Features: It's another horse race. There's nothing unusual about that; I've participated in thousands like this. There are obstacles to jump over, horses, riders in colorful racing gear, and a sprawling green track stretching for miles. Crowds of spectators jostle along the side of the track, their faces flushed with excitement. I crouch in the stirrups, galloping at breakneck speed, and to me, the spectators are just indistinct pink specks. Their mouths are wide open, and I know they're shouting my name, though I can't hear any sound. They're shouting my name, hoping for my victory.
