Before the race
Zoeya: We have another race starting soon. If you want to be a part of it, come tell me!
Zoeya: The next race starts soon. You're already registered.
Berhanu [Racer]: I'm going to win, no matter what.
Ybelle [Racer]: I can't wait.
Izem [Racer]: Glad I took the time to stretch.
Nia [Racer]: You'll all eat my dust.
Uttakkt [Racer]: Can't catch me! (giggle)
Uttakkt [Racer]: Let's go, go, go!
Child: Yay!
Child: Can't wait 'til I'm old enough to race.
Child: Go Berhanu! Go go go!
Child: Hope the skritt beats them all.
Child: Maybe when I'm older, they'll let me race.
Child: (laugh) Look at that one's legs! Bet it can go super fast.
Child: Uttakkt's legs are too short. There's no way she can win.
Child: I hope Nia wins, she always gives me candy.
Child: You're the fastest, Izem. You can do it!
Child: (roar) Wish I was a raptor.
Child: Raptors are the best by far. They can jump over anything!
Kilikki: I put all shinies on Uttakkt! Hurry, yes.
Troublemaker: You know you've been banned, so I don't know why you're still trying to place a bet.
Troublemaker: You never want to part with your "shinies" when you lose.
Kilikki: No, no! This time I will! I promise!
Troublemaker: You said that the last time, and the time before that. The answer is no.
If a jackal is present
Child: (sneeze) That sandy mount makes my nose itch.
Child: Whoah, never seen one of those before! Is it made of sand?
If a springer is present
Child: When I grow up, I want to tame a springer.
If a griffon is present
Child: Ooh, a griffon! They can dive from so high up.
