The day after the Derby, I woke up to find little gifts scattered around outside my stall. People came and went over the course of the day. Some took pictures, some looked at me, some got my groom to write on pictures. I decided to take the pen from a little girl. I put it to the paper and drew some simple scribble-thing, but the girl was delighted. She petted me quickly, then squealed in delight and ran off. My groom stared at me.

I galloped that day, and the next. I got a few hard workouts, then a few breezes. They had shipped me to another track after my first gallop. I liked this new track. The turns on the track were really sharp and fun! I learned from my groom that it was called Pimlico. Even better, Tower was in the stall next to me! He was going to be racing here soon too!
