Story:

Jane had been preparing Bianca for over an hour.
"Aren't you done yet? It looks like Bianca is asleep." A voice said.
Jane looked up and saw Cleo standing outside the box.
"Hi Cleo. I just want her to look her best."
"She will. Once she starts running." Cleo smiled.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll see you in a minute." Jane got back to grooming Bianca.

Once in the gates, Bianca looked straight ahead, fully focused.
Jane leaned forward, ready for the gates to open.
Once the gates flew open, it was a fast start.
Bianca held a steady pace, although she wanted to run faster and pass the mare next to her.
The mare seemed to fight for the reins and just wanted to go faster.
Bianca and the mare were neck to neck and just wanted to go faster and faster.

Who would pass the finished line first...
