Black Legend and Sam Morgan
Flying Solo and Luke Waston (temp jockey)
Rainy Day and Kiara White

It was time to workout the whole racing stock. Our stable have been doing badly in some races, the biggest shock was our best horse finishing fifth in a very important race. It was time to step up the game and this month everything was going to be different. The turf races were the start of this new racing sphere. Our horses were in gates five, six and seven. First horse to come on the yard was the mighty black stallion named Shetan, he have matured and settled into racing better, Sam our aggressive jockey was prefect for him and have got him hang back since he loved running in front the race all the time. Second horse to run the same race was the bay colt Flying Solo, he was going to be put on our temporary jockeys, since Sam can't ride both horses in one race. Solo is a predecer horse, and as trouble of leading the attack too soon, he still learning and can be hard to handle sometimes. Lastly our mare Rainy Day was our final entry, she have been really unlucky in her races and hopefully the runs would gain the confidence and experience. The horses were ready to go on the track now and they entered the turf, and exercising they muscles. The gates weren't an hassle for them, so it was just a free line workout.

There were eleven runners altogether, so the horses need to be settled quickly. Luckily all three horses are mostly by the front anyway, Rainy Day have settled into the front now, and have been more successful this way. It was time to look at the competition and plan a stagedy against the other runners. Gate One held a bay mare from a new stable called Kacey Hill Farm, this two mare was a front runner and have a possible of leading the race, and losing her energy when it mostly needed, Solo would be stalking her and pushing this stride to make her work harder and harder. Gate Two and Three held horses from Close Racing Stable. They were Broadway and Chiagco Blues, they weren't very high betted on and weren't much of the threat. Gate Four held a stallion from Oak Hill Farm, he was the oldest horse in the field and the only grey. He have had a bad season this year, and was a preceder, he could be a threat and need to be watched. Gates Eight and Nine held horses from Silver Stride Stables, they have been having amazing season this year so far. They entries are Ray of Sunshine and Prideful Limits. Pride is a front runner and have won most of his race entered, he was the favourite for this race and needs to watched carefully. Ray is another front runner, but so far haven't won this season and isn;t much of an threat as Pride. Gates Ten and Eleven were horses from Prison Hill Stables. Their entries are Ford Model T and Devil Crusade. They were both good horses, but unlikely to cause problems on the day.

With most of the field front runners it was going to hard to get a clean gap away from the pack. The horses lining up like dark to light, and waiting patiently to be break. All horses broke cleanly as they were in the gates, right away Shetan went to the front, while Solo and Rain were hanging back stalking him. The stamina was fast, but still the all had some fuel left in the tank to keep on running. Sam kept Shetan back not use his entire energy, with a large field and half of them front runners, there was no need to rush ahead. Rain was slowly speeding up and got to Shetan's tail, ask she was matching his speed and attempting to make him go faster like she was doing to other runner in the race. Solo was fighting with his jockey and refusing to run more and was falling more and more behind. The final turning was coming around the bend and Shetan and Rain were side by side as the were getting faster and stretching his limbs longer. Fighting for the lead like they would in an actual race, Rain put her head out more and won the workout.

The plan was good and all we could do is hope it was good enough for the day. The horses were great and they were ready for the challenge. Prideful Limits better watch out as Rain and Shetan were ready to beat your tail.

Gold Fox and Sam Morgan
Golden Grove and Kiara White
Quintessential and Baylee Shepherd

Next on the working out schedule was the dirt grade five racers. The training was the entire stock racing stock, to get them improving and to get our stable as a threat again. Today it was the workout for the Comet Cup race. We have gates three, four and five. Gate three held the chestnut colt named Gold Fox, he was bought from Encomony stable after being neglected, on the first day and race with us he won the race. To help him improve and push him forward Sam Morgan was placed on his back, to help with the connerction more, he wears blinkers. Gate four held the palomino filly named Golden Grove, she have been unlikely in the last few of her races. Hopefully this one would give her a better luck, as the filly had so much to give. She was being ridden Kiara White who have ridden her from the beginning, placing some bandages on her limbs to keep them safe, as she had a tendency to knock them while running in training sessions. Gate four held the bright bay named Quintessential, she was bought from a sale as two year old and have settled in well in our stable. She was being ridden by Baylee Shepherd as he was gentle and patient with horses. Our entries were in the yard, and one by one they were led to the dirt track and warmed up. The gates weren't needed as they all break cleanly from the gates.

While the horses were warming up it was time to check out what the other entries were. The field was short, with seven runners, so there is a chance the field would fast. Gate one held a entry from Kacey Hill Racing stable. The colt was a front runner, and his record have showed he loses his stamina from racing ahead to soon, which isn't much of a threat for us at this time. Gate two held the only grey entry from Oak Hill Stable. This colt likes being third from his record this season, and he is a mid runner like our Gold Fox, again this colt isn't the favourite so we haven't got to watch him mostly. Gate six held the chestnut colt from Silver Stride Stable, and was the favourite to win this race. He was a mid packer like Gold Fox, so he was the horse to watch. Gate seven held a bay colt from Prison Hill Stables, he was another front runner and the youngest in the field. His record is mostly second and third, but he could be a huge surprise us all.

Knowing what the field was like it was time to get on with the training. The horses were lined up the way they would break from the gate. On cue all three horses broke cleanly and quickly got into their positions. Fox was a head as he was in the middle of the back, followed by Quin about two lengths behind him stalking him and the invisible chestnut colt beside of him. Lastly at the rear was Tegan who was keeping her stamina when it was needed. The two leaders who were would be in front of the race was beginning to slow down, Sam cued Fox to go faster, and like magic the colt responded and spreaded his legs more, showing he wanted to win this race badly. Quin and Tegan were beginning to speed up also and keeping in tail with Fox. It was only our horses in the field, planning a prefect cue to attack the other racers in the race. Showing the horses have competitive speed and wiliness to win. Fox was keeping the new speed like he was trained to do. Quin and Tegan were speeding up and passing the falling horses now and were right by Fox's side again, like they were in the beginning. Pushing the trio horses as the final turning was coming around the corner, and the fighting spirit were being unleashed. Quin was fed up of losing and was pushing herself to overtake Fox from the lead, Fox kept the lead strongly and the both cross the line tightly together, it would have required a photo finish if the race was real. Tegan crossed the line two lengths behind them, keeping her energy for the actual race.

The horses better watch they hooves as Fox and Quin would be on her tail until the end.

Mr Hat and Clogs and Skye Webber

It was time to do our solo horse which was entered in more for youth stakes. This race was going to challenge our stallion, it was tough field with lot of more experienced horses and higher grade than him. It was nothing we can do and keep the training as normal with him. Even though the stallion haven't won with us yet, he have almost kept to second or third, which is better than nothing really. The dark brown stallion who was once owned and trained by Star Thoroughbred Stables was handled sweetly, which is why he was paired up with Skye Webber, the jockey who rides our famous White chocolate to her victories. Slowly the stallion was eager to get on the track, once he saw the track he was happy and began to get into his stride. Tucking his head into his chest while he was warming up his muscles, keeping his stamina for the race when it was needed.

While his muscles were getting warmed up. It was time to see what the competition was like and who was the favourite to win the race. There was five runners all together, which include us. Gate one was an entry from Close Racing stable, the horse named Xalbadora, this horse haven't got a good record, so wasn't the one to watch really. Gate Three was an entry from Silver Stride Stables, this horse was the favourite and the danger. She was a preceder and was grade one, still a grade three have beaten a grade one horse once, so there was a still chance. Gate Four and Five were entires from Stride of Perfection. One was a bay mare who was a grade two, while the other was the only grey. He was a front runner and was a grade three like our entry. The runners were all ages and there was a chance here.

The stallion was ready to run and he wanted to workout. Leading him into the gate two which was the gate was going to be in on race day. The bell rang and the gate sprung open. Once the gate sprung open the stallion broke cleanly and started to gallop in a comfortable stride. The horse in front of us was the favourite mare Moondance and the grey stallion. Keeping in the mid pack as we imagine the grey horse slipping down as the horse was losing his stamina. Skye pushed the stallion forward more, as he responded, his stride went faster, this continue for first five furlongs. Skye pushed him some more to encouarge him to go faster, the field would require this extra pushing if we had any chance to win the race. Kiskoe was responding well to the new training scheme and the vision of the leader came more closer towards us, and his front legs reached the rump. The final turn was just around the corner now and Kiskoe finally took the lead from the invisible horse in Skye's mind.

The lead was his and he sped some more increasing the length about two lengths and the line was cross. The stallion was great, hopefully this new scheme would work for us on the day, Kiskoe did a good job. He did everything on cue and Moondance would have a fight on her hooves, a fight with Kiskoe wouldn't give up easily.
