Micheal watched Maya run toward he and Vegas, Vegas paid no attention"I think she will be fine, but she was beaten, she used to be unbeaten and now..she won't ever race again" He said and hugged her, his face nearly burning red.
Vegas groaned in pain and rested her now casted leg"You go get ready to race, you guys are next, i will go get her settled in the trailer" He said and lead her slowly toward where the trailer was parked"I can't bare to see you actually calm" He mumbled to Vegas as he kicked the stones beneath his boots, the paparazzi crowded around and took several pictures, the veterinarians pushing them away from the injured filly who limped along next to Micheal.

Amy's tear's ran down her face, she let go of him. "I-I'm so sorry.." She said, trying to console the lost Micheal. Amy then looked towards the filly, "It's okay girl...." She cooed to Vegas as she stroked her fine head. She then heard Micheal tell her to go get ready. "Alright...." She replied uncertainly and ran to the trailer, grabbing Lithium and pull on her helmet. As she walked by Micheal she waved, some paparazzi snapped a couple pictures, but turned back to Vegas. Amy led her stallion to the track, they admited her in and showed her his cage. She hopped up onto him, and rode him in, all the other horses were rattling their cages, but Lithium stood stock still. The buzzer screamed out, the horses leaped out of their holdings. Amy slowed Lithium down till he was last, and as she asumed, Black Fire Steam was using her energy for the first lap, and was a few strides infront of Wiskey Lullaby. The second mile was approching, Lithium moved up to second last. Amy cried in horror as a big stallion took a sharp turn, and swung into Black Fire and knocked both him and the other down. She turned Lithium so he wouldn't step on the fallen Thoroughbreds. Kicking him on, it was the last strech, he was in the lead. She then kicked him harder, soon he was going as fast as he could. They passed the finish line first, as the camera snapped a picture. "Lithium Energy came in first!" yelled a loud speaker. The paparazzi gathered around her, but Amy wasn't to happy. Lithium was in glee, but felt Amy's uneasiness, and snorted...[/color]

Micheal did not bother to watch the race, through the whole race he sat on the open trailer ramp just stroking Vegas, as if he had gone mad. He ran a hand through his hair and looked away from the lame filly, her head hanging low as if she were in a ton of trouble.
When he heard the announcement that they had won Micheal perked up a little bit and untied Vegas, he lead her around the large, stone side walk, people stopping and giving their hope for Vegas and some kids were even crying for her, she had fans, she was known as The Spunky Filly who fought for the win. The filly looked as if she were already drained out and there was no more spunky soul left in her dropped body as she strolled along next to Micheal, she was usaully side stepping in a quick trot and nibbling his shoulder, but now, she did not even bother with showing affection, just shame.

Amy swung off her stallion, and led the sweating bundle towards her's and Micheal's trailer. She saw him sitting on the ramp, lost. another lost soul, racing is such a dangerous sport.. she sighed, and sat beside him. "Hi. Feeling glum?" she asked the obvious. Lithium looked downwards, seeing Vegas and snorted. "Pal, why's your leg bandaged? You sshould be on the track, doing what you love most." Lithium's eyes spoke to the broken mare. The mare looked fragile to Amy, like if she touched her, the remaining parts would tumble to the floor..

Micheal looked to Amy and nodded"You should get to the winning circle" He said and slid off Vegas's saddle and saddle blanket and load it into the truck, than he came back out holding her gold plated, double stitched leather halter and took off her bridle and slid it on and clicked her lead shank onto it. He pat her neck"Can't wait to see your foal, it will be beautiful, and i will have a foal to continue your racing" He said, Vegas's head swaying back and forth.

Amy gave Micheal a side-ways glance. "Allright, I'll be right back.." She grabbed Lithium's red and black blanket and clipped it up. She also grabbed his matching leadrope and halter, replaced his tack with them and then trotted him to the winner's circle. "Heres the winner of the 2007 colts, Lithium Energy!" Yelled a voice over a speakerphone. Lithium shook his big black crown and put his arched neck down a little so they could slip a golden medal around his neck. A man passed Amy a golden cup intitled, Lithium Energy and Amy Lee, 2007 grandchampion colt race. Amy smiled and when the big crowd allowed her, she led Lithium out of the circle and back to the trailer, reporters trailing her and snapping many photos. She packed her stuff up, grabbed her bag and sat beside Micheal again. "Want a blueberry muffin? I made them myself!" She pulled two big blueberry muffin's out of a bag and offered one to her depressed friend..[/color]

Micheal also walked into the trailer at the same time as Amy and grabbed Vegas's red and blue blanket and put it on. He watched Lithium and Amy get the medal from a distance and sighed, he looked back to Vegas, she was nothing now, just a lifeless filly.
He pat her neck as Amy and Lithium began on their way back to the trailer and lead her to the end of the ramp, for once in a few hours her head lifted and she looked around bewilderedly, as if she had been asleep, she tried stepping on her shattered leg and quickly realized she would never do that for a while.
A man walked up to Micheal, looking to the injured filly with a faced filled with grief"Hey i saw your accident kid, that filly still tried to win for you, i saw it, don't you ever give her up, she may one day become something again."[/i]"Don't worry, this filly won't be going anywhere" Micheal said smirking slightly"Mind helping me get her in this trailer so she does not need to put to much pressure on her leg?" He asked he man and as if embarrassed his grief filled face lit up and he cleared his throat"Yeah, of course kid, i would do anything to help you with this filly"[/i] He said and slipped a business card into Micheal's small pocket on his shirt.
Then the man walked up to the side of Vegas and as Micheal began to lead her in he began to push, she walked slowly up the ramp and soon was in the trailer. Micheal go her ready for the ride home with food and water, he handed her a treat and opened the small window until it was time to go"Thanks" He said finally walking back to the tall man now sitting on the ramp"Don't mention it, I'm Tom" He introduced and held out a hand, Micheal shook his hand"And i know who you are, no need to introduce yourself, it's like i already know you"[/i] He said joking around and Micheal laughed for a few minutes"Well, i better get going. my trailer buddy is coming to load and we are off, and Vegas is going to get bred tomorrow by Lithium"He said very exited about tomorrow. "That foal will be a fine one, I'll see you later kid, give me a call if you need anything" He said and slowly pivoted on his heels and walked away, Micheal waved and dropped his hand back down to his side, slapping his leg. He pulled out the card from his pocket and read'save that racehorse' and in finer text on the bottom it said'injured racehorse care' Micheal smiled and looked up to Tom walked away, he put the card away as Amy and Lithium grew closer and walked next to them with his fists stuffed in his pockets. Soon he was sitting on the ramp waiting for Amy. He took the muffin and looked at it a while"I'll eat it later, when i am more hungry, looks good though" He said and walked to the driver seat and hopped in,"I'll wait in the truck" He said and closed the door, and about 2 minutes later his finger were tapping to the country music.[/sup]

"Okay, and thanks! I made them last night!" Amy replied to Micheal as he went into the truck to wait. Amy led Lithium up the ramp with no effort and saw Vegas in one of the stalls. "Hey there girl, Maybe some day you'll bloom again, and take that trophie that should have your name on it." She patted the mare and turned to the tired Lithium. She opened the second stall with a name plate that said "Lithium Energy" on it and led the colt in. He was turning 4 soon, and he was going to sire his very first foal! Amy was excited, she took a curry comb and rubbed the sweat of his back. Soon she was closing the trailer door and hoping into the truck. "Hi, me and Lithium are ready!" Amy told him, and relaxed a bit. She kinda wished they didn't come to the races today, and maybe Vegas, wouldn't have a shattered leg. Amy sighed..[/color]

Vegas snorted and looked to Amy, she grunted and continued to favor the hind quarter that she had shattered. As Amy walked toward the truck Micheal watched in the mirror and started it, a vet jogged toward his window and he rolled it down"Can i help you sir?" He asked and the Vet caught his breath"Bring your truck to the horse care trailer please, she need to put Vegas in something so she does not need to rest on her shattered leg, it will be allot more comfortable for her that way"[/i] He spoke and Micheal nodded"Mind closing her window please?" He asked and the vet closed the small window and walked back to the care trailer.
Micheal looked to Amy"This should only take a moment" He said driving forward to the horse care trailer. In at least 20 minutes the doors in the trailer were closing again, Vegas had now fallen asleep in the large sling they set up and Micheal hopped into the truck again"Alright, let's get home" He said and began to drive home, again.
