Some of the swimmers laugh, and line up. Elsewhere, the racing ponies are lining up at the starting line. Tall Tail's voice is easily heard over the loudspeakers.

Tall Tail: "Mares, and gentleponies. TODAY IS THE DAY YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!"

The crowd cheers.

Tall Tail: "TODAY IS THE RACE WHERE GOLDFIN, AND OUR ATHLETEES YOU KNOW AND LOVE. WILL RACE YOU IN A FANTASTIC WINTER RUN!"

The crowd cheers.

Tall Tail: "PLEASE TAKE YOUR POSTIONS!"

Up on the hills near the race course several members of the Hooves watch intently, a few pulling binoculars out of their picnic baskets.

Inari: "Perhaps. Though what is wrong with those things?"

''Having been hiding in the back rooms of the Rusty Roost for the better part of this morning, a drab and very uninteresting pony steps out into the main room of the bar to see what is occupying the bartender... and possibly order a drink.''
