not just last on dirt, but last race.


i was talking to a lady at work--everyone knows my love of the sport, and have all been offering condolences to me btw--and i told her he was one in a million...he wasn't the best ever, but when you consider how well he handled everything thrown at him, his intelligence and willingness to put up with all those pesky humans, and all his talent he showed in his racing....he was a special horse. out of all the horses everyone has rushed to get retired so they can make babies--i'd have taken him over any of them, any day of the week.
