Default Mongolian saturday

Highlight of the weekend on track was seeing how happy these connections were. Events like that are what make these 2 days of racing so special. The group was walking through the crowd all day to applause and high fives. Going to be an awesome plane ride home for them!

Lady Shipman not getting up started the downward spiral that was my day. Sickening what I lost because of that. Would've had tri for 5, ex for 4, p3 ending in F&M Sprint for 5.

Bug met windshield, but American Phaorah saved the day with his performance.

I agree... best "unexpected" moment of the weekend. Was just below the group as they had their parade to the winners circle. Watched whole sections stand up and give them a rousing salute as they strutted down the isle.

It renews my sense of sportsmanship and faith in the game when you see other owners and breeders giving these people their few minutes in the sun.
