Seabiscuit Vs. War Admiral (runners up)

Perfect vs. Underdog
Nerviously churnning and turning at the starting line
hoofbeats thumping and claping in time.
Biscuit takes the lead
followed by Kurtsinger on his trusty steed. (Will)
The two horses crammed in as close as they could to the track fence. Seabiscuit's muscles bulged out as he lunged across the track. Curving around the first turn. The two racers ripped the soil off the ground leaving it a cloud of dust behind them. (Ciana) George Woolf, who sat on Seabiscuit was focused on the course, visualizing every speck and turn. he had memorized the many tactics; Red Pollard had told him about the magnificent horse, Seabiscuit. The bell rang echoing across the stands. Seabiscuit and War Admiral dug their hooves into the track.(Juliet Savage) They scratch at the ground with precisiously the same pace. Then Seabiscuit snatches the lead with uncommon grace. with his eyes bulging greatly, War Admiral tries to catch up, but George Woolf knows what he's doing and doesn't let up. The corner comes on fast and Seabiscuit takes it with ease. (Lincoln Massie) Intently slowing down to be even with War Admiral. They go on. One will be ahead by a nose. Then the other.(Sarah Weber) The two horses were neck and neck again, and they had banked it around the corner superbly . The battle was joined, the grand stands were shaking. (Nicole Wall) While the jockeys are clinging to their noble steed, the horses end up side by side, while the rail unwinds and hums behind them. As the ears are cocked up, dirt is flicking intently behind the speedy horses. Closer and closer, the murmuring and shouting is intense when Woolf is pushing himself to go faster and faster than War Admiral and his anxious jockey.(Hailey Bicknell) It was time. Woolf let Seabiscuit loose leaving three words "so long, Charley!' and with that Seabisuit's slender, muscled body accelerated. The crowd was loosing control, screaming Seabiscuit's name.(Davis Hubb) But War Admiral wouldn't go down without a fight. He uncoiled his legs, floating over the soil, the rail humming under the body of the colt. His nose bulged out as the last exhale forced out. He was too late. (Josh McCracken) The announcer's voice was astonishingly high by now. They were on the home stretch by now, and War Admiral was failing as Seabiscuit's eyes bored into his. "Come on, Pops, yah". Woolf encouraged Seabiscuit forward. "Seabiscuit by one, two, three, Seabiscuit by three!" The announcer squealed in a high pitch.  (Brandon Caldbeck) In each increment of acceleration, Seabiscuit gained one length lead then two then three, then finally four as he passed the final pole, winning the race. (Janeigh Lowry) Commotion and excitement drifting through the air. Seabiscuit had beaten War Admiral. Seabisuit was no doubt, the fastest horse.(Mady Commers)
