Same here, but your knowledge of QH racing is ten times better than mine.
Just started following them in the summer. I know a lot more about Arabian Racing than QH. I enjoy the arabians because I seem them a lot at Delaware Park were some of the best Arabians.

Also who is the guy in your avatar pix.

Mike
personal hero of mine,
Eric Heiden.

won 5 individual gold medals(speed skating) in the 1980 winter Olympics at Lake Placid, NY.

I never got to see him compete(except of course on tape), but I grew up with stories about his greatness.
parents named me after him b/c as a baby, they said I looked like him(I dont know how they could have known, just wishful thinking) but Ive grown up to look very similar to he did in his early 20s.


I am of course biased, but I personally believe he is the greatest indvidual athlete in the history of our great country.
