Re: Silver Crest Stables: (Zenyattafan122)

[Dark**Light]

I felt so happy to be racing in the Lady's Classic! I hadn't gotten a chance to win it! As I said before I was in an accident after the Breeder's Cup Lady's Classic. (and lost it by a nose!) Anyways I was always wondering who would be my jockey for it. It had always been Ray but now...it was different. I wanted Ray to be my permanent jockey. But no matter, my fame is raising the bar and I have so many fans that come to watch me work. I met one of them. Her name was Jenna. She watched me work one day and she was chosen to meet me personally. She walked up to me and said "I'm your biggest fan!" I looked at her shirt and it said"Girl Power" and a cartoon of me on it. Then it was time for them to load me onto the trailer for the Lady's Classic. I was so scared to be loaded up into the trailer again. I had no clue where we were going. Until Ray replaced the front door of the trailer with a half window half metal door. So many people were looking into the window and taking pictures while someone was driving. But I didn't care. I was going to the Lady's Classic. Then there were some times where I wanted to just have the staring and pictures stop. Although I don't think the big painting on the side of the trailer that stated "Zenyatta" in my racing colors really helped me get that privacy. Even at night there would be the occasional flash of a camera. Though the only thing that kept me from going crazy was the fact that I was going to the Lady's Classic.

The light's light the track up and the horses where paraded to the post. Ray fellt the big mare dance all the way to the gate. A field of 20 horses where to be enterd in the race and all showed. They where number 5 and Ray waited to walk Zenyatta in. As the started reached for the mare's bridle Ray sliped his riding goggles over his eye's and Zenyatta enterd the gate calmly. I sat waiting for the rest fo the field to take off. As they sat quiet the starter pushed down of the button and they where off! (do you want to write the race?)

I heard the bell ring and was just calmly trotting. The commentator said "Zenyatta is just calmly trotting along! I hope she knows what she's doing!" I heard that and started to a steady gallop and got a little bit faster each time he would mention my name. Eventually I stopped hearing my name and realized we were a quarter of the way through the race and we weren't even caught up to the group. i started to speed up and we were eventually at the back of the pack. I then heard the commentator say my name again and sped up slightly. All the fans were screaming my name and saying "c'mon Lady Z your gonna lose if you go at this pace!" Then I saw Jenna. At the exact moment I heard Ray say Alright Zenyatta, Show them what you got!" When Ray said that Jenna had lipped it. She knew what I was doing. Then I raced ahead of the group to the point where I was right behind the first place horse "Glory's Pride". She was fast. But not fast enough. In a few more steps I was ahead of the pack and the commentator mentioned my name thousands of times! Each time he mentioned my name I got faster and faster and faster until I crossed the finish line! I heard the commentator scream "This is unbelievable! Zenyatta has done it again! She won by 17 lengths! She's a Super Horse!" I held my head up high and pranced up the track. Then at the winner's circle I posed for multiple pictures and was given a long flower sash that said "Lady's Classic Champion" I had finally won the Lady's Classic. And I didn't just win, I was the CHAMPION!

Ray tried to urge the mare on when she would not move she stayed last for a while but the crowed kept her moving along. She had come the long way around at the last turn and as she passed the leader she came down the stretch chasing her shadow. Sweeping under the wire Ray stood tall in the iron's. In the winner's circle a blancket of flower's where placed on her shoulder's. The flashing liht's did not seem to bother her. As Allen held the rien's the old owner's of Z watched quietly as the horse they let slip loose stood posing for her pictures. She winned and Allen went to lead her back to the cooling area for a wash and was walked for a hour. When she came back to her stall they palced her new blancket on her back. She was in her stall and Allen awnserd question's as Ray patted her neck. The fan's cloged the stable as they came in to see the amazing horse-

[Dark**Light]

Soon enough all the crowding got to me. I started kicking my stall and rearing and bucking at the crowds. I soon kicked down the door and let out a loud whinny to the crowd. They still took pictures and were still crowding me. I soon ran out of the barn and yet the crowd still followed! Finally I ran past the place where Ray was at and I hope he saw me because otherwise I would eventually hurt one of the people. The crowd followed me where ever I went and it annoyed me so much that I just kept running in the hopes of the crowd getting tired. Well after they got tired they got into their cars and still followed me. I needed Ray to see this...NOW!

[Man O' War Lover]

Groom's tried to corner the mare who seemed ireatatied. Ray and Allen got her in a corner between the clocker's shed and barn. Ray tried to clip the lead onto her halter and talked to her softly. Evintuly they got her in her stall and had security keep the crowed away. Allen gave Z her feed and Ray cleaned her up.

[Dark**Light]

When I saw the stable hands come running up to me I started calming down then when they put the halter on me I felt less crowded and more comfortable. The next day the cover story was "Rouge Race Horse". The News Reporter got a picture of me while I felt crowded and was running from the crowds.. Then Ray walked into the stable and looked at me disappointedly. http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/92553/92553,1204307145,3/stock-photo-brown-horse-running-in-pasture-9972808.jpg

Allen ignord it as did Ray and Sammy the mare would be shiped to race in New York they had he shiping blancket and gear on as they walked her up the air plan ramp-

[Dark**Light]

When I saw the plane I stopped and put my ears down. I stared at Ray and hoped he would realize that I was scared. But he didn't. THen people just pulled me into the plane and locked me in. http://jessicachapel.com/images/zenyatta-dancing-500x350.jpg It was so dark then a few lights turned on.I started to wninny and panic. I was really hoping that Ray and the stable hands would notice and have someone would stay in the dark and dreary place.

[Man O' War Lover]

Ronny and Ray sat in there seat's with the owner's but Sammy stayed in the back to calm Z down. He could not give her to much to drink or eat beacuse she could get sick in the air but she had hay. He brushed her and pat her trying to sooth her-

[Dark**Light]

I was calming down when Sammy came in. Then I saw something that spooked me. I started rearing and panicing. Then I almost kicked Sammy but luckily he had good reflexes and dodged it. I was so scared then I started thinking about Jack. My old rider that died. I lowered my head and was very depressed. Sammy had reminded me of Jack. Jack would usually stay with me while I was in a plane. I lied down and gave a soft whinny before going to sleep. Only to dream about the incident and how Jack went to the hospital and never came back (he died).

[Man O' War Lover]

After a nice plan ride Sammy lead the mare down the plan ramp to the shiping trailer. Ronny stood watching with Ray and the owner's as Sammy loaded her into the traile. They drove to Belmont Park and when taken out of the trailer Sammy took her to walk around Belmont while the other groom's got her stall and stuff ready-

[Dark**Light]

At one point in the walk to the stables a black stallion named Glory's Pride (the same horse from the race) reared and spooked me to the point where I ran so fast that Sammy had to let go of the lead rope. I ran and ran and ran with Glory's Pride running after me. I heard the stable hands calling my name but I was too afraid to turn around. I soon heard another whinny then a second set of galloping hooves. i looked behind me to find another race horse running after me. I stopped and watched as the two horses went whizzing past me. Then I saw them turn around with angry expressions I looked as the stable hands just stood there and watched as the two stallions came galloping towards me. There was only one last thing to do...and that was fight back. I reared up and whinnied then Storm Striker and Glory's Pride came galloping back. They soon started fighting against each other. I watched as the two fought over me then one came galloping over and kept me away from the other horse. Glory's Pride seemed angry when Storm Striker got in front of me. I had no clue what to do and the stable hands couldn't get to me without getting kicked by Storm Striker!

[Man O' War Lover]

The groom's resrained Strom Stricker with the nearest rope and chased Glory's Pride into the clocker's shed. Sammy ran up to Z and lead her to the barn. Allen over looked the mare seeing if she was hurt-

[Dark**Light]

I whinnied to Storm Striker wanting to get back to him. Then I ran over to him and nuzzled him. I now knew why he was in front of me...he was protecting me from Glory's Pride and he loved me. I stood right next to him and was telling him sorry when the stable hands came over and got the lead rope. I did everything I could to stay with Storm Striker. Later that day I found out that he was in the stall next to me. I would keep poking my nose through the slits and nuzzling him. All though on the other hand...Glory's Pride was in the stall on the other side and he would kick and rear and he was so annoying. I was hoping that the stable hands would move him to a different stall. I would keep nuzzling Storm Striker and the stable hands would keep walking by.

[Man O' War Lover]

The groom's moved Glory's Pride and Allen had the horses fed. Z had another race coming up soon-Allen had her in a mile and a quarter race, handicaped. She would race a field of 20 and carry 126 pound's.

[Dark**Light]

I won the next race that I had but just by a nose. But right after the ceremony I raced to the stalls and Storm Striker was gone. I ran everywhere but I couldn't find him. I whinnied for him but heard no reply. I ran into his old stable and lied down there. I felt sad that Storm Striker was gone. I soon was very depressed...again. I though about Storm Striker and put my head down.

It was anouced that Z would be retierd due to her outstanding season they would bring her back to her old farm to be a brood mare. Her groom Sammy would lead her out side to get to know her once apon a time paddock. The farm had ben baought by her first owner's son and she would be breed to a young stallion. Un known to Z ofcourse?

[Dark**Light]

I felt happy that I was going back to the old farm but sad because I later found out that Storm Striker was put to sleep after Glory's Pride had kicked him. I tried to feel happier but to no avail. Then I saw him. It was Storm Striker! He hadn't been put to sleep. In fact he was put into my paddock! I ran as fast as I could to him and reared up in joy at the center of the field. He looked up and ran over to me and nuzzled me. It must have been a miracle that he wasn't put to sleep. I soon noticed the stable hands watching me and Storm Striker. Then another miracle happened. I saw Ray too. I ran to the end of the fence and whinnied. Ray looked at me and ran over to the edge of the fence. I was so lucky and didn't want this to ever end.

(turns out it's all just a dream and she wakes up in the stall of her old farm she started in.)
