Part 5
| We follow the fake Kitty into the clubhouse, where she has found a quiet place to sit alone. What is she plotting? Let's listen in: Fake Kitty: "Look at all that beautiful cash...$200,000. And soon it'll be a cool million dollars! A million dollars for G.R.O.U.T. to use against T.I.L.E. and the so-called Free World! Hah! Everyone thinks Teabiscuit is the sure winner of the Belmont Stakes. Those blind, complacent American idiots! Little do they know that the real winner will be G.R.O.U.T.'s horse, Rule the World!" |  |

"
There's the listing: Rule the World at 5 to 1. That is exactly what we wanted. Those odds will make
us a fortune. One million dollars! Now to play it cool and place my bet. "Cashier, I'd like to put $200,000 on Rule the World to win the Stakes!" |
| "Those fools all think Rule the World is some harmless little also-ran filly. They underestimate the resourcefulness of G.R.O.U.T.! This morning I injected Rule the World with Durazhnik's secret Racehorse Serum; now there is no horse in the world that can beat her, not even the heroic Teabiscuit.
"That serum is derived from three of the greatest horses who ever lived: Man o' War, Citation, and Whirlaway. Three against one! No, not even Teabiscuit can overcome those odds. Still, one must take precautions. It is irritating that the du Mont lackeys have not cooperated so far with my efforts to put Teabiscuit at a further disadvantage. First that self-important driver Willy, then that mother-hen Manny at the stables--ooh, can't have his little Teabiscuit eating strange hay, even from 'Kitty!' "Well, at least the only du Mont 'in charge' here today is that drunken playboy Maurice. The really dangerous one, Kitty, is safely out of the way in Mexico City--I made sure of that! "Besides, I have other tricks up my sleeve...not the least of which is Rule the World herself! The serum notwithstanding, this filly's flirtatious charms will surely turn Teabiscuit's head and distract him from the race. Now I'll take out a little more insurance for my scheme..." |  |
