Chapter 72 Chapter 72  Andrew remained calm , exining , 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 breedsck 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 contemted 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 tly .


    Enough ! Marksmanding voice silenced Bernard and Harvey immediately .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , please exin 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 difort in humans .


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


    Dr.


    Lloyd , youre amazing ! Lauren apuded enthusiastically .


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


    Mark joined in the apuse , 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  Chapter 72 Mark looked puzzled .


    What does gender have to do with winning or losing ? Andrew exined , 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 .
