Ashley put Alex in cross ties and began to groom him then she put the racing saddle on his back-Alex began to prance in place he knew he was going to run Ashley finished by putting his bridle on and then unclipped the lead shanks and lead him to the track.
Alex was getting excited now he was about to load into the gate he tried to retain himself from galloping into the gate-it was just a workout he said to himself "alright" ashley told denis her trainer and he open the gate and started his timer
Alex began to gallop his heart out but ashley held him back a bit she wanted his best time but if he was to race in a couple of days he couldn't blow himself out "woah boy" she told him and he slowed just a little they were coming around the far turn now ashley gave him all the rein that was there and he found his top nouch she gave him a little knead with her hands to see if he would go faster,he responded with yet another nouch of stride and then they were under the wire
after cooling out alex ashley asked Denis how they did but she already knew it would be his best time yet he made it under the wire in just over 1 minute "yes" ashley said and walked alex back to his stall and fed him a pepermint "what a good boy you are"
