new boy, new girl

Sparky was the newest addition to Oak Hill Farm's racing stock. At six years old he was a mature and experienced racehorse. This year would probably be his last year on the track and Jaymee was determined to make it a good one before he retired to stud. Lumiera, was also a rather new addition to the string. She had raced a few times with Oak Hill already and placed a great third place in the most recent race. Sparky was looking to the upcoming June Dirt Stakes and Lily was looking to either the upcoming Green Cup or Seaspray Grade 5 race, however we were yet undecided. Coincidently both horses were dual surfaced which added an amazing advantage to Oak Hill's racing string. They were a lot more versatile than most race horses around. Sparky, a sprinter. Lily, a classic distance runner.

Lily tossed her head around and danced impatiently on the spot as Indey held her back before their workout. More maturely, Sparky stood square. Don’t be fooled, he was also very eager and had the heart required to race. But at six years old, he knew how things worked and what to do. He knew fighting would not get him anywhere any quicker and that the only way things worked was when he worked with his jokey. The two horses and jockeys made their way down the track in a forward going walk.
