Tarok Page #7

---

Other teams are passing them.

It's your last chance, my boy.

- Jrn Laursen accelerates.

- Take them!

But he gets boxed in again.

His attack failed.

Such a shame for the Dane!

Damn!

Perhaps he should not

have started so cautiously.

- Go, daddy, go!

- Go for it.

The battle is lost.

Tarok is humiliated again.

Or could he still make a move?

But the leaders are galloping!

The field is breaking up.

- There's a gap.

- Go!

Move it, old boy!

Go on!

Jrn Laursen has found a gap.

Tarok makes his move.

It's looking good.

He has broken out of the box.

Tarok is still moving up the field.

The dreaded hill is approaching.

- Off you go!

- Here comes the hill.

Jrn Laursen pulls out.

Will the Danish flag on four legs

be crushed on the hill?

Just don't bolt!

- Go, Jrn!

- Remember our training!

Tarok is shooting ahead.

He is in seventh place now.

Hanne, get down off the sofa!

Tarok accelerates

up the dreaded hill.

- Tarok is close to sixth place.

- Go for it!

Go, damn you!

- Can he win 6th place?

- Now is the moment!

Now for the final 200 metres.

Tarok moves up to fifth place.

Can Tarok keep up this pace?

- Onward!

- Can he keep it up?

Can Tarok defend his fifth place?

Now he's fighting for fourth place.

Go, Tarok, go!

They are going like the clappers.

Will Tarok be fourth?

Yes! Tarok comes fourth!

Fourth in the toughest

harness race in the world!

It's fantastic! A world sensation!

Tarok covered

the final 200 metres -

- faster than any other horse in

the history of the Prix d'Amerique.

Tarok is the best foreign horse

and he is in the prizes.

Jrn Laursen rode

like a world-class pro.

Thank you, Karl.

You are the best granny ever.

You said. It was just as you said.

I should just have listened to you.

Just listened to you.

Jrn?

Will you hold him?

That last 200 metres, right?

I have never seen anything like it.

Tarok was definitely the strongest

horse in the whole field.

Congratulations.

Good luck with your new stable.

It'd be an honour to drive for you.

A year later

Has he eaten anything?

No. He hasn't touched a thing.

I'll take him for a walk.

It'll do him good.

I'll finish off in here.

Good evening, here is the news

on this Friday, 30 January.

A death.

The Danish flag

on four legs is dead.

Tarok has succumbed to the

dreaded Baron Gruff virus, -

- a deadly intestinal disease.

Tarok has lost his final race.

He will rest well here.

We'll always be able to see him

from across the fields.

Things will never be the same again.

No.

Not for them, either,

it would seem.

Karl and Elisabeth

are buried beside Tarok.

Stald Kima died with them.

Jrn and Ingelise

closed their car dealership

and started their own stables.
