SILENT FURY, IGNACIA, INDIAN DELIGHT

Astride the tall, strong young colt, Marissa felt on top of the world. He calmly and quietly walked along the turf, and she enjoyed it. Shortly they would be joined by three year olds Ignacia and Indian Delight. Then Silence would start getting all aggressive and fired up. He didn't like the company of other horses.. she guessed he would start to like the fillies sometime soon when the hormones kicked in. Hopefully it wouldn't affect his racing career, like it did for some colts. Bank on Greatness was a prime example: He was often more interested in chasing tail than heels.

After another five minutes or so, new filly Ignacia drew up alongside them, with Stella aboard. Silence's mood instantly changed, his walk turning into more of a stalk, his teeth showing slightly and his ears turning back. Indian Delight appeared moments later, only agitating Silence further. let's trot Sarah murmured from Indie's back, cueing the colt appropriately for the two beat pace. Silence instantly moved forward, not letting the other colt get a nose in front. Ignacia and Stella were shunted back; already, even at a slow pace the two front runner colts were ready to duel it out.

Stella steered Ignacia wide, moving to Indie's outside. Silence stayed on the rail, his speed increasing. After a few more minutes, the trio moved on into canter. Sarah held Indian Delight back slightly, as Silent Fury began to exhibit his aggression. No sense in anyone getting hurt; Indie was the better personality of the two. As they crept up the backstretch, the riders began to prepare to send their thoroughbreds into gallop. A quick four furlong breeze would keep them satisfied now until race day, where they would be on their toes once more.

Silence led the trio, with Indie on his flank and Ignacia brining up the rear, ready to swing out wide in the stretch.
