Workout for Lucky Penny Stakes.
Aaron urged the bay mare into a steady gallop. She was already 5 years old. It seemed like just yesterday that he was riding her in the turf triple crown. She had done well in the series, in fact she had done well over the years for Aaron. She was one of the first mounts he was ever allowed to race. It had been an exciting start to his career.
As of today though she hasn't come in better then second this year and she needed to get back into the swing of things. She was against some very tough competition and she needed to be in the best shape possible. Aaron looked back and saw Kirsten and Melanie arguing once again. Figures... He rolled his eyes and focused on the mare beneath him. Only a month back and already ARS was bringing their personal life to the track. He was not going to get sucked into the drama anymore. He had a son to support and a reputation on the line. He had some good mounts this year and he needed to make sure they won. Maybe if he can prove himself to his boss and to the racing world than his errors may be forgiven. He needed to work hard.
Kirsten rode away from her sister fuming with anger. When did that girl ever learn. How difficult was it just to obey her commands? It was HER farm. She had done everything for her rebellious brat of a sister and did she appreciate it? NO! Kirsten gritted her teeth and forced Carmilla into a trot. The big black mare obeyed hesitantly. Oh great now she was bringing out her emotions into her mounts, the same thing she is constantly harassing her sister about. Kirsten sighed angrily and tried her best to push her emotions at bay.
Carmilla was working a little choppy today, probably because of Kirsten. It wasn't fair to the mare. She had never really gotten her chance on the track and really desperately needed it now. With stables closing their doors and constantly be juggling around the mare needed to get some races under her hooves. God knows she deserved a fair chance.
The Night Stalker mare pricked her ear back and waited for her next cue. She was normally much more spirited then this but Kirsten figured she might as well take advantage of her mood while it lasted. It was time to get to work.
Melanie pushed the tall stallion into a good canter. Thunderstrike quivered with excitement and energy. It was the first time he was back on the GHF track in a long time. He hadn't had a good start to his three year old season last year but he has matured now and was ready for the competition. Hopefully. She patted the colt fondly. She loved riding horses that she had seen grow up and thrive on the farm. She had been Striker's rider since day one and has always enjoyed it. Even through his many losses he was always willing to keep running. This season should be better for him.
Once he was well warmed up she gave a thumbs up to the other two riders. Kirsten looked away immediately. Melanie sighed. Her older sister was such a prude. She wasn't going to let the woman bother her today. It was a nice day and the track was running fast. A perfect time for Striker's first run back on the GHF track. Kirsten can just eat her grass. Melanie giggled. Striker lifted his head to look at her. Melanie giggled again. What the heck was wrong with her? Well lots according to Kirsten and Aaron. Melanie doubled over with laughter.
Aaron looked at Melanie with disgust. Why didn't she ever take anything seriously? He moved his mount towards the rail. He was going to work Allure whether Melanie was into it or not. Kirsten moved in next to him obviously fuming with anger. And then there was Melanie a few paces behind them still having a random giggle fit. Women...
