Which excerpt from The Land contains descriptive narration?

Early the following morning the Alabama man came to the stables where Mitchell and I were tending to a gelding.
I put him through paces, first a trot followed by a gallop before slowing him down and taking him back to the cool of a shade tree.
Now, I knew that this man was not about to count out the total of his winnings to me and let me take my two percent, and I wasn't about to ask him what his wager was.
I glanced again at Mitchell, who kept on grooming the gelding, but his eyes did meet mine, letting me know he knew the same as I about this man Ray Sutcliffe.
