the audience closer to the players and created a unique down-to-earth atmosphere.

At ten o'clock that morning, the group arrived at the racecourse. The game is scheduled to be played at two o'clock in the afternoon. After the game, they will rush home without stopping because Jasmine has to go to work the next day.

Although such an itinerary is a bit of a hassle, it feels good to be busy, which is better than being idle.

As the third largest city in Montana, Billings is similar to Helena in that its economy is mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry.

However, this city has a striking feature. The divorce rate remains high and it ranks at the top of the list of divorce cities in the United States.

People can't help but wonder what kind of resentment is hidden in this small town with a population of only 60,000.

The temperature in Billings at this time is pleasant and it coincides with the spring rain season.

It had just rained yesterday and the ground was still slightly wet. When a blizzard hit Montana some time ago, the entire city suffered a power outage and it made national news.

As game time approaches, Jasmine begins to prepare for her appearance.

However, the supporting facilities at the competition venue were disappointing.

The stables in particular were in terrible condition, and rats were even found in them.

This situation made Lin Feng and others more determined to go home immediately after the game. They did not want Miss Lishan to stay in such a shabby place for one more day, let alone contract any infectious disease.

Just before the race was about to start, Jasmine had already changed into a white riding uniform designed by herself.

The eye-catching red stripe on the chest represents Flame Joey, meaning that Miss Alexander will have Joey's speed.

Looking at Jia Simin's heroic appearance in her riding uniform, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile and asked: "My dear, how do you feel? Do you have confidence in yourself?"

Jasmine's eyes flashed, and she answered seriously: "Of course, I won't lie to myself by saying that winning or losing doesn't matter. The purpose of going to the track is to win, otherwise why would we have to drive three hours to Billings."

The girl's serious look was particularly charming, and Lin Feng couldn't help but feel inspired.

Lin Feng smiled and snapped his fingers, "One small step for you, one giant leap for the horse racing world."

At this time, the horse trainer Victor was doing a final check on Miss Alexandria to ensure that there would be no problems during the competition.

This fifty-year-old middle-aged man was once an excellent rider. After retiring due to injury, he switched careers and became a coach. He is well-known in River Valley Town and many local riders have asked him for help.

Victor was full of praise for Flame Joey's performance in the Karen Competition, which made Lin Feng feel more cordial.

Patricia was also busy on the sidelines. This guy never forgets to be funny and funny.

He kept talking to Miss Lishan, making the latter a little impatient.

But no matter where Miss Alexandra turns her head, she will always come face to face with Patricia's face covered with thick beard. This scene makes the tense atmosphere of the game a little more relaxed and hilarious.

Lin Feng missed the time when he rode a horse and galloped around the arena. He had a strong urge to participate in the competition, and Joey at home couldn't hold it in.

He knew full well that Joey belonged on the track, not in the stables eating grass and sleeping all day.
