At year's end we typically see many of our favorite stars move into retirement or second careers. Inspite of the many fan favorites and talented athletes who have left the track, one thing remains...their finishes. Let's remember and celebrate our many athletes by looking back at some of the hair raising finishes this past year!
Here is a short list of several races that I can watch over and over.

The Mini Horse
I am a fan of Rob Dyrdek who is involved in the horse industry with horses such as Weemissfrankie. He has had several TV shows, but I know him more from his skating days. Anyway, this is one of my favorite shows with him, when he and Big went to gain the next part of their family, Mini Horse. My favorite scene is at 9:40 into the show…when riding home in the car
