DIRTY DIANA
Melanie shivered and pulled the collar up on her jacket. The young gray filly flicked her ears back and forth between Melanie and the horses on the track. The track was bustling with activity this morning and Diana was ready to get going. Melanie smiled. Diana has been on a little break from racing and will soon be competing against tough competition again. Kirsten didn't like to over race her two year olds so their racing schedule has been pretty light compared to the older horses but usually halfway through the year they running a bit more.
Melanie urged Diana on to the track and she moved on in excitingly. Usually they did most their training at home but Kirsten said Melanie was welcome to run Diana with some company from the track. That was not something that ARS did often. They usually just ran their horses against their own for practice.
This gave Melanie a chance to check out their competition up close. She was actually excited but nervous too. She scanned the track and wondered who to approach...
