SPEAK EASY && JOHNNY GARNER
WHISPERING MELODY && TALIA SMITH
The next horse to come onto the dirt track was the only other dark horse in the Firestone barn. Whispering Melody was one of Carter’s newest additions, but she had settled in nicely and was one win away from Grade Four.
Once the horses were ready, they stepped onto the dirt track and allowed the horses to breeze for moment, so their muscles were loose and ready for the group workout. The gates were ready for the horses and Wendy was placed in first followed by Sonny, who didn’t hesitate to walk into the large contraption.
The jockeys waited for the forthcoming anticipation of the gates opening, and the wait was over when they sprung open. Right away, Johnny had Sonny at the lead as Wendy settled behind him, where she liked to be. The workout was short so the challenge came early as Wendy sped up, threatening to take Sonny’s lead. The colt wouldn't allow the filly to pass him as he stretched his legs farther and easily won the workout race by a length. It wasn’t like the filly was a bad racer, but Carter had been noticing something big forming in the colt, and he was really excited to see what it would bring him.
