The Breeder's Cup.
It's Saturday is in the female jockeys' locker room getting changed. She is getting changed into Pride and Joy farm's red, white, and gold silks. Inuyasha is at the paddock getting Lady Kikyo ready. Kagome, Shippo, and Kohaku are standing at the rail in front of the grand stand. It's a nice sunny day and the track is listed as fast. Shippo went to the paddock. Inuyasha told Shippo to walk Lady Kikyo around the walking ring.
"Well, well isn't it Inuyasha." said Koga with a smerk.
"I'm not in the mood Koga." said Inuyasha walking away.
Sango walked up to Inuyasha to see he had to say. She know there are four fillies and two mares in the race.
"Ok Sango Lady Kikyo has gate two I want you to keep her in third until the turn for home." instruted Inuyasha.
"Anything else?" asked Sango.
"Yah Rocket Girl is the speed but watch out for Summer Secret and Red Bird." said Inuaysha.
Inuyasha gave Sango a leg up whe nShippo stopped leading Lady Kikyo. Then Shippo led Lady Kikyo to the pony rider. Then Inuyasha and Shippo joined Kagome and Kohaku at the rail. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha's golden eyes and silvery white hair.
"Here are the horses for the Breeder's Cup Distaff." said the announcer.
"Number 1 is Rocket Girl, Number 2 is Lady Kikyo, Number 3 is Black Widow, Number 4 is Summer Secret, Number 5 is Red Bird, and Number 6 is Rain Lady." added the announcer.
Inuyasha, Shippo, Kohaku, and Kagome watched as Lady Kikyo and the pony cantered by. Shippo found out Kohaku is fifteen like he is and they have become fast friends. The horses cantered up to the starting gate where the gate assists waited. The gate assists loaded the fillies and mares into the gate. Inuyasha, Shippo, Kohaku, and Kaome are getting nervis. Kagome looked at Lady Kikyo's past races in The Daily Racing Form. She read that Lady Kikyo had won the first two legs of the filly triple crown. But she lost the last race in the filly triple crown by a nose. Just then Kagome heard "And their off in the Breeder's Cup Distaff!" Lady Kikyo came out of the gate beatufuly. Rocket Girl has the lead followed by Rain Lady. Lady Kikyo, Summer Secret, Black Widow, and Red Bird.
"Which horse is trained by Koga?" asked Kagome watching the fillies and mare run.
"The chestnut mare behind Lady Kikyo Summer Secert." said Inuyasha in a low voice.
On the back stretch Rocket Girl and Rain Lady have the lead. Followed by Lady Kikyo, and Summer Secret, Red Bird, and Black Widow.
"At the turn for home Rain Lady has the lead Rocket Girl is out of it. And here comes Lady Kikyo, Summer Secret, and Red Bird." said the announcer.
Rain Lady is by the rail so Sango brought Lady Kikyo outside a little.
"Come on girl give me what you got!" yelled Sango.
"Down the home stretch they come Rain has the lead but here comes Lady Kikyo and Summer Secert with a late charge." said the announcer with excitment.
Rain Lady's jockey hit Rain Lady on her left side with his wip. The filly drifeted away from the rail and into Lady Kikyo's path. Sango didn't see Rain Lady until it was to late. Lady Kikyo went down on her knees as Summer Secret ran by them. Everbody that was watching gasped. Lady Kikyo got right back up with Sango still on her back. The brave black filly hi her highest gear and crossed the finish line with Summer Secret.
"I hope they're ok." said Inuyasha running toward Lady Kikyo and Sango. Sango is pale and shaking. As Inuyasha ran up to them the announcer said "And the winner is Lady Kikyo."
Sango's face returned to normal color when she heard the announcer.
"Are you ok?" asked Inuyasha as he led Lady Kikyo to the winners circle.
"A little shaken up but fine." said Sango.
Kagome, Shippo, and Kohaku are waiting for them in the winners circle. As Inuyasha led Lady Kikyo into the winners circle she started to limp. After the winning picture in the winners circle. Shipop quickly untacked Lady Kikyo and Inuyasha led Lady Kikyo to the vet barn. Lady Kikyo has on the Breeder's Cup Distaff blanket on. All the winners gets a blanket. The next race is the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies. Tetsusaiga won't race until after the Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare Turf. Shippo put away the tack then he, Kohaku, and Kagome joined Inuaysha at the vet barn. After weighing out and getting changed Sango joined them.
"So have you heard anything?" asked Sango looking worried.
"No we haven't sis." said Kohaku hugging his sister.
"Sango after Lady Kikyo got back up after falling to her knees did she limp?" asked Inuyasha in a worried voice.
"No, no she didn't." said Sango.
"Are you the owner of Lady Kikyo?" asked the vet walking up to them.
"Yes I am how is she?" asked Inuyasha still looking worried.
"I'm afraid she tor a ligament and her muscle and we have to do surgery to repair the damage." informed the vet.
Inuyasha told the vet where he's stableing his other horse. The Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare Turf is being run. Inuyasha and Shippo took Tetsusaiga to the paddock. Sango and Kohaku went by the winners circle to watck the race. Kagome changed into Inuyasha's jockey silks. Then Kagome got weighed then went to the walking ring. When she got there she could see Shippo leading Tetsusaiga around the walking ring. But she didn't see Inuyasha. She loked around until she saw a silvery white glimmer. Kagome walked over to the glimmer and say Inuyasha. He is punching the wall and crying.
"Are you ok Inuyasha?" aske Kagome putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Lady Kikyo means the world to me if something goes wrong and she diess I don't know what I would do." sobbed Inuyasha.
"It's ok Belmont Park has the best vets in the country." said Kagome.
Inuyasha didn't answer he just kept crying.
"Why does she mean so much to you anyway?" asked Kagome.
"Lady Kikyo was born the same day my girl friend Kikyo died." said Inuyasha sadly
"Oh I see." said Kagome felling sorry for Inuyasha.
"Well Diablo is the speed and he is also Koga's horse and watch out for Galloping Gambler." said Inuyasha.
While Shippo held Tetsusaiga still Inuyasha gave Kagome a leg up. Then Inuyasha and Shippo joined Sango and Kohaku.
"Here are the horses for the Brreder's Cup Juvenile." said the announcer.
"Number 1 is Tetsusaiga, Number 2 is Galloping Gambler, Number 3 is Hot Shot, Number 4 is Diablo, and Number 5 is Demon." added the announcer.

Diablo took the lead followed by Demon, Galloping Gambler, Tetsusaiga, and Hot Shot. On the back stretch Diablo and Demon have the lead. Right behind them is Tetsusaiga and Galloping Gambler follwed by Hot Shot.
"At the turn for home Diablo has the lead follwed by Demon and here comes Tetsusaiga and Galloping Gambler." said the announcer.
