And the race is about to begin!
Winner is best total of four rolls, any player rolling ten or less more than his or her skill will have a disqualifying event happen to them (e.g. GM 100 + 9 or Noteworthy 70 + 3).

Benfry pats the neck of his horse nervously as he awaits the signal to begin.

And they're off!
Rhelis the Dothraki (noteworthy) +70 72
Aranya Royce (grandmaster on Capt. Snow) +100 106
'Ser' Benfry Smith 123
Ser Alexander Irwyn 141
Graham Blackwood 87
Ser Brandon Rivers 133
Cedric Lannister 87
Clive Lannister 103
West Payne 159
Ser Roland Royce 120
Ser Daven Hersey 124
Steffan Florent 127
Cinnak Xhan 79
Ser Timm Dayne 207
Immediately out of the gate, disaster strikes. The young Dothraki horse ridden by Rhelis rears and knocks Aranya off of Captain Snow. Both women are unable to continue in the race.
In the lead is the other favorite, Ser Timm Dayne. He guides the red stallion Dornish Sun to the front of the pack and there he stays for the quarter. West Payne on Twilight and Alexander Irwyn on Ivy's Edge trail the leader with Ser Benfrey Smith and Daven Hersey neck and neck behind them.

'Ser' Benfry Smith 123 + 95
Ser Alexander Irwyn 141 + 147
Graham Blackwood 87 + 109
Ser Brandon Rivers 133 + 117
Cedric Lannister 87 + 135
Clive Lannister 103 + 151
West Payne 159 +167
Ser Roland Royce ( 120 + 81
Ser Daven Hersey 124 + 121
Steffan Florent 127 + 129
Cinnak Xhan 79 + 97
Ser Timm Dayne 207 + 204
The riders settle in for the heart of the race. The day is not good to the Royces's however, Roland's Black Ear stumbles on a rabbit hole in the middle of the race and has to be taken off the course limping. Dane and Dornish Sun continue to dominate the field, drawing far far ahead of any opponents. Trailing the pack is the newcomer Cinnak Xhan.

"All right girl, lets try and keep up." Alexander says urging Ivy's Edge forward.

'Ser' Benfry Smith 123 + 95 + 68
Ser Alexander Irwyn 141 + 147 + 139
Graham Blackwood 87 + 109 + 86
Ser Brandon Rivers 133 + 117 + 159
Cedric Lannister 87 + 135 + 148
Clive Lannister 103 + 151 + 115
West Payne 159 + 167 + 135
Ser Daven Hersey 124 + 121 + 95
Steffan Florent 127 + 129 + 104
Cinnak Xhan 79 + 97 + 110
Ser Timm Dayne 207 + 204 + 128
Another disaster as Ser Benfry gets pushed to the side of the course and tangles with a low hanging tree. He too bites the dust.
Ser Dayne and Dornish Sun have an off quarter but their lead is so great that none of the pack scrambling behind seem to be able to close the distance. Only Rivers and Water for Chocolate seem to be seeing any daylight at all.

And to be more accurate, West Payne seems to be ahead of Rivers. He's doing quite nice.

Alexander pushes Ivy's Edge in the final 1/4 , trying to make a move to 2nd or 3rd place.

Timm plays it steady on the final lap and tries not to come close to a fall again...at least unless it looks like someone will catch up.

Ser Alexander Irwyn (master) +90 141 + 147 + 139 + 189 = 616
Graham Blackwood (NPC noteworthy) +70 87 + 109 + 86 + 100 = 382
Ser Brandon Rivers (NPC noteworthy) +70 133 + 117 + 159 + 77
Cedric Lannister (noteworthy) +70 87 + 135 + 148 + 82 = 452
Clive Lannister (noteworthy) +70 103 + 151 + 115 + 114 = 483
West Payne (NPC noteworthy) +70 159 + 167 + 135 + 138 = 599
Ser Daven Hersey (NPC noteworthy) +70 124 + 121 + 95 + 114 = 454
Steffan Florent (NPC noteworthy) +70 127 + 129 + 104 + 128 = 488
Cinnak Xhan (apprentice) +60 79 + 97 + 110 + 145 = 431
Ser Timm Dayne (legendary) +110 207 + 204 + 128 + 181 = 720
First: Ser Timm Dayne on Dornish Sun
Second: Ser Alexander Irwyn on Ivy's Edge
Third: West Payne on Twilight
Last: Graham Blackwood on Driftwood
Ser Dayne and Dornish Sun maintain their wide lead over the competitors but Ser Irwyn and Ivy's Edge put on a solid burst of speed to finish second, followed by Payne and Twilight in third. Graham Blackwood drifts in last but has the satisfaction of knowing at least he finished the race unlike Rivers who fell on yet another rabbit hole in the course and was tossed from his horse, thankfully after all the other horses had passed by.
