A chestnut filly trotted boldly down the track , her ears pricked foreword. Phoebe smiled at her cheerful attitude. She could tell that this was going to be a great ride. Cookie was a young and talented racer and clearly loved to run. Her legs were extremely powerful and she loved the thrill of winning. Phoebe halted her and prepared for a quick start. The moment Cookie blasted off she started her watch. She carefully set her pace, so she wouldn't tire too quickly. The filly's disappointment was noticeable as she slowed slightly. Phoebe couldn't allow her to let it out just yet. As they finished the first turn Cookie still hadn't broken into a sweat and she knew there was still alot of energy left to burn. Phoebe smiled and took a deep breath. She had raced three times already. She got the blue in one of them. The other two didn't turn out so good, but Phoebe knew that Cookie was a star. Almost everyone knew. Once they were a little more than half way around the track Phoebe's lips spread into a grin as she let Cookie go. Immediately she bursted into a near perfect sprint. Her strides were large and strong and her neck stretched out. Phoebe could barely see as the pair raced down the straightaway. Good girl! She said as she slowed the chestnut down. Sweat dripped from her neck. She gave her a pat and looked down at her watch. One forty five!! Thought Phoebe excitedly. That's brilliant! Her smiled widened as she continued to praise the amazing filly. That was great, Cookie! She walked the sweaty athlete back to the barn for good rub down.
