44 episodes. The lesson is that the more expensive it is, the more valuable it is.
“I made some money today, so that should be enough.”
I proudly took the ticket out of my pocket.
100,000 dollar single win!
Dark Star wins the first place, and a 100 million won betting ticket now costs 1 billion won.
It was a huge dividend of ten times.
“Hey, you bet 100,000 dollars on Darkstar? Your young friend has a lot of guts.”
“So how much?”
Well, I’m going to play this line.
It’s a pity that the other person is a muscular white guy.
“How much… I don’t want to sell right now, so why don’t you shake my heart with a good offer from a young friend?”
“Are you saying that Magnum Bomber has no intention of selling it even though his life as a racehorse is over?”
“It’s a pity, but what can we do? That’s what happened. If you use it as a roadster, you’ll find people who need a Stormbreaker bloodline.”
Stormbreakers are expensive, so you’re going to find Magnum Bomber as a chicken instead of a pheasant?
The fact that the value remains even without a championship seems to show how important the thoroughbred’s lineage is.
“Is it love for Magnum Bomber or is it because the investment is wasted?”
“Hmm, let’s call it both. I lobbied the officials to mate with Stormbreaker, spent a huge sum of $100,000 in breeding fees, and took Moma to and from Australia to and from the United States. After Magnum Bomber was born, He gave me the best conditions and I even watched my own training once a month.”
Tranus approached Magnum Bomber and stroked him.
Affectionate hands seemed to have no real heart.
“Why is your young friend buying a Magnum Bomber? As you said earlier, this guy can’t run anymore. Maybe he’s a veterinarian, trying to fix a fracture and sell it back?”
I denied it with a puzzled look.
“Absolutely not. They fix it and sell it back. You’re mistaken.”
“Then why?”
“Before the race, I didn’t stop it even though I knew it was a fracture. I had a problem with that person named Richard, and I stood by with the thought of ruining it because of that. I regret it now.”
“In the end, it turned out to be what you wanted. Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
I answered the question after scratching my head.
“I fell in love with Magnum Bomber who crossed the finish line until the very end. Seeing the audience applaud, I felt that I was missing out on something important. It’s because I didn’t see that important thing, and I want to take charge of Magnum Bomber so that I won’t forget it in the future.”
It may be pity, or it may be a childish feeling, but this was definitely my sincerity.
Tranus pondered for a while, then put on his sunglasses and said to Richard.
“After the competition, let Magnum Bomber move to my house.”
“Yes? To your house? Which villa would you like to move to?”
“It means moving to the home of the Gold Coast, not the villa.”
“Yes, yes. I see.”
Tranus looked at me and said.
“Come to my house in a week. I’ll think about it in the meantime.”
“Yes. Magnum Bomber seems to have met a good Maju. I don’t think it would be a pity if he couldn’t come to me.”
“I don’t intend to lower the price just because I’m flattering like that. The more expensive the lesson, the more valuable it is, so let young friends think about a good sale price. Ha ha ha ha.”
It certainly seems like an outstanding businessman, according to Bobby’s evaluation.
How can you make me want to own a racehorse with a broken leg?
“I’ll think about it too. Have a good time with Magnum Bomber for a week.”
If you want to have it, you should have it.
Because I made up my mind to do what I wanted to do and live.
Money is no longer an issue for me.
I’m willing to pay whatever it takes to get a Magnum Bomber.

“Yoosung oppa!!”
As soon as he returned to the place where the party was, Jihyun ran around with excitement.
“Why, why?”
“It was a hit, a hit!”
“What? Awesome?”
“Dark Star! I was talking to my brother, but you won! Hohoho.”
Oh, I said so.
I guess I was really walking.
“How long did you walk?”
“A thousand dollars!”
“What!? A thousand dollars?”
No matter how well you make money at Inham, you bet your entire weekly wage in one shot.
I don’t know if the distribution is large or the simple swelling.
However, Yoohyeon sneaked up to me and informed me in a whisper.
“I bet Jessica and I like to compete.”
“Competition?”
“At first, Jihyun bought a $100 betting ticket, so Jessica bought two hundred dollars, and then Jihyun bought three hundred dollars. It stopped at $1,000 because of it, but it was on the verge of making it to $10,000.”
If I had bought ten thousand dollars, I would have made a hundred thousand dollars, but let it be.
No, tell me now that the results are out.
In any case, Jihyun and Jessica had expressions that reminded them of how satisfied they were.
“Then both of you must have earned 10 million won? Wow, shouldn’t we just have to shoot one?”
“It’s thanks to you, so I’ll buy you a drink. Hohoho.”
When Jihyun showed off her aegyo, Jessica spoke coldly.
“Me too, oppa. Was George’s Paragon okay last time? There’s a better place than there, let’s go together.”
It’s a very sparkly nerve war.
I, in the middle, was worried that the relationship between the two best friends would break up because of me.
I was told to shoot a chin for nothing, but I was in a difficult situation.
Eventually I stopped them and interrupted them.
“I’m grateful for both of you, but I guess I’ll have to shoot. Haha.”
Everyone’s eyes widen as they hold the ticket and shake it.
“One, ten, one hundred, ten, ten thousand, hour, one hundred thousand dollars? One hundred million? Did you bet 100 million on Dark Star?”
“Um ha ha ha. Today I shoot. Eat whatever you want.”
When I said with a smirk, Yoohyeon muttered with a sullen face.
“I’ll bet on Dark Star…”
You didn’t really enjoy it just because you two women?
I said that there were still a lot of games left and that I would help with betting.
And I told Jihyun and Jessica not to buy any more betting tickets.
I made a million bucks, so that’s enough.
It’s difficult if you do more and fall deeply like Jinho and Hyunjeong who met at the casino in the past.
Anyway, horse racing is also a gamble.
-Before the match, the Preliminary Hall will be opened, so please refer to the spectators.
After the announcement came, we headed to Paddock.
There, the runners from the first horse were walking slowly on the circular track.
I looked closely with clairvoyance.
In fact, I learned a bit about how to see a horse from John, but there are too many things to consider.
The body and body shape are the basics, whether the forelimbs or hind legs are developed, whether the neck is used well when walking, whether the tail is adequately supported, whether the fur is shiny, etc.
They tell me to look at everything from head to toe, so it’s confusing no matter how you look at it.
So, your own way of seeing it.
It was also the second use of clairvoyance, the ability to catch abnormalities.
However, horses marked in red, such as Magnum Bomber, were not seen in these runners.
Maybe it’s because he’s a 3-year-old horse, not a new horse, and it’s a Listed Race.
‘Let’s check the words that are partially marked in orange.’
So I started to score my own.
But when I think back, it reminded me that in the case of Magnum Bomber, his willpower ran beyond his physical limits.
John also said that he was focusing on the psychological part of those words.
Moreover, the horseman’s skill cannot be left out.
Unlike the Shinma War, this time the rider’s career was very different.
In horse racing, there is a saying that if the horse is 7, the jockey is 3.
If you look at it this way, there are a lot of variables.
‘There are only two odd horses, is there any way to increase the odds?’
I kept my eyes on the runners, spinning the pen between my fingers.
Then, I suddenly remembered the story about the heart that I had heard from Chris.
The size of the heart that is inherited through the maternal line.
Wouldn’t it be advantageous if the heart was bigger?
‘Still, I don’t think it’s enough to pick a winner…’
As I was rummaging through the information papers, one sentence caught my eye.
That’s why this match became a Listed Race.
‘There is a reason why it was selected separately.’
The race level is divided into class competition, open competition, and metro level.
To put it simply, graduating from the no-class and seven-class competitions from Class 1 to 6 will qualify you to compete in the open competition or the Metroweight division.
Listed races were one of the open races.
It was written that this race was designed for 3-year-old horses who had just graduated from Class 6.
This year’s horse racing season started at the end of last month.
According to the records, the runners had played Class 6 in a month and participated in the second race today.
In other words, these runners did not graduate from all the class competitions last season and graduated from the class at the start of this season.
‘The key will be resilience.’
A one-month rest period is required after the race to fully recover, but these runners only rested for about two weeks.
It was clear that the management team had placed it this way on purpose.
Even if you were evaluated as a poor horse last year, if you have high resilience, it means that there is still room for growth in the future.
In order to survive in the fierce racing world, you have to overcome such an ordeal.
Life is going to be difficult if people or words fall behind, damn it.
Susu.
At that moment, there was a change in my clairvoyance, examining the horses.
Something that looked like mushroom spores was seen spreading all over the racehorses.
The large and small yellow lumps were distributed in different racehorses and were concentrated in areas that used a lot of muscle.
‘Is this… lactic acid?’
Can you see something like this!?
It was as if the first and second abilities were combined.
No one taught me, but I was convinced that those lumps were lactic acid, a sign of muscle fatigue.
Maybe it’s because Magnum Bomber reminded me of what’s important?
Enlightenment came suddenly, and I feel more enlightened than I was with Ferrari.
‘The more lumps, the higher the fatigue.’
By combining the information I found out with clairvoyance, I started to calculate my own winning horse.
Among the six running horses, there are no abnormalities, the concentration of lactic acid is low, and the size of the heart is as large as possible.
In addition to that, by adding basic information such as winning history that other people can know, the candidates were selected.
“Yoohyeon-ah, walk 3 and 5 in a winning streak.”
The winning streak is a betting method in which one of the first and second places is matched.
The probability is high, so it can be said that it is the most suitable bet for beginners.
“How much will you bet?”
“I’m sure it’s a hundred thousand dollars.”
I plan to bet on the 3rd and 5th, doubles.
Unlike the winning streak, the double win ceremony requires that both 1st and 2nd place match.
Therefore, although the odds are the lowest, it was the most preferred betting method.
The odds are low, but the odds are high. Isn’t life one room?
I was sure that there would be a winner out of the 3rd and 5th, and although I can’t say for sure, I also had expectations that those two might break the 1st or 2nd place.
what? Why did I say 100 million when I told Jihyun and Jessica not to do it?
This is not a water bath.
This is an experiment to check whether my calculation method is correct.
If you fail, you will pay the price of 100 million and learn a lesson.
Tranus did that.
The lesson is that the more expensive it is, the more valuable it is.
‘Gazah.’
