The Race
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2010 Post time is about 7 hrs away. 2009 was a rough trip for this one.
With my usual early running syle, and being a NTL I started off well. I fought off some early pressure from some cheap speed, but as I approached the end of the first turn I had to take up,and lost my stride,
Doc Sartin had passed away.I now found myself at the back of the pack, But I have the heart of a champ.
Seeing the back of all the horse ahead, I reached down and made a strong move into the backstrech, I retook the lead but it had a cost. I was losing energy fighting a few who were in this race only to see me slip up.
They came up to me and with all the negative energy in them they tried to
take me out of my race. The efforts were in vain and the stewards would have no part of them. They were DQ'd. Now I hit the second call. The weather changed. The track was off, I hated the mud and it seemed like it was muddy for months. I tried to run my race. Eventually the sun broke through I was rounding the far turn. It was at this point I looked around and all my friends were all around me. We all turned for home. We were 7 wide.
I wanted to win but I knew at that point a multi dead heat would be magic.
Imagine that photo of all of us in the winners circle.
In the stretch I feel back, With all my might I tried to hang on and give
the people from my barn who put there money on me my best effort. But too many old injurys and miss handling took its toll.I feel way back. I nearly pulled up. I watched the best of my peers finish ahead.I did all I could to just finish the race. There is always another race. When I hit home it was decided I needed a new barn My old ways just were not going to make it.I got claimed and my new barn was out west It is warm and not much mud. My new barn welcomed me After a little layoff and some morning works ,
I still have it. Off at the gate and they will never catch me .. I'm ready

Welcome 2010

Happy New Year
