Seeing Chen Mingren introducing his pony, Xu Nanxing decided to go find him later to ask him in detail how to buy a high-quality horse!
Before Xu Nanxing could ask, someone else asked impatiently.
"Chen Mingren, you have so many horses! Where did you buy them from? Is there a place in the United States that sells horses?"
The person who asked the question was Li Meizhen. In fact, her own family background was relatively shallow. Her father was a self-made man who worked hard to build up the family business today. He had no intention of engaging in such a money-burning activity as raising horses!
The Qiao family did have a horse farm, which was owned by a descendant of one of the Qiao uncles. She knew very little about it, only that most of the horses in Hong Kong were imported from foreign countries, and Li Meizhen was not very clear about anything else.
She was just attracted by the pony in front of her, and then she began to think about owning a horse, so she asked the question.
Seeing that the person asking the question was Qiao Meiyuan's cousin, Chen Mingren patiently replied, "There are many horse farms in the United States. If you just want to buy a pony, any of them will do. We also have ordinary horses at home. You can go and see them. I'll find a horse trainer who can explain it to you in detail. We will definitely not rip you off when selling horses to you."
"The American West was also an important place for horse trading. You've probably heard of cowboys! But there are no gold miners there anymore, and cowboys have become history. Horses in the West are now mainly used for performances!"
"You can buy regular horses at these places, it depends on your preference. If you want to buy a famous horse to participate in horse racing, then you can pay attention to the Keeneland September Yearling Sale every September. This auction is a very famous yearling horse auction that was first held in the 1930s, and it has a history of 40 years now."
"It brings together what is practically the world's best yearlings suitable for racing. Almost all of the horses being auctioned are purebred, valuable horses, and all have official certificates. That's why many horse lovers attend every year! If you're interested, you can go and participate!"
"Actually, my 'Sparkle' is also eligible to participate in this auction, but I can't bear to part with it. I'm counting on it to win a championship for me!"
Chen Mingren told everything he knew. He saw that some of these people really had the ability to buy horses, and they also seemed to be interested in raising horses, so he tried to describe the situation of horse trading in the United States in great detail.
Is there a Keeneland Yearling Sale in September in the United States?
It seems that horses in the United States have formed a complete industrial chain!
Xu Nanxing also became interested in this auction.
Will it be September?
Okay!
I’ll come back to the United States when the time comes!
Anyway, the dollars in her hand are more than enough to buy a horse!
Others also became interested in American horse racing culture. Although they might not be able to afford it, they wanted to learn more about it and started asking questions:
"Chen Mingren, your family also runs a horse farm! I heard there are many horse racing competitions in the United States. Will your horses also participate in the competitions?"
"Yes! Has your family participated in horse racing in previous years? Aren't there many such competitions? Are there big prizes for such competitions?"
"Yeah, yeah! Is it possible for a championship horse to be featured in your local newspaper? And as the horse's owner, will you also be featured in the newspaper along with the horse?"
"What's the point of being published in the newspaper? Maybe I'll even be interviewed by a TV station and appear on TV?"
"Really?! The US takes horse racing so seriously! Hong Kong also has horse racing. I remember the prize money for each race was only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!"
"No! I remember last year there was a competition with a prize of several million Hong Kong dollars!"
"Is this true? Are the prizes for every game this high?"
"I'm not sure, maybe that game is more important!"
…
Hong Kong's local horse racing competitions are not large-scale because there are no participants from other countries and regions. Their influence is limited to Hong Kong, so the prize money for such competitions is not high.
It was not until the late 1980s that Hong Kong began to hold international invitational tournaments, inviting some Asian countries to participate, and gradually made Hong Kong horse racing an international competition.
Its influence and the amount of bonus will increase exponentially!
When it comes to horse racing, no country or region hosts it more grandly than the United States!
In the United States, more than 100,000 horse races are held every year, attracting 90 million spectators and generating $12 billion in ticket sales.
Not to mention the income from selling horse racing tickets, selling live TV rights, and the provision of horse racing-related jobs!
This is all the income from horse racing!
In addition to the United States, there are also countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Macau, which also hold many horse racing competitions throughout the year, but none of them can be compared with the scale of the United States!
