Description

Since this was a late race, the staff at WBS had plenty of time to acclimate WBS Ghostly Fellow to the track, of which they were thankful for. Fellie was much like his dam in the aspect that he was very curious and attentive of his surroundings, and the staff preferred to keep distractions to a minimum. Though undefeated thus far, Fellie had not yet entered a race against any of the horses in the field today and the ball was really in anyone's court. Until now, SM Loop Me had been Fellie's main rival- however, the winds seemed to shift as a new threat entered into his life. GME Deadpool was a big black stallion, an inch taller than the lanky Fellie, and had an attitude as dark as his coat. He had a thick chest with strong features, and a presence of which demanded attention of those around him weather they volunteered or not. When post time neared, the horses were tacked and mounted and after a short circle in the parade ring they were led to the gates. Deadpool tried to get after Fellie, but he just pinned his ears and stayed calm under the coaxing hand of his jockey. Fellie- like his dam- was a front runner, so the post position of 1 was perfect for him as he would have the best seat in the house from the get go. That is, unless his newly found rival was faster out of the gate and managed to box him in. Luckily for the WBS team, once the bells rang and the gates swung open, Deadpool threw a fit out of the gate, bucking as he went forward and gave Fellie the perfect start he needed. It wasn't long til the black stud was hot on his heels, though. Malibu Shoe preferred to be in the pack, so Alano positioned him right behind MH F--k That Noise and just in front of ISS Raging Ocean. These positions held fast for the bulk of the race, with minor changes here and there. Even though Fellie was blind to the world around him, he could hear the thundering hooves behind and aside him, and just as he pumped the air from his lungs he likewise heard the thumping breaths of his opponents.  He felt little from his rider, waiting obediently for his cue to kick things up a notch. And when that cue came around the turn to the final stretch, he eased into a longer stride and surged forward. It was a few seconds after that Malibu made his move, ever so slightly later than usual, though he covered the ground necessary to start gaining on the front runners. As the finish line neared, Abhijat Devar noticed a black nose from his right- bobbing in view. Deadpool was not only right next to them, but inching ahead. It was time for Fellie to decide if he could take on the challenge, or if he had already given everything he had.
