The pristine blue skies boast of no blemishes, the sun is beaming at its opulent best and the tepid midsummer air gently careens the blades of the lush green grass that has spread out in its greatest grandeur over the rich expanse. This serene environs is startlingly surprised with loud peal of the bell, the gates fling open and galloping out come the horses, suddenly the air is filled with resonating sound of people shouting their hearts out from a distance only to be outdone by the impairing sound of hooves. The hitherto placid locale is now the hub of feverish anticipation and excitement. The steeds galloping at their athletic best, flexing every muscle in their body, hasten towards the all-important end. The equines and their riders putting in their all to come up trumps is sheer poetry in motion. Nearing the home post the field is well sorted out and the top three horses are seen fighting every blade of grass for supremacy. The boisterous cheering from the crowds manages to seize the moment by overpowering all other auditory expressions. And, as the winner passes the winning post the crowd erupts into a rapturous frenzy chanting the name of the conqueror with feverish delight.
