Racing Roleplay

Today is an interesting race between two blood brothers, one that is sure to keep us all on the edge of our seat today...And here they come from the back paddocks onto the pristine dirt track. The race for today is ten furlongs and will test both contenders today. The sun is shinning and the conditions are ideal.

There they go, they're loading easily into the gate. Impressario seems to be a bit edgy today and his jockey has to encourage him a bit to load without making a scene. Bank On Greatness loads soon after and moves like butter into his slot. The colts seem to be sizing each other, but their jockeys each bring them back to the race at hand.

Silence has fallen over the crowd as we wait for the gates to release. The tension and anticipation is thick as expectations for this race rise. And they're OFF!

Impressario makes a quick break and immediately takes the lead , but Bank On Greatness is right on his heels. The first 5 furlongs follow in this fashion, with Impressario leading and Bank On Greatness stalking, Ario never being able to shake off the younger colt....But what's this at the 6 furlong mark, Impressario is being brought in by his jockey and Bank On Greatness is now eye to eye with his older sibling. What is Ambre Black thinking?! The crowd is now on the edge of their seats with now only 3 furlongs till the finish , each horse looks one another squarely in the eye. The question now is, can Impressario hold off this ambitious Bank On Greatness. Already he's been the pace setter for over half the race, does this older stallion have any reserve left now to be a contender for the final finish....

Wait there goes Bank On Greatness! His Jockey has given him his head with 2 furlongs left and slowly begins to inch his lead. First the head...then the neck. Wow! He's really putting the speed on and all that stalking and waiting has paid off. There's one length now between the two horses, with Impressario now behind and only 1 Furlong left to the finish...It looks as though Bank On Greatness is going to be bringing the win home! Wait....Ambre Black has just tapped her mount and now his head has been given, and Ladies and Gentlemen....the gap is closing! I can't believe it! Impressario is gaining on Bank On Greatness and now is neck to neck!

A few lengths left, it may be a photo finish, but noo...Impressario taps one more time into his amazing stamina and Bank On Greatness doesn't have enough time to respond to the challenge as Impressario slips his head past his younger sibling to claim the win.

What a great race.

Impressario It was here that I think experience and seniority helped him take the lead. He's a great horse that is well accomplished and all of his work-outs were great. It was a closely matched race, but today was Ario's day. His extra attitude and excited spirit gave him the edge he needed to steal the win, armed with his vast experience. Great Horse.

Bank On Greatness By no means is he any lesser than Ario and it was a hard race to place, but like stated previously, today was Ario's day and experience lent the upper hand. He ran his best and with great technique, but simply just didn't have the time in the end to respond to Ario's usurping challenge. You've done very well with him and he will continue to gain more experience and grow as a mighty force to be reckoned with on the track.


Good Job and Congrats to both horses and players! A very hard race to judge, but very exciting! ;D
