equestrian tack, show halter I’m not much for horse racing so when a friend came over and made me flip the channel over to some historic jockey race I was hesitant. He explained a female horse was about to have possibly her 20th win in a row. This was history. For one she was a Mayer and had the equestrian tack to prove it. With a pink show halter and a focused jockey the two marched onto the track and received a huge ovation. She had won 19 races in a row and was favored to win again. Genetically she was a freak. Her heart was larger than normal, her frame covered in muscle and she had a knack for turning on the after burners around the last turn.

The gates opened and she took last place by a lot. I figured it was over before it started but my friend was still confident. It was easy to make out her pink equestrian tack in the crowd as she made a move with less than half the track remaining. 50 yards left and she was a horse length behind first. In a photo finish she lost by a single stride.
