"Sir? This is her." A small man, not looking into the horse-riders eyes remarked.

A gruff voice spoke from atop the ebony horse, "The girl who tells fortunes?."

Whispers escaped the small girl as voices reverberated around the street, "They're doing a magic spell to make her win a race."

Red powder was blown onto the horses face as it snorted with the unwanted substance.

"The horse's names' Monaghan Boy. Kempton, three oclock, Monday. You ladies have a bet yourselves but dont tell anyone else." The voice spoke again, loudly above the whispers.
