How true Teddy!  My favorite one is a guy in our area who consistently (98
was his first year) gallops his 5 year old TB over the entire course.  When
he finished the Big Horn this year he commented "You know, I would have WON
if they just hadn't kept holding me at all the vet checks"  Happy Holidays,
