Mr. Motion trained me hard the next 2 weeks. He had me run 2 miles, which is extremely long for a racehorse, much less a 3-year-old. 2 days after I arrived, Tower arrived too. It seemed Miss Charlotte had changed her mind about where he was racing next. We both had come to realize that every time we changed tracks, we were going to race in about 2 weeks.

The day came, and Tower went out to race before me. I heard the announcer's call:
"Coming down the stretch, To Win and Repeat is pulling away. He's opening daylight as Highflyer tries to make a run at him! These are the bet older milers and the country, and coming to the wire, they can't get anywhere close to To Win and Repeat! The 3-year-old To Win and Repeat wins the Metropolitan Mile by 8! What a performance! Seems the Preakness took nothing out of him!..."
I snorted. Of course he won. He wasn't going to let anyone get by him once he had the lead, just like in workouts.

I was led out for the Belmont, tacked up, walked around, and then we began the walk to the gates.

The field:
(1)Blank Fire
(2)Lemmesee
[Tonalist x Empress of Midway]
(3)Caradhras
(4)Repossess
(5)Aur Top Dog
(6)Fine Line

Last week, my dad got a job offering out in Wyoming, so that's where we moved. I was now miles away from the nearest OTB, and lots farther from the nearest racetrack. We didn't even have wifi at the moment, so the only way I would know anything about Repossess was if I got a job and was able to use their wifi on someone else's computer (since we were in so much debt we had to sell our phones). I had a feeling I wouldn't be seeing any racehorses for a while and I was right. Actually, I underestimated the time it would take me to get back to a track again.

We were in the gates. BOOM! They opened and I shot out, but suddenly, I was bombarded by Caradhras and Aur Top Dog. That jerk Caradhras. I knew Aur Top Dog had gotten freaked out jumped sideways, as he had been pretty nervous in the gate. So the rest of the field left me. I was about 5 behind, but I quickly made up the distance. I made it to the the lead only to find myself boxed in. Ahhh, f them. I wasn't gonna let them get what they wanted, those haybugs. Lemmesee had the lead, and Caradhras was right on him. Coming into the final turn, I shoved myself between the two, and I heard Gary yell from my back, "Gimme room! I need room!" The hole became wider, and i threw myself through it. I didn't notice the pain in my leg.

"Half way down the backstretch, Repossess has broken out from behind! he just shoved Caradhras and Lemmesee apart after being boxed in, and now he's got a gash on his leg! He isn't going wide on the turn like usual! Gary Stevens is trying to ease Repossess back, but now Gary just got the reins pulled out of his hands! The Comeback King is riding with no reins! They're on the turn and Repossess is breaking away! He's got it by 5 already! Fine Line is following him closely, but Repossess denies the challenge and is opening daylight! Repossess by 10, 12, 14 entering the stretch! Fine Line, Lemmesee, Caradhras, and Blank Fire are in a battle for second! But Repossess is out there all alone and still widening! He's got it by 20! He's got 50 yards left to run and...
