Chapter 0513 What a coincidence
Today, I originally planned to take my wife out for a relaxing rest. Little Marie mentioned going to see the horse racing, so she set the location on the racecourse.
Santa Anita Park in Los Angeles is northeast of downtown, close to Pasadena.
This is a well-known thoroughbred racecourse in Los Angeles and even California. Before the New Year, excellent jockeys and thoroughbreds will be found from other countries to compete and hold several highly anticipated large-scale competitions.
When we arrived at the racetrack, it was around 9 o'clock. We thought there would be not many people on the scene, but we didn't expect that the racetrack was crowded with people sitting in the stands.
"Find a suitable place." Because the two of them were traveling together, Lu Qiang was replaced by those who followed him. Li Zitao ordered him and walked to the fence with his wife.
"Look, No. 4 is so fast, Lipizama from Austria." Little Marie pointed at the fence and overtook the No. 4 jockey who overtook from the outside excitedly.
Lipiza horse, the most popular breed in the arena, has a beautiful and noble temperament, brave character and gentle temper. Equestrian enthusiasts call it a combination of strength and beauty.
"Little Mary, pay attention to your image." Mary walked to the fence and said in a heavy tone.
"Yes, I know." Little Mari immediately put away her unrestrained smile and showed her gentle and elegant temperament, making Yanyan who saw her next to her disdainful lips.
As long as she is outside or there is an outsider present, Mary pays special attention to her words and deeds, and she will never show any signs of losing her composure.
Little Mari's face-changing game is very interesting, and Lu Qiang also found a suitable position in the central stand.
"Sir, ma'am, the next game is about to begin. Do you need to place a bet?" As soon as I came to the stands, someone from the horse farm came to ask.
"Information for horse racing." Hearing his inquiry, the other party handed over a piece of paper that recorded the origin, bloodline, details of the jockey and the honors he had received.
However, Li Zitao believed in what he saw with his own eyes. He stood up and looked at the direction of the horse railing and quickly found the target. Little Mari and his wife were still discussing which one to choose.
"Does uncle have a goal?" Yan Yangui rolled his eyes cleverly and asked him quietly.
"Yeah, No. 9." Nodded and said to the staff: "Its odds?"
"1:3.6...Sir, it is the first time to participate in the competition, in terms of experience." The staff seemed to want to persuade the horse racing and jockey who were playing for the first time would inevitably be nervous, which would affect the cooperation between the two, and it did not come from the famous horse farm.
"Is that true?" Li Zitao smiled and pulled out the check: "10,000 US dollars."
"Wow... do you want to get so much?" Little Marie immediately raised her head and looked at the No. 9 he chose with interest.
"It doesn't look very good!" Seeing that the horse looked nothing special, Little Marie lowered her head and looked at it with excitement, "I'll choose No. 2, uh... 1,000 US dollars, where are you?"
"Yanyan, don't you choose?" Mary didn't answer and looked up at Huang Yanyan.
"No. 9, $500." Yan Yan said bluntly.
"I will also choose No. 9, $5,000." Mary smiled and handed the order to the staff.
"Hey, have you agreed on it? Why do you choose No. 9?" Seeing that everyone chose the same choice, Little Marie asked a little angrily.
"I believe in uncle." Yan Yan turned her eyes to the horse railing casually.
"Hehe, I believe in my husband's eyes." Mary chuckled, making Little Mary even more unhappy.
Where did that independent and independent sister go? Is it so scary to get pregnant?
"It's going to start." Li Zitao said and stood up, looking at the direction of the horse railing. This was his first time to participate in a horse racing, which was quite interesting.
Bang.
The moment the gunfire sounded, the horse bar opened, the jockeys clamped their legs, the horse raced out of the bar like a storm, and ran forward with lightning.
"It's out of the gate, No. 3 takes the lead, followed by...No. 9, No. 9, this is its first time on the court, it has surpassed, No. 9, it's over, it's like flying," the live commentator shouted out the audience's hearts.
As soon as the No. 9 was released, it showed amazing explosive power and jumped into second place in an instant. Then, under the shocking eyes of countless people, he took the lead and won the first place without any suspense.
"Wow" the scene was in an uproar, which was really surprising.
At the same time, they also remembered the jockey, and this horse farm that was unfamiliar with the first appearance, and some merchants were already making up for it.
For professional horse farms that train horse racing, there is no easier way to become famous than winning a race.
"How is that possible?" Little Mary's eyes flashed, and she suddenly raised her head and said, "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing her question, Yanyan's mouth showed a hint of pride. Mary covered her smirk and looked at her husband and said, "That's the horse racing on our own horse farm."
Little Mari understood on the spot, and glared at Li Zitao with her hands on her hips.
"You didn't ask! Besides, I'm not sure if it will really win, what if I lose money?" Li Zitao's explanation was insincere.
"I won't trust you anymore, don't try to get rid of me next time." Little Mary looked elsewhere with a proud look, "I'm angry, I can't coax it."
He shook his head with a smile. Li Zitao asked someone to find the jockey and gave him a 'dividend of $1,000.' The jockey was moved and his eyes were almost bursting out.
"Do it well." Li Zitao said patting his shoulder.
The jockey and horse racing are both from Texas and were sent after training at Asa Ranch. I believe the old man, White, won a lot of money in the previous game.
However, he did not come himself, only the person in charge of the horse farm followed him. After the other party came up and said hello, Li Zitao asked them to go back first.
Wister is still waiting for their good news. At the celebration banquet at the horse farm, this young protagonist and his partner who brought him victory must not be missing.
"Sir, this is your check..." In a few minutes, 10,000 yuan became 35,500 yuan, and the horse farm took out a handling fee of 500 yuan, which was terrible.
After handing the checks to Mary and Yanyan, only Little Mary sat pitifully, with empty hands and no gains.
"I don't care, you have to compensate me." Little Marie said, raising her head proudly and hummed like a willful princess.
"Yes, my little princess, do you like that one?" He bent down and bowed, and the few people laughed and argued for a long time, and finally chose the one that Li Zitao chose.
"I chose it casually. Don't blame me if I lose." Li Zitao said as he signed another six-digit check, and the staff wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
