Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 72 Chapter 72 +25 BONUS Andrew remained calm , explaining , Since youre curious , let me break it down for you in simpler terms .

For the first race , everyone underestimated the mixed breed horse because of its lower charging speed than purebreds .

Any casual racing fan would know that .

However , Mr.

Thatcher might have overlooked that while mixed breeds lack explosive power , they excel in endurance , which is their key advantage .

He waved his hand , gesturing toward the racetrack as he continued , This clubs track is nearly 50 meters longer than standard tracks .

That extra distance allowed the mixed breed to showcase its superior stamina , ultimately overtaking the faster but less enduring horses , which decided the race .

Mark contemplated this before asking , I see .

What about the second race ? Andrew replied , That was even more straightforward .

Your chosen horse had a hidden injury in its left front hoof , causing it to stumble and fall off the track .

Harvey scoffed .

That sounds like cheating .

How did you know about the injury when no one else did ? NO Andrew was unfazed by the crowds doubt .

Thats a rather foolish question .

Just because others missed it doesnt mean I had to miss it too .

You … Harvey choked on his words .

Bernard sneered .

So , youre suggesting you have better judgment than Mr.

Thatcher ? Those are your words , not mine , Andrew responded flatly .

Enough ! Marks commanding voice silenced Bernard and Harvey immediately .

Dr.

Lloyd , please explain how you spotted the horses condition , Mark asked with genuine interest .

The horse was anxiously stomping its hoof before the race , and anyone paying close attention could have noticed .

But mainly , as a doctor , Im trained to spot signs of illness or discomfort in humans .

The same principle applies to identifying injuries in horses , Andrew explained .

Dr.

Lloyd , youre amazing ! Lauren applauded enthusiastically .

Harveys group fell silent , unable to argue against Andrews professional expertise .

Mark joined in the applause , saying , Brilliant ! Not only do you have keen observation , but youre also applying medical knowledge to racing ! I dont mind losing to such expertise ! Andrew added , As for the final race , your thoroughbred should have won based on pedigree alone .

However , what you might have missed is that it was a stallion , while my pick was a mare , and that made all the difference .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 72 Mark looked puzzled .

What does gender have to do with winning or losing ? Andrew explained , Your thoroughbred may be worth a fortune with legendary speed , but its still an animal ruled by natural instincts .

Unfortunately , your stallion was in heat , making it easily distracted by mares .

My horse , though older , had one crucial advantage being a mare .

Im sure everyone can figure out what happened when she got close to an aroused stallion during the race .
