Description
They had to change positions each time the ball left their hand, so that by the time Miress had thrown it back again to Ky, she was already plunking down and hauling her body into a different position for the catch.
....
Panthé drew a breath as Miress caught it yet again and threw it back, Ky nearing the finish line. They had thrown it back and forth twelve times, but Ky was making a strange motion to which his partner nodded at.

Technically, the teams could throw to each other until the back runner had crossed the finish line entirely. But not many teams attempted to chance such a throw, for most horses sped up on sight of the end of their run, throwing whatever throw that had been made out of balance. But the ball left Ky’s hand and landed in Miress’s as Butterscotch thundered across the finish in a flash of black and red.
