after the awards ceremony.

Chris and Madduck Hunt looked at each other as if they had made a promise and smiled faintly.

“Chris, can we talk for a moment?”

“yes.”

The two moved after leaving Darkstar and Iskandal to assistant assistants.

They moved to the top of the stands overlooking Randwick Racecourse.

The place where people left was a suitable space for just the two of us to talk.

“Looks good? This is the cheapest seat, but it’s the best place to feel the heat of the racetrack. Remember?”

Madduck Hunt smiled as he looked at the open Randwick Racecourse.

The crowd had left, but the heat of the race still lingered in his eyes.

“Okay, how can I forget? It was a place like this when I first came to the racecourse with my uncle, who was sitting in the corner of the room.”

It was Chris who had to use VIP or disabled seats because he was in a wheelchair.

Then Madduk Hunt rode him on a horse and allowed him to watch the race from the highest seat in economy class.

“I still remember it clearly. The cheers and shouts of the crowd. The smell of the blowing wind. Even the beating of my heart. After watching the race in a place like this, I couldn’t sit still in the corner of the room anymore. That’s right.”

“It’s been quite some time, but I haven’t forgotten about it.”

“I remember everything that happened with you. You haven’t forgotten, have you?”

Chris shrugged off his fortune on an old promise.

“Of course. It was a man-to-man promise.”

“Then you’re coming back now.”

“Before that, you need to get permission.”

“Permission? Oh, at the Daily Ranch?”

“No. All you have to do is pay the resignation letter. I’m just hired. There’s no human interaction like before Inham. The Daily Stud is literally a stallion company, driven by the system.”

“Then who do you need to ask for permission?”

The answer to Chris’ question did not come from Madduk.

But, as if the timing was right, an answer came from behind.

“It’s me.”

“……!!”

Chris turned his wheelchair and looked as if he had seen a grim reaper.

“What’s with that expression? You didn’t think you could ever fool your grandmother, did you?”

“It’s not like that, but I didn’t expect you to find out so soon.

Chris muttered and turned to Madduck Hunt.

“Yeah, Chris. I told you.”

“I know best that you’re not such a light-hearted person. There must have been a reason, right?”

“Your grandfather knew everything beforehand and came to check on me.”

As Madduk smiled bitterly, Chris nodded and looked at Bobby.

“grandfather.”

“OK.”

“Did you enjoy the race?”

“Yeah, it’s been a while since my blood got hot.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

Looking at Chris smiling brightly, Bobby burst out laughing.

“Heh heh, aren’t you asking Grandpa’s permission?”

“There’s no need for that. The promise between you and me is between the two of us and has nothing to do with Grandpa.”

“The two of you cheated on me because I was tricked, but still?”

“It’s wrong to cheat. But it was also for my grandmother, so please forgive me.”

“Is that for Grace? So what this grandpa did wasn’t for your grandmother?”

“Absolutely.”

“Inham Stallion loses billions of dollars every year, and it ruins your grandmother’s honor. Why is it wrong to dispose of it?”

Chris opened his mouth calmly without changing the color of his face.

“Grandpa. In the future, if a company is to go on for a hundred or two hundred years, it must not pursue only profits. Inham Stallion was definitely a meaningful ranch that preserves the tradition of Australian native horses. And even if it is in a deficit right now, in the future, would have been in the interest of

“Hey, shouldn’t we just pursue profits? Companies that don’t make profits tend to go out of business and disappear. Do you think it’s because I only did good things to raise Inham to this position?”

“I learned that we shouldn’t forget the past, but we shouldn’t look at the future according to the framework of the past. Just because my grandfather’s inham was like that doesn’t mean that the future should be the same. A company that doesn’t change is bound to disappear.”

“Words are bubbling.”

“I can’t walk, I can’t run, but even my mouth has to fly. Hahaha.”

There was not a single dark sign on Chris’ face that shrugged and smiled.

“And you said your grandmother’s honor fell to the ground?”

“……”

“Maybe it was then, but over time, people’s perceptions changed when my grandfather disposed of the ranch. There was no one more passionate about breeding horses than my grandmother.”

“Heh, I don’t know until after the ship leaves.”

“Because you don’t know how precious it is when you have it. So, I won’t say that I will restore my grandmother’s honor by showing the excellence of native horses as a Dark Star. Although my grandmother passed away, she already has enough respect in the industry.”

Bobby put on a fedora hat and made a loud, clearing sound.

“Let’s talk about the past and don’t ask me one more thing.”

“yes.”

“Do you want to build a native Australian horse ranch like Grace? Do you want to achieve the triple crown in the United States beyond the Melbourne Cup?”

“Yes, I want to.”

“Why? It was your grandmother’s dream, so do you want it to come true instead?”

“As I said, it’s also a way for my grandfather to work his whole life in ham. And I also want Dark Star to rise to the top.”

“Um? I wish Darkstar would do that, not for yourself. You mean?”

“If it were just for myself, I wouldn’t have given the Dark Star stake to Jin. If the Dark Star could rise to the spot right away, I could give the rest of my stake. Runaway Train, Glorious, and Shooting Star. I just worked hard, so I want to make it come to fruition even through Dark Star.”

Bobby smiled happily and tapped Chris on the shoulder.

“Maduk, I hope you can help me in the future.”

“Yes, Bobby.”

“And Chris.”

“yes.”

“Like Joshua said, it doesn’t look like I’m just chasing my grandmother’s shadow. That’s what I was thinking from the beginning.”

“……”

“Maybe it’s because of the hard times I’ve been through with Dark Star.”

“……”

“From now on, Halabi will actively support you. Did you say you were there John?”

John took a step closer to Bobby’s question.

“I’ll donate $1 million to your ranch as soon as I get back. And I’ll be depositing $100,000 on a regular basis starting next month, so you know.”

“Thank you, Chairman.”

“Give me the results. If you do that, you will increase my donation even more.”

“I wonder if there is.”

John politely clasped his hands and grinned.

“And let’s reward you and the Dark Star for all the hard work you’ve done.”

“……?”

“Maduck.”

“Yes, Bobby.”

“Do you know where Glorias is?”

“I know. It’s still at the Daily Ranch.”

“A shooting star?”

“The Shooting Star was sent to the slaughterhouse the same year it was taken over to the Daily Ranch.”

“Is that so… I’m sorry.”

Bobby closed his eyes as if in mourning, bowed his head for a moment, and spoke again.

“Fortunately, Glorious is alive, so I’ll buy it back and give it back to you and Darkstar.”

“Hey, Grandpa…”

“I’m sorry. My grandmother died and I was so heartbroken that I couldn’t take care of you properly. Later, I vaguely realized that the disposition of the Inham Stallion was too hasty, but it was already irreversible, so even Grandpa couldn’t help it. Goa.”

“I know, because no one knows how much Grandpa thinks of Grandma.”

Chris smiled broadly with his wet eyes.

Bobby patted his grandson’s head with a happy face.

“You’ve grown so much, Chris.”

When the relationship between the grandchildren was over, I approached John.

“John, stop wandering around.”

“Hehehe, a rich person like you doesn’t know how I feel. It’s a million dollars in one lump sum. It’s 100,000 dollars a month. Maybe when Sarah hears this, she won’t be able to talk about money anymore.”

“So good?”

“Well, that’s fine. You shouldn’t get married. You’re going to die from being ripped off or nagging because you’re going to die. You can live alone with that much money.”

What would you say when Richard Jomasa of Robinson Ranch hears these words now?

I don’t know, but I think I’ll start with ‘Sun Orb’ at least.

“By the way, I have a question for you.”

“Huh? Something? Ask me anything. I think I can tell you anything today. Heh heh.”

“Is there Mr. Norris?”

“Bob? Why is that friend?”

“Wasn’t there really no first-class riders that could be saved?”

“Why are you asking that? Maybe it’s because Bob’s skills aren’t good enough?”

“Yeah. You know John, too, don’t you think?”

A freelancer is, in a word, a freelancer.

These predicates are also divided into two types.

Since he is superior to the contract jockey, even if he runs free, he is a top-class person who is flocking to him to ride in Korean.

And a third-rate who lacks skills to the point where he can’t even sign a contract with a ranch or Maju.

Bob Norris was the latter, as I saw it.

“First of all, to answer the question, none of the first-class free jockeys have a schedule.”

Are there no people like that?

“And it’s my judgment that rice is better than the rambunctious first-class.”

“Better than first-class? Why?”

“Those who think too much are not compatible with Dark Stars. Dark Stars are perfect for first-class or do-it-yourself third-class who can instantly judge the situation and respond instinctively. He’s in good shape and well-balanced, and he follows what he’s taught in jockey school.”

“That’s why I decided to tell Mr. Norris not to do anything.”

“That’s right. And not just that.”

“……?”

John said, tapping his temple with his index finger.

“I saw today’s game and was convinced. He has what it takes to be first-class. He’s decisively simple here.”

“Yeah? You have a simple brain, why? Aren’t riders supposed to be smart?”

“Being a jockey is proof that you are smarter than the average person. When I say simple, I don’t mean stupid.

“……?”

Are you good at choosing and focusing?

“I can’t do everything in a race. My stamina is dropping just by riding in a mousse position, and I have to control the horse as well as check other competitors. The situation is a crossroads, and decisions are short-lived, less than a second. “You have to get off on time to get an advantage. The jockey and the racehorse have to figure out what they can and can’t do to get the best out of them. It’s better to empty your brain than to mess around.”

“But does that mean that they have the qualities to be first-class?”

“It’s not as easy as you think for a jockey to empty his head. It’s half-natural. In a big competition called grand prize racing, how many jockeys do you think will do and trust their horses and entrust everything? Just like a jockey grows a horse. A horse can make a rider grow. The latter, however, requires the rider to trust the horse. Bob deserves to learn from the Darkstar.”

It seems that Bob Norris liked this more than I thought.

“Are you going to make an exclusive contract with Mr. Norris?”

“I think so, if only Chris agrees.”

You really do have some talent.

I see John trying to use him like that.

Bob Norris’ skill is questionable, but John’s skill is unquestionable.

“John. Speaking of riders, what type of rider would the Hellmaster be suitable for?”
