The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 166 165. Return of the King

"I have a hunch that this guy is going to go crazy today," Patricia said.

This is exactly what Lin Feng wants to say, and he has evidence.

The horses that will compete later are now warming up in the field, and Lin Feng can sense emotions. When Joey paces around the field, other horses will become inexplicably agitated, as if they are facing an enemy.

Even the dark horse of the Otto family is no exception.

The same situation happened in the Karen Competition before, but there was still the eye of the storm at that time, and Joey's aura was not outstanding.

On the Billings racecourse, he became the boss here.

Just like an ordinary player playing face to face with Michael Jordan, the powerful sense of oppression brought by the God of Basketball will make people feel scared.

Because of this, Lin Feng felt that today's game would be unexpected.

Just now in the tavern, I learned from Julio that the game was broadcast, which meant that parents as far away as Riverdale Town could watch the game on the TV station.

He immediately called home and called David and Charlie to see Jasmine and Joey with their own eyes.

The electronic screen at the venue scrolled and played the information and past results of each horse, which made people feel quite professional.

These are all prepared for gamblers. No game can be divorced from the gambling industry, and it is also one of the important sources of income for the racecourse.

The Karen Competition is a private competition, and the results are not recognized, so Joey appeared in the arena as a "new horse" with an empty resume column and unknown bloodline.

It had always existed as a riding horse, and no one paid attention to its bloodline source, and there was no way to check it.

Miss Alexandra is a queen from a famous family, and the spectators placed bets on her out of trust in Sonic Cat.

However, those "fans" of Jasmine suddenly discovered that she had changed horses, and there was almost no information. Even the most crazy gambler would raise a question mark.

Some people even think that this is a conspiracy to facilitate gambling fraud.

Of course, the horses participating in this kind of competition basically have more losses than wins in their resumes, otherwise they would not appear here.

Julio said that their horse "Black Knight" will directly participate in the G2 competition next month. "Eye of the Storm" is preparing for the star-studded Trovas Championship in New York State. Last year's American Triple Crown winners are all present.

At that time, Lin Feng joked that the eye of the storm worth five million was lost to Joey, and there was definitely no suspense in this game.

Julio just smiled and said nothing. If it weren't for the presence of Hans, the guy's temper would probably go crazy on the spot.

After the Karen Competition, Lin Feng felt a change in the atmosphere. The popularity of "Flame Joey" slowly dropped, and people began to attribute the victory in that game to luck or other reasons.

Because "Eye of the Storm" later won five consecutive victories in G-level competitions, people found it hard to believe that such a horse would lose to a country riding horse. It must have been an accident.

Therefore, people began to believe that Joey was extremely lucky that day, and the name "Flame Joey" was gradually forgotten.

Today Joey is back on the track, and it wants to prove that its victory is not an accident, but inevitable.

Lin Feng could feel the powerful spiritual power in his heart, which was stronger than ever before.

The staff began to clean up the infield and called all riders back to the track, and the race began immediately.

Jasmine was still wearing a white jersey, and the red decoration on her chest was particularly eye-catching.

"Everyone, welcome to the Billings Racecourse. Today we will present you with a wonderful race!" The host's voice spread throughout the stadium through the radio, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

Lin Feng returned to the audience and locked his eyes on Joey on the track.

It could feel the powerful aura emanating from the horse, as if a ball of flame was burning.

Jasmine was riding on Joey's back, looking focused and calm.

With the gates wide open, the race begins!

The horses rushed out like arrows. Joey was slightly behind at the start, but Lin Feng was not worried. He knew that Joey had excellent late-range acceleration ability.

Sure enough, Joey started to power as he entered the corner.

It gradually surpassed the horses around it and charged towards the leading position.

Coming out of the first corner, he occupied the leading position, and then he rode away from the top.

The black knight followed closely behind, leaving the remaining horses far behind.

Jasmine's white riding clothes match Joey's brown skin, and the visual effect is great.

"Joy is born for the track. This is something Miss Alexandra cannot compare with, so your choice is right." Hans next to him said.

Lin Feng sat down again. Unless something unexpected happened, Joey would be unstoppable!

"Mr. Hans, I want to know about what happened between you and Julio. I heard Jasmine said that he lived in your house before?"

Hans nodded, "Julio's parents are my old friends. They died in a car accident when he was very young. I took Julio with me."

So that’s it, no wonder that guy treated Hans with respect.

Patricia also came over, drinking Coke and eating popcorn, enjoying herself very much.

Lin Feng continued to ask: "Later, Julio went to Otto Ranch. What happened?"

"Giulio is a very talented child. He has been keenly interested in horses since he was a child. But you also know that I am mainly a cattle herder here, and the breeding and maintenance of horses are not my expertise."

"So when the Otto family approached me and asked Giulio to become a rider for them, I thought it would be a great opportunity for Giulio."

"Of course, all this happened before the big flood in 09. Old John and I had not yet had a serious dispute. We would often drink and chat."

"The great flood in River Valley Town has changed a lot. It not only bankrupted a number of ranches, but also complicated the relationships between people."

When he said this, Old Hans stared at the field with deep eyes. Joey took the lead. There was still some distance but the victory was determined.

Patricia spread her hands, "Lin, did you hear that? My dad adopted him, but that guy went to Old John to fight against us."

Lin Feng thought for a while, "So, you and Julio are still childhood playmates."

"Matthew and Emile to be precise, they are about the same age."

Old Hans smiled meaningfully and said: "Julio has the right to choose his own life. I don't want him to live in guilt for me. I just want to fulfill the promise I made to his parents back then."

Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly felt familiar.

John Otto said something similar at the beginning. He helped him for the sake of his old friend Tom Frank.

The belief among the previous generations was much higher than that of today's young people. Keeping promises is the charm of the old cowboys.

On the field, Joey hit the line first with an absolute advantage!

The audience cheered, and Jasmine circled the field like a hero.

She already knows how to contain her emotions, because this is just the beginning.

Miss Alexandria had a hard time winning last week, and today Joey completely crushed seven other horses.

Including the "Black Knight" who was favored by Julio, but that horse was also very powerful, but it just met Joey.

If Joey had not participated, the second-place "Black Knight" would also have won the championship with a gap advantage. Unfortunately, they forgot to check the almanac when they went out today.
