Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 72

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 .

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 .
