The pilot did a terrific job getting the plane down. We were lucky enough to survive that crash. It's something you're grateful for, and I guess it just wasn't my time ...
Whatever we've asked him so far he's done, so we're going to try the dirt now and if he doesn't handle it, we'll still know that we have an exceptional turf horse. He'd only worked one time on the grass before his last race, and he's trained well on the dirt.
