The sound of hooves thundering on the hard dirty ground could be heard for quite a distances. And the dusty from the dirty danced gently in the wind as it raised to the sky. The sound of whinnies could be heard from time to time. A black filly can thundering down the home turn to the stretch. And as the horses flew by the finish-line, the crowds roars and cheers carried on.

A buckskin paint flew across the finish line after her.As the were slowing down,the paint,Angel moved up beside the black."Nice run,Belles.We kicked tail."She said,though knowing it was more Eight Belles victory.From the sidelines came one of the weirdest whinnies anyone had ever heard.It was a zebra whinny,and it came from Stripes,a resident at the stables where Eight Belles and Angel stayed."Nice job."He said loudly.

"Thanks," Eight Belles whinnied back. She looked to Angel. "You're doing better each time," Eight Belles said. "I know you're only going to get better."

"Thanks."Angel said.Stripes watched as the two fillies slowed to a walk.He sighed.He wanted to race too,but with a world full of people and horses like Bandit,he'd never have a chance.It was nice that the humans let him come to watch though."That'd be great."He said out loud.

Some humans came and took the two fillies to the stable to untack them.

Angel shook her body slightly as the saddle was taken off.The cool breeze felt good on her wet back.

Eight Belles relaxed. "Be glad you don't have a black coat in this heat," she said.

"I am."She said."No offence,it is pretty."Angel said.She then picked up a new topic."So what's the deal with that,Stripes fellow?I've never seen a horse like him."

"Oh, him. He's on of the locals pets. He's a different kind of horse. He loves to watch the races though. I think he's called a Zebra," she said.

"That's a cute name for a breed.What's Bandit's issue with him?He always stands there,making him mad."Angel said.

"Like I said, he wants to race. Bandit thinks that only Thoroughbreds should race, but of course he feels differently about you," Eight Belles teased.

Angel turned up her nose."That's pretty unfair.Any breed should be allowed to race.I've watched Stripes in the pasture,he's pretty fast."

"I know, but the humans want to keep it the way it is," Eight Belles said.
