This is just a nice little story based very loosely off the story of Secretariat and what it would have been like had he been in the world of MLP. Here, a new pony comes to town taking over as a new gym teacher and coach of the local athletics team, passing himself off as a subdued and nice southern gentlepony, but with an air of mystery. Who is this newcomer to Ponyville?
Good chapter. I have a bit of distrust of the media, having gotten wise over the years to the ugly manipulation and exploitation that is the bread-and-butter of British tabloids, but this chapter really shines a light on how the engine of celebrity journalism works. And sadly, MLP has shown us that this could easily be canon; ponies are fickle, and they are easily swayed by media. :)
