PEGASUS WINGS AND HENNA TURATH
STRICTLY ROYAL AND KRYSTAL YHATE

This was interesting. Krystal had come to Henna with a proposition. Work with her and Roy on sprinting, and they'd give another race, any race Henna wanted, for free. Henna had accepted, of course, because these pair races were becoming half traditional here at SOPS, and she hungered for competition. Henna doubted that the massive two year old colt that Roy was would be able to keep up with Asus when it came to sprinting, but it helped to let Krystal have a crack at it. Of course, Henna would make sure she'd sorely regret challenging her and Asus. Her black four year old bounced with energy beneath her, ready to go as always.

TDI LIVE THIS LIE AND AMBER BLACK
FIRE DANCER AND KRYSTAL YHATE

These two horses both needed picking up. It was hoped that their mutual competitiveness would rub off on each other. Therefore, they would gallop a mile together, head to head, no racing, in order to really get them thinking about releasing and running away for their next race. It was time to put in the effort now. If Fire wanted to see the Juvenile Fillies and if Falsehood wanted to see the Breeders Cup at all, the time was now. Amber and Krystal exchanged grave nods from aboard their respective mounts before separating. Amber took Falsehood for a quiet canter along one end of the dirt track, while Krystal took Fire for a trot and a couple rein-backs. The dark bay two year old was already full of herself. Her usual aura of intimidation had thickened to its competitive strength, and her eyes spoke of a reckoning to come. She was determined to defeat the gray colt she faced. But unfortunately for her, they weren't racing. Just running.

SILLENIA AND KRYSTAL YHATE
DARK SUNRISE AND HENNA TURATH

This had been the race Henna desired. Sunny versus Sill. Both fillies were three years old and had raced against each other. Now, it was apparent Henna wanted a rematch. The outcome? It would be interesting. Both horses were hard core closers. Therefore, there was an interesting race going on here. They would duke it out for four furlongs, full on sprinting, exactly against these horses' natures. Then, they'd see who was more well rounded. Henna exchanged a dark smirk with Krystal, who was warming Sill up already. The beautiful dark bay filly moved fluidly, keeping quiet and not acting headstrong today. Sunny, on the other hand, moved like an excitable young filly. She was bouncing on her hooves, ready to go. Who would win? Time would tell.

SILENT WINGS JOCKEYED BY HENNA TURATH
MYSTICAL MELODY JOCKEYED BY KRYSTAL YHATE

This was one of those strange rides where jockeys were switched up and a race was made anyway. It was a challenge run for Mel indeed. She was deeply bonded to Henna Turath, but Henna wanted Mel to run against Dara simply for experience and turn of foot. She had wanted this badly enough to sacrifice her ride to Krystal for today. That, in Krystal's opinion, definitely said something. Half in thought about it, she asked Mel for a simple canter. The filly entered half unwillingly, as though confused, and Krystal sighed. Henna and Dara had a much stronger partnership than her and Mel. They were basically guaranteed the victory.
