You should have seen him coming back after the race to be unsaddled, he was lightly bouncing along, so proud of his run.

Papa Morey sure did love that old guy and I think you can see why, you can't help but love a horse that loves what he does (and makes you lots of money while doing it!).

Horses like Bold Chieftain are why I love this sport
