Kewsithydemon: Thank you for your reviews. No Desert Rose isn't anyone from the feudal era. She's just a filly that races against Sango.

Chapter 3

Racing Sango.

four months later Sango, Kagome, and Musashi are back at home. The black filly has already won two races. Sango easily won both races. She ran away from her competition like they were standing still. Sana is starting to compare Sango to the great Ruffian. The Breeder's Cup is in October so Sana. Is thinking about entering Sango in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies. Before they knew it's two weeks before the Breeder's cup. Sana, Izumi, Souta, Kagome, Mark, and Musashi are at Churchill Downs. Sana has a horse in the sprint, filly and mare turf, mile, and the juvenile fillies. They are at Churchill Downs because the Breeder's Cup is being held at the famous track.

Right now Kagome is jogging Sango. She is enjoying the sight of the grandstand. Just then a horse appeared next to Sango. Kagome looked and saw a man riding Desert Rose. She rolled her eyes she knew the jockey is Zack. Zack said "I'm surprised Sana's letting a rockey like you ride a classy filly like Sango in the juvenile fillies." Kagome said "I'm riding Sango because Aunt Sana's other jockeys are busy." The man snorted and said "There are other better jockeys around to ride Sango." Kagome finally got mad and said "Buzz off Zack Sango and I will beat you and Desert Rose." Zack just shook his head and had Desert Rose gallop off.

It's four days before the Breeder's Cup. Right now Kagome is riding Sango at a local farm. To satisfy Sango's love for jumping. Sana has been taking Kagome and Sango to her friend Marry's farm. Marry breeds and jumps show jumping horses. So Kagome is taking Sango over the jumps in Marry's homemade show jumping outdoor ring. After Kagome was done jumping the filly She cooled the filly down then found her aunt. Marry gave Kagome a box and said "Go ahead honey open it." The young woman opened the box and saw a pink bridle. Kagome smiled and said "Thank you Marry I'll put it on Sango the day of the race." It's the day of the race. Izumi, Souta, and Sana are watching Musashi tack Sango.

He put on the pink bridle on the black filly. In the locker room for female jockeys. Kagome is getting changed into Sana's blue and purple silks. When she was done changing she went to the walking ring. There she found her aunt, mother, and bother. Kagome looked and saw Sango the black filly has her pink bridle on. Sango has the blue number 3 blanket under her saddle. Just then they hear someone say "Riders up." Musashi helped Kagome get up on Sango. Mark the trainer appeared and said "Electra is the speed. Watch out for Desert Rose and Savannah." Kagome nodded and rode Sango toward the track. The rest of the family went into grandstand to watch the race.

While the fillies walked in front of the grandstand. The announcer said "Here are the fillies for the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies. Number 1 is Electra, Number 2 is Victoria, Number 3 Sango, Number 4 is Texas Cowgirl, Number 5 is Desert Rose, and Number 6 is Savannah." With that said the fillies warmed up. After warming up the fillies went to the gate. Once at the gate assistance loaded the fillies into the gate. Soon all six fillies are in the gate. Just then the gate opened and all six fillies ran out.

Electra took the lead followed by Texas Cowgirl, Sango, Desert Rose, Victoria, and Savannah. The horses ran down the home stretch and turned onto the back stretch. Now Electra and Texas Cowgirl have the lead. Followed by Sango, Desert Rose, Savannah, and Victoria. At the turn for home Sango, Desert Rose, and Savannah made their moves. The three fillies are neck and neck not wanting to lose. Zack yelled "You two are going down! Let's go Desert Rose!" With that said Desert Rose changed leads and ran off. Kagome yelled "Don't let them get away Sango!" The black filly changed leads and caught up with Desert Rose. Savannah also changed leads but she can't keep up with Sango and Desert Rose.

The crowd is going in the grandstand. Both Sango and Desert Rose crossed the finish line together. Kagome pulled up Sango and started cooling her down. Soon the announcer said "This is a historic moment right now I believe. This is the first time that the Juvenile Fillies has had a tie." The crowd went wild as Sango and Desert Rose went into the winners circle. An hour later Sango is cooled down and has had a bath. Sana is standing next to Mark and asked "Do you think Sango can beat the colts?" Mark said "The way she ran today I would say yes. I think we should nominate her for the triple crown."

Kagome, Izumi, and Souta said "That would be awesome." Musashi said "I don't know mom the colt that won the juvenile looked like a champion." Mark said "Musashi no colt that has won the juvenile. Has gone on to win the Kentucky Derby. Plus I believe that Sango can win." Once back at Sana's farm Kagome put Sango in her stall. Kagome gave Sango her food with treats in it. She smiled and said "You were great today girl. I think you can beat the colts too." After talking to Sango Kagome left the barn and went to the house.
