No reason for that what-so-ever. If I were rich, I would have a pasture full of horses like him.

There really should be an age limit on horses. People writing the condition books should keep that in mind.
12 years old is really asking too much of a racehorse to be competitive. |

Sok Sok.........wow odd to see that name in the results for a 5k claiming race. Kinda sad.

Very happy he gets to go somewhere good now (and I wish the same for Workin' for Hops. He's not in the same boat as this guy but wow... a 5k claimer on Friday isn't exactly where I thought he'd end up). :( Hate seeing them sink... |
