“It’s here.”

I waved at the entrance to Eagle Farm Racecourse.

Because he saw a group approaching from afar.

It was Yoohyeon, Jihyeon, and Jessica.

It’s like a 2 on 2 meeting.

“Have you waited long?”

“No, I’m just coming from work.”

I was the first to come here for the last inspection of the Dark Star.

“Everyone here, get your tickets.”

I handed out the ticket I got from Jane.

They were invited because there was a free ticket.

Upon entering, a green lawn spread out.

The course of the race that Dark Star participated in today was mainly tough (grass).

The racetrack is divided into Turf (grass) and Dirt (soil).

Turf is a traditional method as the beginning of modern horse racing that started in Europe, and it puts less burden on the legs of the racehorse.

If you play soccer on a soft grass field, there is a sense of cushioning, and even if you tackle as much as you like, it doesn’t hurt.

For reference, in Korea, just like school playgrounds are made of sand, racetracks are also sand tracks belonging to dirt roads.

This is because the maintenance cost is low, drainage is convenient even when it rains, and it is less affected by the weather than the mud road.

After all, it would be strange if the children, the protagonists of the country, were rolling on the sandy playground at school, and horses running on the grass.

“Is it true that you’re talking about oppa today?”

I smiled awkwardly at Jihyun’s question.

“It’s not entirely mine, I just have a small share.”

“Anyway, are you right?”

“That’s right.”

“what’s your name?”

Jihyun said while looking at the race guide pamphlet.

At that time, I turned my gaze without realizing it, and my eyes met with Jessica, and I quickly looked away.

Ooh, that’s a surprise. Why do you think it’s leaking?

“Dark Star. I belong to the John & Sarah Ranch.”

“Ah, here it is. But the odds of winning are the lowest?”

“Because of the pedigree. The other horses were descended from high-performance foreign horses, but they are not Dark Stars.”

Moreover, it is more like that because it is not a sprinter series.

Today is a sprint race.

“It would be great if we win instead.”

“Uh, yes. That’s right.

“Then I’ll have to bet on the Dark Star. Hoho.”

I’m having a conversation with Jihyun like that, and I get stabbed in the back of the head.

I immediately used clairvoyance.

The third ability to see through body parts rather than eyes.

When I looked through the back of the head, Jessica was staring at me with her mouth sticking out.

‘Um, don’t look. By the way, why are you so clingy?

As Jihyun kept asking questions, he became very tired.

But then, the phone rang in my arms.

“hello?”

-jin. Can you come to the waiting room for a moment?

it was chris

“What happen?”

-Darkstar got excited and banged his right front foot against the wall, so I wanted you to take a look.

“What did John say?”

– Looking at it, it says there are no problems. Still, I think it would be reassuring to have it checked.

“I’ll be there soon.”

Anyway, these racehorses are extremely sensitive.

I understand it because it was their debut, but it was especially true for Dark Star with dirty hair.

I apologized to the party and headed to the waiting room.

There, Sara, who must have been injured by Dark Star, was doing a massage.

“Did you say right forefoot?”

“yes.”

“John, can you step out for a second?”

I went into the foyer and looked through my clairvoyance.

“Hmm, no problem. It’s clean.”

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief at my words.

Then the sharp-looking white man in the next shack sarcastically said:

“Hey, John. Where’s Sarah going and an Asian like that is a veterinarian?”

“……Richard.”

John and Richard stared at each other and had a sparkly snowball fight.

“Chris. Who is that guy, what’s John like?”

It wasn’t John’s usual sad face.

“Richard Lago is the head assistant at Robinson Ranch. John and I have been rivals for a long time.”

According to Chris, at the time John was in his prime, in Queensland, the racehorse that Richard had trained was the only one he could match.

There was also skill, but the problem was Sarah.

The two were dating.

It is said that at that time, Sarah was not only a beauty, but also a financial resource that the industry recognized.

Even so, now she is a veterinarian, a dentist accident, and a horse breeding center as a doctor, she is a triple board.

it’s a tremendous skill.

How resentful would it be to lose such a woman to a rival?

“Richard, it’s none of your business.”

“I don’t care, I’m asking as a fellow in the industry. That Asian isn’t better than Sarah, so why didn’t she come? I think it’s important to see her pampering her.”

“Comrade? You’re kidding. And as I’ve said before, don’t put Sarah’s name in your mouth again. I warned you.”

Seeing the two of them, I asked Chris again.

“Why do you think John hates him more?”

“They keep talking to Sarah. And since the ranch’s finances aren’t good these days, she’s been outsourcing a lot. Turns out, I heard that a person named Richard used all his strength to entrust the job. Robinson’s Ranch in the neighborhood He’s pretty strong. From John’s point of view, I was very proud of myself at that time.”

A man’s pride must have been nothing.

It’s like it’s been helped by a guy who’s flirting with his wife.

It’s understandable that John has such a hostile attitude.

“Is that the opposite of this Dark Star?”

Richard suddenly looked at Chris.

He seemed to have changed the target because John was being harsh.

“That’s right.”

“Looking at the face-to-face list, the last name is Inham, are you from the Inham family?”

“you’re right.”

“Hey, didn’t the Inham family completely withdrew from this industry?”

“It’s a personal thing, regardless of the family.”

“Poo-hup, it was the hobby of a wealthy master.”

It’s very impressive to see them smirking and laughing.

It looked like it was sharp, so it didn’t look as lucky, but on the other hand, it suited him well.

“From a wealthy bachelor to an obsolete assistant to an oriental who doesn’t know where he came from. The combination is wonderful.

“Hey! Maniac!? Isn’t that a bit harsh!?”

I raised my voice to a man named Richard.

“Hey, Asians. Do you think there were one or two riders who became assholes because of those words? What do you know, yelling at Asian subjects!?”

Every word is Asian, Asian.

What’s with all these bastards who don’t behave like this?

“From what I’m saying, you must have seen the runaway train before?”

“Ha! Did you just see it? Our ranch was the first place that crazy word came from. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a villainous horse in my life. If Maju didn’t pay a lot of money to buy it, would it have been jerky sooner?”

“Ttttttt. He blames himself for his incompetence.”

“What does an Asian person like you know about my skills!?”

As Richard yelled, Chris rolled his eyes.

“Hey, did you say Richard?”

“……?”

“Jin is a person my grandfather cherishes. He’s still Asian. If he doesn’t follow his manners, he’ll get a big nose injury. Just because Inham withdrew from this industry doesn’t mean his influence isn’t very low. Behave.”

“……”

Richard shut his mouth firmly at Chris’ soft warning.

Even Chris, who was quiet, is angry, so his charisma is no joke.

“Chris, be patient. You just have to show the results anyway. And you.”

“……?”

“Even if you look at that horse, not the runaway train, you look like you’re not good at it.”

I said with the blue eyes hidden behind my bangs.

“What do you mean?”

“Looking at the expected dividend, your horse has the highest chance of winning, right?”

“Of course. This Magnum Bomber has been the best sprinter for three generations.”

“Only the bloodline? If that alone could increase the odds of winning, would you be able to do both dogs and cows?”

“I am the chief assistant at Robinson Ranch, the best in Brisbane! He is the one I have been training and managing for a year with all my heart. Considering that today’s course is a 5 furlong (1000m) tough track, no one of the runners You won’t be able to run in front of Magnum Bomber!”

As the saying goes, today’s race is a short course.

Moreover, it is mostly grass, which is the best condition for speed.

Geographically, it can be said that it is most ideal for the sprinter series.

But that will be the case when the horse’s condition is normal.

“I guarantee you. Magnum Bomber will definitely come last.”

“What? What if I’m wrong!?”

“I’ll bet $100,000 on Darkstar in a single win. As a bonus, if Magnum Bomber doesn’t finish last, I’ll personally give you $100,000 personally. If I’m right, you politely apologize to us. How about it?”

“Just apologize!? joy! I’ll bet a hundred thousand dollars on Magnum Bomber, so let’s see who wins.”

I don’t say I will give you a hundred thousand dollars personally.

“It’s a bet. huh”

I’ll have to be content with that person blowing 100 million.

I was a little surprised that I could bet on my own horse even though I was a teaching assistant.

Because I heard that in Korea, officials like Mazu and teaching assistants cannot buy betting tickets.

As it is classified as a speculative gambling, dirty back transactions such as match-fixing are frequently detected.

However, Australia’s perception of horse racing is completely different from that of Korea.

Among the sports industry, it is the second most popular after rugby, and when the Melbourne Cup, the most famous tournament, is held, everyone puts down their hands and takes the betting ticket.

Popular horses also issue commemorative coins and stamps, and in the case of Phar Lap, the most famous racehorse in history, its body is stuffed and kept at the Melbourne Museum, and its heart is kept at the Canberra Museum.

To the extent that the state government even has a horse racing minister.

crazy shit

In Korea, the president of the Korean Horse Association is the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Minister of Strategy and Finance, or something like that.

Even if they try to fix the match, it just goes to the goal.

“You’d better not regret it later!”

Richard took Magnum Bomber’s reins and left the barn.

Because the racetrack agent had informed me that it was his turn to go to Paddock.

Paddok.

It is a kind of demonstration where the runners are shown to the audience before the race.

This is meant to help predict the winning horse by looking at gait and health.

“The next turn will be us, so get ready soon, right?”

At my words, John and his assistants began to prepare.

And Chris asked with a worried face.

“Jin, a hundred thousand dollars isn’t a lot of money to you, but is Magnum Bomber really going to be last? Is there something wrong with it?”

“Hahaha, if Dark Star wins, he’ll earn tenfold, but if Magnum Bomber doesn’t come last, there’s no problem, right?”

“I’m asking because I’m ranting like that, though. You said it as if you were going to be last. If Jean’s prediction is wrong, Richard will ignore him every time he meets him in the next race.”

“I would.”

I raised one corner of my mouth and continued speaking.

“Kris.”

“yes.”

“Trust me as I have always been.”

“……!”

“Honestly, I don’t even know if Dark Star will win or not. But…”

After a brief pause, he spoke slowly and confidently.

“Magnum Bomber will definitely be last.”
