Chapter 261 Starting with eight figures

Yan Fuguang showed up at the racecourse on time for the next two days, and Sun Eclipse gradually got used to being separated once a day.

The new horse race is scheduled to be the first race on the first day of the horse racing season. The local Horse Newspaper has already made detailed reports on the horses that will compete, and Eclipse is naturally among them.

Although new horses that have never competed will not be rated, the appearance and pedigree of each horse are public.

He was obviously born with a divine physique but had a significantly higher odds. Eclipse aroused the curiosity of many people even before it was publicly unveiled.

Horse racing culture has been integrated into almost every aspect of people's lives in Hong Kong City. When the horse racing season begins every year, the crowds of spectators flocking to the races and the total amount of betting rising year by year mean that horse racing has always been a thriving activity in Hong Kong City.

On the day of the eclipse competition, Yan Fuguang came to the racecourse early to meet it.

Probably the atmosphere on game day is indeed different, the air seems anxious, and the eclipse is also particularly exciting.

Before leaving, Yan Fuguang fed him a mint candy and patted it gently.

"I wish you success, come on!"

Sun Eclipse once again put her head on Yan Fuguang's shoulder and gave her a hug.

Watching Sun Eclipse enter the pre-game preparation venue, Yan Fuguang was about to leave when a standard Mandarin greeting made Yan Fuguang look back.

"Miss Yan, good afternoon!"

A young man and woman walked toward her. They were both dressed in formal attire and looked somewhat alike.

Jiang Chanzhi introduced their identities in a low voice. They were Xu Qihao, the second son of Hengsheng Real Estate, and his sister Xu Jiayin.

Yan Fuguang remembered Xu Qihao's name. He was the one who invited Ji Yingzhou to the Jockey Club two years ago. Xu Qihao was also an old acquaintance of Eclipse.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Xu, good afternoon!" Yan Fuguang smiled and nodded in greeting.

Seeing that Yan Fuguang knew him, Xu Qihao did not hide it. Obviously, he and Ji Yingzhou had a very good relationship.

"I thought that Yingzhou didn't care about his horses at all, but I didn't expect that he said that Miss Yan would come in person and admire her for a long time!"

Being able to contact Ji Yingzhou directly and knowing her relationship with Ji Yingzhou, the relationship between the two is at least not ordinary friends.

Xu Qihao is not a playboy, nor does he have the bad habits of those rich kids. Because he knows Yan Fuguang's identity, he deliberately brought his sister with him today, just not wanting to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Did Miss Yan come by herself? Why don't we come together?" Xu Jiayin took the initiative to invite.

Xu Jiayin is only nineteen years old this year. Even though she is one of the top eldest ladies in Hong Kong City, she is still very curious about Yan Fuguang.

"Yes, Miss Yan, let's come together. It's just me and my sister today, no outsiders." Xu Qihao also said.

He came today partly to watch the game and partly because he was curious about Ji Yingzhou's famous girlfriend.

Yan Fuguang did everything he could and nodded in agreement.

Knowing that Yan Fuguang was watching a horse race in Hong Kong for the first time, Xu Qihao took the initiative to introduce which horses were the main opponents of the eclipse.

"The youngest son of the third brother of the shipping king has a horse called 'Mr. Good Luck'. It is very good and has the lowest odds in the new Marseille."

Xu Qihao pointed to a light brown colt on the entry list and continued.

"If you look at the net worth alone, Mr. Good Luck is a bit more expensive than Eclipse. His maternal grandfather is the American Triple Crown Champion 'American Pharoah' and has been trained in the United States from birth to now. Whether it is experts or the media,

I’m very optimistic about its performance.”

Xu Jiayin curled her lips and said: "Zhao Liheng has been very proud of himself recently. He said that Mr. Lucky will definitely kill everyone. There has never been a formal competition, so he is very confident!"

Xu Qihao smiled: "Be considerate, Zhao Liheng only became a horse owner this year, so it's normal to be a little excited."

Speaking of Zhao Liheng, Xu Jiayin seemed to be very disdainful: "His eldest brother's horse 'Storm' is famous throughout Hong Kong. He has just been taken advantage of, and he doesn't know how to keep a low profile."

Afraid that Yan Fuguang would not know about Feng Feng's "glorious deeds", Xu Jiayin explained it jokingly.

Zhao Liheng's eldest brother Zhao Lijun spent a huge sum of 9 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a newborn horse five years ago and spent a lot of money to train it. The performance of the new horse race was also very good. Zhao Lijun had high hopes for the horse named Storm.

But for some reason, the Storm has only been able to perform normally in two or three out of ten games in their adult lives. The rest either stopped running after half the time, or were unwilling to even leave the gate.

You must know that Zhao Lijun invested at least more than 20 million yuan in the Storm over the past few years, but the performance of the Storm made him lose money.

As famous as he was at the beginning, he became so funny later. The storm caused Zhao Lijun to lose face. Even the tabloids ridiculed him as the most famous victim of the Jockey Club in the past ten years.

Xu Jiayin took out a betting slip and said enthusiastically: "Miss Yan, this is the first time I have bought a horse since I became an adult, and my hope is placed on Eclipse!"

Yan Fuguang looked at the betting slip. The amount was not big, only 100,000 yuan, which was no more than Xu Jiayin's pocket money for a week. But if he bought Sun Eclipse for 100,000 yuan and won alone, he would have to thank her for supporting him.

"Are you so optimistic about the solar eclipse?" Yan Fuguang asked her with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiayin took out another betting slip, pointed to Xu Qihao and said, "Who am I? My brother bought the eclipse for 1 million and won alone!"

The six zeros were eye-catching on the betting slip, and the order was issued just an hour ago. Yan Fuguang couldn't help but glance at Xu Qihao, making him feel embarrassed.

Xu Qihao coughed lightly and explained: "I have never seen Ji Yingzhou do a losing business in my life, so if I trust him once, if I lose, I will kill him severely when we meet next time!"

Yan Fuguang pursed his lips and smiled: "You should be the one to invite him next time we meet."

Obediently, Xu Qihao's eyes lit up: "Miss Yan is so confident about the solar eclipse?"

Winning alone means that you can only win if you finish first. There is no room for error. As long as you are not first, the brother and sister's more than one million will be wasted.

Yan Fuguang nodded. The Jockey Club's odds of 7.2 is nothing more than the belief that Sun Eclipse's character is unstable. As long as this problem can be solved, its odds will not exceed 2 at most, and Mr. Good Luck will not be able to dominate the pre-race predictions.

.

There was a screen in the private room showing real-time odds. The odds of the solar eclipse had been hovering around 7.1-7.3 before, but at this moment they suddenly dropped to 6.4.

There is still about a quarter of an hour before the betting deadline, and the sudden drop in odds means that a large amount of money has just entered the market and is optimistic about the solar eclipse.

Compared to adult horse races, not many people pay attention to new horse races. After all, they are new horses that have never participated in the race. There are no past results for reference, so the number of people betting heavily is far less than that of famous horses competing in races.

But now the odds have been reduced by more than ten percent, and the entry funds start at least eight figures.

At this time, Jiang Chanzhi knocked on the door and came in, handing a betting slip to Yan Fuguang.

Although they didn't see what was written on it, the Xu brothers and sisters looked at each other and suddenly had the same idea.
