Just FYI - I do work full time, have my own two horses who don't live with me to care for everyday (18km from me) and I try to have some sort of social life, so I'm not going to be on everyday.

_{"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2010 PURPLE ROSE STAKES!"

Today in the lineup we have Rush Hour, a four year old black filly in gate one. She sure looks feisty in the paddock, throwing a few bucks and kicks out at her handlers.

In gate two we have No Snow Angel, a four year old white colt. No Snow Angel seems pretty calm currently yet you can see some tension as he dances from side to side.

With only two entries for the race today we move on quickly to the gates. Rush Hour loads easily without much of a fuss while No Snow Angel kicks and fights but is then loaded into the gate.

"AND THEY'RE OFF!" Rush Hour easily takes a lead over No Snow Angel and sets good distance between the two racers. No Snow Angel struggles to keep up.

After a bit of running No Snow Angel catches up to Rush Hour and runs right behind the big filly. Rush Hour continues to hold the lead as they take the turn.

And they're coming around the turn! Here comes No Snow Angel! Rush Hour fights to keep her lead over the white colt as they come down the final stretch

The two are battling neck and neck! They're coming up to the finish line, using all their strength to get ahead of each other but to no avail. And they fly past the finish wire! Too close to call!

1ST No Snow Angel
2ND Rush Hour

(ooc; this was a really hard race to judge, both horses are really really good. please post below for feedback.)}
