Now it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

_______________________________________

When the pony rider walking Stan peeled away, drawing the leather lead strap from his bridle the young colt was in a tizzy. It had taken some time as the leather had kinked and snagged and several of the other horses had opened up a small gap between them and him. ­­He pulled away into the warm up canter around to the gap onto the turf course out of hand and off the bit. Silly thing was so worried that he was being left behind.

After a few strides his jockey had stood in the stirrups to put more of that calm, steadying pressure of his on the colt. No sense in letting the new kid wash himself out before he even broke in his first official race.

Stan wasn't so sure he wanted the same things out of this that Dane wanted. He wanted to run, were the two of them even in the same book let alone on the same page? The grey colt shook his head, but did drop it back down and behave other than one last dive to try getting his way now rather than later.

He had given up and was reluctantly patient when they slowed. Jigging in a mostly straight line he turned onto the turf and approached the gate with it's loading crew lingering around. Overcast with a bit of a hiccup at first, but still, a bright beginning.

Yes, the background is a photo that I took. Yup, you probably recognize the stat boxes if you watch any simulcast races since I based them off of the style Keeneland uses to give information pre-race. And no, those are not the odds or payouts for the actual race, they are random numbers I got through a combination of an actual race in a race forum and mashing the number pad a couple times for good measure :dummy:.
