Workout for October Dirt Stakes
[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]After the performance from our turf horse. The dirt stakes runners were big and the competition is going to fierce. It was going to be a good race as a big field with excellent strong runners was needed to get the fighting spirited into our stock more. The first horse to come onto the track was our dark brown stallion Gold Storm. His stamina was failing slowly this season, which might force him into retirement next season. Until then he was entered and hope his bad season would vanished after being put back into work. Baylee was good jockey for him and looks after him well in his races, not pushing him to much if he wasn't right. The last thing we needed was an injury. Checking his tack and bandages, he was ok to go the track, while waiting for the other runners. The second runner was another horse we bought from Encomny sales, the bright bay mare named Native Gold. She was doing really well this season, and still have the stamina for more races behind her more. She was hyper right now and half rearing, showing her eagerness to get to work. Her jockey Reena was someone she loved and Reena nodded once everything was check and she went to the track and nipping Storm playing with him a little and showing her mischievous side right now. Lastly the last horse was the chestnut stallion which was neglected so much that he would have been grade one if he was kept in the racing and worked more. He was a front runner and the strongest horse we have got in the race.
All the runners were on the track now and breezing calmly by each other and enjoying the company of others. The gates were check and ready to be used. Five minutes were up and the muscles were warmed up ready for the work they were going to be used for. The trio horses and loaded well and in the position they would be in the race. Storm was gate four, Goldie was gate five and Blue was gate six. They were ready for the gates to open, and once they were open, he broke cleanly and got into their position. Storm was right behind of the pack, Goldie was in middle and right in front was Blue.
The workout was fast as they horses needed to be prepared for the race which was expected to fast and big. Blue was leading the mock race and made sure his stamina was locked away and ready for the last part of the race. Goldie was watching the stallion closely and she pushed herself a little forward, and was now by his tail. Storm stayed where he was and kept himself ready for the attack when it was needed. It was time to break and with a simple command all three horses began to break and change their positions quickly.
The final turn was beginning to come around the corner, and Blue and Goldie were head and head now, as they were galloping hard. Storm even broke and started to get into third position but had no stamina left to fight for the lead. Reena pushed Goldie more wanting her give her it all she had. Goldie responded quickly and galloped more and quickly took Blue's lead and cross the line, and the chestnut stallion didn't have time to respond.
This sneak attack and new workout plan was good, and hopefully it would be good for the race.
