As I stood in my stall at the

familiar neigh. It was Nellie,
my best friend in all the world.
From the talk Of the grooms

was entered in the race with me.
I also heard that she and I were
the two favorites. I knew had
more endurance than she and
could win If I wanted to. I was

to lose for Nellie.
When we were led to our start

next to me and that Flame. fast

other side. Nellie saw me and
flicked her tail and neighed at
me. I had almost decided to lose
for Nellie and was slowing down,
when, at the home stretch Nellie
turned. shook her name. and
neighed at Flame. Then I looked
over at my master by the rail, in
his shirt with a frayed collar,
wringing his hands and pleading
with me. My mind was made I'D.
Using all my strength I pulled
