"I am wondering too about these 1 or 2 horses that died? What happened?
Also......... What is this with the haggins cup winner being on the front
page of tevis cup page... should it not be the race winner? What is the
point in riding it and getting first if you get no applaud. The auburn
journal talks all about haggins cup too, very little about the ride winner.
I know best condition is GREAT, but I thought it was about who finished
first AND BC. So, the guy that won should have his pic up first, THEN
haggins cup... just my opinion... but Why Try to win if you are just going
to be ignored. Its like going to the olympics, the marathon winner not
getting any photos and so on, but the person that had the best condition
when done is center of attention....... just my thoughts......."

As far as the winner, you would have to has been there in order to
understand
why the Haggin Cup was publicized more than the winner. Don't judge a book
by
his/her cover!
One horse died; the other horse rolled down 700 feet to the river and
lived -
and it was at the fairgrounds that afternoon after care by head veterinarian
Jamie Kerr.
It was a year of many horse injuries as well as rider injuries.
For myself, it was great year - finished 44th (buckle 6) - on a new horse
and
it was his first 100 miler. He did a fabulous job and looked fantastic at
the
end.
