I had a few weeks till my next major race and oh boy I could not wait. I loved the feeling of winning the Triple Crown a few years after my pa.

When Jukebox and I was unloaded and took to the barn we pasted Lady Red. Ohh she was not so happy.

When Like and Jacob left Lady Red would not stop glaring. I was in the stall next to Jukebox and across Lady Red.

"Soooo how was your maaaajor win at the derby" she scolded.

"Well thank you" I said back and I did not pay her any attention the rest on my day.

Before I knew it the race was here. We were getting tacked up but Jacob checking the line up to see if our challenger was there. Off course he was there. His name was Charming Fella.

1. Wild Thing
2. Houston Take Off
3. Phantom of the Track
4. Enders Game
5. Midnight Pharoah
6. I'm in Netherland
7. The Secret Annex
8. Charming Fella

I had one problem and that was Charming Fella because he had token the Breeders cup last year. He took it from a great horse named Bright Sunshine. He was a great horse. But I am going to win no matter what.

Riders up

Luke gave Jacob a leg up and I pranced off but Jacob yet again scratched behind my ear. It felt so good and I calmed down almost instantly.

I was loaded in last like always. I looked down the stalls and saw Charming Fella. He was staring ahead prancing like. I knew we would not break good.

RINGGGGG

I dashed out of the gate but I let Phantom of the Track take the lead because Jacob told me that he always takes the lead and then drowns out. They had positive I would win. We turned and I took off. Soon we were neck and neck but he was taking the lead and Jacob did not even have to tell me to kick it up to high gear. I flew past him and won by a length. Not what I wanted but I won.

Luke took us to the winners circle. The flowers were on my back. I love the feeling of it. I was going to be the next Triple Crown Winner.
