He told me to try and stay close. After I got position after the start, I decided to be patient and save him as much as I could to about the half-mile pole.
I tried to stay comfortable on my horse, but he wanted to go. I asked him a little bit at the three-eighths pole, and he just kept going.
I tried to go to the lead but then I saw No. 6 (Ball Four) go to the lead, so I stayed in the second lane because my horse doesn't like getting dirt in his face,
