Workout for JUST A TROT FUTURITY*
October have soon and pretty soon the season would be over. Breeders cup wouldn't be along be here and the races needed to spaced out carefully so our stock weren't over used. Animals for that race must be kept fresh and crisp as a good trainer knows that. Luckily the three running today were in their prime and have potential to qualifier the breeders cup, if we were lucky that is. The races have become very competitive these days and it was even more intense, with new stables entering the circuit these days. We had three horses running in the JUST A TROT FUTURITY, we held the gates Three, Four and Five. The competition was becoming more intense and large amount of runners, which means it was going to be fast and our horses had to be on their toes if we were going to get anywhere. Gate three was going to hold our palomino mare Golden Grove, she have been improving in her races and needed a little more work to push her up more. We knew she had potential there it was getting it on race day was important. Gate four held our dual surface horse Quintessential, she was running really badly this season. This was going to be her last race of the season, so this race would be a decider to keeping running her or retiring her to brood. Lastly gate five held our chestnut stallion Limited Bluez, he was running smashing for us, even for a five year old he was still running strong showing no signs of stopping.
The horses were all on the dirt track running side by side, simply breezing as the orders were to let the breeze for five furlongs and then the final two was letting them go flat out. To make their breaking sharp and crisp. The gate wasn't the problem with either horse, which was good. There wasn't a single amount of sweat on the horse's neck which was good, showing they were all relax. Quin was fighting with her bite like she always did, when she wanted to go faster than it was meant to. The two furlongs was coming up, and the horses could sense it and quickly got ready to break.
All jockeys yelled to encouraged their mounts. Right away Blue split from the pack, and was now in front, his legs were speeding and no hoof was hitting the ground. Hanging by his tail as it was speaking term, Tegan was fighting trying to get the lead from him. Quin wasn't playing ball and was tossing her head the few times, and eventually she woken up and quit being lazy and began to increase her speed. Though this fighting spirit wasn't for long like normal young races normally have, and she quit the fight again.
The mocking race to help them for the JUST A TROT FUTURITY race, was now a two horse race. Tegan creped up and was by Blue's neck again as their ran side by side again. Blue wasn't a horse to give up the lead that easily, and the jockeys were encouraging their mounts and the horses crossed the line together. Sweat was running down their neck and underneath their saddles, it would be a photo finished and Blue would have won the race by a nose, which was good for Tegan, as she was performing well and loved to run. Quin wasn't doing well the workout today, and the delimna with retiring is more on the cards now, this race was going to be her last, ever.
