Story:

It was a beautiful hot day in Australia when the team saddled up their two runners for the Inglis Sires' Produce Stakes. They'd shipped their surprise 2YO runner, Demon down under for the Golden Slipper and then on a whim added the lovely Soyala to the field for the 2nd leg of the 2YO Australian Triple Crown. Since her first start on grass had surprised them so much...well they just wanted to see if she could hang with the bigger more experienced 2YOs. And their hope was that she would, and would show that she was indeed her sire's daughter.

In the paddock Demon had to be seperated from the other horses, he was beyond aggressive now and in an effort to keep him calm they saddled him in a quiet corner, away from horses and people, and where he could wear his muzzle. Still...the crowded paddock could hear the high pitched banshee screams from the colt as he fought the restraints put on him. A saddle, his nemsis. The bridle, his enemy. And then Harley pulled himself onto his back and the colt went crazy. He reared trying to throw Harley off his back and then bucked up taking out one of his grooms with a well placed kick right to the jaw. Harley tugged hard on the reins and kicked his heels into the colt's side, Demon tore off up onto the field and away from the other horses where once again he put on the dance of the crazy horse that he was. But at least this way, while Harley fought to restrain him the injured groom could get the attention he needed.

Meanwhile in her stall in the paddock Soyala looked more and more concerned. She danced in place and had her eyes wide like she was terrified of eveyrthing. It was unusual for her, and for the first time she had a different jockey on her back. Colton, eased up into the saddle and rubbed her neck. "Easy sweet little thing, it's going to be just fine. I know, it's big and scary now but don't..." And that's when he heard Demon's screams and lifted his head to see Harley riding like he was on a bat out of hell. "...that horse scares the holy hell out of me." Soyala seemed to agree because she shuddered beneath him and gnawed on the bit.

Once they were on the turf Colton spotted Demon hanging out far far away from the gate, he would be loaded last and they already had the hood and ropes ready for him. It seemed the colt had gotten a bit of a reputation down here! Soyala loaded easy, the second to go in, and she stood still completely until her stable mate was brought to the line. Demon once more reared and this time he kicked the gate, causing Soyala to jump and hit the front of her's with a whinny. Colton got her back under control and she was unloaded for the vet to take a look at while they unceremoniously shoved Demon inside. Back in Soyala went and that's where she waited until the gates snapped open.

Demon wasn't going to miss the jump this time, but he definitely jumped more than necesscary, he rushed out of there and hopped twice to get into stride which allowed the field to get a little ahead of him. Charging for all he was worth he ran after the field with what only could be described as brimstone kicking behind him, because he hit the ground so hard he was throwing puffs of grass behind him and rumbling like a locomotive. The little white filly he'd trained with threw her ears back, hearing him charging behind her and she started to pull herself up, Colton showed her the whip and tried to urge her on but just as she hit stride again something hit her HARD.

There was a whinny and Soyala wheeled to the left, breaking stride and forcing Colton to pull her up sharply. The filly stood there breathing heavily and watching as the Demon rushed forward, onwards after the pack and ignoring the filly he had literally taken out. When one of the outriders came to try and get Soyala and Colton the filly bolted, trying her best to get away from the other horse and fighting against her jockey. In the end she was finally wrestled out of the way but if a horse got near her she would lose her mind and spook...not a great sign for a future racehorse.

As for Demon he just kept right in the race, he wanted to run them all down and he was damned determined to do it. Even with Harley looking all around trying to see what happened to their little filly, and mentally kicking himself for not being strong enough to keep the colt from doing what he had done, they continued to gain ground.
