CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The horses bolted forward.

Fans stood and roared as the teams dashed down the track, kicking up clouds of dust.

“Notice how the crowds are biggest at each end of the stadium?” Kyniska shouted to Abby and Doc. “Everyone wants to see the turns—where most of the crashes happen.”

The horses barely slowed as they rounded the first turn. Sure enough, one of the carts skidded sideways and slammed into the low wooden wall around the track. The driver sailed into the crowd.

Abby and Doc jumped up and down—both with excitement and to get a better view.

“Go, Amelia!” Abby yelped. “I mean, Earhart!”

But Earhart was falling behind. As she rounded the stone pillar and started back up the track, several teams pulled past her.

At the front of the pack, drivers screamed at their teams. Competing horses slammed their sides against each other, fighting for position. One chariot side-swiped the chariot next to it, the wheels grinding together.

Both drivers lifted their whips and starting whipping each other.
