Sorry about that.

You don't often see the kind of rapid stride turnover that HH displayed.
He switched leads in the blink of an eye.

I vote for Afrashad.

Afrashad will run henny hughes off his feet if they meet at toga. The horse is a future freak who hasnt had anything to run with yet. Watch what he will do if they put something with him that can run with him to the 1.4 pole.
