Michael:
Tell any other jockey that he had to ride Daredevil and he'd turn white as a sheet. Tell that to Michael Vaughn, and you couldn't force him to get away from Taz. Taz (Daredevil) wasn't just a keyed-up racehorse. He really was nuts, or so some said. But when Michael rode him, he was transformed into a horse with unbelieveable power and speed. "Easy Taz, just breezing today" Michael crooned to the horse, the secret to Taz wasn't to show him who's boss as most riders would with such a wild horse. Taz liked to be babied. Give him what he wants, and he'll pay you back. Big Time. "Good boy Taz, that's all for today, lets go cool down and have a grooming shall we?" Taz nodded slowing to a gental walk, relaxing as he walked toward the exit of the track. Mike noticed several riders riding by that he didn't recognize but he saw Owen and waved, careful not to stir Taz.

Owen: after i signed the papers for Ballerina, i was anxious to take her for a spin. i excused myself from the gathering, and saddled her up. we trotted briskly out to the track. there, i saw Mike and Taz, still jogging around the turf as a cooldown. "Guess What? She's all mine!" i crowed to him, though careful not to upset Taz. i hoped the horse recognized me, as i was usually around his stall, though never rode him.

Theo: "Guess what!!! There might be a HUGE tourney with us and Sterling over MONTE!" I shouted breathlessly at Owen and Mike, who were riding out on the racetrack. I quickly clapped a hand over my mouth when I realized who Mike was riding. Taz was liable to spook at anything and everything- i just hoped that Mike could calm him down, which wouldn't be easy thanks to my utter stupidity.

Owen: i gave theo a mock glare. "it's not official yet, but i can tell it's coming. you guys have heard the boss ranting about how he has to take Sterling down a notch." i shook my head. "i think we should just live in peace, but i'm not the man with the money."

Mike: Taz although uneasy at the commotion didn't spook like he normally would. That's good, I thought. "That's great news about Ballerina Owen! And a competition? Between us and Sterling Stables? You know when I go over there I'm always nice, I don't have anything against them! I think Berryhill should race, Sterling Stables should, um... ride the other stuff. I can't remember what exactly it is they do."

OOC: These are the 'good guys' right? Mike is but just for clarity...

OOC: of course! everybody except Milton, Whitley, and whoever else is an utter snob are good guys! Owen: "they do a bit of everything, but racing isn't their forte. Katie mostly trains endurance and eventing horses, as well as show jumpers." this made me consider Ballerina's potential as a jumper... Milton had told me before that she had too little pushiness to be a racehorse. but steeplechase... a plan began to form in my mind.

Theo: "And, isn't it the fact that THE Sidney Mitchell wants Monte that is starting this whole issue? But, I do think that we should live in peace. And, Mike, that 'other stuff' would be dressage, eventing, and everything else. Racing isn't the world. For everybody but you, that is! People prefer..." I held up my finger in mock enlightenment. "Show Jumping!" I was good at that!

OOC: it's no big but I did change Sids name to Sidney Bristow (I think I forgot to put it in her theard. My bad!) Mike: "Wait a minute, wait a minute. The Sidney Bristow? Do you suppose Milton knows what Sid's dad is? He's one of the BEST racehorse trainers on the east coast! I've read that he practically lives at Church Hill Downs. You know, where they have the Kentucky Derby? The guy's a wiz with horses!"

Owen: i sighed and rolled my eyes, and lifted a pinkie to show that i was supposedly drinking a cup of tea. "Allllll these famous hohhhhhhhhse people know of each uther." i said, in a mock-socialite voice. "i think Milton just wants to show off his power and rub it in Sidney and Katie Sterling's face for all the equestrain world to see."

OOC: Sorry, mia! She is now Sidney Bristow!
Theo: "Of course, there's Monte to be involved, too. Whoever gets him, in theory, gets Sidney Bristow. If I were her, I wouldn't give up a chance to have a horse like that for the world!"

OOC: no big!
Mike: "Yeah, that Montes some horse 'eh? That's ok though, Taz could beat him" I said jokingly, I knew better! "So are you guys gonna ride for BerryHill or are we switching sides?"

Theo: "Berryhill all the way, man!" I bellowed in mock outrage. "Stayin' true to the school." sometimes i shudder at the things- wierd things- that come out of my mouth.

Owen: "yeah, berryhill forever. Milton could take Ballerina's title back from me like that." i snapped my fingers under theo's nose to illustrate.

Mike: "I wonder who Milton'll run in the race? Does Sterling even have a race horse?
