while the dragons found a nearby Ren Faire to cause some excitement....
The griffon, inexplicably hung out with the truck, having not given his name...

'snf'  Joey sat cross-legged with the Griffon at the back of the Tardis as all the others traipsed into Zen's Tartruck. "Now listen," said Joe |

"We have got to have a plan ready to go" said Joe.
"There has to be some touristy spot for us too, and I don't think it is here at Churchhill downs." griped Gus the Griffon. "Those darn horses are giving me the willies the way they just want to run as fast as they can. I say, why run when you can fly?"
Joe nodded in agreement and they both sighed. Looking out over the surroundings, they heard a motor coming around the bend. They both turned at the same time, and saw that it was .........

.... a snow-covered tractor. There was a blue haze in the air above the cab.
"Another Tardis??!!" Sau-Til asked in disbelief.
"No, no," said Zen, casually, "just Canadian swearwords."
These, too, cross time and space in the twinkling of a broadband connection now.

Adcooper and Zenrider joined in.
And :
"hello?" said a wee, small voice.
"Oh, THERE you are Welkin," said Deb. "You're just in time for our dragon 'n' horse display at the 'Closing Ceremony' of the Paralympics.
The Ex-Racers rehearsed frantically over Disneyland, only too conscious that they needed to be bigger and better than parachuting queens; Mary Poppins, Voldemort, etc.
Ex-Racers on dragons banked and circled around London City airport.
Ex-Racers on horses stomped and snorted back-stage (the people, not the horses).
The whole stadium went (or will go) black. There was a silence which only eight thousand people, holding their breath, can achieve.
The flotilla of dragons BREATHED, lighting up London with chariots of fire.
To 'The Ride of The Valkyries', dragons swooped and horses thundered into the arena. For 10 fire-filled minutes dragon and horse riders switched and rode.
All went dark.
Danny lit a single Olympic torch.
There was Brooks. Her chair was - or will be - hung with Stars and Stripes and her torch burning brightly, leading the Paralympic parade.
She wheels proudly around the arena. Behind her; the gold medal winners of every country. Behind them; the ex-racers and their mounts; horses stepping proudly; dragons with their wings held high, but folded.
And that, really is, the end of the story.

PS Brooks was so glad she had gotten her new tires, they gave her a lovely new ride around the stadium.

EPILOGUE :
All the stars had gone. The audience had piled out, starry-eyed, stopping to speak to the news cameras along the way. The Ex-racers were settling down their horses and dragons in the Royal Straw. Brooks was giving interviews to NBC, still in her patriotic chair.
In the stadium, the cleaning crew was sweeping up crisp packets, empty Coke bottles and gossiping excitedly about the events of the day.
Slowly, the word spread around and all the cleaners turned to stare ...
There, in a blue haze, was a John Deere tractor, flying the Canadian flag and proceeding in a stately manner around the victory lap. Terrie, riding shotgun, and waving a small American flag, was hissing at Tee. 'I TOLD you we'd be late!'
A cheer rose up from the cleaners in the stands.
"Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee..." they sang.
Greater London police are now studying the CCTV footage to identify the suspects. One believed to be from Canada, perhaps one American; several cats and a foul-mouthed John Deere tractor fitted with a snow-plough.
A woman questioned at the scene is reported to have said : "!!**/$XXBlsh WEATHERLIAR"
