Midnight Pharoah

Denver Cup

When we landed in the morning we were unloaded. Jacob and Luke took us to the barns and left us there till later.

When they left Jukebox asked me "Did you sleep last nigh?"

"Ya" I answered but she knew that I hadn't.

"Well I did but I am tired I am going to take a nap" he said while yawning.

"Okay when you wake up I will be in the winners circle" I said happily.

With that she was asleep. I started to dose off too.

Jacobs Pov

I was looking at the 6 horses running and I saw one name that I was scared off. He would take everything from Pharoah. I will not let that happen, Wicked Colors was from Winning Colors and Wicked Strong.

1. Big Day Daddy
2. Midnight Pharoah
3. Wicked Colors
4. My Turf
5. Winning Silks
6. Quarterback Sneak

Luke told me to got get Pharoah to warm him up a little before they had riders up.

***************

I was awoken by Jacob getting me out to saddle me up. Man did that nap go bye fast. Soon as he was done I was wide awake. I was ready to win. Jacob took me out to warm me up and that's when I saw the other horses. I only knew two of them Quarterback Sneak which I could beat easily, but it's the other horse Wicked Colors. I have seen him race before me a few times and all those times he has won. He is the only horse who has come close to beating Secretariats record.

Jacob must have saw me freeze because he was wisp wring in my ears and rubbing my neck. So I took off and was ready but I was scared of Wicked Colors.

Riders up

Luke gave Jacob a leg up and took us out to the track. We were loaded second to last because Wicked Colors hates the gates. I stood there ready waiting for the bell staring ahead.

RING

I flew out of the gates and Jacob let Wicked Colors ahead of me. I stayed right behind him pushing him and hoping he would tire out. Winning Silks was beside me and Quarterback Sneak was sneaking up. While they were fighting me I was fighting Wicked Colors. As soon as Wicked Colors stated to slow kicked it up a gear and started to gain. Soon we were neck and neck, I stared to pull away but we were soon neck and neck again. As the line closed in on us I let it loose. I started to pull once again and crossed the wore but yet again Wicked Colors was right by me. We had to go to photo finish. I looked up and saw I had one by a nose.

I was lead to the winners circle and I looked towards the barn and saw Jukebox. I was lead back to the barn and untacked me and washes me off. I walked in the stall and was eating when I fell asleep.
