"Fillies and Gentlecolts, welcome to Baltimare stadium!" The crowd roared, and the sun shined brighter than ever. This was my big moment, to finally show up Brett and the gang in the biggest race of my life. I could hear the announcers talking about the game from the locker room, even speaking about me.
"Well Nova, you know this is a really big race for a young colt named Cobalt Blue right?"
"Yeah Dreodi, I hear he's a good contender, but he's a new face out here. I have no idea what he's gonna pull out on the track today."
"Well, we all know the race between Baltimare and Manehatten is a huge race for the Baltimare team, after their last loss against them, I'm expecting them to be explosive out of the gate today."
"Well, we'll have to see, Cobalt could make or break this race, and we have no idea what's gonna happen with him and the team...."
When I heard that the race was all on me, I immediately seized up. "If I screw up this race, I'm done racing forever." I thought of what Brett did to that little pegasi back on the street yesterday, and I shuddered.
"The race starts in 15 minutes! All racers must report to registration bay!"
The track supervisor ushered us all out of the locker room when we were done getting ready, us all in our uniforms. Baltimare vs Manehatten, a race that I could make it or break it. I just knew that I had to win, I had to win for my life. My wings were on the line here-
"Cobalt Blue to registration."
The guy behind the counter waved me over, I had to sign myself up and get on the track.
"Sign here please."
I scribbled my name on the paper
"Thanks, just head out the door to your right, take a left at the sign, and then you'll come out to a tunnel, then just head out to the track."
I nodded, being the nervous wreck that I was, and started out to the door.
"Hey! break a leg dude! This is your big day!"
Irony at its finest........
