The young, flighty horse, throw his head up and leaped out of the box as soon as the gates opened. The colt looked muscular for his age. He galloped gracefully in second place showing off his coat in the morning light, as the other horse in front of them ahead by 4 horse lengths Fighter kicked his back legs up tossing his mane, “Come on boy” Zoe said to the colt, his ears flicked back in forth as he over took the leader. Fighter tensed up and fell back to second.
This was the colt’s first race and Zoe was determined to win. The colt became more relaxed as they went past the 2nd turn. He began to gallop easy taking bigger strides. As they came up to be even with the leading horse Zoe held Fighter there to get a good look at his appoint and the little colt began to gather speed. His 4 daggers beat hard against the dirt the colt surged forward and challenged the horse in the lead for 1st.

dance hero suddenly show ahead zooming ahead the croud gasped troy droped his whip and his foot fell out of the stirrup he hung on the side of the speeding stallion groping for his stirrup he got it and got his foot back in coming up looking behind his shoulder at zoe knowing this stallion could go faster than the colt see yahe flicked the whip on the stallions flank the stallion lept forewsrd cleaving the colt of any lead it could possibly have sweat foamed on the black stallions neck his breathing becoming ragged his pillars drumming into the earth as he tucked his haunched under his pushing foreward streaching his nose out seeing nothing but an empty track ahead and the winners post the stallion spurred ahead of the colt at an unatural speed it was obvious this stallions blood lines were exelent dance heros muscles burned as he tore up the track thundering down it every stride was pain as his back left hoof split from an old injury every stride on the leg he flicked up thick hot blood into the opponent with every stride he streched his head out farther and further eyes glinting with power and intelligence streaching out his legs forming an amazing 9 length lead between the colt and he the croud cheered as they watched possible history rikkie was standing in the side lines holding a stop watch amazement and shock hit her face at the time this stallion was aceiving dance heros muscles strained as he thundered down no horse could stand in his way exept his brother at this speed

They where left in the dust after Troy’s horse was 9 horse lengths in front of them the young colt was being hed back by Zoe and around the last turn Zoe whipped the colt, He throw his head up and execrated surging faster & faster. Zoe sat forward with firm hands on the rains. The colt could bet the horse in front of them. The colt sprinted wide away from the rail, they where making ground 7 horse lengths, 6,5,4,3! ,2 horse lengths. The colt was determined to win the race
Suddenly the colt got a burst of energy racing faster over the track. His hooves hit the ground; he was sweating on his neck. Fighter looked strong as his muscles tensed as they came head to head with the other horse. The colt galloped desperate to get ahead of the other stallion as it came down to the final 100meters the colt kicked up his back hooves and thrusted forward..

Unbelievable for the first time in St showjumpersville There is a tie for first the race officals have inspectedthe photo finish and the young colt ridden by Zoe Cox and the surging stallion ridden by Troy Jordan have finished nose to nose the riders have a choice to ride at the dirt race or accept the first and second place trophies that will be modified with a 100 dollar purse each
