Grade Five Dirt (9f)

[/size]

Our long distance dirt grade five horses were having their workouts now. They were all doing well in they performance at home, but two we didn't understand why they were bad on the track, maybe it wasn't they day on the track, we just didn't know. The first horse being led to the exercise track was our recent bought chestnut colt Gold Fox. On the first race we had him he broke his maiden, he had a few bad races after that, from being he was coming dead last, but that was due to lack of experience than anything else. The second horse to go on the track and would be in gate two was our bay filly Quin, she was having a bad new lately and hope she would pick up, her season was just working for her, as last season she was placed third, she was a closer and was going to try and hold her back a little while. Lastly our third entry was our grey Sand Piper, she was bought last year and her fitness was beginning to improve now and she was beginning to improve on her placing. The horses were now breezing on the dirt track as the gates were getting checked.

Again we had the paper and three different coloured markers to check the competitors and to see which horses would be a threat to us on the day. Gate four held the chestnut colt from Silver Stride Stables, this colt is a really good racehorse. He is a mid pack runner and was the one to watch, with plenty of placings in his record, so his name was marked in the dark red marker. Gates five and six held horses from Silver Perfection Stables. Gate five held the bay filly, she was another threat on the track as her record for this season was really good and impressive in fact. Her name was marked red, she was mid packer. Gate six held the grey colt he was another mid pack and only ran twice and won once and came second one, so we marked him blue to be watched but not much of a threat. Gate seven held the bay colt from Close Racing Stable, this colt wasn't much to look at with his record. Gate seven held the bay colt from Oak Hill Farm, he was a closer runner, and had a decent record for his age. We marked the blue around his name as he needed to be kept an eye on, just in case. Lastly gate eight held the bay colt from Star Thoroughbred Stables, he was a closer and maybe a threat.

That was all the runners, eight horses in the field all together including our three. The gates were ready and the horses were loaded into them. Ten seconds later the gates spring open and the horses were running some more. They all got into they positions, Quin was second as she was a closer, while Fox was first but not because he was a front runner, he was a mid pack. The horses kept in their position and ran some more, widen the lengths and legs some more. The final turn was coming and the horses were making their moves, Quin was moving along the inside rail, while Piper was moving along the outside. They were battling for the lead, and now were side by side. The line was cross and it would have been a closed finished if it was a proper race, pulling the horses up and taking them back to the yard, as the grade five racers were all worked and ready for their race.
