Limitless Time
It was the Dubai World Cup. This was their most important race of the year before the Breeder's Cup. They were mid-race and Limitless was side by side with his half sister Dark Sunrise. In fact Kirsten was next to her sister as well. They were at the back of the field, waiting for the perfect moment to close in. The pairs sat ready, waiting, running, hoping...
It was time to move but the horses in front were going four wide. There was no room to move. They tried to move to the outside but another horse moved in beside them. They were boxed in. Melanie and Sunny weren't having better luck, they tried to go wide but we were running out of time. They were almost under the wire. Limitless tried to move but he had no where to go! Kirsten felt the tears come to surface. She clenched her teeth and pulled her mount up. Limitless was still trying to make his closing kick but it was useless now. The wire has long passed. Kirsten saw the disappointment in her younger sister's eyes as well.
Kirsten exhaled and rode to the gap. She dismounted without a word and handed Limitless over to one of her hired hands. Without a glance to anyone she strode angrily towards the jockeys room. Changing her mind she strode straight for the back paddock (which was empty) and slammed her hands on the fence. She didn't stop there. She kicked the pole with all her might and slammed her hand on the fence again. She let out a frustrated scream and dropped her head in her arms. She let the tears flow. This was not how it was supposed to be.
Fifteen feet away a dark brunette grinned and wrote things down on her notepad. This was great. Akita Rose Stables losing their cool. She would be getting a lot of news if she continued to follow these dramatic boneheads. She smirked. It was time to see how much dirt she could find on ARS and let it all out in the open.
