He stays the same pace, and every time he hears someone coming, he's so game that he goes on again. He makes my job a lot easier.
I was surprised at how far back he was. I would have liked to have been a lot closer, but they were running fast so I left him alone. I let the horse do his own running. At the quarter pole, he was flying, so I had to swing him out into the clear, and he got the job done.
