AUGUST WORKOUT[/center]
The race was starting soon in a matter of time and the triple crowned son GS Super Charged was to race in the Golden Gate Derby. Chris worked with this colt the most or it seemed try to bond with him more because of his attitude the colt seemed to share with his Sire Admiral's Revenge. It had been months now and Chris was accepted by Ben, the barn name the colt had, and it had appeared GS Super Charged now belonged to Chris not Bowen Acres he just resided there until Chris came for him.
The bay colt cantered beautifully to his human friend from the back side of the stable and nibbled at his shirt. "Hey there Ben good to see your up and at it." Chris said then approached Angela the one was went to the auction to get him. She held the halter while Chris placed the saddle on the colt. "Hope you don't mind me watching out there." She said looking at the jockey with high hopes in her eyes.
"Not at all your the handler, I may have bonded with him Ms. Angela but, no need to ask my permission to watch him run." Chris said than placed the rope under his halter and started to walk Ben out to walk off his nerves of being locked up most of the day. He had ran against big winners older horses a few weeks back and as a 2 year old he was still young learning his speed and strength out their on the track he had quite a few ways before following his Sire's steps to become the next big champion.
Chris hopped up on Ben's back and took the reins in his hands feeling he was on a jet plane ready to take off. "Be careful out there." Angela said stopping just outside the railing of the track. Chris placed his goggles over his eyes his whip in his right hand not that he needed it he simply only showed it to Ben as the urge to move faster and forward. With a simple kissing sound Chris urged Ben to come to a trot moving to the first turn of the track just to get his muscles working kind of like a stretch before every game.
When the turn was over Chris lowered himself and showed Ben the whip and then had the colt race off coming into a full run was like taking off on the runway. Ben flickered his ears and noticed the whiff of the whip next to him and at full speed ahead he was dashing off the back stretch throwing dirt behind him like it was nothing. Chris held on tight holding his mane on the horses neck and Ben changed gears grasping for more track beneath his hooves.
The colt looked like he was doing rather well and Angela was timing every moment. It was magnificent watching these animals run. Ben came up from the last turn to the home stretch and Chris had him slow down after that stretch of track. Ben ran distances on dual surfaces he was prefect on both tracks. The colt came to a slow trot raising his head before prancing like the show off he was. The horse loved to run and then also loved to make a mess of things but, he was an amazing animal.
"I swear between him and Spirit of Joy it's like I'm free but, all of our horses give us a run for our money." He said remaining on Ben's back who was then just standing there looking to the side as if he noticed something. The workout was good but, the track was nice and breezy why go back inside at the moment. Chris then turned the reins and Ben walked forward as a nice walk on the outside would be good. "How about a nice walk Ben?" He said just resting on the colts back while he was walking him off.
