 Uh........that's not gravy in those corrals, Sheila. Verrrry important 
that you know the difference.:>

Yes, it was Thor, and thank you for remembering. I have told his story 
here before. It's true that we finished first that day, and that he looked
good afterward. But the reason we finished first was because the front 
runners were competing so hotly, and, not wanting to lose sight of one 
another,
were traveling in a pack. When the leader made a wrong turn, they all 
blindly followed, and went miles off course, effectively eliminating them.
I rode MY ride, knew the trail, took care of my horse, and snuck into 
first place. THAT'S what made it feel like winning, to me.

Incidentally, that was the first year that the first place runner beat 
the first place horse. It has happened several times since then.   Bruce
