Quickhooves was the first Hippogriff out the gate, and he took off like a rocket, basically leaving a red trail of sparks for the others to follow in. The hippogriff squawked loudly and turned his head to look at the others trailing behind him, wondering why they weren't hurrying away from that cannon sound???

Winnerwings and Tailfeathers were neck and neck with Quickhooves, with Winnerwings trying to nip at Tailfeathers' neck as they gained some ground on Quickhooves. Tailfeathers heard people spurring him on and resisted the urge to kick Winnerwings in the side. Rude hippo.

He let out a little, "CaCAWW!" and made eye contact with the Gryffindors, picking up the pace to pass Quickhooves as they rounded the first turn.

Eagleye and Talonfingers, meanwhile, brought up the rear, with Talonfingers being just slightly behind Winnerwings as they all made the turn. Eagleye started to fall further behind as his eagle eyes caught sight of a yummy-looking hawk flying over the forbidden forest. With a loud caw, the hippogriff took off from the track, abandoning the race and all who had betted on him in favor of a good snack.

"Well there goes Eagleye!" shouted Williamson with a chuckle, his hand shielding his eyes as he watched the progress of the hippogriff. "Sorry ladies," he offered toward the Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw who had bet on him, "but I doubt Eagleye will be back in time. Looks like he thought chasing a hawk was more important than winning a race!" And even if the hippogriff did return, he was disqualified, so.

He chuckled some more and turned back to the race, clapping loudly as Talonfingers caught up and passed Winnerwings, while Tailfeathers and Quickhooves were neck and neck, nearing the finish line.

"GO HIPPOGRIFFS GO!" William called out impartially. "WHO WILL IT BE? Looks like....."

POOF! The wizarding camera rigged up at the end of the line captured the image of the four remaining hippogriffs, all of which finished the race panting a bit. William ignored the winner's photo, moving instead to lead the hippogriffs over to a trough of water and then back into the stalls. Then he grabbed the photo and shook it as it developed, revealing the winner.

"Congratulations.... TAILFEATHERS!" he announced loudly. "Kurumi, Adam, and Tiffany all get double tokens!" Williamson beamed, oddly proud of all the gambling going on as he passed back four tokens to Tiffany and six tokens each to the Gryffindor Prefects.

Now then. "Betting for round two may start now!"
