"And they're off!"
12, high strung thoroughbreds leapt out of the starting gate around Wildfire and his jockey, Kris. The 12 horses powered down the stretch, digging into the soft dirt, trying to get in their favorite position. Kris settled Wildfire in 2nd, behind the front runner, who was setting a blazing pace. "It's Dance with Me in first, followed by Wildfire..."
Kris grinned under her helmet. Wildfire was trying to rush forward and take first place." Steady Wildfire. Save it for the end" she whispered to her horse, as they came around the first turn.

Matt and Jean Ridder(sp?) were watching in the grandstands, yelling their approval of Wildfire's current position. Has they were watching through their binoculars, they saw Wildfire shack his head, then continue on. They both took a deep breathe, then let it out has he continued on down the back stretch.

Wildfire shook his head, and Kris instantly tensed up, ready to pull him up at any time. After he continued on like nothing was wrong, she relaxed a little. Some how, something didn't feel right. "You ok, buddy?" she whispered. Has they came around the turn into the final stretch, Wildfire shook his head again. But this time, he started to falter. Kris tried to pull him up, but he ignored her. He continued plowing on has he closed in on the leader, along with the 10 other thoroughbreds. Then, Kris's worst nightmare occurred: he lost his footing. He went flying, sending Kris off his back, to the outside of the line of running horses, but Wildfire fell right in front of them. Before she blacked out, she saw Wildfire laying in the middle of the other horses path." No!" she screamed, then her pain went away, and everything was still.
