Evasive maneuvering displays how much skill jockeys must have, to weave in and out of tractors near full speed. Amazing.
Apparently, after one trip around the track, the maintenance crew thought the race was over.
No horses were hurt and the betting public had their money returned.

Since my blog has been relatively neglected of recent, I am aware updates on some of my favorite horses running have been neglected. Here is a synopsis of a few of those horses and their recent accomplishments over the the last few months! I am proud of all of them.
I don't know how much I have mentioned
Dance Floor Maniac in this blog previously, but he is definitely fitting to follow. Dancing is something I enjoy doing and have been told I am pretty good, but setting my ego aside, I really enjoy learning about culture and dance which exists in most cultures.
Anyway, it was only natural to follow Dance Floor Maniac and I have been pleasantly surprised by his efforts.
