As I stated in the Lawyer Ron time thread, they ran a freak-out race. It happens, and I agree they won't run back to it.

He's a very good horse, but not all time good as the time/figure would indicate.

Same thing I noticed... huge improvement in that regard.

He almost pulled P Val out of the saddle in the BCC last year throwing his head around, and PVal is one STRONG dude. Training him in draw reins was genius...
