Said alien did indeed show his ticket.

It was more than just a ticket to race. It was also his ticket to hopefully a life outside the Empire.

Alternia was a brutish planet. He was a limeblood, presumed extinct. They would slaughter him. He had to live ready to murder for his own survival. He made few friends.

But whatever was the bonus at the end... It could be his lucky ticket. Life unashamed, unpersecuted. Freedom.

He very much wanted freedom; for all he cared, the money could go to the other racers as an apology. He could manage on his own. Always had.Probably always would.

But first he had to win the race, as he calmed the likely startled horse with soft words and gentle strokes.
