Catie and Kodak Snap && Lexi and Prefect Fool
It was a new season for Debar Racing and they were out to make their name known. They had bought a lot of new racers, and hired new jockeys too! They didn't just buy new propects in their buying spree, they also bought some old timers too!
Today Catie was out on Kodak Snap, a chestnut filly out of Kodak Moment, their new broodmare, by With A Snap. The filly was a hopeful to tear up the turf tracks. The filly was known as Kiko. She was a very shy filly, and it was hard to gain her trust.
Catie and the filly stood on the tracks, waiting for Lexi and her mount, Perry, to show up. The filly stood quietly, looking around, her ears perked forward. She watched everything that moved, ready to run if she saw fit. She was such a spookier. Its Okay girl.. Catie whispered, patting the chestnut's neck.
Catie smiled as she saw Lexi riding up on Prefect Fool, aka Perry or Punch. The colt was a smart one! He learned quick with everything and wasn't a mean colt. He didn't like to fight, nor was he a dominant colt. It made him fun to work with.
What are we doing today? Catie asked. Lexi shrugged. Warm up, let them stretch their legs? She said, looking at Catie. Catie nodded. Sure... The chestnut filly eyed the bay colt, taking a step back. She threw her head up, the whites of her eyes flashing. Catie narrowed her eyes. Cut it out Kiko, you know him... It isn't going to eat you.. She urged the filly forward into a trot, and Lexi did the same to Perry. The duo trotted side by side.
The pair trotted down the track for a few furlongs before Catie urged Kiko into a canter. After both horses we warmed up, they galloped them out for five furlongs. The chestnut filly was very warey of the colt, but it didn't stop of from trying to pull ahead. Catie got the filly more rein, allowing her to go faster if she would like. Kiko's eyes flickered and she took this as her chance. She bounded forward, running away with the lead. Catie smiled as she heard the hoof beats behind her fade away. Lexi didn't see that coming.... After another furlong they both slowed their horses down and started to cool them off. What was that about Catie? Catie just shrugged and grin.
