I still remember his battles with Bonapaw and Abajo at FG and Churchill. He was a darn good closing sprinter, a G3 winner at CD. His APR record indicates that he had run at a mile or beyond 3 times before 2005, with a win and a third, by the way. It is sad to see grand old warriors like this fall down the class ladder.
