First Eastbrook Races

"Race was heaps of fun!"	”

The First Eastbrook Races were a series of races held at Eastbrook Raceway on 4E:148.
The festivities were hosted by Acey and her Archpriest HyperSilence.
It was the inaugural event for Eastbrook, having been constructed by Eris only days prior. The festivities drew twenty-five people, the largest attendance for any such gathering in the Fourth Era.
They consisted of a donkey and mule race, a pig race, and a horse race.
Fireworks were distributed to everyone prior to the races.

The first event was a one-lap donkey and mule race. Riders were allowed time to bring their best donkeys and mules to Eastbrook.
Out of the starting gate, Trancesk8er took the lead with Tohbeh and Ferathmai vying for second place. Despite a slow start, Sprankles reined in his mule and made up lost ground. By the halfway point of the race, he'd taken the lead. Unfortunately, Tohbeh's donkey had exhausted itself and he quickly fell out of contention, getting passed by Print and eventually finishing in the cellar.
Sprankles won by a large margin, ruining the wagers of those who'd placed bets upon the odds-on favorite, Tohbeh.

The second scheduled event was a one-lap pig race. Participants were given time to bring their best pigs out to Eastbrook. 
Panda served as race marshal and pace setter, leading the way on foot ahead of the racers.Out of the gate, Ky took a short-lived lead before surrendering it to Tohbeh, who quickly surged forward. By the first turn, he held a commanding ten pig length lead over second place Sprankles. The rest of the pack trailed far behind. 
On the far straightaway, Ky began to fall behind turning the race into a two man competition. Tohbeh maintained his sizeable lead going into the final corner when Sprankles made his move, rapidly closing the gap. 
With just a second to go, Sprankles passed Tohbeh and crossed the finish line, winning with an elapsed time of 29 seconds.

Each rider was officially announced before the start of the two-lap race.
Amidst blinding fireworks triggered from the grandstand, the gates opened and the first ever horse race at Eastbrook was underway. Ferathmai jumped to an early one horse length lead with Boo and NeonicDolphin right behind him. Panda was fourth, Trancesk8er fifth, and Wojcik and Sprankles were tied neck-and-neck for sixth.
At the end of the first lap, Fera had extended his lead to a comfortable two horse margin. Clustered behind him vying for position was Dolphin in second, Boo in third, and Trance in fourth. The rest of the pack, led by Tohbeh, had fallen behind the leader by nearly five horse lengths.

Fera crossed the finish line comfortably in the lead by three horse lengths, having never trailed, and won with a total time of 19 seconds. Trance managed to gain considerable ground on the last lap and finished second. Dolphin closed out the leaderboard in third place. Panda took fourth, with Sprankles and Boo finishing closely behind.
Fera's record lap time of 9.997 was never broken.
There was a minor dispute regarding second and third place, which was too close to call live. Acey and Hyper waited for photo and video evidence from Tox and Print before announcing the victors.
