Lucy had been wanting to see how Houdini would do with the older horses. She knew he would flourish. She knew he would do fairly well. She met up with Chloe at the barn. Darby and Spur already had Houdini and Nico ready. Nico was the finest workout partner for the younger horses. Him and Houdini would pair well for the dual work over the turf.
The girls mounted and rode to the turf course. Nico towered over Houdini, who was quite tall and intimidating himself. Nico was the tallest horse in the barn. He was just a couple inches from 18 hands. Chloe sat high and proud in the saddle. Luc shook her head and pursed her lips. She ran her fingers through Houdini's silky black mane. He was her baby. She couldn't wait to get some babies out of him a few years down the road. She knew he would make an incredible stud someday. She was planning on running him in the Breeder's Cup at the end of the year. She knew he would have an incredible racing season. He was a fascinating young colt.
Nico would be standing stud the next year. This would be his year of wins. This was his season to get his name out there and have the mares standing in line for him going into year 15. Lucy was already planning on covering a couple mares to him. She knew he would be an incredible daddy. Nico would go on to the Breeder's Cup, as well. Lucy was hoping for the Classic. She knew he had a chance, given if he had an awesome season. She would see how it would go for him and plan everything out for the young stallion.
Once they reached the turf course, Houdini was off first. He dashed away. "No, you don't!" Chloe called as she pressed her heels into Nico's side. The giant jumped into a brisk canter and was soon on Houdini's flank. Lucy turned around with a laugh. "Sorry. He just wants to go." She said. Chloe shook her head. "Yea, blame it on the horse. That was so you!" she said. Both girls laughed as they cantered the big boys around the track.
The sun was shining bright, putting a small blanket of warmth onto the crisp air. The horses were relaxed and so were the riders. Lucy and Chloe exchanged nice words as they continued on. Nico and Houdini nipped at each other, here and there. They were just playing around. The young colt's strides matched perfectly with the stallion's. They would be going a mile. It was going to be a great workout.
Once the girls gave the signal, Houdini shot off first. Nico wasn't far behind. He caught up instantly. They raced on around the first turn. Houdini ran snug on the rail. Nico was right at his shoulder on the outside. He would give him the run of his life. They thundered down the backstretch, setting an incredible pace. Their strides matched as they continued. Nico had a nose out front as they headed into the final turn. He pushed Houdini on.
Around the turn they flashed. Lucy took out her whip, with Chloe following with hers. They were going neck and neck down the stretch. Neither horse was faltering. It was a fantastic dual. Down the stretch they came. Soon Houdini edged ahead of Nico. He overpowered the older horse by a length and gaining. "That's it boy. Go! Lucy whispered to him. His strides lengthened even more as he pushed himself towards the wire. They passed it first, two and a half lengths ahead of Nico and Chloe.
Lucy pulled him up. Chloe rode up to her, pulling Nico up, as well. "That's one incredible horse there. You shouldn't have to worry about how he runs with older horses. He's going to do great!" Chloe said. They high-fived. They cooled the horses out together and rode them back to the barn. They talked about the incredible workout the entire way.
