The scale of Herrifornes is smaller than that of Vic. Iceland, which is vast and sparsely populated, can only belong to the size of a village. At first, only a few pastures gathered here, and gradually someone moved in.

What changed the fate of the town was the emergence of racecourses. A racecourse could provide dozens of positions, so there was an increase in population.

There are more people coming to the town today, and the reason is naturally related to horse racing activities.

Chen Song sat in the car and ate bread and rested for a while, then called Finlick.

The track is easy to find, and there are always signs on the side of the road. The whole town relies on ranches and racecourses to manage it, so I wish everyone passing by the town knew the existence of the racecourse.

Finridge waved to him at the gate of the stadium, and the parking lot was just outside the door. Chen Song got out of the car and shook hands with him, and then visited the racetrack.

The name of the racecourse is Green Playground, because it was famous for being a flat playground as a school before the establishment of the racecourse. In addition, this is related to the person in charge of the construction of the racecourse. The person in charge is Green, who is an American, and the meaning of the name is "green".

There are too many open spaces in Iceland and there is no fertility, so the land in the wilderness is not valuable. All buildings are spread out like pancakes, which is very large but not tall. After all, you have to be wary of earthquakes.

The green playground covers an area of ​​more than ten hectares, with long tracks, short tracks and other competition venues, as well as stables and small bars, and the things are very complete.

After learning that he had never entered the racetrack before, Finridge took him to visit it.

Chen Song found that there were not many people in the stadium, and there were only a few scattered people in the vast stands, with a total of at most hundreds. You should know that this stadium can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

Finlick said frankly: "Green grassland is our favorite racetrack, but it is not the most popular. If you want to compare popularity, where can you compare with Reykjavik in the country?"

Horse racing is a sport that the national population likes. Today's event has attracted some media to come. Video poles were erected on the field, and a TV station broadcasts live here. The TV of the small bar is broadcasting related scenes.

There were a lot of people in the bar, and more than 30 people gathered in front of the bar and were drinking and joking, and there were more or less people sitting on other tables.

After Chen Song followed Finlick into the door, several people waved to them. Obviously, Finlick was very popular here.

Originally, he wanted to experience the horse racing bar culture in Iceland with great interest, but when he found that the bar was almost full of big men and several pairs of big men were catching each other, he was afraid.

He finally understood why Finridge was so popular here, and why so many people looked at him with interest because they were sexually interested in him.

Finridge was very good. He took Chen Song in and looked at him and then went out to continue shopping. Finally, he took him to a ticket machine that looked like an Atm machine: "Do you want to play a few bets? There are quite a lot of events today, and there are eighteen rounds of competitions in the heartbeat field."

The heartbeat field refers to the long-distance competition site, which is also the most eye-catching item in the Icelandic horse racing event.

Icelandic horses are small in size, with small strides and speeds that are not as good as those of European pureblood racers. What they are outstanding is their strength and endurance. Chen Song once underestimated them. In the past two days, he learned that Icelandic horses are more effective on the battlefield than tall horses.

In ancient wars, cavalry sprinting speed certainly required, but the greater requirement was the horse's gravity and endurance. Both of these Icelandic horses were excellent.

To date, many foreign horse farms buy Icelandic horses just to ride them to chase their own tall horses. Icelandic horses have outstanding endurance and can always catch up with those tall horses.

Because of its excellent endurance, Icelandic horses are naturally suitable for long-distance races. It just so happens that Iceland is very long in summer, and everyone needs to pass the time. In this way, long-distance races are attractive and gain the reputation of the heartbeat arena.

Chen Song didn't mind playing a few moves, but he didn't want to waste money, so he said, "Sorry, man, I don't know the characteristics of these horses yet, and I don't want to place bets blindly."

Finridge smiled and said, "If you can trust me, then I can recommend you a few horses, and I have confidence in them."

Chen Song nodded: "Okay."

He pointed at the machine screen with his finger and pointed: "Look at this horse, it is called Xiao Taohong, a four-and-a-half-year-old mare. He sprints very fast and is good at short-distance running. Last year, he won the silver medal in the Southern Country Race."

"And this horse, its name is Kuaiyin, yes, it is the same name as a superhero, because it is really fast and well-deserved. It performed well in the last horse racing festival and even once appeared on national television."

"Of course, I can't forget this little baby, Italian. Not only does it run fast, it is also good at dancing performances. If it doesn't participate in the competition today, it will definitely attend the opening performance."

Under the guidance of Finlick, Chen Song bet on several horses.

Nowadays, everyone is playing very small, just some qualifying events, lacking fairness and convincingness, so except for horse gambling fans, others will not take the opportunity to join in the fun.

Chen Song bought a total of 100,000 kroner orders, which was already a big deal. Someone came to buy them on the machine next to him, but they only bought a few kilograms.

With the documents printed by the machine, Chen Song followed Finlick to the last stop, the stable.

This is not a place that ordinary people can enter. In order to protect the horses and help them maintain their best condition, each stable is closed, and only the owners and staff of the horse racer can enter.

Chen Song entered Finridge's stable, and he said on the way that there were ten horses in today's event.

Just as they entered the stable, someone led a few horses into another door.

Finridge explained: "My guy took them to warm up just now."

Chen Song looked at the beautiful pony with suspicion, he looked a little familiar. It seemed like he had seen them on the screen just now?

With suspicion, he pointed at the horses one by one and asked, "Aren't this Xiao Taohong, Kuaiyin and Italian?"

Finridge grinned: "That's right, they are."

Chen Song understood that all this guy gave him his horse!

The routine was always hard to defend against. He knew that he had been tied to Finridge's chariot and asked, "Do you have confidence in the game? What is your goal?"

Finridge solemnly raised his head and said, "I am full of confidence and have only one goal. Like my grandfather, father and others, I will win the Green Cup of Horse Racing Festival!"

The Green Cup is the most important trophy in the event. A green crystal cup symbolizes the Icelandic people's desire for green and respect for green grass. It is not worthwhile, but it represents its position in the horse racing industry.

Chen Song immediately felt awe: "So you are from a horse racing family. How many green cups do you have in your family?"

"Uh, not one."

"Didn't you say that your goal is to win the Green Cup like your grandpa and your father?"

"What I said is that my goal is the same as my grandfather and my father's goal. Take the green cup, please pay attention to the sentence!"
