Oh boy...and I'm going to go and see him run this time.

Thanks. When we saw him closing and when he reached them at the line...we thought he had it...had it been a couple of strides further...we would have had it...however...it wasn't and we didn't...but we are very proud of him. The fractions were not slow...so he did show us something.

a paycheck and a good run. Not very much more to expect
Thanks. He literally lost by one step...maybe next time he'll get there one step sooner...
We are proud of him and we are sure he has plenty of good stuff ahead of him.

Yep...and his sire is Officer...which speaks for itself...not too bad a combo, huh?
Base Commander loves the poly...he does carry his head a little high...but he sure can rocket when necessary...let's just hope in his next race he rockets a few steps sooner...and spares me the heart attack...
