===============================================================
                            The Derby

                 A Parable for Melanie On Control

         There were really only three horses in the field who were
of the caliber of previous champions.  They were all beautiful
horses, but beauty among horses is much less rare than the poise
and breeding that true champions are made of.

        It was not surprising, therefore, that when the race had
been run, the winner had come from this group of three.  What WAS
surprising to most observers was the events that transpired during
the running of this historic event.

        The smart money was placed on horse number four on the
program, Melvin's Lair, an exceptionally strong and spirited animal
who seemed to have no match when it came to outright speed.  While
he was often difficult to control, he was always a joy to watch
run.

        Horse number eight on the program was the most beautiful
animal in the field, another headstrong filly called Whisteria. 
Whisteria had earned her place in the derby by simply running away
from her opponents in the previous races in which she had been
entered.

        The third of the standouts was horse number three, an
animal whose breeding showed in every fibre of its being.  Its
markings and shadings were perfect in every way, and while it
possessed neither the blinding speed or the indominable spirit of
the other two, Stuart's Pride stood head and shoulders above the
rest of the field.

        At the sound of the starting bell, Melvin's Lair lurched
hard to the left, driving the jockey into the side of the starting
gate and knocking him from his perch.  Clinging tightly to the
reins, the jockey held on for dear life as the totally out of
control speedster drug him wildly behind.

        Whisteria, whether startled by the events occuring around
her, as some later surmised, or whether due to some quirk of fate
itself, stumbled going into the first turn, tossing her rider
completely out of the saddle and under the pounding hooves of the
horse to the right of them.

        In the midst of all this tragedy and confusion, Stuart's
Pride was being held back, reined in tightly by the savvy jockey in
his saddle.  As the field entered the backstretch and the horses
began to settle down some from the excitement of the start, Pride's
jockey began giving the horse his head bit by bit, allowing him to
gain steadily on the others in a controlled fashion.  In a final
quarter that would surpass all previous records, Stuart's Pride
became the Derby's winner, finishing in what appeared to be an easy
six lengths over the next horse.

        As the somewhat astonished fans began filing from the
grandstands, an older gentleman, who had obviously bet on the wrong
horse, tossed his tickets in the air and expressed with wisdom and
disgust:  "One things for damned sure!  They ain't never been a
horse that won the derby without a jockey in the saddle, much less
a- pulling him along behind!"

    Melanie, my pet, your beauty and spirit are unassailable facts. 
The question you must answer, not for me, but for yourself is: 
What path leads to the victory you seek?

   Master Wade
