Forgive me, but it's virtually impossible for horses to be ready to race in 15 minutes. Let them race in an hour, at least!

EDIT: Never mind about the hour. However, they can not run in 15 mintues. It will take that long simply to get them ready, much less to warm them up. A horse sprinted without warming could end with injuries that may not heal properly. Sorry about the fine detail and the appearance of me being nit picky. I am actually being nit picky, but you can not imagine how my brain has been picked all afternoon... And I know too much about horses.

And Elempi, for Saeryn's sake, I am furious, and I'm really disliking Rowenna right now.
