The old beast was "slow", but not that slow.   :)   His winning 
time at a mile was 1:37.   1:46 was his time for 1 1/16.    
At 1:54 the arabian would have been 85 lengths off that pace.

BTW, Gary Stevens rode him for one of those wins back when 
he was just a pup.   I have video.   Cool, eh?   

Magnum's lessor in CA couldn't bear to part with him.   This I 
completely understand.   I miss him terribly, but he's so much 
better off with her.   She rides him on trail and in the arena.   
She loaned him to her friend's daughter for a show when the 
daughter's pony came up off.    They won 5 ribbons.   He was 
such a good boy.   Just does whatever he's supposed to do.   

The daughter said she loved showing him and said he was 
easier to ride than her pony.   :)    The pictures she sent show 
this little tiny girl (small for her age) perched on this 15.3 TB.   
Her feet hardly make it 1/2 way down his sides.   He's got this 
"I'm being such a good horse"   look on his face.   It's priceless.   

At 23, he still doesn't look a day over 16 so we don't tell him. 
I see more blue ribbons in their future.   Brag, brag, brag...
