42 episodes. do you know nanda?
After all the demonstrations were over, the paddock was closed.
With the sound of the trumpeters, the runners carrying jockeys appeared all at once and headed to the ordering table.
By the way.
– Fu ha ha ha. You were very excited because it was your first match? Can you run from there?
-Why did you bring a horse that wasn’t properly trained?
Haha, Dark Star.
John and two of his assistants were clinging to each other and whining.
Even from a distance, it could be seen that he was running wildly.
“I’m so excited today, are you okay?”
I turned my head and asked Chris.
However, his expression didn’t seem too serious.
“Why are you so calm? Before your debut today, it’s very important to Chris.”
“No problem.”
“Is there any problem? Are you like that?”
very upset
I put it on the ordering table and push my butt, but I’m afraid that the instructors will kick it with my back foot.
“Dark Star is what I want to run now. If I describe my body as itchy, it would be perfect.”
“How do you know that?”
“Haha, I don’t know. That’s what John said. In fact, today’s race was a short-distance tough race, so Ruby Eye was nominated. He asked me to change it because he had enough fighting spirit to go out.”
Oh, I didn’t participate in a metropolitan level competition for a flashy division.
“Are you mentally prepared? Do you need words like that?”
“Horses are smart animals. They also have emotions and a desire to win. John thinks that psychological aspects are more important than physical conditions. That’s why I entrusted Dark Star to him.”
Chris said the old John wasn’t like this.
He was a more cool-headed and perfection-seeking instructor than the Richard I met earlier.
With such thorough training and management, he boasted of an outstanding career that was ranked among the top ten in Australia.
The problem was after retirement.
It is said that he had no choice but to send him to the slaughterhouse as he could not become a stallion horse because he could not build a sufficient career and could not be used as a road horse.
John felt that his harsh training had made it so, so he took the reins and went to the slaughterhouse, and after returning, he said that he had changed 180 degrees.
Instead of pursuing physical perfection, he came to pursue psychological perfection.
For that reason, even before an important competition, he did not attend because he was not ready for the horse, and participated in a trivial competition, which industry insiders said was a travesty.
As a result, he failed to perform for several years and was treated as obsolete.
“Isn’t it because the dark star’s temperament was dirty, so he entrusted it to John like that?”
As a human being, that guy needs a bit of character education.
One time, while driving a horseshoe, he bit off a funeral director’s clothes.
“…haha, there was a reason for that.”
Chris smiled awkwardly and looked at the Dark Star.
Still, he seemed impatient.
Words that were my grandmother’s dream.
The horse was almost sold, and he secretly raised him and trained him until he made his debut.
He had endured all those times with the Dark Star.
Boo woo woo woo.
With the start signal, the cage doors opened all at once.

-Hello everyone. This is Lewis Lane, the broadcaster of Eagle Farm Racecourse. Introducing Brisbane’s legendary jockey Jeremy, who will help you with the commentary.
-Hello, this is Jeremy Randall.
-Jeremy, this race is a no-class for unsuccessful horses, but this race is receiving the most attention. What do you think is the reason?
-yes. Because these runners will lead the next generation of Queensland in the future.
-Yes that’s right. There are plenty of dark horses of excellent bloodlines, but isn’t it because of the Magnum Bomber?
-I have high hopes because he comes from the Iron Guard that won the Melbourne Cup, and the Boomain Stormbreaker was the best sprinter to win the Kentucky Derby.
-Isn’t it Robinson, a prestigious family with a long history in Brisbane, who has inherited a bloodline that is said to be small in Australia and the United States? Rumors are spreading that the chief assistant put a lot of effort into it. As a jockey, how do you rate Robinson Ranch’s horses?
– Each of Robinson’s racehorses is near-perfect. The horses understand the rider’s intentions well and the reaction is immediate. It is difficult to raise the level to that level with any training. On the other hand, the downside is that it’s too perfect.
-Is being too perfect a disadvantage?
-Robinson’s trainers simulate where you’ll spurt, where you’ll slow down and where you’ll run before the race. For that reason, it is not an exaggeration to say that the rider has little discretion. In severe cases, the horse runs as trained, even if the rider does not give an order. Like Magnum Bomber, the newer the horse, the worse it gets.
– That’s almost like a programmed robot, right?
– Similar. As a result, it is slow to respond to emergencies.
– Does that mean it’s perfect if it’s not an accident?
– Haha, you could say that.
– Now, let’s talk about the other runners. How about the Dark Star with the highest winning payout? Why is it rated so low?
– Probably the biggest reason is that you don’t have the bloodline of the winning horse. And Dark Star is tall and tall at 1 meter 80. He’s a marathoner, not a sprinter by his physique. It’s suitable for long distances, not short distances. I don’t know why I made him participate in this race. There’s a long-distance race for marathon runners at Toowoomba in two weeks.
-According to the registration information, he originally registered for the race and then changed it. Does Mr. John, the rancher and chief assistant, have a solution?
-I do not know. I don’t know what the plan is, but I think it’s an obvious mistake.
– Oh, by the way, there is one noteworthy piece of information. Darkstar’s booma is said to be the runaway train. Didn’t it once rock the whole of Australia?
– Yes, I remember. If it was a runaway train, it would have captured people’s souls with just one overwhelming race. It was even said that it was the second coming of Parab. It was a bad word.
-The interesting thing here is that the first ranch the runaway train transferred to was Robinson. It has been rumored for a while that the runaway train was ruined because of Robinson’s inconsistent training. If that’s true, this race is going to be a very exciting match.
-It was literally just a rumor, and only the person involved, Robinson Ranch, will know the truth.
-That’s right. But if you know the background and watch the race, wouldn’t it be more interesting to see the race? Magnum Bomber with excellent pedigree and the highest probability of winning, and Dark Star with the lowest probability of winning against him. Who will be the one that will put an end to the feuds of the previous generation? just now! Start!

Chunkyung. woo woo woo.
There were two horses that kicked out the cage and ran to the lead.
A black horse, a dark star with a black mane and an ink-colored body.
And the reddish-brown, muscular Magnum Bomber.
From the outset, no one thought that the two were going to fight for the lead.
“What is that! A start like that with that body?”
Richard was astonished to see the Dark Star with his head side by side with Magnum Bomber.
“It’s a prejudice to say that heavyweight is slow. That Muhammad Ali was also heavyweight, heh.”
John grinned back to Richard.
“Ali is the fastest among heavyweights, but not at light weights! Are you saying that is a comparison!?”
“Funny. Ali’s footwork and hand speed were above the light weight. He’s just fast. Darkstar is the same.”
“Heh! He must have just jumped out excitedly. How long can you maintain that speed with that size and weight? There’s a limit to how far any horse can sustain explosive speed.”
Richard sarcastically but nervously grabbed the railing.
‘From the start, there was a word that could follow Magnum Bomber. That’s a big deal. My plan to win the championship by taking the lead and controlling my stamina went awry.’
Magnum Bomber is a horse with a great desire to win.
It was characterized by a strong self-esteem personality that did not tolerate running alongside or in front of him.
Interestingly, though, Magnum Bomber’s temperament was a chubby horse.
It is a horse that stores stamina in the early stages and delivers explosive speed in the second half.
However, before his debut, Richard chose good deeds because it was a short course of 1km.
It was to make a splendid declaration ceremony in the horse racing world.
A leading horse who scores a goal while keeping a forward lead leaves a strong impression.
Moreover, according to the information obtained, there were no words to follow Magnum Bomber’s start.
However, an unexpected Dark Star followed as a competitor.
It was self-evident that if they ran side by side, their desire to win would ignite, and if they did, they could easily destroy themselves.
No matter how much Magnum Bomber, he can’t sprint all 1km.
For now, I just hoped that the Dark Star would fall away quickly.
“Hey, Richard. You know what?”
John smiled and opened his mouth.
“Dark Star is not good. Just like his father, Runaway Train.”
“What!? That means…”
“Since the race for the lead, I never slow down until the middle of the race. And as you know, Dark Star is a marathon runner. It’s a short course, so will that speed lead to the finish line?”
“No way! Marathoner at that speed!?”
“Today is the day he wants to run like crazy. Heh.”
Richard looked at John with a face like that’s bullshit.
“Before the debut of the Runaway Train. It was the day he wanted to run, so he must have had such a crazy speed.
“What, what do you mean?”
“Darkstar hates whips. Probably the same goes for his father. No, he hates not only the whip, but when anything threatening touches his body. He even bit the butcher while driving a horseshoe. say.”
“…Are you trying to tell me that the runaway train broke because I whipped it so badly?”
“Yeah, because the whip is a big part of your upbringing. That’s probably the biggest reason why he’s gotten worse. If you don’t want to ruin other famous horses, you’d better realize that quickly. Well, I don’t know what to say now.”
“……”
Richard bit his molars and turned his gaze to Lacey.
Now, only the last 400m straight course remained.
Until then, Dark Star and Magnum Bomber were running side by side with no difference by 0.1 demons.
‘It’s the limit soon. Magnum Bomber can’t make it to the finish line like this…’
Richard knew he had lost.
But it was then.
-Hehehehehehehe!
Magnum Bomber stopped abruptly and stopped running.
It was not to slow down, but to stand in the spot.
“no!!”
Richard’s face turned white and a shout broke out.
When the horse became unable to run during the race, it meant serious problems such as fractures or ligament ruptures.
John looked at him and said softly.
“It looks like you lost the bet.”
“Hey, what the hell is that Asian man!? Did you know that Magnum Bomber would be like that!?”
John picked his ears at Richard’s vicious shouting.
“Do you know Nanda?”
