High Life

品 104 #8 2017 年 5 月 HIGH LIFE #8 May 2017 105 其赛驹在2014年艾普森德比和爱尔兰德比以及2015年考 菲尔德坚尼赛等G1一级赛事中折桂之外，俱乐部还在澳大利 亚、美国和欧洲的育马场有着商业运作。 也因此有了《品》在赛马展示场的难忘体验。就在云丝仙 子夺魁几小时后，又迎来另一个欢腾鼓舞的时刻 － 俱乐部旗下 赛驹俄国先锋辉煌取胜，张祖德先生及会员激情欢呼。比赛就 如同好莱坞电影剧本，这匹三岁小公马在最后50米发起冲刺， 最终以一个马鼻的“绝杀”马位胜出。 这种兴奋情绪毫无平息的迹象。一轮拥抱和击掌过后，马 主和练马师为颁奖仪式齐聚一堂，随后我们被引领到专属的冠 军区，举杯庆祝。这绝对是一个令《品》念念不忘的场面。 张祖德先生赛后称，“我将此视作对我们马主会员的回 馈。我们的尊贵会员都是商界翘楚，他们希望俱乐部能代表他 们去做这些事。当然，其中一些人比较低调，不愿出面，但俱 乐部可以成为一个推崇他们理念的渠道。我们非常乐意去尊重 这些想法和价值观。 “我们期待着继续这样的努力，因为这种尊尚生活方式， 在我看来，正是他们所追寻的。” “What we didn’t realise was just how many aspire to similar things and it didn’t take a lot of effort to get a similar group of people together to join.” The result is an elite club of successful businessmen and women whose collective wealth and desire to be part of something unique has helped CHC quickly grownot only into one of the world’s most prestigious business networks but also become a dominant player in the world’s racing scene. Aside from its horses having alreadywon the EpsomDerby and Irish Derby in 2014 as well as the 2015 Caulfield Guineas, it has interests in stud farms inAustralia, the US and Europe. All of which leads High Life back to the Parade Ring just a few hours after Winx’s victory to cheer on CHC’s big hope for the day, a three-year-old colt named Russian Revolution. As we stand back and watch Teo and his members excitedly cheer on their horse, the race plays out like a Hollywood movie script with Russian Revolution screaming home down the straight to win by a short neck.
