"Really? Really? Really?," Blink was shaking and twitching slightly. "Hadn't noticed."

They got to the gates and Race jumped off, pulling Blink off and tumbling into a bunch of boxes outside Sheepshead. "OW!"

One of the boxes, stacked on the top, fell on Blink's head. "AHHH! DARKNESS!" He ran around in circles and ran into a wall.

Race led Blink right to the edge of the tracks, by the gates,he shoved the ticket in his pocket,bouncing on his feet, "C'mon..let 'um out..c'mon.." he muttered,as the gun went off and the horses came out of the gates, the announcers voice moving ninety miles a minute as he told who was ahead,who was lagging. Race got a slight adrlinaline rush and started screaming for Clifford to get the lead out of his pants.

By the third lap,Racetrack was fixing to scalet he fences,he was standing on the fence,screaming himself hoarse,when....Clifford broke the ribbon,it trotted into the winners circle,attacking the water trough with enthusiasum, Race nearly fell off the fence out of joy. He turned to Blink and hugged his friend, "WE WON!" he yelled,jumping up and down, "WE'RE EATIN' GOOD TONIGHT!" he started laughing hysterically.

Blink was a bit dazed. Everything happened so fast but then he realized what had happened and started bouncing up and down with Race.

Race nearly fell out in the middle of Sheepshead Bay, "Be careful wit dat kid." Marty said, "Lotta people might want it." Race nodded,staring at the money in awe. "Lookit dis Blink.." he said,showing Blink the bag.
