The distance is too short for Keen Ice to shine here.

Thanks! Mshawish has really taken to the dirt, and like always a good effort by Valid.
I wasn't happy with Madefromlucky's race at all. Rather disappointed by him.
I think Keen Ice needed a race and put in a solid effort. More distance for him?
