God Level Farm

Halfway through the race, the Hong Kong Island Stars were only about one horse head ahead. Although it seems that the advantage is not obvious, in short-distance racing, this kind of advantage that is discernible to the naked eye is actually quite big.

However, accidents often happen in an instant.

Horse No. 4, who was running in second place, seemed to have some lack of stamina, and was gradually caught up by No. 2 horse behind him. The jockey of No. 4 horse tried his best and there was no way to do it - the horse itself was not very strong, and the back distance The acceleration ability is not good, he can only do nothing.

The jockey can only use his own experience to try to grab a favorable position.

Although the rules stipulate that other horses cannot be deliberately hindered or affected, the rules are often vague, and experienced riders can use anticipation and combine some small changes to occupy a favorable position.

The jockey of horse number 4 is a very experienced jockey.

He used his experience to successfully prevent the No. 2 horse from overtaking several times in a row, and he did it without a trace. Even the video playback could not determine that he violated the rules.

The jockey of the No. 2 horse is relatively young, and his anger gradually rose after suffering a secret loss.

In addition, the end is about to be reached, so in the third attempt to overtake, the tactics became a bit aggressive, although the No. 4 horse occupied a quite favorable position, using itself and the position of "Hong Kong Island Star" to card Position, so that the No. 2 horse could not complete the overtaking, but the jockey of the No. 2 horse still rushed up, hoping to squeeze into the narrow gap to complete the forcible overtaking.

The result of such recklessness was that the three horses collided.

"Hong Kong Island Star" has always been in the leading position from the start, so the jockey is also focused on running to the finish line.

Horse No. 2 first rubbed against Horse No. 4, and then hit the "Hong Kong Island Star".

"Hong Kong Island Star" suddenly lost its pace, and after two collisions, the No. 2 horse was unable to maintain its balance and fell down.

This fall, even brought down the "Star of Hong Kong Island".

Moreover, the No. 2 horse also smashed heavily on the hind legs of "Hong Kong Island Star".

A piece of people turned on their backs...

Although the horses at the back tried their best to avoid it, two horses were still unable to dodge and bumped into it. Naturally, the speed of the other horses was also greatly affected. On the contrary, horse No. 4 was only rubbed and suffered the least impact. Huge lead.

The jockey of Horse No. 4 was overjoyed and rushed across the finish line.

This time, there is no need for big screen playback, and it can be seen that the champion is the No. 4 horse.

But everyone was stunned by the accident just now, and no one cheered.

Guo Hongjiang was stunned all of a sudden, his mouth grew wide, and he stared at the field closely.

After a long while, he suddenly reacted, rushed out of the box and ran into the field.

Ma Xiong also frowned and said, "This is a bad thing... I hope everyone is fine..."

"Let's go take a look too!" Xia Ruofei said quickly.

"Walk!"

Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei also ran out of the box and chased after Guo Hongjiang.

Guo Hongjiang's concern for "Hong Kong Island Star" was obviously beyond Xia Ruofei's imagination. He ran fast in front of him, and when a staff member came up to him, he waved his hand and shouted, "Don't worry about me! Go and prepare for the rescue!"

The organizing committee of the event also urgently stopped the preparations for the next game. The medical team was dispatched urgently, and the staff in various costumes rushed into the arena.

Guo Hongjiang was really anxious. Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong were just stunned in the box, but then they just didn't catch up with him, and he disappeared without a trace.

Of course, this is also because Xia Ruofei was worried that Ma Xiong could not bear it, so he always took care of Ma Xiong's speed, otherwise ten Guo Hongjiang would not be able to run faster than Xia Ruofei.

The two were stopped by the staff when they came to the sidelines.

Guo Hongjiang is the owner of the "Hong Kong Island Star", and he is also a director of the Jockey Club. Naturally, it is unimpeded.

And although Ma Xiong is also a member of the Jockey Club,

But he didn't come several times a year, and the scene was so busy that it was normal for the staff not to recognize him.

Ma Xiong looked at Xia Ruofei helplessly and said, "Xia Sheng, let's wait here..."

Xia Ruofei said: "Mr. Ma, I don't know how the jockey is doing? I want to go in and see if I can help..."

Racing horses is even more dangerous than F1 racing.

Because the maximum speed of the participating horses can reach or even exceed 60 km/h, a purebred horse weighing 500 kilograms will have an instantaneous maximum kinetic energy of 89,000 joules under the condition of running at the maximum speed. Equivalent to the power of 20 M2 armor-piercing bullets!

Therefore, once there is a collision accident, casualties are not uncommon.

Ma Xiong knew Xia Ruofei's medical skills. He hesitated and said, "Wait for now! Xia Sheng, in fact, this kind of thing depends on the luck of the jockey. If the luck is not good, it will basically be on the spot..."

"Understood..." Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Then let's not make trouble, wait here, let's talk about the situation!"

"Okay!" Ma Xiong looked at the scene of the incident with some anxiety and nodded.

The two people didn't wait long. It is estimated that Guo Hongjiang realized that he had left Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei aside, so after about five or six minutes, Xia Ruofei and the two saw a staff member rushing over.

"Is it Ma Dong and Mr. Xia?" the staff member asked loudly from a distance.

"It's us!" Ma Xiong replied.

"I'm sorry, Guo Dong asked me to pick up the two!" The staff came up to greet the people who maintained the order, and then continued, "You two, please come with me!"

Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei glanced at each other, and quickly followed the staff into the pasture.

A total of 4 horses were involved in this accident. Among them, the No. 2 horse and the "Hong Kong Island Star" were in the most serious condition. The other two horses were considered to be affected by Chiyu.

Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei soon met Guo Hongjiang.

"Director Guo, how is the situation? Are you all right?" Ma Xiong asked quickly as soon as they met.

Guo Hongjiang's face was not very good-looking, he frowned and said: "I have been rushed to the hospital, and my luck is not very good. When I fell to the ground, I was smashed. The doctor judged that it may be internal bleeding, but the consciousness is still clear, and there should be no life Danger."

Ma Xiong looked at Xia Ruofei subconsciously.

After Xia Ruofei heard Guo Hongjiang say that the jockey should not be in danger, he shook his head without a trace.

Ma Xiong immediately understood, and did not mention Xia Ruofei's rescue.

Guo Hongjiang looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry! I originally wanted to invite you to have fun, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and it made you lose money..."

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly: "Guo Dong, it's already this time, what are you doing with that little money? It's just entertainment! I don't expect to make a fortune from this..."

Guo Hongjiang waved his hand and said, "Yes, yes, let's not mention this..."

Ma Xiong saw that Guo Hongjiang's mood was not very high, so he asked: "Guo Dong, is the situation of 'Hong Kong Island Star' not very good?"

A look of resentment appeared on Guo Hongjiang's face, and he said, "It's all to blame for that stunned young man! Harm others and harm yourself!"

After cursing the jockey of No. 2 horse, Guo Hongjiang said sadly: "The preliminary examination...it should be that the hind leg is broken... It was finally broken by the No. 2 horse!"

Xia Ruofei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it. He saw the scene in the box just now. The horses fell to the ground and a large amount of dust was raised. He thought that "Hong Kong Island Star" might be killed on the spot! Now it looks better than expected, except for a broken back leg.

But Xia Ruofei immediately felt that something was wrong.

Because he saw that Ma Xiong's face changed suddenly after hearing the result.

Ma Xiong murmured, "Why... how could it be so serious?"

Xia Ruofei looked at Ma Xiong, and then at Guo Hongjiang, who was full of frustration, and asked a little strangely: "Mr. Ma, if the 'Hong Kong Island Star' is only a broken hind leg, it shouldn't be life-threatening, right?"

Ma Xiong sighed when he heard the words, but before he could speak, a staff member hurried over and whispered a few words beside Guo Hongjiang.

Guo Hongjiang's face became even more gloomy, he nodded and said, "Got it!"

Then, Guo Hongjiang said to Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Xia, let's go together to send the 'Hong Kong Island Star' for the last ride!"

Ma Xiong nodded immediately and said, "Okay! We'll accompany you!"

Xia Ruofei was stunned when he heard it. He asked in surprise: "Guo Dong, what... what is the last ride? Isn't 'Hong Kong Island Star' just a broken back leg? What is this for?"

Ma Xiong looked at Guo Hongjiang, winked at Xia Ruofei, and said, "Xia Sheng, let's talk while walking..."

Here, Guo Hongjiang obviously had no intention of entertaining Ma Xiong and Xia Ruofei, and walked straight to the sidelines.

Ma Xiong also motioned for Xia Ruofei to follow quickly.

Xia Ruofei was confused, and asked as he walked, "Mr. Ma, what's the situation? What are we doing here?"

Ma Xiong sighed and said, "Xia Sheng, you probably don't know much about horse racing, so don't talk nonsense for a while, Guo Dong must be in a very bad mood now..."

"I definitely won't talk nonsense." Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly, "but what's going on? You have to explain it!"

Ma Xiong said: "This is our last trip to send the 'Hong Kong Island Star', and it will be euthanized immediately..."

Xia Ruofei was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help but cried out: "What? Euthanasia?"

Guo Hongjiang, who was walking in front, apparently also heard Xia Ruofei's words. His footsteps paused, and his back trembled obviously, but immediately continued to walk forward.

"Keep your voice down..." Ma Xiong said with a wry smile.

Xia Ruofei quickly lowered his voice and asked: "No... Mr. Ma, I really don't understand, isn't it just a broken back leg? Why should it be euthanized? Is it because it can't compete after being cured? But... ...but that's too cruel, isn't it?"

Ma Xiong said quickly: "Of course not! If it is really impossible to continue the competition due to injury, they will usually be retired in a decent manner, and then raised until they die of old age."

"Then why is this?" Xia Ruofei asked inexplicably.

As he walked forward, Ma Xiong explained in a low voice: "Xia Sheng, you just said that euthanizing a horse with a broken leg is too cruel. In fact, it is the opposite. This is the most humane way."

"I would like to hear the details." Xia Ruofei said.

He also realized that there might be some unavoidable difficulties in this, after all, he knew almost nothing about horse racing.

Sure enough, with Ma Xiong's patient explanation, Xia Ruofei finally understood the reason.

First of all, running is the nature of horses. A horse that cannot run is like a bird that cannot fly, and it is always in a very unpleasant state psychologically.

Of course, this is only a very small factor.

The point is that a horse with a broken leg suffers more physically than psychologically.

It takes 100 days for a broken muscle to move a bone, and the recovery from a fracture is a very long process. If it is a small pet such as a kitten and a dog, if the affected area is fixed well, it is still possible to recover.

But for horses, this is simply an impossible task.

Horses are huge and powerful, and humans can't hold them at all. Therefore, if the treatment persists, the horse will only fracture the broken leg again before it heals.

This process causes them great pain, both physical and psychological.

Amputation is also not feasible.

The horse's own weight is too heavy, and the structure of the horse's legs is also very precise, so it can bear so much weight on the thin horse's legs.

If you amputate one leg and stand with only three feet for a long time, not only will the broken leg not be healed, but the good leg will also be tossed and damaged due to the long-term compensatory effect.

All in all, if a horse breaks a leg, it is basically impossible to recover, and if you insist on treatment, it will only bring long pains, and finally die even worse.

Therefore, the most humane way is to euthanize it.

This is also the best solution that has been summed up over the years. Otherwise, with Guo Hongjiang's net worth, if there is a chance, how could he be willing to see his beloved horse die like this?

After Xia Ruofei understood the reason, when he looked at Guo Hongjiang's back, he understood his mood at this time.

Xia Ruofei's mind flashed the photos of "Hong Kong Island Star" winning various championships that he saw in the box just now, and the elegant demeanor after the opening.

Even if it was only the first day I knew "Hong Kong Island Star", when I learned that such an excellent racing horse would soon be euthanized, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

However, Guo Hongjiang is the owner of "Hong Kong Island Star", and he bought it back when "Hong Kong Island Star" was still a pony. After thinking about it for so long, the relationship must be quite deep.

One can imagine how depressed Guo Hongjiang was at the moment.

Xia Ruofei thought about it, and a thought suddenly popped up - conventional medical methods can't cure "Hong Kong Island Star", but I can!
