I've been following this boy and his story ...
For those who don't know ... He didn't start his racing career until age 9 ... And actually broke his maiden at the Humboldt County Fair in Ferndale last out ... Such a cool story ... I didn't expect to ever see him live and found myself hoping someone could get a pic of him and post it here ...
Well ... Lo and behold! I looked at the entries for this Sunday at Fairplex and they've shipped him down here! I'm SOOOOO excited! Can't wait to see him in person!
IMHO ... This guy is such a GREAT story!

Yeah ... he basically just started 7 back and just stayed there the whole time. Oh well ... I enjoyed seeing him anyway and definitely look forward to his next race.PJMIII wrote:Honker's Holiday finished seventh. Hopefully he'll do better his next time out.
If anyone, besides me, is interested ... Here's a pic of the old fella ... He's a nice looking kid!

Does he have a short tail, or is it the way the pic is?
