*Down To The Wire*
Horse 1: Barely A Sound
Rider: Chloe Paisley
Horse 2: Pocahontas
Rider: Ariel Paisley
The young fillies were pumped up. They waited patiently at the rail as Lucy gave Chloe and Ariel some instructions. It was going to be a seven furlong work, this morning. It was going to be a great dual between Holly and Whisper. Whisper stood taller than Holly, but that didn't give the smaller filly a disadvantage. She was a firecracker, who was quick on her feet. She would give Whisper a run for her money. They nuzzled each other as they stood side by side. They had become close friends, even though Whisper was more bonded with Reggie, but they were getting there.
Chloe got Whisper out onto the track first. Ariel followed behind, pressing her heels into Holly's side. Holly jumped into a canter. She dashed by Whisper. The bay filly got startled, snorted, and went into a canter herself. She soon made her way towards the gray filly. Holly caught her in her view. She picked up her pace a little, not wanting Whisper to get by.
Once the jocks let them go, Holly shot off quickly and took the lead. Whisper threw up her head and followed tightly on her heels. They ran down the backstretch. Whisper kept her distance from Holly. She wanted the filly to wear herself out so she could make a move in the stretch. The turn came in no time. Ariel flashed her whip, keeping Holly on her toes. She could feel the filly slowly weaken. Whisper was on her flank. Chloe was doing a hand drive.
Going into the stretch, Whisper overtook the gray. Holly switched gears and didn't give up the fight. They head-bobbed to the wire. Soon Whisper was able to inch away from her and took a good two length lead. Holly fought her way down to the wire, but she couldn't reach the taller horse. Whisper won the dual. It had been a good run for the both of them. They made it down to the wire. The girls pulled them up and rode them out a couple laps to cool them out.
