"Well I would be here anyway. My dad was FORCED out of the acre's we worked at. It went bank rupped." She looked at his picture. She handed it back to him. "Well We should get the rest of those boxes they wont walk up here I expect."

He chuckled. "Not unless your a witch and I'm a wizard who can use our magic wands to cast spells to get them here. Accio Boxes!," he said. "Naw, I doubt that would happen. Well, we'd best get them all in here before dusk the next day." He get up, putting his hand out to help the girl up.

She took it and said, "That is what we need right now. Magic would really help. Why don't you stay for dinner? I'm gonna watch the keeneland stakes and my dad will be getting pizza for dinner."

"Sure. I'd love to," he said, somewhat glad. Justin stepped out for a few minutes, returning with a few more boxes. He placed them down. "And I could help you re-decorate if you like. Everything goes faster with more people."

"Sure you can help with the T.V. Room. Thats all we need tonight. I can sleep on a mattress in my room." She said going for a sadalite box. She took out a big t.v.. "Can you get that side? We can put it on a dresser in the t.v. room. That way." She said pointing behind her.

"Sure," he said. He helped her carry the TV, and they placed it on the dresser. A few hours passed, and it was time for dinner.

The door bell rang and she jumped from the small chairs to the door. "You ordered three pizzas?" He said.
"Ya," She handed him the money and closed the door. She set the pizza boxes on the floor between them. She changed the channel to Racing T.V.. "Look you see that horse there?" She said pointing to the screen at a silver black horse. "Thats Serious Shine. He won the Kentucky Derby twice and was named horse of the year. He's going to run against Pride in the Jockey's Gold Cup next month."

"Yeah," said Justin,"I've heard about him. Man, I wonder why he's so fast... Must have a heart the size of his head or something. He's even better than Ticket, and she's a pretty dang fast horse. About the second fastest horse I know, besides Pride and Princess..." He looked at the TV screen. "Geez, I just hope that no one gets injured. That would be really bad... Some horses can get bad leg and hoof wounds from racing..."

"I heard that when he was a colt that when he was born he was born too late and his mother died. Shame it was her first Foal too. But anyway Hhe was the fastest growing horse in Barkwood Stables. He was the most successful horse they ever owned. But that's just talk." She looked at the screen. The horses were in the gates and then they flew open. Serious Shine was out fast and was in lead. He was a length ahead now and no horse would catch him not at that speed. "Jeese! They just started and they haven't even let him out!" She gasped.

"Look at him go! Man, I bet that horse would sell for near a 5 hundred million dollars. Maybe a load more. Just imagine if he had any foals! Maybe if Emily bred Ticket to him, it would result in an even faster foal? But the stud fee would be huge...," he said. "That horse is either extremely aerodynamic, or is pumped full of equine steroids..."

"Thats what I was thinking but they have to do a blood test and get urine samples." She watched him get to the turn and shoot off. The camera could barely keep up.
"Holy fishpaste!" her father said. "That horse HAS to be on steroids! That is not possibly possible!"
"That is insane! Poor Pride! He wont keep up will he?" She said. "What about Princess! She wont make it on that rider she's assigned to!" She gasped he was 10 lengths ahead now and the late closers were fighting for second.

"He's even faster than that one horse that last held the highest records... What was his name... He beat all three races... Oh, what was he called... It started with S... Anyway, turns out his heart was 1/3 bigger than any normal horse's, which explains a lot...," he said.

"Yes but if I'm not mistaken he looks like the jockey is scaring him." Mr.McLean said staring at the screen.
"You no what I think you're right! Serious must be afraid of something on the track!" Sammy said. "You see the horses reaction Justin? Look he's all sweaty, and he wanted to bolt before they even ran the race. I thought he just wanted to run," she said.
Serious burst out more and more speed his coat lathered in sweat. He was 3 furlongs ahead of the track. He burst out more and was simply a blur. He ended the race 3 and a half furlongs ahead of the field. He was still running when his jockey slipped off and fell.
"Oh my..." She almost cried for the jockey to be throne from that horse at that speed. He didn't move as the ambulance started over. They were zooming in on the motionless body. "I hope he's ok!" She said. The horse was still running when a few groom leaped in the ring and blocked his path. He slowed and trotted to a red head and he lead him back to his owners.

"Oh God. Something tells me he won't be getting paid for his win. I wonder why Serious got so nervous?" Justin said. He shook his head. "I just hope no one gets hurt during the Kentucky Derby. You're going to be on Pride aren't you?" Terott asked her.

"Yup." She had a weird feeling that somehow something was going to happen during the Kentucky. She shook her head and turned off the tv as they zoomed into the horse that was soaking in sweat.
