The horses lined up side by side.

Inside the venue, people stood up, and the inner side of the track was crowded with spectators, all standing on the grass, faces full of anticipation.

Drones captured aerial shots from the sky.

At this moment, viewers in the live stream began noticing something unusual.

[Look closely, none of these horses have saddles!]

[That’s right, they’re all bareback riding!]

[To win, you have to reduce weight. In the youth group, children often win because they are lighter!]

[This really tests horseback riding skills, doesn’t your butt get split into pieces?]

[That’s why it’s the Nadamu Festival, you have to compete in the best state.]

Viewers exclaimed repeatedly.

None of the horses were equipped with saddles or stirrups, only a rein connected to the front.

The riders were all riding bareback.

Not to mention how difficult it is to ride like this, potentially falling off the horse easily, it would be a great challenge just to complete the entire course.

Additionally, all participating horses were specially groomed, their bodies glowing faintly, with clean and soft manes, offering high aesthetic value.

The racecourse was a one-kilometer loop, totaling five laps.

All of them were representative competitors from various places, extremely strong.

Every rider had a number stuck on their back, with a total of twenty people, Jiang Feng was number 6.

Seeing Jiang Feng appear, netizens exclaimed one after another:

[I’m betting on number 6, the Dragon Pond Mouse!]

[Where can we bet? With such high traffic, nobody’s setting up a betting pool?]

[Betting pools outside are already closed, how can there be no pool, what gambler doesn’t play anything?]

[Here’s a tip, the odds for the venue owner winning the championship are only 1.5 to 1, meaning many people are betting on him to win!]

All the horses were ready.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The tourists fell silent for the moment, and many local herdsmen also stared intently at the horses.

Horse racing represents a spirit of the grassland—freedom, carefree, and bold.

Various media personnel aimed their cameras at the riders, especially Jiang Feng.

Then, the referee stepped onto the open space at the front and raised the flag high.

In an instant, the riders all tightened their reins.

Then, the referee swung the red flag down fiercely.

"Bang!"

Several riders swung their whips backward, prompting the horses to start galloping rapidly!

Without saddles and stirrups, riders must control their posture on horseback using their hips and legs.

Failing to control well will result in falling off.

Jiang Feng rode his horse forward, maintaining around a third or fourth place position, advancing all the way.

The distance between the horses was extremely close, close enough that an elbow from the rider could knock the adjacent rider off their horse.

Of course, this was strictly prohibited and despised by the grassland people.

It’s not a violent motorcycle game.

[It has begun!]

[Go, venue owner!]

[So thrilling!]

[Wow, I’m actually watching horse racing in a live stream!]

The on-site audience was even more excited.

The intensity of the competition surged forth, the sound of hooves, fierce competition, riders vying for the lead, determined to claim first place.

Jiang Feng remained in the leading pack, though his brows furrowed slightly.

In the live stream, an expert noticed something amiss.

[Long-distance runner Liu He]: [Not good, the venue owner is being strategically boxed in, breaking free is difficult, the opponents came prepared!]

With Liu He’s words, everyone was puzzled.

[What’s boxed in?]

[I just felt the venue owner’s position isn’t good, seems he can’t break through!]

Then Liu He added:

[In long-distance racing, there will be three to four people collaborating to provide cover for one, they wedge the enemy inside the circle, one in front, one on the right.]

[In this way, those being boxed in can’t break free at all!]

[Because the competition disallows excessive physical contact, breaking free requires—huge effort to alter one’s rhythm.]

[Such a race, even a slight change in rhythm could result in complete failure, it looks like a long-distance run, but in reality, danger lurks everywhere!]

Accompanied by Liu He’s explanation, viewers saw Jiang Feng indeed being boxed in on the inner side of the track.

Someone blocked him in front, someone blocked him on the right, it was difficult for him to rush out.

Unless he slowed down the horse and accelerated on the outer side.

However, for such a race, slowing down the horse and then accelerating would be very difficult to catch up again.

After all, everyone’s skills are top-notch; there can’t be a situation where one person overwhelmingly dominates.

Inside the venue, Jiang Feng also noticed this situation.

He wanted to break out, but the person beside him stuck close to him, accelerating to block his route out.

In this case, the person next to him would expend a lot of energy, reaching their limit by the fourth lap.

But stopping Jiang Feng would complete the task.

In the game, power dynamics matter.

On the racetrack, there are overt strategies.

The 5 km long-distance running god, Farah, has faced such treatment, but Farah had a buddy to protect him, easily breaking free from the encirclement to take the 5 km race championship.

Jiang Feng doesn’t have it so easy now.

The horses are galloping, and the riders’ attention is fully concentrated on riding, making it hard to spare any thoughts on strategy.

At this moment, the only option is to run forward, unceasingly forward, at the fastest speed possible.

Many have noticed Jiang Feng’s predicament.

The two leaders have already pulled 10 meters ahead of the others, forming the first echelon.

The second echelon is a cluster of seven or eight horses, making it difficult for anyone to break through.

It’s like a QQ Speed race, where the top one or two race freely, and those behind vie against each other, making it nearly impossible to catch up.

Jiang Feng knows that if he doesn’t catch up now, he won’t catch the two at the front.

He must break free quickly.

At the next turn, Jiang Feng’s turning speed is faster than those on the outside.

Seizing the opportunity, he lightly flicks the whip and pulls the reins to the right. Red Hare, receiving the command, accelerates to the right, blocking the position of the person on the right.

Then, Jiang Feng successfully breaks through from the outside.

This scene, thrilling and exciting, makes the online audience’s blood boil.

[Look, the master is breaking out!]

[Fast in the turn is true speed!]

[These horses are running so fast, it looks dangerous!]

[This is a pro!]

Jiang Feng bursts out from the side of the turn, and the surrounding riders look at him with shock and uncertainty.

After rounding the bend, it’s a straight path, and Jiang Feng immediately begins to accelerate.

This is the start of the final lap.

A horse running 5 kilometers is much faster than a human running 5 kilometers.

The human 5 km record is 12 minutes and 37 seconds, but a horse can complete it in just seven or eight minutes.

So, everything happens in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Feng is making a determined chase on the straightaway.

He quickly surpasses the second echelon, catching up to the two at the front.

[Wow! The master! So cool!]

[Awesome!]

In the live stream, countless fans cheer.

Gifts and special effects keep coming!

Everyone excitedly cheers for him.

At this moment, all eyes at the Nadamu Racecourse are on Jiang Feng.

People clench their fists, barely daring to breathe.

Once this straight is over, there’s the last big turn and the final straight.

This is the decisive moment.

At the bend, Red Hare has already pushed to its limit, but overtaking from the outside remains difficult as the two riders in front are very strong.

Jiang Feng is forced to maintain the innermost path in the turn.

He is so close to the horse in front that he could reach out and grab its tail.

The three horses quickly clear the bend, and Jiang Feng immediately moves to the outside straight.

With a flick of the whip, Red Hare starts to sprint at full speed!

The sound of hooves is like a drumbeat!

The red mane dances in the wind!

Its tail almost flies in the air.

At this moment, sunlight shines on Red Rabbit Horse, as if it was a red flame.

The three horses advance side by side, Red Hare’s speed continues to increase.

Its position steadily overtakes the two horses in front.

Finally, under the witness of everyone on-site and online, Red Hare successfully overtakes the first place, crossing the finish line with a half-length lead.

Immediately, a fierce cheer erupts at the racecourse.

The live stream’s comment section explodes, flooding like a torrential wave.

The prairie ranch owner has truly taken first at the Nadamu Festival horse race.

Jiang Feng’s name will echo throughout the grasslands!

Unlike his previous fame as a social media celebrity, this time he will earn respect and admiration from everyone on the prairie!

A gallant rider on horseback, such a person deserves adulation!

Jiang Feng slowly comes to a stop.

Dozens of media reporters run to his side, capturing images with their cameras.

He breathes evenly, drenched in sweat. Red Rabbit Horse also breathes heavily, yet remains poised.

At this moment, they are the true kings of the prairie.
