"Are you ready for today?"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Sorry, am I talking to a swarm of mice here? I said, are you READY for today!?"

"YES MA'AM!"

"That's what I thought! Now, today's drills! You've got me today to measure exactly how much stamina - or maybe lack of it, frankly, that you think you have! So we're hitting the tracks and you're going to be racing!

"Now as it happens, the other Wonderbolts are using most of the courses on campus, so only one track's been booked for us, but the good news is, there's twenty-five of you and the track's large enough to race five cadets. So at least each race will be fair: five groups of five ponies to race!

"However! I'll personally be watching every race and recording each of your results! And by the end of it, a lot of you will have made it so clear, I said SO CLEAR, how way off you are from being a tried and tested Wonderbolt, that it wouldn't be worth the effort it would take to get you to race again!

"Get it now? Those who actually prove they can outfly a snail in a hurry, I might make you race again just to make sure. So don't you dare think about trying to take it easy just after one win. ANY OF YOU! Anypony who can prove themselves the best three fliers out of all twenty-five of you get lighter duties tomorrow. So I'm expecting a good showing if you care about that at all!

"Got all that, rookies?"

"YES MA'AM!"

"Good to know! Now head to the tracks, in an orderly fashion! We have a long day ahead!"
