A most memorable time it was. I was in Fort Walton, Beach Fl and to this day I can still here myself yelling at the top of my lungs, " Get up damnit, Get up ...FIGHT, FIGHT, RUN ..... yeaaahhhhh!

I shed a tear that day that race. :!:

I just graduated to a 2yold maiden. My nexty race will be MSW 54K. :wink:

In my grandparents' living room. Can't remember who I was rooting for but it wasn't Alex or Scrappy T. So at that point I was just curious to see who'd win. I thought he broke down and i was horrified. Then he just picked himself up and went on with it. We all started screaming for him then to "win it after that!" It was just amazing.

I think the video of that made all the news headlines in the country - not sports headlines, new headlines.
