Re: Do you have what it takes?

[Man O' War Lover]

I look at Maria and silently cheer her on. But Matt had to open his mouth again "I don't think so, Gal's workout's are far better than Captian's." I look at Maria and then back at Matt "No that's wrong, Captian's been doing much better this season and Maria has already worked with him. He's doing much better for her than he did with his regular jockey Mike." I said "So you should be a bit carfule with what you say." I stop and look at Maria knowing she could handl Matt on her own just fine but Matt was pretty anoying most of the time to me.

Maria let mike run his mouth about how his horse was better " talk is cheat mike especailly when its coming from your mouth" she said looking him straight in the eyes "plus moving on to bigger and better things is always good isn't that right baby" maria said turning to ray and planting a soft kiss on his lips before turning to mike " now if you don't mind me and my boyfriend are going to get something to eat" she said as she took rays hand and walked forward and awat fromn mikne

[Man O' War Lover]

Ray smiled at Maria once she pull's away from the kiss and Matt's face getting red. He nod's to her they pass Mike by and say "Well you showed him." Her gave her hand a light squeez. As he walked beside her he said "I don't think he know's he lost the best horse he could ride to you." Ray smiles with a bit or pride.

Maria
She smirked as she saw mike turn red as they walked away " and he lost the girl to you" she said with a smile as they went to grab food

[Man O' War Lover]

Ray smiled as he picked up a food tray then asked carfully "Just out of curiosity, when did you and Matt you know start dating?"

[redhead14]

Maria
As she got her food tray and started to walk to a empty table near the wall of windows facing the track she smiled softly " we started dating 2 years ago when I was 21 and he was 23 we ment through trainers and owners that had us ride for them and we made a bet before a race we had against each other that if he won I would finally say yes and date hime bu tif I won we just stay friends..well I won the race but when I looked back to gloat I watched in slow motion as he and his horse went down. His horse landed on him but only broke his right leg if you remember it so I felt bad and said yes anyway but it wasn't till after I broke up with him almost 11 months ago that I found out he tryed to force my horse all of the lights to run for him almost ruining all my training I put into her" she said as she sat down and took a bite of her salade

[Man O' War Lover]

Ray nod's, "I guess at first it was just friendly compatetion, not all jockeys are lucky all the time and win all the time." As he eats a half sandwitch praticly plane of all meet he think I should just eat the bred and put's it back on the tray. "Desparation get's old though. Easpacaly with Matt." He smiled at the last bit. "At least your positive about all this." He said, "It's amazing how everyone knows pretty much everyone else." He secretly wished Matt would not open his mouth again. "So what do you think it will be like this year, last year it was pretty much all mud." Ray had watched the race from the grandstands last year instead of riding a horse himself in the Derby. "Matt rode last year, I guess the results where fine. Just getting third is a pretty big thing." Looking up at Maria he said "It's pretty exsiting."

[redhead14]

Maria
She smiled " yah plus he learned never to cr4oss me again" she said as she took another bit. Looking out the window she smiled " i m hoping it will be a nice day with nice weather cause I hate getting muddy and wet" she said as she looked back to ray " yah its nice but everyone knows what's going on in everyone elses personal life" she said with a laugh

[Man O' War Lover]

"well that's what the mdeia does when the Derby comes around, mostly people really watch out for is the Preakness because if the horse who won the Derby does not win it then that means no Triple Crown champion." He said. "The track is in pretty nice condition right now so it might be fast or in good in surface." Looking at her he said "Some times the long shots maneg to get the Derby, I just hope the race is clean and no one messes up or nothing bad acures."

[redhead14]

Maria
" yah your right " she said as she listen to ray talk about the triple crown " I just hope its one of our horses that win" sshe added as she took a sip of her water

[Man O' War Lover]

He smiles and says "Well with all three of us in the race I doubt Matt or anyone else stands a chance at getting it." He hoped- knew that he or Jeff didn't get it that Maria would be the one to instead. He felt a little guilty for some reason, but he had found it amusing for Matt to be beaten by an x-girlfreind. As if sharing his own little joke he chuckled, "Captian is a great athlet, so is Magic Arrow and Storm Stride. I can't think or anyother horses of getting it besides them." He didn't have to tell he that though, but he hoped he was right.

[redhead14]

Maria
" yah id be happy with any of us winning but matt does have a filly that's up for filly of the year next to queen and lights so you never know. I mean yah this is for colts but some fillies can run" she said with a smile as she though of her own fillies racing

[Man O' War Lover]

Ray smile a little Lights was the nicer filly, "It's funny though everyone waits for the Breeder's Cup races, after them are over then people really start to talk about the year end awards. I don't know why but ushaly the Breeder's Cup Classic is the race every one reliys on to decide horse of the year." Captian may run in the Cup and posibly Storm Stride. It mainly depended on their results for this season, I doubted Magic Arrow will go. The bay colt was promising but not shining like he did last season. Queen would mostly likely progress-

[redhead14]

Maria
She listend to ray talk and nodded her head agreeing with what he was saying " yah mighty warrior id a grerat colt but I don't think hell race in the breeders cup queen and lights both might run in it though if they keep doing well" she said thinking about what horses and jokeys would get what awards

[Man O' War Lover]

"The Breeder's Cup Series had a sorts of races, but most horses must be elagable to run. Some barley make it in. The breeder's Cup Classic I think seems to be the biggest of all the series of races." Most horses who run in the triple crown make their way into the breeder cup series, hopefully Magic Arrow will to and Storm Stride. I smile a Maria "I don't have any doubt though that will both find a way into the series, there are a lot of races." I look down at my boots in thought-

[redhead14]

Maria
She smiled " I feel the same way but I won't let you beat me in any of those races" she said with a laugh
