Charlie worries about the odds for the race, Considering that Kris, Matt and Wildfire are untested at this distance. Jean teases about being supportive and Kerry offers $100 on Wildfire to win. Charlie has betting tickets worth many hundreds of dollars for Wildfire to win, supportive "where it counts" he says.

While they wait for the horses to load in the gate, Jean spots Dani sitting all alone in her family's box. She gives her a little wave and looks away, back at the track, where it's one minute to post.
Finally the horses are in and off in a clean start. Kris doesn't exactly hold Wildfire back like Matt asked her to, but she doesn't encourage him to take the lead either. Everyone worries that she won't have any horse left by the time they need it most.

Everyone's worried as the horses hit the home stretch. Through his coaching of the jockies, Matt has put Picaro and Wildfire in a position where either could win. They are neck and neck at the stretch.. nose to nose at the wire. Matt says the winner will be the one who wants it more.. The announcer says it's Wildfire, even though it sure looks like the runner they're saying is Picaro got under first.
With the race over, Jean hurries to the winner's circle to greet Kris. Todd offers her water with his congratulations and Jean celebrates the win on her own for a second...

Before pulling everyone within reach in for a group photo. Nevermind that the trainer hasn't gotten there yet, or that they haven't gotten the horse into postion yet either.

Finally Matt arrives and they get everyone settled for the official winner's photo.

Then everyone starts to head home, happy as clams and all enjoying being a family together.




That's all for this week, have fun at the races and we'll see you all back soon for more images from the Ritter family drama!
